Donald Trump Says Elon Musk Will Lead 'Government Efficiency' Task Force
“I look forward to serving America if the opportunity arises," Musk said.
Twitter: 📉💥🔥🔥🔥
Trump: “perfect resumé Elon, now let’s finish off America for our beloved Pootie”
Considering Trump's track record, it would be strange if he supported something actually likely to succeed.
yes lets put the man that single handedly collapsed the EV market and obliterated Twitter in charge of "streamlining" the government, that is a great idea!
He’s totally going to fire every single federal employee and then complain that he can’t renew his passport.
Having Elon anywhere near government anything is a terrible idea and he's an awful human but what's this about the EV market? I thought it was doing fine. Twitter though yeah that has been just...a large wtf per minute value for sure.
yeah if you look at the stats of the market, its been all over sites like Bloomberg and Forbes, the EV market is imploded because "Americans don't want EVs" but when you break it down by manufacturer the market is overall growing if you excluded tesla, but Tesla is the largest maker in the segment so as they dive the market as a aggregate takes a hit.
That's exactly why they want people like him. The goal is to hit the government in the knees and then say "see? The government can't walk, we need to get rid of it"
Bruh fired people who wrote efficient code...
Ah yes Elon Musk the Joseph Goebbels of a trump administration
Donald trump says Elon musk will lead “how to shovel more money into my pockets and the private sector while dismantling more government” task force.
If this actually happens, it will be a shit show of epic proportions.
I think it’s going to be a spectacular year for employment lawyers.
Surely even conservatives can see that Musk is an idiot.
After seeing a lot of the recent online discourse and with the amount of overt misinformation out there, I'm not convinced they can see anything anymore.
Some, sure. Most, I'm not so sure.
Elon would Twitter the US empire.
Step 1) Rename the country to something more hip. Possibly USX.
Step 2) Have everyone sign a pledge to work twice as hard.
Step 3) Cut everything that has a budget.
Step 4) Profit?
Don't forget to dock their pay if they do something unproductive like sleep.
Trump made the remarks Thursday during a campaign stop at the New York Economic Club. “At the suggestion of Elon Musk, who has given me his complete and total endorsement…I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government,” Trump said. “Elon has agreed to head the task force,” Trump added while noting that the task force would be responsible for “making recommendations for drastic reforms” to the government.
Not sure I love the sound of "drastic reforms to the government". But if we're stupid enough to give gim the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania again, it's what we deserve.
As Gerrymandered as most red states are now and all the voter suppression tactics, I don’t know “stupid enough” would be the cause. The popular vote WILL go to Kamala. It’s whether the gaming of the electoral system can be overcome.
Gerrymandering affects the house. It's the electoral college that affects the presidential election.
Those of us ignorant enough to vote for Trump also vote for the Greg Abbott's and Ron DeSantis' of the country. It's not a popular position these days but we, the little people, includes the poo-brained asshats voting for Trump and the fascist takeover of the American South. But they're too stupid (or more accurately, willfully ignorant) to understand the scope of what voting for maga and maga-adjacent Republicans really means.
I guess through a kinder lens our maga neighbors don't have the perspective required to understand the truth of the world they live in. Some might be wholly incapable, but most just don't care enough to try. But the societal bubble the average maga voter lives it makes the ethos look pretty appealing. The rhetorical techniques used by maga media and personalities are like psyops level effective.
It would be irresponsible and incorrect to lay it all at the feet of voters or politicians of any political party. Every American is responsible for what's going on in the country right now.
Sounds like Project 2025, the thing he claims not to know about.
That's exactly what it will be. "It is totally not Project 2025 because Musk made it up after heading the task force, right.... right? Wait, he came up with all the exact same actions as Project 2025? That must be coincidence."
Pay attention to who has the signs out in their yard for Dementia DonOLD. If he gets elected, watch them all flip like they never voted for him when shit all goes bad.
Elon Musk is presently involved with the operation of multiple companies, not to mention posting on social media. I think that his plate is pretty full.
Every one of those companies would probably be doing better without his involvement, so that might be a positive for them...
He is also involved with many court cases he would probably appreciate if Trump could make go away, like surely Trump will do with his own first thing, should he get the chance.
He will make it as efficient as he did with Twitter!
It all starts with a name change, as always. Maybe "Holy Roman empire" will be dramatic enough for his tastes.
His dumbass will probably want to do something like 'FasceX'
Great. So the Gov’t will have a quarter of its current value.
Governments should not be measured in "value" of any financial aspect, but rather the quality of living of the citizens they govern. Electing a leader of questionable human rights morals would be a disaster.
“Value” is not a term reserved for financial discussions. Don’t ruin the joke.
This should be in commercials. There's Trump's Stupid ideas and Musk's ideologic stupidity. What a fucking Reese's these two would make
Chump sucking off a foreign national/wannabe dictator...
Tale as old as time.
Nothing says "efficiency" like a racist, drug addicted manchild with untreated ADHD who never sleeps.
Not exaggerating - these people literally want to turn us into slaves. They’re going to take EVERYTHING they can from us.
Wasn't he supposed to be on Mars by now? I can see why Dementia DonOLD likes him, he tanks businesses just like him, he lies just like him, he makes bullshit promises again just like him, and I could go on....
Well, narcissistic idiots who’ve built their empires on lies and exploitation flock together.
This just goes to show that nobody ever graduates school. What happens in elementary school in terms of popularity contests reoccurs in junior high and high school, college, businesses, religions, and governments. Humanity is still in its adolescence and until we actually mature as a species, we will constantly be on the brink of death or we will find a way to make it happen.
On the one hand, government jobs are known to be very cushy compared to industry where the harsh realities of late-stage capitalism are in full swing.
On the other hand, Elon is in no position to fix the government inefficiency problem. He would call for some ridiculously stupid and uninformed decisions to be made based upon his business ethos of nuking (potentially important) things and starting from scratch.
His idea of efficiency is having his employees work 60-80 hours a week and firing people that don't. That does not work with government jobs which are often unionized.
Exactly. Also, that sort of efficiency is a myth because people can't sustain that workload for more than the time required to upskill and get out of that company. You lose good people with knowledge of your operation doing what Elon does.
"At the suggestion of Elon Musk [...] I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government" -Donald Trump
[Trump noted] the task force would be responsible for “making recommendations for drastic reforms” to the government.
The fact that this man doesn't understand that our entire system of checks and balances is what makes recommendations (and implements) drastic reforms, just shows how much of a fascist he is.
Adding Musk to his own special "task force" meant to "recommend" changes, which would, in reality, just be another avenue of control, is a clear attempt to centralize power.
Corpochristofascism
🤣🤦♂️
I heard someone say they fellate each other. Oh no, that was a video I saw of Lonnie interviewing the orange bad sucking each other off.
MrRobot plot IRL just droped!
He's very effective at losing money.
Elon Musk nonsense aside, a Department for Government Efficiency is honestly not a bad idea. Apparently, the military is tremendously wasteful, as are most other government departments. This could genuinely save some taxpayer money and free up funds for good things.
You know it will be used only to go after schools, social programs, or other things they want to destroy.
