Unironically an improvement over our past bullshit. Keep coping, leftists.
Good, good!
As the meme goes, I just wanted to be left alone. I didn't hate these people. Now I take great pleasure in their self-inflicted suffering. I still hope they sort themselves out and have happy lives...but their utter and complete despair is a nice consolation prize if they won't embrace sanity. They did this. They inflicted their bullshit on me, on society, and on themselves.
If Trump existing exhausts these automatons, so be it.
Similarly to how outraged they are at Trump's mere existence...tell me what Elon did, exactly? Yes, there was some money and, yes, Elon has power. But he just supported Trump And was open about it. It beats the sneakiness of Soros, Zuckerberg, or any of the other nasty people actually throwing around corruption and ill-gotten influence.
If a progressive had done it, you'd be slobbering all over it, Reddit. This is Reddit; their humor is even dumber than they accuse Elon of being.
Not everyone is an incompetent loser. Leaders delegate.
Man, it really is sad. All the criticisms are so base-level, so pointless, so inaccurate, and so self-congratulatory. It's just Redditors patting themselves on the back and trying to show off how progressive they are. Lame. Weak. Gay.
Reminder that Leftists tried to rebrand "DEI" as "JEDI" at one point recently. They are just mad it wasn't one of their ideas, you're entirely right.
Justice?
I think so, yes. I tried to block it out of my head generally, but cursed memories resurface too easily.
Government contractors having a say in government spending?
IMPOSSIBRU! We can not allow this to happen!
Can you imagine if Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Haliburton, Pfizer, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, Cargil, Blackrock, Blackstone, JP Morgan Chase, Omnigroup, WPP, AT&T, Amazon, Time-Warner, NBC Universal, News Corp, Berkshire Hathaway, Alphabet, HSBC, General Motors, General Electric, Ford, Chrysler, or Monsanto were allowed to dictate US policy?!!
...
I could have sworn we were talking to the Left.
Maybe we were just talking to the Old Left, where all corporations were bad, but now DEI corporations and oligarchs are good.
And we can't forget ShittyBank, who picked all of Obama's cabinet.
Glorious post
I saw posts on reddit yesterday where people were unironically calling Elon a loser. The most successful businessman on the planet who just made himself the right-hand man to the leader of the free world called a loser by predditors. I laughed for 10 minutes straight.
Fun story: the Denmark subreddit have a new story about Tesla owners wanting to sell their teslas. because they dont want to support Elon...
Except they already did, the bank loaned them the money to buy the car. He already got all of the support you could give...
Morons.
Well a used Telsa may replace a new sale, which would actually hurt Tesla if they don't have enough customers, but it seems that they can sell however many cars they make.
Although cybertruck is so hideous they may have trouble selling them now that nerd lefties are boycotting Tesla.
"DOGE kills ATF."
The headlines write themselves.
Now that would be one hell of an Uno reverse card!
This is golden.
Justice for doggos everywhere!
Elon did that on purpose for the memes and lulz, unironically.
Elon isn't try to destroy everything he touches, Soros is. They are not the same, and only a reddit faggot would think they are.
-George Soros - 1990’s on a since scrubbed interview on video
How do we know that interview exists/is real?
I watched it. Didn’t think to save it off YouTube as I was unaware the magnitude of what he is doing and I was newer to finding out that stuff. Searched everywhere for it. You don’t have to believe me if that’s what you’re insinuating. I know what I watched. It was an interview with him where he described how currency manipulation was a hobby to him and how he practiced ruining other small countries to see what does and what does not work with America being his end goal.
I mean yeah that's basically what I'm insinuating. I don't know you, I don't know how much credo you have in saying this video is real. You can say you've watched it but for all I know you could be misremembering or making it up or maybe saw an AI generated interview.
I'd just like to see if your quote can be found anywhere else
Muh misremembering muh disinformation muh misinformation. You strayed off the Reddit plantation where your pay check is bud. There’s lots out there where governments have accused him (rightly) of crashing their currency. He’s famous for making billions in a night for crashing currencies.
If you had a perfect memory then you'd be able to find that video. Like if you remember who was interviewing him, what event, when it took place, and so on it would be easy to find it.
It still exists somewhere. Maybe we'd have to resort to visiting the "60-minutes museum" in some 2-bit town, but we could find it.
The rest of us with imperfect memories often revisit a quote that we only realized was important after the fact and find it was somewhat different than how we remembered it.
nah, fuck you. We're living in an age of active and hostile propaganda as evidenced by at least the past decade. Everyone should actively distrust things that can't be verified. If you have a problem with that then you're a malicious actor and we should bully you out of our community.
Bud lol. It's not that difficult to wrap your head around.
You're the only one saying this interview is real. It's the equivalent of "my dad works for nintendo and I play all the secret games." All I'm doing is asking if there is any other source for what you're saying. I'm not just gonna take you at your word.
:)
Tits or GTFO
That's why I always viewed Elon as an odd one. Elon wants to help humanity succeed. Some of his ideas are fucking weird (those damn brain chips still bother me) but I don't sense a type of malevolence or "I know better than all of you" sort of elitist mentality from him compared to other billionaires like Bill Gates, Oprah, etc.
He's the walking opposite dembodiment of the "ALL BILLIONAIRES R BAD MMK" mentality leftists have. Can you find a billionaire in this day and age that is saying that the Western world should make MORE babies and breed more because we actually are having a Western population crisis?
What other fucking billionaire would risk being the ass joke of mainstream media and to buy Twitter, one of the "big three" of social media at the time just because he thought it was being poorly run and corrupt as fuck (and he was proven right!)
Nobody told him he had to join in on any of this shit. He's still very much a kinda center-ish dude, and the left HATE him for it.
I remember 10+ years ago he was the darling of the left. Reddit would suck his cock because he stuck it to those EVIL Republicans who opposed "green energy".
Now that he dares to express his beliefs of wanting free unfettered speech and at least a sane government and the left loses their fucking minds.
Oh, and the dude has almost got us back into space, but who cares, right leftists?
Has reddit ever stopped throwing a melty?
It's going on a decade of continuous TDS and liberals melting down over the orange cheeto man.
I'm convinced that at this point many of them have suffered permanent mental damage as a result of the industrial grade propaganda turrets firing into the prison yard of their echo chambers.
Government Efficiency is an oxymoron.
Nice to see Elon's autistic brain still finds that (figuratively and literally) dead meme funny. DOGE is slightly less retarded than renaming Twitter "X".
He's like the inverse of Trump. Painfully unfunny but at least he'll get shit done
The doge is always cute no matter what
Something important that is getting overlooked is that this D.O.G.E has a timeline of July so it itself WON'T be a forever agency and probably means it'll be 5 straight months of purging and boots up asses.
I've said this before: all agencies and all laws should require a sunset clause.
Sunset clause can just be extended for every department in an omnibus bill.
Agencies need a hard end date and then Congress can create a new, duplicate agency if they want to that starts from scratch with new buildings, new hires. Even if they basically just 'roll over' the old department into the new one it'll at least give a real opportunity to purge the waste and corruption.
Omnibus bills should require a blood sacrifice of at least one politician.
This is such a great idea, basically you prevent the revolving door that these current permanently embedded agencies are.
July 2026 though right?
Compared to when the FBI was SUPPOSED to disband, 1.5 years (as Trump takes office in January 2025), this will be lightning speed lol.
Speaking of which, I love the idea the FBI is on the chopping block..
Is the July 4th, 2026 end date for the DOGE program a sunset clause so that another permanent bureaucracy isn't created?
An arbitrary deadline to speed along decisions?
Elon has said he likes doing hard projects in a limited amount of time.
This is going to radicalize Elon. He is going to run up against unfireable diversity hires, and unfireable diversity hires are an immovable object.
tongue click "SHIIIIIIIIET, you can' fuggin' fire me! I'z be a fuggin' Afrecan-americun! An I ain' be doin' anythang 'cause dis jerb is reparayshuns for slavery an shiiiiiet."
Elon massively improved Twitter by firing 80% of the employees.
Would likely get the same result with the federal government. Though more like 95%.
I have never been so excited to get shitcanned in my life.
The reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee from people who don't want the gravy train to end will shake the nation.
''We're on strike!''
Elon : ''You're already fired. Keep not working, I don't care.''
Haha, I hope you're looking for another position my man. You are one of the good ones, but for every good federal employee that is loyal to the US like you, you get 9 people who treat it like a 9-5.
I'm a contractor so I'm not too worried. There's always a next job and the axe swinging this time doesn't change that a bit for me. Besides, I've got enough savings to weather this storm for a number of years if things get well and truly dire.
For real though there is so much dead weight in government it is unreal. Incompetent low-IQ NPCs as far as the eye can see. I've seen at least two utterly useless(as in hard zero productivity rather than just substandard) people scrub out of my office in the past two years and we're not even a sizeable outfit.
Much wow. Many reeeeee!
Wait until private companies jump on board because they will follow and all the non-jobs these career influencers are showing off on TikTok disappear. My sympathies will be with the low paid workers whose jobs will disappear through automation and face the real prospect of never finding a job again.
Automation isn't what will get rid of those do-nothing jobs. Those jobs exist because most DEI hires can't actually handle a productive job. They will go away when DEI incentives do.
The actual productive jobs have been getting hit with wave after wave of reorgs and layoffs since the 80s, so I doubt automation will be any more destructive than offshoring is.
We've hit a brick wall when it comes to automation. Even Walmart is going back to wagie cashiers with how rampant shoplifting is. There's no more road to kick the can down anymore; corpos will have to eat the inflation shit sandwich.
I think those issues with shoplifting has more to do with shit laws in leftist states/cities and a lot of dindus being let off lightly.
Do remember, California just passed Prop 36 which undoes the crap Prop 47 did - Prop 47 is what's allowing dindus to steal "less than $950" and only have a slap on the wrist and let out the next day where they can repeat the crime over and over again. And instead of it progressing to a felony, it stays as a misdemeanor with a $0 signature bond bail.
Prop 36 basically repeals all the retarded shit in 47 and they just elected a DA that is a MAGA-type DA sooooo.... even California is shifting to the right. That's good.
They'll be fine if Trump times the immigration policy enforcement right. But they might go from sitting on their ass to asking if you want fries.
Or collect grocery carts.
For all the talk that robotaxis are Just Around the Corner™, no one has yet to automate this simple problem.
They should make their motto "AFUERA".
Has anyone photoshopped Elon and Vivek onto The Bobs yet?
I'm upset, but for opposite reasons for Reddit.
There was some talk a few days before the election that Ron Paul might get involved with DOGE. I want to see that happen, both to be able to spam "It's Happening" memes everywhere and so the poor guy could directly participate in one thing he wanted for decades starting to come to pass. Hopefully he still gets to participate a bit.
To be honest, Ron Paul has been getting up there in age and has fought his wars. I'm not sure he immediately want to get into, what would probably amount to, the biggest war in his life where he is personally cutting government budgets.
That's fair. Hopefully he at least gets some popcorn time out of it.
I want to see him get one swipe at the federal reserve and to be able to peek inside Fort Knox JUST once. Let the good man finish those two things on his bucket list!
Judging by those retarddit left cultist comments, it would appear they still don't realize that they are the cultural, political and ideological minority.
