Excellent piece of perception there. Occam's razor. If it acts like a duck, it is a duck.

Elon Musk can only add value to Trumps America First policies and has the support of 76M voters.Trumps MAGA dream team is well accoladed and poised now to execute stunning improvements and nation building in America and will likely shatter and set new records for achievement. Elon Musk is super human and nothing can stop him it seems from producing net beneficial gain in everything he touches day after day. America's intrinsic , extrinsic value is increasing more each day since Nov 5 2024. You can thank Trump for this diametric about face to rebuild and restore her back to highly revered old glory. Trumps back and so is America.

Musk is an impressive entrepreneur.

 

However, the personality characteristics that makes a good entrepreneur and innovator, are not the same as the necessary skills to manage a mature and established business such as Twitter. This failure was expected from the start.

He doesn't care. He bought it to get Trump elected and influence the tenor of speech in the US for years to come. This is what happens when megalomaniac nut cases become oligarchs.

Musk funded right-wing political non-profit years before he endorsed Trump

Musk’s donations to the groups were kept quiet, Reuters and the Wall Street Journal reported. He funneled money through social welfare groups that are not required to disclose their donors. People involved in his donations to Citizens for Sanity would use Signal, an encrypted messaging app, to discuss the transactions, the Wall Street Journal reported.

If it was in the Guardian and Reuters so it must be true!

Of course they don't.

But X is still running smoothly with 80% of the staff gone. That was a HUGE cost saving. I doubt Elon will worry about it that much.

He was never worried about it. That's the distortion of economics when the oligarchs want to seize power.

He is the richest man on earth, sends rockets into space and also lands them, has it effected him in a bad way, Where is your rocket?

You said he was a 'ketimine' user but implied it in a derogatory way... I don't see any negatives, can you show some, you think he is u fit to streamline the bloated government agencies?

So basically, you have nothing to say. He bought it, sacked 80% of the waste and it efficient... and what?

What power did he seize... a corrupted left wing activist agency and made it neutral?

And Musk is the richest person on the planet and soon to be trillionaire and free speech thrives  on twitter/x for $44B in chump change for Elon. Brilliant, and look who's entering office as 47th, thanks to contributions from the best brains in the country including Elon. The guy is super-human. Outstanding achievements BUT twitter revenue is down....lol....

This potential Trump nomination for FBI director will turn the FBI into a deep state museum. Awesome pick. Same guy who witnessed Trump asking for 10,000 national guard troops ahead of his Jan 5 speech at the Ellipse. They don't come any more loyal and capable than Kash Patel.

Musk is South African. It would not be a surprise if he and his family was/is a supporter of the apartheid regime in his home country the way he now appear as an extreme right wing politician.

 

He was not a supporter of apartheid. It is unfair to even accuse him of something for which he was not even remotely connected. He immigrated to Canada at age 17, joining  the large South African community who had fled the oppressive South African regime. His father's opposition to apartheid is well documented. He was raised in a home that was not  supportive of the  apartheid system. Musk is driven by ego and by  profit making opportunity. He doesn't care who he deals with if it means he gets what he wants.

As opposed to the extreme left wing politician Biden and Kamala? Musk is an extremely talented man that has the potential to save the U.S. tax payers millions, perhaps billions of dollars of wasted funds generated by the socialist Democrats. Over seventy two million Americans voted for Trump to make American great again.

 

Biden is not extreme left, nor is Harris. It shows a profound ignorance of political ideologies to make that statement. 

Yes, there is a predominance of red, but that is it. It is deceitful to claim that this demonstrates a dominance of Republican views. Rather , what it shows is a reflection of the USA's population distribution.  73,736,432 Americans still voted for the Democratic candidate. In some districts the margin was less than 1%.

Ignoring 48% of the US population is folly. Arrogance and bullying is what will result in a blow out in the US midterm elections in 2 years. It has happened previously and will happen again.

The numbers for the election don't take into account all of the cheating that took place and is STILL going on in places like Arizona and California. In Arizona in a down ballot race between Kari Lake and Gallego for the Senate has Ruben Gallego winning.

It was the same paper ballot that Trump and Kari Lake were on. That doesn't not compute at all.

Imagine voting for the Trump and a few inches down on the ballot voting for a very left wing Democrat. The officials in Maricopa county must think that people are stupid.

Trump is simply waiting until all the counting is finished.

Again more nonsense. You say that there is cheating  going on in Arizona. There is no evidence to support your claim. What magical evidence do you now have? You are denying the win by the Democrat Senator elect. It is was an undisputed victory. 1,666,979 /50.1% votes v. 1,588,475/47.7% votes. 

 

Whenever something doesn't go your way, it's a fix. crooked.  Voters do split ballot and it happened in other  regions.  The Democrat is anything but  a very left wing person. 

 

Have you considered the  fact that Kari Lake alienated voters with her last false claim of voter fraud? ? She has just settled the defamation case that was filed against her by a fellow Republican, giving a defacto admission that she acted with malice. Lake had repeatedly claimed — without evidence — that Richer was responsible for 300,000 “illegal, invalid, phony or bogus” early ballots being counted in Maricopa County. She’s lost every trial and appeal in her lawsuit challenging the election results over the past two years. In March, Lake defaulted in the case, legally conceding that her claims about Richer were false, even as she continued to say the opposite in public statements. 

 

Even Kari Lake isn't making the nonsensical claim that you are as she has basically conceded  her loss stating that her race to become senator has ended. Maybe she has learnt from him multiple court losses that lying won't help her cause.

Trump will replace Wray and begin the reform of the corrupted FBI AND Kash Patel will have his support along with control of the funding. After a few get indicted for lying to congress the FBI will begin to find reform and that is the objective. FBI is rogue, weaponized by deep state control and Trump's going to dismantle the players responsible. Guaranteed, wait & see. The voters, all 76.5M gave Trump the mandate to do it and do it he will. Kash Patel is stupid like a fox....it's on, so stand aside, get outta the way or be part of the problem and get "your teeth kicked in".

Rats is right. Who cares if some weak minded Lefty leaves. They were ok when the right was censored.
