He definitely failed at that. It's worse now than ever.

Yes, he's doing exceptionally well at that.

So who will audit Musk's contracts with the government in order to check if it's not overpriced? 😆

It's a good point. Thing is Trump ran on changing this trough feeding Democrat's corruption and the voters agreed and voted him in. Now the huge waste of tax payer's money is being uncovered. Do you think this is a bad thing? Try answering with a rational and logical answer not just more anti-Trump the " syndrome that cannot be named" response. BTW best not to talk about donations though. The list of donators aka billionaires/millionaires for Harris was quite extensive.

 

If you follow my posts, you will know that I don't think something is bad just because Trump does it or good because the DEMs want it.

Saving money is obviously good. Exposing corruption is good. When I initially heard Musk will do this, months ago, I though it is a good idea to have an outsider looking into this.

But now it seems to me Musk is a lot more than just looking. It seems he is personally shutting down whole government agencies. And he has full access to sensitive personal data. Is that necessary?

I would have thought he can watch while others work and maybe after a month tell us what he found.

Now it seems what he does is destructive - before first looking at the details.

 

As I wrote already above about donations and politicians and corruption. It seems almost all politicians from all political parties are happy to receive huge donations from companies. As far as I know there are only few politicians, like i.e. Bernie Sanders, who does not accept such donations.

Why? Political donations aka lobbying is part and parcel of the flawed American political system.

FBI investigators are also part and parcel of the American system (flawed or otherwise) but some of them were on a list and some of them were fired.

Hell has no fury like a trump crossed

And the majority of Americans according to the way they voted on Trump's policies want this. It's a clean up and a change in ideology. As an example what sane person for instance thinks it's fair for a biological man to compete against women in women's only sports. People get banned, some for life, for taking performance enhancing drugs but being a biological male competing against biological women is ok though. That's simply insane.

Remember that we couldn't say covid came from the Wuhan lab on here. This was Biden. Which version of free speech would you prefer?

Things are changing hopefully. Slowly is the problem. Still can't say on here what is widely said across the net in response to the anti-Trumper's having what I now have to call "the syndrome that cannot be named".

Twitter is just a steaming garbage pile of hate, disinformation, and false conspiracies. He can do whatever he wants with it. Tosser is what tosser does.

What's Twitter? Always good to see an example of the ignorant MSM brainwashed left. Of course something like The View isn't disinformation and hate.

It was. But Musk bought it, remember? There was much wailing here, fainting couches were required en masse. It would go bust in a few weeks we learned. 

Content unfavorable to democrats is no longer censored. Leftist guff gets quickly corrected or community noted, unlike before. All round a massive improvement. Disney and other woke companies agree and all crawled back with their tails between their legs. Nice.

Nope. They're doing EXACTLY the opposite. Shutting down and dismantling government agencies and departments, and THEN trying to find waste. Like, WTF??

<50% is NOT a majority. Not a mandate. Not a landslide. Not "overwhelming support" for the policies of Mar-a-Lardo.

This is what the minority MAGATS voted for? PER NYT reporting. He claims it puts an unfair restraint on AmeriKKKan business interests.

 

Trump Pauses Enforcement of Law Banning Foreign Bribery

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act makes it illegal for companies that operate in the United States to pay foreign government officials to secure or keep business deals.
