Elon Musk took to his social media site on Friday to decry New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s pick to lead the city’s fire department, claiming that she couldn’t do the job. The commissioner-to-be, Lillian Bonsignore, is a 31-year FDNY veteran who led the department’s emergency medical services during the Covid-19 pandemic. She will be the second woman to hold the position and the first openly gay person to lead the department.
That was enough for Musk to weigh in. “People will die because of this,” he wrote, adding, “Proven experience matters when lives are at stake.”
As Gothamist reported, before her retirement in 2022, Bonsignore was both the highest-ranking uniformed woman in FDNY history and the first woman to achieve a four-star rank. At the press conference announcing her appointment, Mamdani praised Bonsignore, saying that “her record speaks for itself,” before detailing her career in the city that spanned from before 9/11 through the worst of the pandemic.
Musk is the richest person on the planet and a rabid opponent of diversity, equity, and inclusion measures, or DEI. He appeared to be claiming that the new head of the FDNY was a diversity hire. He’s written: “Time for DEI to DIE,” “DEI has caused people to DIE,” “DEI is a Civil Rights Act violation,” “DEI kills art,” “DEI puts the lives of your loved ones at risk,” and “DEI is just another word for racism,” amongst his other previous observations about these efforts.
Do we really need an illegal immigrant telling us how to run the country?
Why is Musk’s opinion on the FDNY “news”?
My thoughts exactly.
Yeah how would he know anything about this? He doesn’t live Anywhere near there. No one is asking him
He also doesn’t know anything about “qualifications”. He dropped out of school and won the dotcom capitalism lottery so now he thinks school and qualifications are for chumps. He hired teenagers to purge the federal government. He’s the last person anyone should listen to complain about “qualifications”.
Says the man who can’t get a car door to reliably open, burning people alive in minor collisions. Meanwhile, EMS trains to open those doors and save lives. STFU, musk.
he wrote, adding, “Proven experience matters when lives are at stake.”
Which is exactly the reason a 31-year veteran with experience got that job. I’m constantly impressed how Musk manages to always phrase his bullshit in a way that makes crystal clear it’s nothing but insane ramblings.
I only just realised that she’s not 31 years old.
He literally hired teenagers when lives were at stake.
Elon, and fuckers like him, are a major driving source of human misery. Both because of the wealth hording and politics that wealth hording necessitates, but also because he probably speaks to people and imagine how awful having to talk to that absolute garbage dump of a person would be.
Even in his most intimate interpersonal interactions, he probably mostly speaks at people like he’s on social media.
Elon Musk isn’t qualified to lead a hot dog stand. And yet here we are.
his hot dog got mangled by a “surgeon”.
Do we really need to be aware of every one of this idiot’s stupid fucking opinions in real-time? Holy fuck.
She’s a woman. Small dicks are scared of smart women.
i have a small penis and I am not scared of smart women. please stop associating penis size with mysogyny
edit: Ill tone it down since I was groggy as shit this morning: damn us tiny peeners catchin strays
You may have a small penis but you don’t sound like you’re a small dick.
well elons dick is probably mangled from a surgery, probably no-dick, or a stump or close to it.
Maybe he went to Thailand for one of those embihgening ‘procedurea’? I hear they don’t go so well. Maybe that’s why he has a complex with the country.
Elon’s name should always be followed with his title, Biggest Welfare Queen in the World.
Back in 1995, the FDNY did a hostile takeover of EMS.
EMS had originally been under the NYC Health and Hospitals Corporation, a city agency that oversees the public hospitals. In 1993, HHC funded an independent study to see what the best way to move forward was. The consultants looked at all the options, including moving EMS to police or fire supervision, ro making it an independent service. They decided that the best course was to keep EMS under HHC, but give it $3 million to upgrade.
At about that time, FD decided they wanted to study taking over EMS. The City Council voted them $5 million to do a test where FDNY responded to EMS calls in one borough. Even though the New York State agency in charge of licensing paramedics said FD had failed, the City decided the test was a great success. FD got control of EMS.
Pretty much the day FD took over, old time EMS people started leaving. Some retired, and others went to other civil service jobs.
Only one Fire Chief bothered to take an ride-alongs with EMS. Most never stuck their nose into an EMS station.
Elon Musk says a lot of dumb untrue shit. Why is anyone even paying attention to what he says anymore?
Because everyone feels it appropriate to post the bond villain’s every word. I wish I didn’t need to hear it. I wish his arrest warrants were written and acted upon.
Elon Musk is not qualified to open his own damn mouth on any topic of authority.
From the article:
Musk is the richest person on the planet and a rabid opponent of diversity, equity, and inclusion measures, or DEI.
Let’s call it what it is and stop sugar coating this white supremacist asshole. He’s a racist piece if shit and has been given the massive bullhorn that was Twitter to spout his racist bullshit because the assholes who own Tesla stock keep giving him more money. Good people meed to fully cancel not only Tesla but SpaceX and any other company he is at the head of.
I don’t care that Tesla has created innovative cars. They can be made by other companies just as easily. I don’t care that SpaceX has innovative rockets. The technology exists it can exist again someplace else. This asshole needs to be canceled so hard that he can never come back again. The next non-conservative person who runs for president needs to run on a platform of ending any governmental relationship with Elon Musk, permanently.
Fuck you Elon, you cheese doodle. No one asked you. Go crash another rocket, or estrange your latest crotch goblin.
