    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!

      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, the EV market is fine, just Tesla sales which have dropped some, lowering numbers for the total EV market. Sales continue to be strong for other EV manufacturers, just one brand slowing down for some strange reason… Almost like someone has started to alienate their core customer base…

          Yeah, I’m actively shopping for an EV and Tesla is not on the list. Not just because of Elmo though. I need physical buttons for the AC and radio and I like my cars to be pretty. But Elmo is definitely another reason why I’m not even looking at a Tesla.

        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”

    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?

    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…

      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.

    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.

    Nothing says “efficiency” like a racist, drug addicted manchild with untreated ADHD who never sleeps.

    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…
