Because Musk did such a good job with that at Twitter… “I don’t understand what it is you do, you’re fired.”
Claiming to be able to make massive cuts without cutting national defense, Social Security/Medicare, or loads of basic government stuff (like the U.S. Mint, patent office, passport services, etc.) is how you know this will never happen.
Every conservative comes to Washington ready to cut whole departments and then learns the Department of Energy manages the nuclear weapons stockpile and the entire National Park system is a rounding error on a B-2 bomber order.
I bet if we gave the national park system some nukes they could secure better funding!
Fuck man considering park rangers basically live in the middle of nowhere on minimum wage? Fuck it give em some nukes and let’s see what happens.
Nobody will be trying to take selfies with bison anymore, that’s for sure.
This just in park rangers nuke city, reasoning “fuck off”.
Meanwhile the current republican plan, project 2025, involves killing the national weather service and noaa. A lot of stuff the government does without people noticing either saves average Americans’ lives, money, or both, and those departments are both.
Round here in the Midwest the nws is the difference between a tornado being a massive loss in property and a massive loss in life. And their flood alerts and severe thunderstorm alerts are critical.
But that’s just lives, let’s talk to the supreme deity of the American religion, the dollar. Farmers rely on the nws providing free and high quality forecasts to all weather providers. We’ve got geostationary weather satellites thanks to noaa’s goes project. And that high quality weather data shared across everything means farmers know when to plant and when to water. That does more than just preventing famine, it also keeps food prices as stable as it can. The fact that food prices are only now being disrupted thanks to climate change, corporate greed, and supply chain issues instead of just being unstable year to year is a miracle of our weather monitoring system.
Ah yes. But now the National Park System is squarely in the cross hairs of real estate and tourism developers. And we all know private ownership is far more efficient. They surely won’t do anything to mar the natural beauty of our land.

How to efficiently lose 44b ?
Really, it’s been quite messy and drawn out. You can’t even give him credit for efficiently losing $44B.
But it sure was effective!
Losing money is all Trump understands about business.
Elon is a drug addict who is high on ketamine all day long and has never worked a day in his worthless life. No wonder he and Donnie get along.
Oh, but they only get along as long as one doesn’t steal the other’s spotlight. They’re both narcissists, and will quickly become mortal enemies as soon as that happens. Musk sees Trump as a tool to gain (even more) political power. Trump sees him as a tool to get the tech bro vote. I don’t think either of them has real friends, or even fully understands the concept of friendship.
Trump just doesn’t realize everyone hates the assholes he’s trying to trot out as a positive to his shitty campaign. They really need to stop letting him make his own decisions.
“Hey guys, I bet you’re all excited for our musical guest, so without further ado…NICKELBACK!!!”
Yeah, why use Nickelback when Kid Rock is right there licking his boot.
Trump worships the super rich and the fascist dictators, and is incapable of empathizing with people who feel differently.
I don’t think even Trump would stoop so low as to play a Nickelback song.
Nickleback would probabaly be happy they’re getting played again.
Apparently not, according to the sibling reply to yours!
Aka, the Nickleback joke ruiner.
After the Conspiratorial Photograph Episode (ft. Kristy Swanson and Novoselic), I’m not so sure
Amusingly enough, Trump is so bad that even Nickelback don’t want him playing their songs.
Elon: Running Twitter into the ground Trump: He’s doing a good job I guess Trump would know because he’s the master of running businesses into the ground O_o
Don’t forget running Tesla into the ground!
Please use more punctuation.
Has Musk actually worked a day in his life? He obviously hasn’t been working for some years now, spending all of his time shitposting and propagandizing on Twitter instead of running the multiple companies he is somehow CEO of.
“Agreed to fork over $50 million per month until trump gets annoyed at the smallest slight or misunderstanding and fires him by tweet when he’s in the shitter.”
it’s pronounced Xitter
6 months ago I made a ridiculous joke about Trump giving Musk Texas.
This is literally worse than I could possibly imagine.
His voter base is convinced Musk is a super genius. They’ll see this as a brilliant move.
Elon Musk… Super Genius…
Maybe he’ll run the government to the ground like he’s doing to X.
The type to vote Trump would probably get wet at the idea.
Well, yeah, they all think they are John J Rambo and armed to the teeth ready for anything…until the diabetes medication runs out.
Everybody gangsta until the welfare cheque stops showing up.
I recently watched a small-time documentary by a YouTube person on life in the ruralest parts of Appalachia. Deep red places. He talked with multiple locals who estimated that something like 50% of them got by on “checks”, which is their euphemism for welfare when they’re the ones receiving it (mostly SSDI).
It was sad but interesting.
You don’t understand, they’re against the lazy ones getting welfare not the ones who are hard workers but haven’t been able to find work for ten years.
They’re against the brown ones geting welfare. FTFY
It’s amazing how they can take American’s jobs but also be lazy welfare queens.
This is PROOF that Trump CANT be Bought!
Placing a billionaire to lead government cuts. What can go wrong?
“Nobody needs food stamps or subsidized healthcare.”
“Food stamps? Why don’t they just go to their fridge for food?”
Did not see that coming
I see what you did there. Making a sly comment about him ler.
And Frankly I’m sure it will all work out fine
Sounds like a good way to ensure it’s neither efficient or economic. I’ve come to expect nothing less from Trump’s policy suggestions.
