    Nothing says Government Efficiency like making a BRAND NEW DEPARTMENT with MILLIONS of Taxpayer Dollars!

      Government Accountability Office: Am I a joke to you?

      These stupid fucks don’t even realize we already have something that does this. It’s just not as in your face since you have to actually read about it.

        This was my first thought to lol. It’s so shocking to me that people honestly don’t think there’s already some form of government agency or organization that monitors and evaluates fiscal budgetary spending and legitimacy. And then not only that, is actually applauding the creation of a new one headed by some billionaire that just happened to throw the president an ass ton of money like 48 hours ago lol.

        I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised anymore but whatever.

        I celebrated the deaths of Rush Limbaugh, Roger Ailes, and that one US General who caused the minor invasion of like 9 countries in South America and Asia for shits and giggles. His name escapes me, now.

        I expect I will celebrate Musk’s death as well, cheers!

    LeI’m n is so desperate for power, ugh. Those two fucknuts working together is another excellent reason to make sure DT does not take office. How horrible too, a vaguely defined department of “efficiency “? From the idiot who goes around on his production floor doing shit like “why does the driver go backwards twice before going forwards? Eliminate that step” (it prevents cross threading, but Leon doesn’t know that).

    People are so bad at punctuation now. Idiots like this just perpetuate it. Where’s the last period on your acronym? It’s even more cringe as a result.

    He’s just gonna fire 70% of the people who work there and not pay their severance, only keep the “hardcore” ones, watch the whole system crash and burn as services come to a complete standstill and then give himself a 50 billion dollar paycheck for his “hard work”

    Douche Of Gargantuan Enormity

    I like how the E in the shitbag AI photo has no period.

    To his credit, I have never seen anyone destroy a company and its reputation as efficiently as he trashed Twitter.

        Is an inflated sense of self importance a symptom of autism? Of course there is also the “I have lots of money therefore whatever I think is by default true” which I would not associate with autism but more with second generation billionaires who manage to convince themselves that their success is solely a result of their skills and competence.

        He embraced that concept in the same way a lot of people do, as a perceived superpower of being smart. Note he particularly claimed to have Asperger’s nearly a decade after the DSM removed it as a distinct diagnosis. People flocked to Asperger’s as a self diagnosis of “Autism light, I’m an asshole, but it’s ok because I have a condition, but I don’t have any real downsides because it’s not ‘full’ Autism”.

        Now with it gone as an official diagnosis, people still embrace high functioning autistic as some sort of badge of honor/superpower and explanation for why they can be assholes. So you continue to have ton of people self-diagnosing to rationalize a more comfortable, lazy interaction with the world. “neurodivergent” is cool because it has the word “divergent” in it, and who would be so lame as to be “neurotypical”, which is used almost as a slur among folks eager to self-diagnose autism.

        In short, I’m not particularly inclined to put much stock in anyone’s self-proclamation of autistic. I’ve seen people struggling with it for real and I frankly find it a bit offensive how a lot of internet people have flocked to bragging about their “autism” given how much struggle people have with the condition.

    Imagine being hyped that your chosen candidate literally lets you buy a government agency to run. Pathetic.
