Elon Musk nonsense aside, a Department for Government Efficiency is honestly not a bad idea. Apparently, the military is tremendously wasteful, as are most other government departments. This could genuinely save some taxpayer money and free up funds for good things.

Ah yes Elon Musk the Joseph Goebbels of a trump administration

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.

qantravon ,

Every one of those companies would probably be doing better without his involvement, so that might be a positive for them…

🤣🤦‍♂️

On the one hand, government jobs are known to be very cushy compared to industry where the harsh realities of late-stage capitalism are in full swing. On the other hand, Elon is in no position to fix the government inefficiency problem. He would call for some ridiculously stupid and uninformed decisions to be made based upon his business ethos of nuking (potentially important) things and starting from scratch.

SeaJ ,

His idea of efficiency is having his employees work 60-80 hours a week and firing people that don’t. That does not work with government jobs which are often unionized.

Great. So the Gov’t will have a quarter of its current value.

PineRune ,

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.

credo ,

“Value” is not a term reserved for financial discussions. Don’t ruin the joke.

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!

Aurenkin ,

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.

skysurfer ,

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…

madjo ,

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.

He’s totally going to fire every single federal employee and then complain that he can’t renew his passport.

Then he is going to scream that if public servants are not at their offices 95 hours a week they are not committed to the cause then when he finds out they have a union he will be triggered and forced to go into a quiet room so he can cry about how the big mean workers want him to fail.

runjun ,

Good luck with that. A good portion of us are unionized.

Twitter: 📉💥🔥🔥🔥

Trump: “perfect resumé Elon, now let’s finish off America for our beloved Pootie”

If this actually happens, it will be a shit show of epic proportions.

I think it’s going to be a spectacular year for employment lawyers.
