Why Elon Musk Gets Picked On

 

Huh. Where to start?

Musk alleges that another billionaire is handing out checks so that people will protest his and boycott his businesses. Because when you and your little DOGE gremlins are cutting aid to starving kids, Meals on Wheels, costing thousands of people their livelihoods and prancing about with a little chainsaw because BRRRR CUTTING GOOD!, people need a monetary reason to make them mad--right?

This is the kind of bullshit you get when your mama tells you the reason the other kids are picking on you is because they are just so jealous because they are dumb poors and not as bright and handsome as mommy's little man. 

TrumpWorld is Riding Until the Wheels Come Off

 

Just so we are clear, when the GOP hit the TrumpWorld Trifecta--they motioned to keep riding the 2025/47 Agenda until the wheels came off. Apparently, though, the vehicle they have chosen is a Cybertruck, so the wheels will come off sooner rather than later.  (Panels, also, too!)  

Best of luck to the State Department on that Tesla contract. Ride in the best of health and luck, which you will need. 

Yes, I am comparing TrumpWorld right now to the Swasticar, 

Musk has fouled the brand of the companies he acquired because of being a wealthy dumbass, not founded because he's not actually what he represents himself as. I don't know why his Frankendick still gets ridden like it is. But it's clearly made up of dead to the game actual founders, who took Elon's money and decided they were good with him doing his thing to their brands.

So, a funny/not funny thing happened in Colorado, where conservatives made up a thing where Venezuelan gangs were taking up whole blocks of apartments. Which meant of course, if that were true, the first place ICE would have to raid would be those occupied dangerous gang apartment scary no-go zones, right?

Right?

Well, they did! And SOMEHOW, everyone and their mother found out about it, and the op was even delayed for a bit? (Even though ICE raids are basically, just like, Tuesday, even during the Biden Administration.) But then they did the thing, with hundreds of guys. Like, a whole multi-agency thing. 

Anyway, I guess everything was very disappointing for the Trump Administration, because maybe there weren't as many arrests as they hoped? So they sacked the experienced acting head of ICE. People figuring out there would be a stepped-up ICE presence out there was definitely the result of "leaks". And Kristi Noem is ready to get out the polygraph tests to sniff out the real problem in why deportation preparations have broken down, promising to get you and your little dog too if you were a DHS employee responsible for leaking. (I may have made that last bit up.)

Doesn't Anyone Have a Price?

 

This one is just for the slow kids: the thing where Elon Musk supposedly doesn't have a price? I'm skeptical because why did this guy get "so rich"? What are his goals? What does he love?

One metric of stupidity is the lack of imagination. Stealing jokes or posts to get laughs is a sign of not being creative or imaginative. Carrying a sink to meme-ishly say "Let that sink in" is way dumber than anything Carrottop or Gallagher does, for example.  Even if you respect their brand of comedy--it's weak. Doing a chainsaw thing like Javier Milei is sort of clownish. 

All kinds of people are losing their jobs under this indiscriminate and dumbass regime. Dedicated public servants, veterans. Look--he might know something about cars or rockets or social media (He doesn't! That's the joke!) but clearly, he is supposedly sharp enough to pass a US citizenship test (also no!). 

Stupid people with money do stupid things with their money all of the time. Don't assume because Musk has billions he is SATISFIED with his life.

You Bet Your Sweet FAA?

 

So, let me just express what I will consider my "conservative" reservations about the DOGE team "plugging in" to "upgrade our aviation system." I just don't know that a team of even extremely bright and committed young people, running on high optimism and little sleep, are going to do miracles sorting out air traffic control--especially if they approach this with a "move fast break stuff ethos."

I might be catastrophizing, but I worry that the guy who promised us driverless cars is thinking of something like air traffic control--without controllers.

Call me "analog"--a throwback. I believe in the human element.  I believe in lived experiences mattering for something. When I see something like this, I do think of what can go wrong, that an experienced knowledgeable expert in a given field, might think about, that even a very talented novice will not.
