Definitely no conflict of interest here or anything!

    Motherfuck you, AP: Musk is committing open sabotage. IT IS NOT ABOUT “COST-CUTTING.”

      No, do not fuck the AP. They have free speech, but they cannot report sensationalized headlines like that. Can you imagine the ridiculous level of shit Musk and the entire US government would drop on them? They’re already out to crush the media orgs that don’t fall in line. The AP doesn’t need to be sued for slander. Reporting the truth is their best weapon against these fascists. Let the people take it for what it is.

    I will never understand how a president can have powers to change any government agency, any aspect of life, change international policy. If one person has such powers, you then get orange cunt like tRump and all goes to shit.

      He doesn’t, really, but is doing it anyway. Congress should be acting as a check against his power grab. But they’re not, because it’s more important to them that they destroy the Administrative State than keep their Constitutional powers.

    It’s funny how many agencies he is going after that are directly related to one of his own companies.

    why give them cover with the ‘cost-cutting’ title? call it the bumble fucker team, it’s closer to the mission statement

      People are going to die. That Tesla cybertruck came with safety flaws, from breaking bones and risk of death. And that was WITH safety oversight.

      Imagine all the other flaws that were found and they had to be fixed which slowed down development, upsetting the efficiency deity or shareholders or whoever the fuck

      The next Tesla model released is going to cause deaths on release day, if that project has no safety oversight.

      I’m kind of high, so I can’t tell if my opinion is obvious or unfounded or made any sense at all.

      isnt this how cyberpunk happens big corporations seize democracy and eventually you have a terrorism charge for saying xzy Corp is shit, while everyone else is now much poorer.
