    This fucker would look at the DMV and fire 90% of the staff to improve efficiency. Also it’s now called DMX.

      Brilliant 😊. And you know people would support it cause going to the DMV sucks until there isn’t one to go to anymore and you live the alternative.

      Quite a few places already don’t call it the DMV. It’s called the DDS here. Department of Driver Services.

    That these cretins are still clinging to their fucking Matrix / red pill metaphor like a decade after the Wachowskis came out as trans should tell you everything you need to know about how much internal sense any of their ideas make.

    I’ve been saying for a while that the giant covid bailouts for businesses are exactly what will happen if trump is re-elected. He’s so afraid of not being able to say “best economy ever” he’ll drive up inflation to make failing megacorps slightly more profitable to shareholders insatiable greed.

    If you think house prices are unaffordable now, consider how much extra money rich people will throw around after another round of tax cuts for themselves.

    Conservative policies in any dimension of society are hostile to great swaths of the population affected by them.

    The only reason people support conservatives is because of culture war bullshit, which is used to brainwash them by constantly making them afraid of each other.

    No one sensible should be voting conservative under a late-stage capitalism scenario, which is where we are

    “We deregulated. The economy went down. The Matrix meddled, yet again!”

    You can’t win with these idiots. They could put their dick in a blender and still blame a feminist activist they’d never met.

    When he says ‘the matrix’, he means ‘the interests of the average worker’.

    Remember, this is the same guy trying to sue to the National Labor Relations Board out of existence, because things like workplace safety and overtime pay and not having racist workplaces are inefficient.

    Also… fucking what, he talked with Trump about how to reduce the national debt?

    Ok 1, thats almost certainly just going to translate into auesterity, ie, dovetailing with Project 2025 to gut a whole bunch of government agencies…

    2… Trump has expanded the national debt more than any other President in history, and is so astoundingly economically incompetent he wants to remove all (?) taxes and replace this with a 20% across the board import tariff, which would basically detonate the economy.

      This is a guy who was willing to compromise workplace safety simply because he doesn’t like high vis colors. Who fired an entire department that was in the middle of work that’s critical to the future of the company, simply because he was upset that their boss tried to argue that they shouldn’t gut the team arbitrarily.

      Efficiency I can understand, it’s a rational priority to pursue. Elon is a mentally unstable weirdo who either doesn’t care how much damage he does to the business, or is so disconnected from reality that he can’t really understand what he’s doing.

      He’s not just a typical corporate scumbag doing greedy things. He’s basically an aspiring Bioshock villain. If he was half as competing as he thinks he is, he’d be ruling a dystopian nightmare city on Mars by now.

    “I wish you could go into Washington for a week and be the head of the committee for making government smaller,” Fridman said.

    Ah a small government guy, I see.
