    I’m not a scientist or politician or wizard or anything, but I bet Elon will manage to scrape up some products and services to help the USA with future warfare; very expensive products.

    I have a feeling that we will pay for those products and services for many decades with the help of Vanguard and JP Morgan Chase, and that we will appoint their staff to the Fed to control our monetary policy.

    I predict that those products and services will be unsatisfactory

    Does this mean that the future of warfare is Ketamine benders and “Roman” salutes?

    Where have we seen this before…

    Pete faked benching like 300 pounds or something with some enlisted people. The weights were not normal but like ten pounders made to look like the big ones.

    Pete Hegseth, is a pussy bitch. Pass it on.

    Yeah, being a CEO is clearly not the full-time job that requires marathon-level endurance that the Acela class likes to paint it as.

      He’s the CEO of five companies. If he really works 100 hours a week like he says (and maybe ketamine does make that possible), that means being a CEO is at best a part-time job.

        Yup. 100%. People have been saying for decades that being a CEO (often expanded out to CxOs, too) is like being some kind of super-star athlete and that people in those positions get paid many many many multiples of the average wage of employees they oversee because they are just operating next level and work so fucking hard and so many hours, too.

        Virtually every time Elon hits the news we are all reminded in quite stark terms what complete bullshit that narrative was.

      Somehow Musk has time to shitpost on Twitter for hours, run the US military and be the CEO of like 5 companies. Guess he saves a lot of time by not spending any time with his children.

      It’s always been about returning to the indentured servitude and elite wealthy man controlled world that was temporarily interrupted with an experiment in civil rights, workers rights, women’s rights, etc.

      They figured out all they had to do was pause progress in the economic sector for all the minority groups that benefited from those movements, and drastically and continually increase the funneling of resources and profits into the hands of the one group that used to control and own it all, making it only a matter of time until we returned to the good old days.

    A year after his explosive tenure at Doge, the SpaceX CEO is back in the Trump administration’s good graces

    Elon is the one with power and Trump is conceding to this fact.

    Because appointing him head of DOGE was so successful… This is the absolutely dumbest fucking timeline possible.

          Well I don’t think he was carrying the kid around to stop the bullets per se, more to deter anyone from shooting him in front of his innocent kid. Like he was kinda trying to guilt trip any potential assassins. Elon is not the brightest.

    The guy who claimed Stealth was obsolete because of lider + AI.

    Yup, he forgot clouds exist and will now be predicting future military tech. I’m sure this will go brilliantly.

    … thus proving he is both equally, and exponentially dumber than himself.
