You just reposted a clip that obliterated your whole argument. You're making our point for us.
Good job Tinkerbell.
Elon Musk will go down in history as an American Hero.
Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion when it was worth half that
He cut 80% of the workforce that was not doing anything useful, unwavering against angry cries.
He used the data to create xAI, which is now valued at $75 billion.
X is now sustainably profitable for the first time, raising money recently at a $44 billion valuation — but this time it’s actually worth that, and has a 25% stake in xAI.
Through his acquisition, he unseated the President of the United States of America.
He changed the lives of X creators by introducing revenue share.
Everyone laughed at him, mocked him, and attacked him for this acquisition. Look how it’s turned out so far.
Now he wants to apply this formula to the federal government, and you ****ing idiots want to murder him?
You want to kill America’s leading clean energy and technology company?
You prefer the status quo of multi trillion dollar deficits? You prefer spending more on INTEREST on the national debt than we do on national defense?
You realize that the federal government ran fine in the past without multi trillion dollar deficits right? We used to actually have a budget surplus.
How did something Democrats used to support under Obama and Clinton turn into something that makes Democrats want to start a terror campaign?
Jesus Christ, how ****ing stupid are we as a country?
This is why we can’t have nice things.
God bless the DOGE team for trying to do what’s right for our children and grandchildren in the face of so much hatred.

ELON MUSK DOING A FANTASTIC JOB UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF TRUMP
KEEP DOUBLING AND TRIPLING DOWN
MAKE THE BAD GUYS FEEL THE PAIN
I AM NOT LIKING I AM LOVING THE DISRUPTION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE
GETTING READY TO BUY AS MUCH STOCK AS CAN AS MARKET IS TRICKING THE PUBLIC TO BE AFRAID
GO MAGA AMERICA
LOL Musk is stepping down. He's quitting before he can be related to any damages. He's claiming a trillion in savings, which is a complete lie. Doge estimates 130 billion. That number has been discounted by several sources.... my oh my.
Elon Musk plans to step down from his cost-cutting role in the Trump administration at the end of May after reducing the US deficit by $1 trillion, the tech billionaire said on Thursday, according to The Fox News. Musk, 54, expressed confidence in getting close to that goal, which would halve the annual federal deficit, in just 130 days — saying his team was averaging “$4 billion a day, every day, seven days a week.”
I doubt if there is a law connected to how long Musk stays at all. Musk is doing it free and catching hell for it. It's in his best interest to back away asap.
Free my ass lol. He's been reaping billions and will be in line for tens of billions more. Free 🤣
AI Overview
A "special government employee" (SGE) is an individual retained by the executive branch to perform temporary duties for a period not exceeding 130 days during any 365-day period, whether paid or unpaid.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
- Definition:
An SGE is an officer or employee of the executive branch who is retained, designated, appointed, or employed to perform temporary duties, either on a full-time or intermittent basis, for a period not to exceed 130 days during any period of 365 consecutive days.
- Purpose:
The SGE category was created to apply a limited set of conflict-of-interest requirements to individuals providing important, but limited, service to the government.
Go ahead and tell us what hes getting free and also state what he wouldnt have gotten anyway if Trump wasnt potus.
Every government contract he requests.
Musk Is Positioned to Profit Off Billions in New Government Contracts
Musk was getting contracts anyway dpic. Come on. He is the master builder of this generation is absolutely the best entity that the government could invest money with. He actually builds what he states he will unlike any democrats who literally steal money like thieves.
A cult of science, engineering, technology, and politics of which i am a proud member.

You can't claim to be a party of science when a core principle of your party is to deny science. Like vaccines, like climate change, etc etc.
Let me give you an example: By when do you think man will land on mars? Give me the over and under.
No one denies vaccines
Climate science is a pseudo science used to steal your tax dollars.
I think man will land on mars around the year 2040 - 2045.
But even if we never make it during our lifetimes it’s a worthy goal that ALL of society can get behind.
Exploring the frontier is what Man has done since the beginning of time. Are you suggesting we stop?
No I'm suggesting your confidence in Elon Musk is ridiculous because every one should realize he's either completely stupid or a con man when hes stated his timelines on going to mars.
Elon Musk says first SpaceX mission to Mars will launch next year
The billionaire says an unmanned mission by his SpaceX "Starship" vehicle will be followed by human landings as early as 2029.

Same thing for robotaxi. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradte...anks-all-robotaxi-players-with-tesla-in-last/
His hyperloop is already DEAD. Remember how he was going to revolutionize mass transit? Yah https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/21/24011448/hyperloop-one-shut-down-layoff-closing-elon-musk
He's burning through cash, and his revenues are down. His starlink company is his most viable.
He has ambitious timelines, if that is your criticism of a man who ranks among Edison, DaVinci, Bezos, Franklin that says a lot about the man.No I'm suggesting your confidence in Elon Musk is ridiculous because every one should realize he's either completely stupid or a con man when hes stated his timelines on going to mars.

RoboTaxi works. I use it every day, it works. The only thing holding it back is government regulation. There is no doubt in my mind it works, i see it with my own two eyes every day. A little late, sure.
Hyperloop i remember him saying that someone else should do it, not that the was going to do it.
Burning through cash? Lol. Place your bets and short the stock. It's trading $263 as we speak so we can come back and reference.
I'll give you my guess. Tesla releases some bad delivery numbers tomorrow morning. You and your ilk will miss the forest for the trees and dwell on the "bad" delivery numbers instead of the reasons for the "bad" delivery numbers (change over the model new model y). In doing so, they will sell the stock off.
This will be the last major buying opportunity before the next leg up on Robotaxi, cybercab, optimus and beyond. Not financial advice, just trying to help a friend out.
He means his FSD.
But I'm confused on the pushback on Robotaxi. Is it any different from what Waymo is already doing? They already exist. Saw them in Jaguar's all over Phoenix (Tempe) when I was there recently. Weren't Tesla's but they were unmanned vehicle's people with the Waymo app could order similar to an Uber.
It's available throughout the United States, China and many other countries.
You can try it out for yourself. Just buy a Tesla and pay the $99 a month. Or go test drive one.
It different from Waymo because Waymo uses Lidar and Tesla's do not. That is not exactly accurate, Teslas use Lidar, but only when training their software. They do not use it as hardware on the car like Waymo.
This difference is a huge difference. The difference is huge, because Lidar is expensive. Tesla only uses 7 or 8 cameras, which happen to be very cheap. Their advantage is in the software.
Tesla will have a massive cost advantage over Waymo if they are successful in making robot driving more safe than human driving. Many analysts think the cost advantage is so large that it will put Waymo and possibly Uber out of business. Waymo and Uber have teemed up to try and compete against Tesla (after Tesla rebuffed Ubers offer to work together)
RoboTaxi and Cybercab are different things.
RoboTaxi in my opinion, is any tesla running the FSD software. The CyberCab will be a low cost car designed specifically to be low cost and serve as a taxi.
If anyone wants to listen to me, THE SOFTWARE ALREADY WORKS. I am telling my TI brethren this in hopes of making them money.
I can get in my car right now and arrive at my destination by only pushing one button for 2 seconds. I do not have to touch the pedals or steering wheels, at all.
The implications of this, to me, are huge. It opens up more time for productivity. Instead of driving, you can be scheduling appointments, trading stocks, doing work, resting. More productivity = More money.
Sure, every company is going to have their own version of it. And I'm sure certain companies will do better. I'm not actually arguing with you here. I'm saying Robotaxis already exist. So I'm not sure what the argument is about.
It will be 5,6,7 years before any company in the US can do what Tesla does if even then.
TSLA has first mover advantage.
I mean, if "what they can do" is automated taxis, I disagree. But I know nothing about the systems behind it, how much they cost etc, so won't say there isn't some advantage in the market.
If you like money, go test drive a Tesla with FSD as soon as you can. Or just get somone who has it to give you a ride. You will see what i am talking about. No other manufacturer is even close.
