Hey Musk, so now you've become another Deep State money grubbing jerk? I'm disappointed.

[Jane Long]

???

You mean by keeping the bots out?

We’ve noted your disappointment, and, will file it, appropriately.

😂

[ComputerGuy]

Government Efficiency? Sounds oxymoronic.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING?

[Redleg Duke]

What is it about Texas? The state has some of the best patriots…and then there are critters like you!

[piytar]

I’m not a bot. Have more licenses and certifications than I can count.

But this is not about keeping bots out. It’s about a money grab. /spit

We’re going to make the government more efficient by creating a Department of Government Efficiency, then appointing two people to lead it.

I think you nailed it.

“I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is “needed” before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents’ “interests,” I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can.” ― Barry Goldwater

The Technocracy.

Elon’s grandpa would be proud.

[Reily]

I am starting to think this will be as successful as the Grace Commission.

[piytar]

Well, we have a lot of critters here. Almost all are poisonous.

Then there are patriots like me. (Yes, I really am one.)

Last time I got stung by a tarantula hawk, three days of pain ensued. Then it died.

(I’ve been stung and bitted over 100 times. Wasps, black and brown widows, murder hornets, etc. Kinda immune now. My blood actually kills anything that bites/stings me.)

[piytar]

I don’t smoke.

Yup. You clearly get the irony...

That is an awesome quote IMHO. Thank you for posting!!!

[Redleg Duke]

So you are using venom exposure as your excuse, eh?

Whatever works, I guess. Anything to avoid the actual truth.

[DannyTN]

I for one, welcome the imminent takeover of government agencies by efficient non-partisan artificial intelligence.

[piytar]

Bitten not Bitted. Dang iPhone...

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

OMG if you THINK Elon or Vivek NEED MONEY you are living under a rock, PLEEEASE!!!
