BETCHA YOU ARE CORRECT

[Sequoyah101]

My very first thought. I hope it is not my last one.

[TigersEye]

What evil could Elon do there? Cover up government misspending? LOL

[Sequoyah101]

Because he has such an outstanding track record of having hired such stellar and trustworthy people? He is doing better but he still has a weakness for bright shiny things and flattery.

I guess when you bake a cake you've got to break a few eggs but he is going after this like a bull in a china shop. Things are on track to hurt a lot of innocent people including Citizens and piss off a lot of others.

Before this is done Musk will be a problem Trump needs to get rid of but will find that difficult. Musk is OC and doesn't have a lick of sense. Doesn't know restraint or when enough is enough or have any idea of pace and scale.

You may be able to crash stop or do evasive manouvers but there is usually collateral damage and accidents along the way.

There are things I trust to nobody without trust but verify and checks.

Wow. That one really burned. Are you always this quick witted?

[kiryandil]

I had to dial it down 30 or 40 IQ points so's you could understand, bigd*ldo45.

I don’t understand how someone without any legal authorization is just being given control over treasury payment systems.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

Elon is also a provable sociopath and con-man who randomly punishes people on Twitter, such as taking their blue checks and exosing their private DMSs, for the crime of.... accurately stating that Elon cheats at video games? (Which Elon the 50 year old manchild, after months of claiming to be one of the best gamers in the world like it matters, randomly admits to cheating on the grounds that... all the top gamers cheat?)

Why are we letting someone who is so clearly mentally ill have access to our payment systems?

[Dat]

You guys are so screwed. “Stable genius” indeed.

I understood immediately that Greta's_Puny_Human was going to have a problem with anything that Elon Musk did...

[kiryandil]

Still smarting from the nuclear wedgie that The Trump just gave you and your Justine Trudeau, eh, Dat?

[Dat]

Enjoy licking the boot of your new god. When it blows up in your face, I hope you remember all the people who told you it would happen.

[kiryandil]

Enjoy licking the boot of your new god.

A zeeper AND a NeverTrumper.

Justine Turdeau dropped a live one when he squeezed you out in the loo...

It's telling how there are far more Zeepers among the TDS crowd than non-Zeepers. I guess they're extremely pissed off that Trump's ending their Yook, gay-dancing, running-around-naked-in grocery-stores-in-front-of-children, greasy, pervert "hero" soon. Zeepers are crazily obsessed with and in most cases personally invested in the little finook and the corrupt sh*thole he presides over.

I believe a good number of them are Yooks being paid to beat the pro-Yook, RuZZia! RuZZia! RuZZia! drum on forums and other social media across the internet for their leftist/globalist masters.The majority of the rest are ancient Cold "Warriors" who still think it's 1977.

I mean look how utterly obsessed and crazy USA-FROGLAND and Quackie Canuckster are. Then there are others with little Yook, but not American, flags in their taglines. Good little globalist/neocon piggies they are!

[piasa]

Don’t worry... the OMP has already been hacked in the past, probably by the Chinese.

[JonPreston]

Can you imagine these leftist Canadian freaks having demands?

In a month, Dat and his husband will be screaming for The Trump to stop

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Why are we letting someone who is so clearly mentally ill have access to our payment systems?

You're one of those people who hold Democrats to no standards at all, but demand Sainthood from non-Democrats, aren't ya?

[Albion Wilde]

the little finook

Bwahahaha! You're makin' me homesick for South Philly!

That’s a good thing. I’m hoping they’ll accidently deposit a few hundred K to my account.
