Musk is now my favorite African American.

Oh and this.

Trump needed to ax 70% of the D.C. power structure and Deep State pawns. CLEAN HOUSE.

That’s what Elon has to do as well.

You don't really think it works the same do you?

How is this something for ESPN to be reporting on? Have they branched out from sports and left-wing social commentary?

“But Musk won’t do what Trump did. Trump left all the lower level people still there.

Trump needed to ax 70% of the D.C. power structure and Deep State pawns. CLEAN HOUSE.”

Trump won’t make that mistake this next time around (2024). He’s got revenge on his mind.

The left is having a meltdown because they’ve lost ONE of their propaganda machines. They have a lot of others. Almost all the print papers, all the broadcast networks, most of Youtube, Google, Bing, Facebook and Tiktok.

Twitter is going to allow most free speech rather than blocking it, and the left is losing its marbles.

Do you think televised sports is something other than left-wing social influencing?

He’ll probably fire 90% except for the top 5% in ads, 10% in business marketing, 15% in coding

He brought in coders from Tesla and locked all of Twitter's out.

Knowing what I know about Musk, he will use merit as top criteria to hire. You do not become world’s richest person by ignoring merit.

I saw a video of him discussing hiring people in an interview about staffing and employees - he will have no issues of who he selects....more than capable he could certainly give lessons.

“He is quick to work on operational control too...locked out the Twit(ter) software engineers and brought in Tesla software people:”

He has a lot of REAL World software engineers working for him at Tesla and SpaceX. They have to get thing right or they don't work.
