More than 80 hours per week??????? I gotta be honest though. Whoever sends a job application to the fucking 'DOGE' deserves to wither away working 120 hours per week sucking sucking Elon's toes

    We don't need more part-time idea generators.

    With Musk and Ramasway, how many more do you need?

    Odds that musk annoyed Trump and that he let him do this to get him to shut up? Doesn’t seem unlikely tbh

    We need more austerity! It’s always the answer!

    Creates a whole new department in the government for austerity when Congress can just unilaterally cut everything besides military and corporate subsidies

      Now now, you'd have to be more clever with it. Or not even propose austerity per-se. Talk about cutting bloat and streamlining processes, privatizing things and creating a shit-ton of public-private partnerships, maybe throw in a bit of AI hype or talk about "national defense" and industrial interests while winking and nudging towards whatever grift is the flavor of the season.

      Maybe we should get a job at "@Doge," we're overqualified lol

    I mean, how well are they paying? If it's a govt job(???) or for a thinktank the money should be expected to be good right(?)

    Who wants to speedrun destroying the US empire? /jk

    Reminds me of the time when I helped my friend edit and add to their MBA paper. Literally was on AI, "helped" them add in things like references to "industry 4.0," "public-private parnerships" etc lol... they aced it fwiw

    Lmao Elon works literally 0 hours per week, he spends all day tweeting about the jewish question, sexually harassing interns, making an absolute fool of himself at Trump rallies and playing Elden Ring like your senile grandma would. If you sign up for this shit, you deserve everything these clowns make you do.

      How can you spread such horrible lies about the savior of humanity?angery

      Elon is mostly playing Diablo 4 like my senile grandma would, these days

      Musk seemingly shared the three-minute clip to show off his gaming skills — but ended up giving viewers a hair-raising account of what sounds like a near-catastrophe at his space company.

      "We had a misconfigured stem gas support that didn't have quite the right ramp-up time for bringing up stem pressure, and we were one second away from that tripping and telling the rocket to abort and try to crash into the ground next to the tower," the engineer told Musk.

      "Wow," Musk says, while pulverizing evil skeletons onscreen. "Yikes."

      Executive orders, majority in both houses of Congress, completely compromised court, and willingness to ignore nonbinding norms. Ya know, wielding power.

      If this is anything like the “ousting waste” stunts the Republicans were pulling during the Tea Party era, they’ll be focusing on shit like “here’s a $500,000 grant to study a species of microscopic shrimp that only lives in the Pacific Northwest! How wasted!”
