Let's talk about Elon Musk

[chum1]

Plus, deciding how much the government spends doesn't even fall under the purview of the executive branch in the first place. This is why it sucks to have such dumb people in charge.

What does the constitution say about access to the treasury payment system exactly?

messing with funds that have been allocated by congress is a pretty big one

Should be easy to challenge on legal grounds then

Who is going to enforce it?

Congress can do that

68 senators are ok with it, so I would agree that a 2/3rds majority needed to remove the president is unlikely.

I'm sorry but Elon Musk is just very dumb

The longer Elon spends time on things outside of his businesses the more allies Elon loses. I suspect his most ardent supporters are more entrenched by this, but it makes it increasingly difficult for people like me, who value the entrepreneurial approach that he brings to technical and defense related challenges.

Elon being anywhere near domestic policies (or even international politics) displeases me. I do not approve of it and I do not like it.

I don't need anymore reason to hate him but he keeps giving those who are on the sidelines more reason to hate him. This isn't just a hope but I really do think Tesla as a car company maybe done for. Essentially alienating the core of your business is not exactly the way to go about it. And then hoping bootlickers will backfill those exiting, in an electric car company, is a bold gamble on.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

As long as Trump says he's good, he's good. As long as he keeps giving money to Trump, Trump will say he's good.

you either die a Jobs or you live long enough to see yourself become the Musk

I’m in Oversight Committee right now. Ranking Member Connolly just called for a vote to subpoena Elon Musk. Republicans out-number us on this committee, but many aren’t in the room. We’ll see who wins this vote. We deserve transparency and answers.

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.

I'm not sure what is more fascinating. We've said it a million times that its pretty amazing that a draft dodging, wife cheating, suit wearing, born on third NY billionaire took over the "conservative" party, but its almost equally fascinating that a South African, California EV, climate change believing Lib was able to get to equal conservative cult status. R's just love to lick boots I guess.

These days, we should probably just say authoritarianism versus fascism or else we’ll get ground into the dirt in some sort of wonky conversation about whether it’s originating from the left or the right.

The richest man on Earth being greedy and wanting to enrich himself is not surprising. The skills needed to amass an unfathomable fortune also doesn't really suggest he would be good at governing in a fair, just, or democratic manner.

I intentionally said fascism because it is specific to the right and accurately describes what is happening in this country.

Completely agree. I wouldn’t of trusted Andrew Carnegie or the Rockefellers for example

Yeah, I acknowledge that you know what’s what. I was just preemptively, trying to shut down the peanut gallery on your behalf
