Trump says Elon Musk has agreed to lead proposed government efficiency commission as ex-president unveils new economic plans

I bet if we gave the national park system some nukes they could secure better funding!

Meanwhile the current republican plan, project 2025, involves killing the national weather service and noaa. A lot of stuff the government does without people noticing either saves average Americans’ lives, money, or both, and those departments are both.

Round here in the Midwest the nws is the difference between a tornado being a massive loss in property and a massive loss in life. And their flood alerts and severe thunderstorm alerts are critical.

But that’s just lives, let’s talk to the supreme deity of the American religion, the dollar. Farmers rely on the nws providing free and high quality forecasts to all weather providers. We’ve got geostationary weather satellites thanks to noaa’s goes project. And that high quality weather data shared across everything means farmers know when to plant and when to water. That does more than just preventing famine, it also keeps food prices as stable as it can. The fact that food prices are only now being disrupted thanks to climate change, corporate greed, and supply chain issues instead of just being unstable year to year is a miracle of our weather monitoring system.

Ah yes. But now the National Park System is squarely in the cross hairs of real estate and tourism developers. And we all know private ownership is far more efficient. They surely won't do anything to mar the natural beauty of our land.

Losing money is all Trump understands about business.

Oh, but they only get along as long as one doesn't steal the other's spotlight. They're both narcissists, and will quickly become mortal enemies as soon as that happens. Musk sees Trump as a tool to gain (even more) political power. Trump sees him as a tool to get the tech bro vote. I don't think either of them has real friends, or even fully understands the concept of friendship.

Trump worships the super rich and the fascist dictators, and is incapable of empathizing with people who feel differently.

Don't forget running Tesla into the ground!

it's pronounced Xitter

Elon Musk... Super Genius...

"Nobody needs food stamps or subsidized healthcare."

I see what you did there. Making a sly comment about him ler.

MBFC claiming CNN is Left-Center, when it is owned by conservative billionaire John Malone. This is an example of MBFC's intentional distortion of the political spectrum by falsely representing it as dominated by a left-wing bias.

An example of CNN's actual right-wing bias is when they put an obvious Trump Supporter on their recent panel of 'undecided voters'. According to Parker Molloy from The New Republic, this isn't "an isolated case of questionable representation in CNN’s voter panels. In fact, it appears to be part of a troubling pattern stretching back years." She suggests it could be "a potential willingness to mislead viewers for the sake of compelling television." - media ownership and their profit motive, and complicity of the media elite are sources of bias that MBFC does not adequately account for.
