      Government Accountability Office: Am I a joke to you?

      These stupid fucks don’t even realize we already have something that does this. It’s just not as in your face since you have to actually read about it.

        This was my first thought to lol. It’s so shocking to me that people honestly don’t think there’s already some form of government agency or organization that monitors and evaluates fiscal budgetary spending and legitimacy. And then not only that, is actually applauding the creation of a new one headed by some billionaire that just happened to throw the president an ass ton of money like 48 hours ago lol.

        I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised anymore but whatever.

    He’s just gonna fire 70% of the people who work there and not pay their severance, only keep the “hardcore” ones, watch the whole system crash and burn as services come to a complete standstill and then give himself a 50 billion dollar paycheck for his “hard work”

    How to do efficiency:

    Step 1) take over corporation/government entity and fire everybody who is getting paid. Strain the rest way beyond their breaking point until they can’t deliver anymore either.

    Now you may be thinking “won’t this completely destroy the company’s ability to even function?”, and you’d be right, but that’s fine as long as you

    Step 2) blame the liberals.

    Step 3) ???

    Step 4) Profit!

      You forgot the precursor steps to step 1.

      1. Complain about government budgets/taxes/the deficit/etc

      2. Reduce/stagnate funding for critical programs

      3. Critical programs begin to fail

      4. Blame the left/liberals/socialists/communists/other boogeymen

      5. Take over government entity

        I feel like there a metaphysical bar that billionaires have to limbo under to become billionaires that is a hard cap on IQ.

        Who among the super rich isn’t on a spectrum STRICTLY ranging from “completely stupid” to “completely evil”?

        I don’t think they have literally any other personality traits at all. No friends outside of business partners or people trying to get a piece of it.

        I celebrated the deaths of Rush Limbaugh, Roger Ailes, and that one US General who caused the minor invasion of like 9 countries in South America and Asia for shits and giggles. His name escapes me, now.

        I expect I will celebrate Musk’s death as well, cheers!

    • Dude isn’t even efficient at his own jobs. Supposedly works 100 hour weeks. Can’t delegate.
    • Dude accepts government handouts for his companies. Can’t finance his own ideas or ventures.
    • Dude purchased a company as a joke and lost money/revenue streams/users/entire countries. Can’t even reduce costs while maintaining the things that make him money.
    • Dude used his most profitable venture as leverage for the joke purchase. Can’t even make a joke purchase without endangering his best known and most profitable company.

    At what point has this guy been efficient at anything but conning the government out of money and grifting genuinely smart people into working at his companies.

      I mean controlling media sure shows if you’re right about all this considering he’s supposedly on track to be the world’s first trillionaire in under a couple years - ok just over 2 years

    He’s 53?

    Damn, for having that much fucking money, he looks a fuck ton older than he could.

    I genuinely thought he was like 62 or something, had yo Google his age and yeah, still 53.

    That’s a lousy 53.

    Dude could afford to be in such good health just by hiring professionals to watch his diet and whatnot, yet he looks like someone filled a grocery store plastic bag with mac&cheese and gave it to an developmentally challenged 5-year old to make a face out of.

        Well, yes and no.

        You’re not wrong, but… I honestly know a lot of drug abusers of that age who seriously look much better than him. So it’s not only drug abuse, it’s also a shit diet and probably zero exercise.

        Sure, being the richest asshole in the world probably is a bit stressful, but I think he’s just a fucking slob, drub abuse or not.

      hiring professionals to watch his diet and whatnot,

      This is the part that is such a head-scratcher for me. He clearly cares about his outward appearance thanks to the million-dollar hair transplant and whatever meds he’s on to keep it that way. But the rest? Yeah, I thought daily personal training, custom-built menus, personal chefs, and a personal assistant to keep that circus moving, were just SOP for rich bastards like this. It would seem that impulse and lack of foresight are traits that impact everything.

      Alternatively, maybe what we’re seeing is peak performance for Musk as an organism, and his overall health is actually way worse than we think.
