Genius move making friends with a hate sponge like him. Media was constantly talking about elon, meanwhile he signed like a hundred kill all browns orders
I will never claim he's playing 3d chess but this was monumental, however you wanna see it

As much of a spazz as he is, I gotta admit I'm a little jealous of the fun he's having getting high off his tits and indiscriminately destroying the US government

The lulz is that his position means he is super easy to find in contempt of court and as it would be civil contempt it's not pardonable.
The Institute of Education Sciences he got done gutting yesterday isn't an executive administered agency and I'm looking forward to the lawsuits on that one, congress created as independent. Trump also can't fire the director.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/20/chapter-76/subchapter-I/part-A covers the institute. Fixed term appointments, is not subservient to SecED and has it's own appropriation that the director spends based on the congressionally established functions.
There are a bunch of actions that are ambiguous they have done but this isn't one of them, it's simply out of reach of POTUS. Court is going to tell them to reverse what they have done, if they don't people will be found in contempt.

He controls congress, senate, supreme court, DOJ, Military, CIA, FBI, EVERYTHING. He is filling every orifice of lady liberty with his sticky orange loyalists, purging anyone even closely anti-Maga. Who's going to find him or his buddies in contempt after the dust is settled? The irrelevant Soros-court swamp judges for hire? I mean I guess they can stall him with whatever little credibility and legitimacy they have left, throwing lawsuits left and right, but I think Trump has found the antidote to them: Just ignore them. What are they gonna do? Cry? Take it to the supreme cort? Lmao Do you honestly think the average American is gonna care if those morally bankrupt parasites are mothballed and ignored? They are already on thin ice and seen as corrupt and partisan and owned and paid for by foreign agents. What makes you think the courts cant go with the other institutes when they are as crooked and corrupted as them? They cant stop the trump-musk diarchy. As long as Trump maintains control of the critical infrastructure needed to retain his power and mandate and keeps his approval up through propaganda and election promises, there's literally nothing they cant get away with. We laugh at the leftoids crying about fascism and oligarchy this and that, but actually we really seem to be crawling towards some new kinda order. There might come a moment when the most edgiest far-right Maga supporter goes: "Oh shit, I didnt think he would go this far" but by then it'll be too late.

Is it really a Trump Elon diarchy?
...because JD Vance has powerful silicon valley connections, and I think he knows all the tech billionares 
When you think about it, JD Vance has access to more money and connections than Trump while campaigning did because he hangs out with people like Thiel
If I was a ye old journ*list from a noir film I'd focus less on wacky rocket man and look more into Vance. When I first read "Hillbilly Elegy" like 10 years ago, I thought "wow this guy is maybe being groomed by rich people" fr fr no cap

Any sentences for contempt will still exist in 4 years. They are not pardonable. Day of the inauguration unless next POTUS prevents the marshals from arresting them they will be arrested.
The agencies he has closed will also still exist because he needs congress to kill them. It's really fricking weird what he is doing because it's the least effective way to reduce the size of government.

Think about it. They went after Trump (legally) and Musk (financially) already before the election. And they will go after them now and they will go after them after trumps presidency is over. They dont need to be in contempt or violate anything - the swamp is gonna come for them anyways, so darned if you do darned if you dont, they dont care about whats gonna happen in 4 years because they are betting everything on keeping POTUS idefinitely (no that doesnt involve making trump the emperor as funny as that would be) probably through manipulation of election systems which thanks to democrats is free game now. So get your butt ready for few generations of republican maga-loyalist presidents houses and senates as the democratic party shrinks into irrelevancy. If they fail they go down and they know it, but the rubicon wasnt crossed this week, it happened when trump chose to ran again, and for elon when he backed trump. He doesnt need to kill anything permanently for now, just put them on sleep mode. He has plenty of time.

As they just revealed USAID gave tens of million for a foreign entity (Soros) to get politically partisan activist judges elected. Not that we didnt already knew this was going on for decades but now its literal 100% verified community noted and canon. There is no rule of law in America and hasnt been for decades. Now its the rule of the Jungle.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this site is now dumber for having read it. May God have mercy on your soul.

Interesting. Technically I don't see a Supreme Court case regarding this, so he might be able to squeeze 6 justices to permit him to pardon contempt rulings, unless done so at the state level.

Do you think it's reasonable that there's a limit on how many feds can retire because their resignation papers must be stored in a mine? You don't think all government payments should be IDed, labeled and justified?
I just don't understand how someone can listen to this and think that what is happening is bad

Please, Big Government!
Please waste more money behind the scenes. 
We don't want to know how much you're wasting, or who's getting paid off in roundabout ways. 
We only want you to keep spending our money for your own personal gains.

hes cutting the shit that (mostly) isnt bloat, the us government hasnt grown in number of employees since like the 70s, the bloat is in contractors and even that is a drop in the bucket compared to entitlements, if he cuts half the federal work force he's cutting like 2% of the budget, if he cuts all foreign aid that less than 1%, they dont want to make cuts where they'd actually matter and their voters are easily dazzled by bullshit so they will never have to

I'm sure all the redditors would be perfectly happy if Elon immediately tried to cut entitlements...

It has increased:
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/01/07/what-the-data-says-about-federal-workers/#how-has-the-number-of-federal-workers-changed-over-time
You can make the per capita argument, and that's cute, but it doesn't explain why government has been so stagnant in productivity.
They're decreasing the growth rate of employment. I assume it's partly because throwing more people at the problem hasn't made government more efficient. If you keep hiring ahit employees, you won't get higher productivity. It's a long-term concern.

interview is actually pretty reasonable, they should really try listening too the whole thingbut also elmo is an unelected official of a department that can't exist because it's not approved by congress ... so calling himself the will of people is completely giga-autistic of him_________

Trump used the usds that got approved under obama for that

yeah but the USDS's goal isn't "governmental efficiency" it's digitizing governmental processes. trump is trying too make them responsible for hiring practices which seems quite far outside their stated definition.will prolly get jannied by the judicial system. it's not up the executive branch too broaden the scope of USDS like that.and the hiring freeze is just silly. labor only accounts for $300B of govt spend, far from what the deficient actually is, and most of the money just cycles thru the us economy vs much of the other spend_________

If he cared about bloat he would end SS and cut military which are huge expendotures.
SS is a ponzi scheme and was created by a gimp. Back in the day "retirement" was walking grandpa out into the woods.
The military is huge waste. We don't need too be paying for people too enlist, we have millions of prisoners that we can use for free.
