Seems to me that it’s mostly revenge; dismantling any government agency that has ever thwarted him, or that the right wing does not like. But, I certainly don’t trust his motives…
Ketamine. He’s doing ketamine mostly, everything else is just stuff he hires someone else to do. So I guess hiring people whilst doing ketamine.
DOGE: Department Of Government Extermination.
Setting things up to allow him to become the world’s first trillionaire.
The important stuff is about crippling regulatory mechanisms, opening up huge government contracts, and dismantling workers rights. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.
He’s taking control of the government payment systems so he control everything and take whatever he wants.
^ This answer. He wants the US Treasury for his own. But also, he knows money is just a way of keeping score. If he wants to accomplish great things, he needs a slave race working blindly for him. (Musk having been raised in South Africa, apartheid was a real thing. Small white ruling class with all the money over the black native population who were treated like dogs). His goal is to bring that here and D.T. will help him.
They are both broken people inside. Something is very wrong in there and I pray it gets fixed/better.
He’s privatising the government and remaking it to his own technocratic specifications, a corpocracy but with racial foundations (whites at the top).
He is a one man ponzi scheme, he would buy tesla stock,increasing his cash,the Ln spend that cash on buying stock. Its a really terrible idea because it means you conning yourself. Which is where he is now,so his trying and failing to but time and to beef up his value. Think about it, before is worth about half as much as musk,but amozon sells millions of kg of physical stuff everyday,so ya he should be worth billions. What does Elon sell? Why is his car company worth twice as much as Ford? No one is buying his shit but the stock value keeps going up? Well its a one man ponzi. Well now the walls are closing in,so what’s a billionaire to do? Buy the walls. But he needs to be stopped otherwise he’ll swallow the whole us economy
He’s mad we don’t like him enough. He’s a spoiled asshole rich kid knocking down our block castle because he isn’t getting 100% attention and love. He’s pathetic and it’s terrifying he has any power let alone dictatorial power.
Elon is wiping out any opposition or oversight into what he does while he’s also gaining access to the inner workings of other companies whether they be rivals or potential takeovers. He will also use some of that information to get back at individuals that he has a grudge with.
This
A.k.a. purge. Like the Soviet kind.
It’s a purge.
I once heard a talk by Bill Gates about his charity work through the Gates foundation. He described how he and Melinda had dedicated tens or hundreds of millions to causes. But the best money he could spend was in petitioning the government to join the cause. Because for all the wealth and power and notoriety held by the billionaire class, it was still a drop in the bucket compared to what world states could do. It’s a difference of orders of magnitude. The difference between a thousand dollars and a million dollars? That’s the same as the difference between a million and a billion. World governments operate in the trillions.
This is a coup.
Musk the Billionaire is small potatoes compared to Musk at the levers of government finance. It’s like a leaky faucet compared to a firehose. The one holding that firehose controls where it goes.
This is a coup. It is establishing an unelected oligarchy at the core of the Federal Government with the power to influence and manipulate policy, and execute unofficial policy through financial pressure. It’s not anything new to history, and it’s not 5-D chess. It is just people in power grabbing more power for themselves at the expense of all others including elected officials. In other words, a coup.
Now, don’t get me wrong, fuck Trump and fuck Musk.
That being said, It’s most likely more simple than a master plan for world domination. He’s removing protections for workers and consumers so he can cut corners, pay less, and make more money. Plain and simple.
He’s also stealing our tax dollars through government contracts. Trump does the same thing.
Not playing whatever that game is that he said he’s really good at but actually doesn’t even play
My guess is dismantling citizen protections to allow him to do as he pleases to create a long lasting legacy. The guy probably realizes the sky is the limit and wants to be able to do anything he wants without laws and other frivolous things in his way. Especially if he is controversial his name will ring out through history as “influential” whether it’s good stuff or bad (seems like he’s okay with bad)
Your intuition is spot on.
Elon is gutting USAID because they were investigating him over starlink. Elon is gutting the government agencies that oversee electric car regulations and safety regulations. Elon is going after the SEC for investigating him. Elon is using the government’s databases to amass data to target political and business competitors and to further the far right propaganda campaigns as well as build list of deportees and political targets. Elon is gutting every TLA he can to ensure his taxes decrease and yours increase. Elon is tearing through decades of support and opportunity programs designed to help the less fortunate/less abled to live comfortably so he can live more comfortably.
Everything he’s doing, is for his own benefit and personal gain, to the extreme detriment of the entire country. He’s neither qualified nor elected. His actions should amount to treason, but they’re being enabled by a traitorous, treasonous, felonious criminal, the shittiest president this country has ever seen.
The country also let said traitorous, treasonous felonious criminal run a second time so we’ve failed as a country long before the past November 5th
Hard to argue with that. IDK why the fuck we can let a convicted felon run for the highest office when they’re barred from voting (state dependent, fuck you florida), or can’t own a firearm. The law literally prescribes they cannot be trusted. We can thank stacked scotus (i.e. trump) for this failure too.
You should see how up in arms the GOP is here in Missouri because there’s a felon working in the public defender’s office. He should run for president instead!
If you believe the technocrat mumbo jumbo he’s fracturing central government into tons of little fifedoms that his billionaire buddies can rule. And hopefully while killing bazillions of people as some kind of a ‘market reset’ to drive up shareholder value.
Fucking terrifying.
Huh. I see the idea of divide and conquer. But I got a bit lost with “killing bazillions of people as some kind of a ‘market reset’ to drive up shareholder value”. I’m thinking of the black plague, which killed millions, but that increased worker power because survivors had less competition and therefore could demand higher wages.
I don’t know what the reasoning is, but “they” say there’s too many people and that, like, 2/3rds of humanity should die. Probably due to them being the wrong colour.
He read Snow Crash and misidentified the protagonist, even though the protagonist’s name is Hiro Protagonist, and now he wants to build a world of Burbclaves and sovereign city states without any real central government.
He probably just read the Mad magazine parody. Same with Hitchhikers Guide. He’s doing Zaphod dirty.
He may want to be Zaphod, but he’s a Vogon through and through.
