Wait. So with a straight face, you're telling me that Musk - a non-elected billinaire - firing people who are investigating his companies, are totally fine?


Trump won in big part because he said he was going to bring Elon in to fix the government.

Just because you don't like Trump and Elon doesn't mean that democracy isn't working as intended.

Yes the people who were suing SpaceX for not hiring enough immigrants while SpaceX was also required to hire US citizens should be fired. This is what we voted for. If you don't like it you should support a candidate that doesn't focus on identity politics and win the next election, then that candidate can focus on lawsuits and regulations against the greatest innovator alive.


Trump won because he has lied and manipulated a population of idiots. They have managed to create a situation where they can say whatever they want and still get support.

That much is clear to everyone outside of the US. And we don't want any more of your culture over here thank you very much.

No one is debating whether or not increasing efficiency or reducing government is a good or bad thing. It is the way it's being done we take issue with. It's as close to 1930's Germany as you can imagine.

You are conflating anti-Israel / anti-Netanyahu and antisemitism. One of the many lies the right is using these days.

I can think Netanyahu is a dangerous person who shouldn't be in power and is causing Israel to be a not great actor on the world stage, and not a damn bit of that has anything to do with Netanyahu's race.


No I'm not, I'm saying that if you want to compare a group to 1930s Germany you should look at the people who defended the Oct 7 attacks and who are against free speech


Should we look at the people who are saying they're going to remove all Palestinians from Gaza and turn it into a resort?

You know, the ones actively saying "let's go do a genocide"?


Asking Jordan and EGYPT to take Palestinian immigrants is the same thing as sending them to the gas chamber?


Serious governments don't ask Egypt and Jordan to do that because both nations have already made their stance clear on the matter.

For as long as Israel refuses to take Gazan health or survival seriously, I wouldn't hesitate to call this a modern Holocaust.


Calling everyone a NAZI does seem to be the current tactic of the left.


Because you are.


If the shoe fits, your only defense is to not wear it. Israel's government is genocidal and knows it.


Not sure what being Jewish has to do with anything. Hasn't the president been talking about ethnic cleansing the Palestinians from Gaza? Just because he is attacking different groups than the Nazis did doesn't mean it is somehow better.


Trump won in big part because the Democratic Party a) pretended that all was well with Joe Biden, b) swapped in Kamala Harris when plan a) didn't work. Someday perhaps the Democratic Party will understand that the job of a serious political party is not to inspire (Hillary! Kamala!) but to govern.

Forgot to ask--who is this greatest innovator alive?


Good a place as any to remind people that Musk did not found Tesla nor SpaceX.


If things felt corrupt before, why not improve the processes? Why keep doing the same but with the companies the administration in turn likes the best?


Removing the process is the improvement. This is what we voted for. Less processes not more and actual results.

Ask ChatGPT to compare and contrast Kamala Harris's effectiveness as "broadband Tzar" as compared to SpaceX Starlink.


Less process creates transparency gaps which become opportunities for more corruption.


There is a balance in process vs. efficiency.

The idea that anyone removing any processes is only doing it to insert corruption isn't a valid argument against efficiency


Got it, so frame the question using language hinting i'm looking for an anti Harris response.


What do you think is the best way for a voter to decide if Harris would be a good steward of tax payer money?


Bleep bloop bleep bloop, looks like AI generated responses even reached Hacker News.


Trump hands over government services to his biggest donor with zero accountability, transparency, and oversight. That is not corruption? What an Orwellian world.

SpaceX bid and won projects. Did they win via corruption as well?

Reread everything and cross out through names and see if you feel the sams.

A bit laughable to accuse someone of being misinformed and them point them at a bullshit machine for answers.

You might want to consider reading/learning from some primary sources instead of basing your entire perception of reality on hallucinations from chatbots and Fox News.
