Nothing says Government Efficiency like making a BRAND NEW DEPARTMENT with MILLIONS of Taxpayer Dollars!
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.
Hey, my man, Lonnie, is gonna make the guberment just as awesome as Twitter, which is doing great.
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"
He'll require every American to write the IRS a multipage letter each year where they must explain why they deserve their tax rebate.
If they make less than $500K/yr then yes, probably.
People are so bad at punctuation now. Idiots like this just perpetuate it. Where's the last period on your acronym? It's even more cringe as a result.
So ungrateful, you should be impressed the generator pulled off the text as cleanly as it did(.)
Is that picture AI-generated? Has that weirdly plastic look
also doesn't look like a troglodyte, it's definitely fake
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.
Complain about government budgets/taxes/the deficit/etc
Reduce/stagnate funding for critical programs
Critical programs begin to fail
Blame the left/liberals/socialists/communists/other boogeymen
Take over government entity
Where's the period after the "E"?
Reminder, period trackers on social media are not to be trusted... :-|
I cant wait for his midlife crisis to be over.
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.
Spending years heavily abusing a variety of drugs does that to you.
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.
Lol, you should have seen him before all the cosmic surgery 😅
He’s shilling Dogecoin, that’s all. He needs some simps to be his bagholders.
Douche Of Gargantuan Enormity
I like how the E in the shitbag AI photo has no period.
To his credit, I have never seen anyone destroy a company and its reputation as efficiently as he trashed Twitter.
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.
Very rich (hah) for a guy who uses government funds to build his explodey space rockets.
Not the greatest example, imo.
SpaceX has been very consistent in delivering on its government contracts with far more cost efficiency than any of its competitors.
The most glaring example is the Commercial Crew Program. They were given far less money than Boeing, and it looks like they might end up being the sole US provider of commercial crew to the ISS.
Starship HLS (moon lander starship) is government funded, but core Starship is not, it's financed with private equity - so the rocket explosions haven't been on the taxpayers' dime.
That all said, Elon doesn't really run SpaceX, Gwynne Shotwell does - which is probably the smartest business decision Elon has ever made.
SpaceX has been very consistent in delivering on its government contracts
"Better than Boeing" is very low bar, ATM. But SpaceX technology appears to be lagging India - which put a probe into Marsian orbit for $75M a full ten years ago - and Russians - whose Soyuz rocket continues to provide the cheapest LEO lift at $3800/kg.
SpaceX is in the traditional American contractor model of Late and Overbudget. What's more they don't pay their bills on time.
As an American firm, they're the best of the worst. Intentionally, they're experimenting with interesting techniques, but they aren't outcompeting their global peers.
Imagine being hyped that your chosen candidate literally lets you buy a government agency to run. Pathetic.
Where is the burn? 53 is the age you are supposed to have a midlife crisis.
If such a government agency existed, I'd expect C-level executives to be first on the chopping block of inefficiencies since they're absolutely pointless.
LeI’m n is so desperate for power, ugh. Those two fucknuts working together is another excellent reason to make sure DT does not take office. How horrible too, a vaguely defined department of “efficiency “? From the idiot who goes around on his production floor doing shit like “why does the driver go backwards twice before going forwards? Eliminate that step” (it prevents cross threading, but Leon doesn’t know that).
I imagine this is what would happen if you gave a five year old billions
Nah fam, that looks like the department of gathering evidence
What a fucking dickhead
Wouldn’t that mean a bigger government?
The man has no shame, you got to troll him
Easiest way to troll Elon Musk is to say the word "cisgender" in earshot
Nah, that wouldn’t make him look weak to his supporters, that’s what most leftist don’t get.
You can’t insult them on your level, you have to insult things they actually care about.
Hence calling them weird and its effectiveness.
Lol, it's amazing how much calling them "weird" then ignoring them drives trumpets nuts.
My go-to steps:
Mention the couch
Wait till freak about it'll not being true
Tell them they're being too weird to continue to talk to and ignore them.
Profit
This is the prequel to The Terminator, where he travels into the past to prevent Sarah Conner from having an abortion, so he can later travel back from the future to kill her son.
Oh my Fuck I thought that was a meme that someone made.
A 53 year old man trying to meme like 30 year olds did a decade ago. He isn’t bussin no cap, this is the equivalent of a rage comic, but with him applying for a currently nonexistent financial leadership position in donOLD’s cabinet.
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
