Where’s the period after the “E”?
He figured he would be efficient and just delete extra periods.
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.
Reminder, period trackers on social media are not to be trusted… :-|
why? is it targeted advertising?
It’s definitely targeted but more like a tech version of the Hitler youth snitching program or the entire 1984 book
Cringe fellow-kids, galaxy-brained dipshit
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.

or blowing a fuckload of money on it and having nothing to show for it
Just blow the money on… blow
While you’re right about his intentions, I’m pretty sure he’s just pumping Doge Coin so he can dump it for a quick profit.
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.
It works as Department Of Getting E, I guess, which would appeal to the ‘80s/‘90s ravers among us.
So ungrateful, you should be impressed the generator pulled off the text as cleanly as it did(.)
He typed “a gold sign that says D.O.G.E” and you know it(.)(.)
(.)( )
nice boobies at the end there
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
My I’s are up here ^
Department of Government. Efficiency?
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.
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.
And this will be by design
Is that picture AI-generated? Has that weirdly plastic look
To be fair, Musk does also have a weird plastic look in real pictures…
also doesn’t look like a troglodyte, it’s definitely fake
It’s all he does now.
Powered by klorbulon-x Ai or some shit
Whats it actually called? I know the real name is equally as stupid.
Grok, yeah it’s stupid.
🥲
He’s shilling Dogecoin, that’s all. He needs some simps to be his bagholders that’s all.
Eh, that meme came and went. It does give him plausible deniability for this reference though:
FYI: Elon Musk on his crypto portfolio: I only own bitcoin, ether and dogecoin
He sits on a pile of Doge that’s worth less than half of what he paid. He was never shy of manipulating stock or (crypto)currency valuations as there are never legal consequences for him. Let’s see if enough of his horde of simps is dumb enough to be his bag holders of Doge.
What a fucking dickhead
I imagine this is what would happen if you gave a five year old billions
To play Devil’s advocate isn’t he autistic?
Most autistic people still act like adults
That’s no excuse for being a raging asshole.
He embraced that concept in the same way a lot of people do, as a perceived superpower of being smart. Note he particularly claimed to have Asperger’s nearly a decade after the DSM removed it as a distinct diagnosis. People flocked to Asperger’s as a self diagnosis of “Autism light, I’m an asshole, but it’s ok because I have a condition, but I don’t have any real downsides because it’s not ‘full’ Autism”.
Now with it gone as an official diagnosis, people still embrace high functioning autistic as some sort of badge of honor/superpower and explanation for why they can be assholes. So you continue to have ton of people self-diagnosing to rationalize a more comfortable, lazy interaction with the world. “neurodivergent” is cool because it has the word “divergent” in it, and who would be so lame as to be “neurotypical”, which is used almost as a slur among folks eager to self-diagnose autism.
In short, I’m not particularly inclined to put much stock in anyone’s self-proclamation of autistic. I’ve seen people struggling with it for real and I frankly find it a bit offensive how a lot of internet people have flocked to bragging about their “autism” given how much struggle people have with the condition.
This pretty much sums up the Elon in my mind
He’s clearly autistic, and not everyone is “faking” it. Stop being an asshole, like him.
Is an inflated sense of self importance a symptom of autism? Of course there is also the “I have lots of money therefore whatever I think is by default true” which I would not associate with autism but more with second generation billionaires who manage to convince themselves that their success is solely a result of their skills and competence.
Where is the burn? 53 is the age you are supposed to have a midlife crisis.
Imagine being hyped that your chosen candidate literally lets you buy a government agency to run. Pathetic.
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.
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.
We don’t care about your stock price or dividends.
What’s that got to do with anything? SpaceX isn’t traded and doesn’t pay dividends.
Then why are so many people dickriding it?
The company is impressive technically, I guess? I don’t know really. Like I wrote before, Shotwell is running it, not Mr ego personified, so maybe the shine hasn’t worn off like it did for Tesla and Twitter for some people?
I like what they’ve achieved, I think that it will moticate for ULA and Boeing to ‘do better’ and they’ve proved its possible to succeed at a number of rocket technologies that had been previously written off, like cost effective reusability and full flow staged combustion.
That said, I’m not going to be upset if ULA pulls ahead of them, or if Rocket Lab has a huge win, or if ArianeSpace decides that it’s time to stop sitting on their hands. I’m a fan of space technology, and I don’t particularly care which company advances the cause.
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.
