LOL...you are absolutely delusional. Enlighten us on what you would claim to be a "genius"...or just even "great" in your book?? And NO I don't equate wealth with high intelligence...I equate high intelligence with being a very smart and intelligent person which musk is...besides you are trying to move the goal posts as well. Musk is a genius in how he runs his companies, is an amazing engineer, physicist, and coder...which has made him the world's richest man as a result. Take your hate for all things R sunglasses off and you will see how much he has done for this world in terms of technological advancements. And I somewhat agree with you on him being a "wacko"...but that is based on his personality quirks versus how smart and successful he is.

So your defense of saying he hasn't found any fraud is saying that it was fraud that "we all knew about"?? Seriously?? Come on..... And of the cuts made, I haven't seen anything I was like...oooh maybe he shouldn't of done that (not talking about the firing of people), but I also agree that they should all be made within the constitutional power of the POTUS, or through congress as needed; however, I am pretty sure you, nor I, nor anyone on here has ANY clue as to the actual legalities of what is happening...heck, even the MSM who sensationalize and lie all the time and hate Trump/Musk, ultimately punt and say the courts will sort it out...fine by me despite it slowing a lot of things down. Funny part is that if the courts say it is okay but slows everything down to a crawl, you all will still be belly aching that it is taking too long, the judges are biased, and play some more mental gymnastics to somehow make these cuts bad.

That may technically be true given that those people may not be able to contribute in the same way to the economy compared to when they were employed (again I think the argument of HOW these people were let go is an argument that could be had); however, if their job was not needed it is the right thing to not maintain that job position (cut the waste). To me the right way to handle this would be to give the people time to find another job before their position is eliminated, help them with job placement (there are programs out there), and give them a severance, if needed. But ultimate the job should be eliminated if it is not needed.

Thank you for at least admitting you are intellectually lazy...carry on RV!

I'll never understand the mentality of some on here...thinking Musk isn't a smart successful guy...like under what sort of qualifications are you freaking using dude?!?! It would be absolutely hilarious if RL or RV ever had the chance to sit down with Musk and speak to the guy and truly understand what he has accomplished in his life comparable to them. Would love for them to compare the charitable contribution and charitable actions he has taken compared to them, even normalizing it out over salaries for each party. It probably is because they are so intellectually weak that they can't separate the dislike for someone's personality with whether they are smart and successful....Musk is a weird dude...but he is also extremely brilliant and successful...and that would hold true no matter what side of the isle he supported.

Again I'll bite...what fraud/waste that is being uncovered do you believe SHOULDN'T be cut?? And why?

Weee...mental gymnastics are fun....weee....being immature and calling people names are fun....

Hey Trip...maybe take notes from 1032004 on how to have an adult/mature/normal conversation with someone even if you don't see eye to eye on things??

Totally fair take...and to be honest, I wasn't a fan of his nomination either and said so at the time. But I am also a let's wait and see if he can in fact do the job versus just blatantly saying someone is unqualified because of who nominated the person when in all honestly, none of us on here really know the true qualifications of every appointment ever made on either side of the isle. And if Trip would have stopped at the OP I wouldn't have said anything, but he didn't of course, and it divulged into nonsense.

I'll bite...there definitely could be a discussion/argument made on HOW the "firings" have occurred, but do know WHO the people were that were let go??? My guess is no since it is way easier for you to consistently be intellectually lazy and just throw out emotional statements without understanding the whole and true picture of what is happening.

I have no idea if Hegseth addressed it and quite frankly, I don't care since he shouldn't have to make a comment every time he drinks water/soda/juice/etc. I will admit I shouldn't have said alcohol...I should have based my comment around him saying the "brown liquid" was alcohol. The overall point is it was a stupid thread to begin with. Do we now assume someone that has a history drinking alcohol (I have seen no clear evidence that he is in fact an alcoholic), everything they drink is alcohol?? Not to mention people believe that alcoholic's only drink alcohol? Again, doesn't this all sound completely ridiculous?? Or does this sound more logical...if he is truly an alcoholic, he more than likely will not be able to do his job based on piss poor performance, and thus should be fired. Versus every time the guy is seen drinking something there is a news story about it, threads are started, and he should be expected to address what in fact he was drinking???

Man you guys are whacko's! I have become obsessed with watching these FB reels of this group of guys that catch child pedo's and smack the crap out of them...sometimes beating them bloody...these sicko's getting exactly what they deserve!! I wish a group would do that where I live as I'd seriously think about joining it.

What is so telling is how Trip started this thread and when presented with actual evidence that it was not alcohol he was drinking Trip refuses to back down. At least Vack comes on admits when he posted something that wasn't 100% accurate.

Even when presented with evidence...real evidence...their mental gymnastics goes to new heights to make themselves not believe it...LOL...seriously it is like a bad comedy show on here now. Musk/Trump could say that water is wet and the TDS/EDS minions on here would say he is lying.
