I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc
DOGE says it has saved $55 billion in federal spending so far, but its website only accounts for $16.6 billion of that

I'm guessing if Jesus showed up at their "National Prayer Breakfast" they'd call ICE and have him deported.

Imagine Musk or Trump caring about such quaint proletariat concerns.
Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad?
We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

‘Phonetic’ is not.
‘Abbreviation’ is 12 letters.
‘Thesaurus’ doesn’t have a synonym.
Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humor.

Power corrupts, but cowardice corrupts more completely.
Zuckerberg had every resource needed to stand up to Trump's assault on American institutions. He chose weak-willed, flaccid submission in its place.

This Man is a Coward
This man is a coward. And no amount of corporate jargon or performative masculinity can make that stain go away.

I can't help feeling a "game-changing" technology that's going to "transform" the way we work wouldn't need to be sneaked into products without the user's consent.
All I see is posts asking "How do I switch this f**king thing off?"
Copilot's the U2 album nobody asked for, except it's not free.

A free steam game
Where you design the layout for an art gallery
Then you put your real artwork on display in the gallery
Then you and your friends can wander around the gallery and just chat and stuff
And I guess it could monetize by selling hats
