I got a confession I used to think Elon was one of the good ones but he’s revealed himself as a fucking ghoul like most of the rest of
not to glaze billionaires, but gabe newell and the lil caesar’s guy are actually pretty good, any others ?

How so? I’m not a big Elon guy but he’s seems like he’s been remarkably humble lately.

for me, it was his relationship with Grimes that really showed me OK this is a very volatile unstable man

And it’s genuinely a shame that the future of American space exploration is pegged to his name. Absolute fucking travesty

I work for a federal agency doing analytical work regarding the economy. He was such an ass during the whole doge thing. Constantly talking publicly about how the federal workforce doesn’t do anything, how we need to send him 5 things we did every Monday, creating an environment where everyone was worried about job cuts, firing capable people. Elon doesn’t know anything about the economy or my agency. They could’ve reduced real federal bloat but botched it to pursue “DEI contracts” and fire ppl

Idk what agency you work for, but I’ve worked inside 4 directly, and in partnership with… close to 90? (My skillset is very niche) Your department/agency might be one of the exceptions then. People sort of should be worried about job cuts. I couldn’t tell you how many times someone with a made up position tried to intervene on something because they had a title that hypnotized them into believing it was their job to interfere only to realize they were not only wrong, but lacked the clearance1/

2/2 to even be looking in the direction they were trying to say was their jurisdiction. Thats just field work. Office wise, roughly two years ago a family member made a correct prediction an entire department could be removed, then was immediately proven correct when their very mission set was tested in their own back yard, and they balked because they couldn’t complete one of the most simple tasks associated with their obscene budget.

That’s very interesting. Without giving away too much information, my agency is banking supervision related. I agree that people should generally perform above expectations and worry about having their job taken through normal competition. We suddenly lost a lot of staff without any justification, even when these people were producing high quality work products at complex institutions. I would’ve liked to see a plan or something concrete before just willy-nilly firing people. We’re still doing

I’m under the impression (the information wasn’t released to the public) DOGE partnered companies were assigned different criteria for analysis than DOGE itself. If your agency is anything like the SEC, I’ll tell you off the record, many government employees were flagged for facilitating insider trading and funneling money to foreign adversaries. That might not be the case with wherever you work, but it would seem many people in the banking industry thought their communications were private, 1/2

2/2 but when a specific algorithm went online, many backlogged Bluetooth conversations went to the top of the list for “look here!” threats to national security. Doesn’t seem like a violent threat because technically it’s not at the moment of the crime, it take months or years for that money to turn into weapons/propaganda, but these financial leaks stack up quickly and compound.

I mean please keep fighting the good fight to oversee the banking industry. There isn’t much glory in it, but from my side of things, I do see the results over time of y’alls work. It doesn’t go unnoticed and is appreciated.
