I can't comment at all on Steve bannon but musk said my heart goes out to you put his hand on his heart and struck his arm out in a gesture repeated by many others

Others being Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Göring, Heydrich, Bormann...

Before WW2, most people could never have imagined the death destruction and descent into barbarism and hell that was possible.

Today there is no excuse. We know the death destruction and descent into barbarism and hell that is possible.

Pre WW2, they did understand the horrors of War. WW1 was a recent memory.

And still, we do nothing…

What i find utterly bewildering (complete revulsion of the man aside) is that he seems so utterly shit at any level of making productivity improvements apart from sackng people - he seems to have no track record or expertise in delivering any results in this area at all. When he did this at Twitter he broke it. His other companies were all about delivering innovative products not efficiency. I work for a very large global corporation that is rather obsessed with efficiency (and doesvery well as a result) - why people bleat on about him as if he is some sort of super powered management consultant extraordinaire is just bizarre .

TooBigForMyBoots · 23/02/2025 13:01

I see his approach is evolving since his previous e-mails sacking employees. This the unnecessarily nasty shit workers received before:

Unfortunately, the agency finds that you are not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge and skills do not fit the agency's current needs, and your performance has not been adequate to justify further employment at the agency," read the letters.

Bullshit of course as it was a mass, indiscriminate e-mail. These are American workers and Trump voters. Why go out of his way to piss them off?

Scary world we're living in right now, I would imagine not dissimilar to a pre ww2.

Exactly how I feel but with the added dangers of tech and social media to help fuel the fire.

@ThejoyofNC really? Drugs /white house??

Hunter Biden bought cocaine into the white house.
Obama hosted regular sex and drug parties.

Fucking musk
HelpMeGetThrough · 23/02/2025 13:16

Obama hosted regular sex and drug parties

So that's what his Mrs meant with "When they go low, we go high".

Pre WW2, they did understand the horrors of War. WW1 was a recent memory.

WW1 was the reason for the appeasement that led to WW2.

As I say, we know where this ends. And we're all on this train together.

Hunter Biden bought cocaine into the white house.

Can you please link to full evidence on the latter

I cannot fathom the power he is being given. It's terrifying

People are complaining about having barely any money to live on. Musk's role is to cut back on government waste. He is getting on with it
People don't like his cut backs but continue to complain about having barely any money to live on.
We could do with the same in this country. Cancelling all foreign aid (as Musk has done) would put £2,300 on all basic rate tax payers allowances and help hard pressed families but no one in our feeble government has the balls to actually take tough decisions that benefit the people here..

Most of them Nazis

sillybillydh · 23/02/2025 13:36

Ok @Zebedee999 I'll bite. Do you think that the way Musk is going about the task is right and acceptable? Do you think it's the work of a sane and intelligent man whose orders also came from a sane and intelligent man?
Would you be ok with someone going about it in the same way in the UK?

roastedrapidly · 23/02/2025 13:36

I think the idea of what needs to be done is a good one - with a little moderation thrown in.

Putting this in the hands of an erratic chainsaw wielding, Nazi saluting crazy man is worrying. Anyone who has been around substance abuse will recognise the signs he exhibits....surely there is someone better for this role?

itsnotjustyoumate · 23/02/2025 13:38

@Zebedee999 it's the way he's going about it though, I don't trust him one bit. He's like dr evil

Here's my 2 second email from chat gpt. They should all just reply with this :

Sure! Here are five bullet points that could apply to an average federal employee in the U.S. based on general tasks:

Processed and responded to 25+ public inquiries regarding [specific government program or service], ensuring timely and accurate information.

Collaborated with team members to update and improve [specific process or procedure], leading to a 10% increase in efficiency.

Reviewed and analyzed 15+ documents or reports, identifying key insights that will inform upcoming policy decisions.

Participated in weekly team meetings, providing updates on current projects and offering feedback for process improvements.

Completed ongoing training in [specific area or software], enhancing skills and ensuring compliance with federal regulations.

SerenityNowSerenityNow · 23/02/2025 13:42

Hunter Biden bought cocaine into the white house.

Hunter Biden was not given an official role or position of influence.

Obama hosted regular sex and drug parties.

Where is the evidence of this actually happening?

Now you mention it, there is a similarity with Trump and Musk.

I'm also intrigued by the Obama sex and drug parties...

Can you let me have a link to the facts behind this please
All I could find was this, quoting £74 per person?

yeah who needs people working behind the scenes to keep our water clean and prevent future pandemics. Wokeist nonsense.

?? Well clearly those people would be able to evidence the value they add.

Threads like this always resort to deliberately misinterpreting very straightforward points!
