Department of Government Efficiency - DOGE

I think it's fair to compare Musk and Edison. Both intelligent, strong businessmen good at identifying and launching promising technologies.

Which I agree is closer to the truth, and also very funny since he wants to be seen as Tesla and I would guess is not a fan of Edison.

 

[kiddiedoc]

what components did he invent?

X.com, several components of his EVs and navigation, Starlink network, Falcon heavy rockets, raptor methane engines for starters.

Huh?

X.com didn't even really do what PayPal does. As I understand it, X.com was meant to be full service online banking. It merged with Confinity, an older company that was already doing email payments. After the merger, they slightly expanded on what Confinity was doing, and that was the finished product (which they finished without him).

This is fun. Remember when MSM wasn't trying to convince you EM was a Nazi?

CNBC:

Elon Musk may just be the 21st century’s Thomas Edison.

The prolific inventor’s inventions have won him multiple entrepreneur and innovator-of-the-year awards.

I may or may not be lying if I said it turned me on.

Well, let's see:

Gestapo:

- secret police
- reported to government leaders
- used teams to investigate
- The power of the Gestapo was used to focus upon political opponents, ideological dissenters (clergy and religious organizations), career criminals, the Sinti and Roma population, handicapped persons, homosexuals, and, above all, the Jews.


DOGE

- unofficial, unelected, unvetted
- reports to Trump administration
- Exec order established DOGE "teams"
- taking action against government agencies, funding and grants, to ensure they are consistent and aligned with Trump's policies



THOSE WHO CANNOT REMEMBER THE PAST ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT.

It's worse now. Doge employees are not identifying themselves and it's a crime to publish their names, says Musk.

DOGE Employees Identified On X – Doxing Or Case Of Free Speech?

Musk claimed a crime was "committed" after the names of six DOGE employees were posted online; yet, he had previously reposted the names of government employees

The comparisons to the Gestapo are mounting.

Funny you would ask that question. You obviously know a lot about him and the development of Tesla and SpaceX.

 

[85SugarVol]

at least they're not ****ing each other over for a percentage

I really thought you’d be smarter than this

 

[gcbvol]

I disagree. While @gcbvol certainly leans liberal, IMO, I definitely don't consider him to be one of the looney leftists on this board. I think he's generally very reasonable when discussing most topics, even when we disagree. I enjoy discussions with him.

Yep. I'm left of center, but not far left. I called myself socially liberal and fiscally conservative back when that was a thing.

I don't like or dislike anyone based on their political party. It's character, intelligence, and actions which drive my opinion. I love when we are intellectually honest in conversations, particularly politics.

I do love me some Pete, though. He's not some flawless entity, but I will defend slander on occasion.

he holds 28 patents for various components for cars and software. he designed one car, some **** like charging ports a door, some component for neuralink. He's a smart guy and not a fake engineer as some claim but he employs people far more capable than him.

Better than Edison, actually because he doesn't just outright steal work

The democrat party! What an embarrassment!! No wonder LG left.

Inspiring what a shmuck.

Are you familiar with his view of patents?

 

[apevol]

Are you familiar with his view of patents?

yeah, he claims he doesn't give a **** about them. Why does he have any? why does tesla have thousands not in his name?

 

[Vol423]

Personally I find @gcbvol consistent. We usually disagree, but his views aren’t irrationally driven out of his hatred for Trump. Other posters, not so much. They hate Trump so bad that they lose the ability to reach reasonable conclusions whenever Trump is directly or indirectly associated with the topic being discussed.

I agree. He’s a solid poster IMO.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

As I've mentioned before, I don't like Elon. However, I honestly think that's due to his aspergers.

High functioning Aspergers is a gift.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

But Elon really hurt Huff. So very, very deeply.

I thought I was the only one that noticed. lol

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Hatred clouds one’s judgement. That’s my point. TDS is real!

TDS is a mass psychosis
