If anything, these billionaires are concerned that Chinese power is in it's ability to control its people and businesses and democracy gets in the way. Pure delusional greed of silver spoon tech incels.

He also acts like a child. An uninspired edgelord like Musk shouldn't be in government.
I've probably just been too poor/whole life, never rich but I can't imagine being that much of an ahole regarding not helping others but might is right... right
I also believe in the premise of capitalism (getting paid for merit/work) but yeah when you get to that much money why do you keep going for more

Regardless of your thoughts about the size of the federal government, there is zero oversight to this "transition." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-federal-inspectors-genera...
There's no way to have unbiased oversite. It was tried that way during his first term with limited sucess. Give this method a shot and if it breaks then it breaks and they try something different. This is the same "he's going to break twitter" crowd when 80% of the people were fired. Guess what, it kept running. The government will be fine. And the Chinese already have all our data.
Musk should have nothing to do with governing. Period.
I'm sure this will be flagged soon enough, but people need to know that there is an unprecedented, hostile, and (seemingly) illegal blitzkrieg happening against the federal civil service.

Americans like the socialized services a larger government can provide.
They want government to be useful to them, not useless to them.
You don’t really believe people want a small government, do you? They see a small government like Somalia. They don’t want Somalia.
Remember a large government services the people. A small libertarian government services the powerful and wealthy.

This is beyond unconstitutional. Congress can reduce spending. It cannot be stolen in broad daylight by a private citizen. This is not a time to be sanguine. American democracy is dying before our eyes.
It only matters if the legislative and judicial branches care to push the issue. Which they don't.
I chuckle when people were worried about China. The call is coming from inside the house. We have met the enemy and he is us.

Let's hope they don't use a regex or an "AI" to decide whom to purge, but I would not be surprised.

Forgive me for not viewing it the same way. The news is focusing on the airplane right now.
