    Well it's an interesting appointment if nothing else. I think Musk is a decent enough bloke and clearly competent.

    Managing the public sector is very different to managing a private enterprise though. Inefficient things in the private sector can normally be lost with minimal cost. You do that in the private sector and it risks having an impact on some kind of vulnerable group or urgent social need.

    That said, there are undoubtedly inefficiencies and more importantly structural weaknesses and very likely better ways of doing things. Interesting times.

    The military guy...well that seems a bit, ummm, rogue. But I guess people wanted change?!

    well done! you have proven once again that you do not know what you are talking about. Trump is appointing ass lickers that have bent the knee and will do anything he says. "Decent bloke" Musk has already been pushed to the side.

    You never disappoint. You just cannot stop yourself demonstrating what an idiot you are.

    Do you think all that was running through Trump's mind when he was deciding who to run the new agency called DOGE?

    What do you disagree with?

    Perhaps explain without demonstrating how obnoxious you are?

    Who knows what was running through his mind. What do you think?

    I think you're probably right. He wanted a decent bloke who was competent, and of course Musk would be the first person if you want that.

    Every day he demonstrates his decent character, and if buying Twitter for $44bn and giving it the worst rebranding of all time isn't competent efficiency, then who knows what is!

    Musk has been appointed because he showed loyalty to Trump in the campaign and donated heartily. No one doubts that.

    It doesn't stop it being an interesting appointment, or mean there arent different ways of working does it?

    He doesn't just own X btw.

    And yeah I think he does seem a decent enough guy. What of it? 💁

    I'm not though am I.

    As usual, you don't actually state anything of value or a clear opinion. Is that because when you do, you are normally proved wrong within a fairly short period of time?

    I was hoping you may be able to respond sensibly instead of like a toddler too. Alas!

    Contrarian is an interesting word for you to use Recovered from the election result yet?

    Do you think Trump is a decent guy too?

    Not really, no, although it's also not the most important trait in a politician. But I think Elon Musk seems a decent enough bloke and comes across fairly well in interviews. I've never met him so certainly not going to slag off the personality of someone I haven't met or had any engagement with.

    I think it was wonderfully decent of him to offer bribes to skew the election voting. Whoever said the ultra rich love democracy?

    If some people believe being decent is not the most important characteristic of a politician I think we may as well all go home and turn the lights off. Prepare for the worst!

    Maybe the leaders of the Ku Klux Klan and The Proud Boys were busy?

    Gaetz is surely the face of Trumpism Mk 2? A lovely piece of work!


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Gaetz

    Gaetz was one of two members (of the Florida House of Representatives) to vote against a Florida bill criminalizing revenge porn, in 2015, after having successfully blocked the bill previously.

    In 2020, Gaetz was accused of sex trafficking and having sexual relationships with minors. After an investigation, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) decided not to charge him, though Gaetz remains[needs update] under investigation of the House Ethics Committee.

    In June 2021, Gaetz was one of 21 House Republicans to vote against a resolution to give the Congressional Gold Medal to police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

    In March 2023, The Intercept reported that Gaetz had hired Derrick Miller as his military legislative aide. Miller spent eight years in prison after he was convicted of murdering a civilian during his army service in Afghanistan.



    On the plus side he's married to someone called Ginger Luckey Gaetz.

    Why do you need to call me a **** for saying this? A week ago, you made this post:

    https://www.ccmb.co.uk/showthread.ph...=1#post5552458

    Twitter had a strong brand. You could adapt the name as a verb and people knew instantly what you meant, just like hoovering.

    It's been X for over a year, and it still needs to have "formerly known as Twitter" whenever it's referred to. There's no easy word for using it anymore. What do you say instead of tweeting? Posting on X?


    You can give this a read, it doesn't take long to find a whole load of articles of how it was a rebranding disaster:

    You prove me wrong? Fair play, you're deluded as well as an idiot.

    In practically every thread you enter, including this one, you proffer some contrarian (usually vaguely rightwing) opinion and in short order a plethora of people hand your ass back to you on a plate. But you're too hubristic to even realize it so you plough on and on ad nauseam trying to retrieve a lost argument. You post in repeatedly in practically every thread. Why? Do you think you're omniscient?

    Anyone who defends Trump is by definition an idiot. Is that clear enough for you? Now jog on, idiot.
