Perhaps βLiberation Dayβ referred to enough voters finally realizing Trump is a dangerous fool. I know, wishful thinkingβ¦

For #Trump and #Musk it's an eternal battle between the #Producers and the #Parasites, the #Makers and the #Takers
For years the right has fed on conspiracy theories about the βglobalist billionaireβ Soros buying our democracy. Yet when Musk actually does it, itβs crickets.

Y'all see why I can't stand these horrific men going off about the so-called "existential risks of AI" while simultaneously telling us everyone should be replaced by "AI"? One of the best grifts of the 21st century.

The point is: It WAS an existential risk for #musk company BEFORE his #grok was working and WHILE slowing down #competition by #regulations was helping him to improve his company's standing.

NOW, with his #attacks on federal administrations and institutions it's not a threat, but a tool for him to gain more #influence, extract more money from #tax payers and redirect it into his #purse.
This is deliberate and is following a playbook.

@georgetakei the biggest Ponzi scheme in the USA was #usaid and the second biggest is the funding of #israel. Lining corporate farming and military suppliers. With #trump and #musk it is like watching the blind leading the blind.
When he calls social security scheme a βponzi schemeβ he is ignoring that giving to these people funnels money to small local businesses as apposed to the one he is in which is the government outsources federal services to people like him.
This is what weβve come to, and so quickly.

"...never physically hurt anyone"? Like Stalin?
The fact is that because #DOGE helped shut down #USAID people have died and many more will die as a result.
You can't push the button, and then deny that you had anything to do with the result of the button push.

@georgetakei Well, his #Tesla 'gigafactory' in Germany is once again in the headlines for worst working conditions, many illegal in Germany. One of the biggest unions made them public 4 days ago: https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/tesla-krankmeldungen-gruenheide-100.html
There is talk of a battlefield and human trafficking methods: https://www.focus.de/finanzen/menschenverachtendes-system-tesla-in-gruenheide-keine-lohnfortzahlung-mehr-fuer-laenger-erkrankte-mitarbeiter_id_260760683.html (you can read it with machine translation)

@georgetakei After the next electionβIF there is one in four yearsβ#PeteButtigieg will be the next president. Mark my words.
But watching #SenatorChrisMurphy explain the #corruption Trump and Musk have brought to the system in their first 6 weeks alone (!), makes me doubt there will be another election. Democracy does die in broad daylight after allβ¦

Prof Logsdon* expects big changes under #Trump, Mr #Musk and Mr #Isaacman: scrapping programmes, closing NASA centres and more contracting out to #SpaceX, #BlueOrigin and other private sector firms. "There is a delicate balance between the interests of #NASA, #Congress and the #WhiteHouse."
Mr Isaacman has called the #SLS "outrageously expensive" and said that the major aerospace contractors are "incentivised to be economically #inefficient". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn93797z2dpo
I guess renaming them Swasticars is off the table now.

@georgetakei In #Germany its especially noticeable: While the number of newly registered electric cars recovered by 53.5% (to 34500, after a massive drop last year because subsidies got gutted), registrations for #Tesla cars dropped by 60% (again) to merely 1277 cars.
Its not only #Musk s antics though, their main models here did not age well compared to the competition, while Musk tries to breed a pickup with a Dolorean for people who won't buy a EV....

They're gonna get people killed and in so doing also poison the public's view of #SpaceExploration, all because they cannot be bothered to buy an mf-ing generator or something that a f-ing 8th grader could sort out. This recklessness is bad and so typical of the apartheid space douche and his cascading bad ideas. All he does is accumulate money for himself and hurt others.
#Musk is a hazard to all living things, and some non-living things.

Footnotes:
β three points-safe - at least three independent components or safety features must fail simultaneously for major disaster happen.
β failover - NIST defines as the process of automatically switching to a backup system when the primary system fails. The goal of failover is to minimize or eliminate the impact on users and keep critical systems running.

"...a power outage at #SpaceXβs California facility caused a loss of #GroundControl, meaning that the mission control team was briefly unable to command the #spacecraft."
Single outage brought GROUND CONTROL down?! On the ground where power grids & diesel generators at a nearby home improvement store are! Have they never heard of battery backups and generators?! They have no idea what 3 points-safeβ means, nor failoverβ, and have no business trying to send so much as a spatula to #space.
