Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"ONLY SOMEWHAT SUCCESSFUL"???? How many people's lives did he ruin for his own shitty failure of an experiment? How much critical expertise was ripped away from the government, never to return?
I remember the last time I felt any respect for Elon Musk was when he spoke out about climate change. Here's a quote:
The government is like the Earth's climate. You don't make drastic experimental changes and hope for the best. People have been studying governments for literally millennia, and the climate for decades.
Trying a huge change to the government without knowing ahead of time that it has a large chance of success (based on actual research), has got to be the stupidest type of experiment you can do with the government.
I guess the big difference between DOGE cutting jobs and ruining not only people's lives, but the government itself... The difference between DOGE doing that and humanity pumping as much carbon into the atmosphere as we can, is that one of them has the ability to actually affect Elon personally in the future. What a piece of irredeemable garbage he is.
How many children died from usaid cuts. I read recently that an estimated 600,000 people died just from the cuts to AIDS medicines.
Almost a half million in a few months.
That's partially on him. And everyone else who let him do that.
God only knows how many people he killed. He's a murderer.
And dont even get me started on his junk unscientific neuralink "experiments" on animals.
Which was being investigated by many of the departments he gutted.
He has maimed and killed (painful horrible deaths) so many animals based on junk science.
And is still doing it today.
