Don't governerment officials have to pass a background check and drug screning? |
This isn't real government. This is just an "afterschool club" that has no real role/power. |
It will be subject to FACA though, which will make it quite amusing. |
Shadow government |
He will lose interest once the government commits to replacing the government vehicles with teslas |
They also need to do financial disclosures and to divest any investments that might pose a conflict of interest. I was asked to sell all of my Microsoft and Amazon stock when I was in federal IT. How can a guy who owns a car company and an aerospace company and an IT company not have a conflict of interest if he's going to be telling regulators of those industries how to be more efficient? |
The entire Trump Administration is a billionaire money making scheme. Why else would Elon be participating in this? He surely doesn’t give a damn about the cost of eggs. They need deregulation and a removal of public services to make more room for private corporate interests. |
I read somewhere the Trump wants to effectively bypass background checks: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/27/us/politics/trump-security-clearances-fbi.html |
Do you really not understand? No high level Trump administration official will be doing any of this. And no one will make them. It’s spun, baby. |
This reminds me of Paw Patrol. |
Oh it will have power. But you're correct that this is not real if real is what has existed in the US Executive Branch up to this point in history. We are in entirely new territory. |
If they don't have laws and statutes to back their powers and actions up, they will take a beating in the courts. |
![]() Love that they picked two people to do one job for the new agency tasked with eliminating inefficiencies |
No they don't. That is why it is structured this way. It is just an outside advisory group for Elon and Vivek to play pretend. Trump can take their 'advice' and/or blame them for anything that goes wrong. |
