[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those who have been saying Elon is acting like he's in government already might have given someone an idea:

Is this even legal? Is democracy dying already?

Yes it is perfectly legal but he would never do it. It is easier to just veto everything and walk away. G[b]overning means you have to get something done[/b]. Anarchist just have to throw a wrench in the gears.[/quote]

Really?  Have you watched the Republicans -- their idea of governing is not "getting something done".  Their idea of governing is taking it all apart -- whether by defunding it or blowing it up.  Having Musk as Speaker would just give cover to elected Rs -- they get to say, "we didn't wreck it, he did".  But, they want to wreck it, because they think all government is bad.  OK - they are in charge, so FAFO.

Personally, I think it's appalling that an unelected billionaire with significant government contracts is in charge of anything in the USG.  Worse, the way DOGE is set up, it is deliberately designed to avoid any ethics obligations, because Musk isn't being "paid" by the USG.

You know what I think is appalling?

25% of that is Trump's tax cuts for the billionaires. And he wants to spend more on more tax cuts for billionaires. [/quote]
