Document work or resign, Doge says to US federal workers in email
The weekend email comes as Elon Musk leads an effort to aggressively curtail the government workforce.

At some point, he is going to use a lot of that money on research and perhaps the implementation of eternal life for himself if he is to follow the evil genius playbook faithfully.Musk is far, far wealthier than he was just a short while ago.
It wouldn't matter if X had fallen to $0 - but it hasn’t. It seems it could now be worth in the same ballpark as he paid for it.
xAI (Grok) has soared in value since creation not long ago.
SpaceX continues to increase in worth at a stratospheric (see what I did there?) rate.
The one thing we can’t cling onto is “Musk is losing money and he may soon see sense”.

Don’t forget the secret base inside an active volcano. And the space lasers, he’s going to need those.
Hopefully on Mars... I'll celebrate when he fxcks off there

I think if I owned a Tesla, I’d be looking to sell ASAP whilst it’s still worth something. It must be galling owning one of those knowing that you’ve added to Musk’s wealth and influence (if you have a conscience).
Don't resign guys, force them to pay you off at leastIs this the worst case of micro-management bullying in history?

I'm starting to go through my (small) investments, most US stocks will be sold in a few weeks. It'll probably reduce my future gains, but I don't care.
I'm waiting to hear if there any anti Trump/musk talk from the big guys: Bezos, Zuckerberg, Gates...

I hope many more follow suit.
Yep, I haven't read any Trump/Musk pushback yet from US company leaders...maybe I've missed it? Are they ALL terrified of them or in love with the direction of travel?

Any sane person can see that what is happening isn’t right, I’m not sure where it’ll come from but surely there will be pushback.

Do Trump and Musk avoid talking about EVs? Trump is very anti them and Musk owns Tesla.
I've only read pushback from Democrats, and a few very old Republicans enjoying their retirement.
Neuralink is the key yes. Eternal life, or at least eternal existence. His power is not about cars or "X".

BNP if they are still going. Something with racial supremacist doctrine. I admit its getting a bit blurred, clearing up the mess the left has caused has never been far right but is always labelled as such.

It’s not looking good, sadly. Zuck is already firmly in cuck territory.
The rich tend to be more concerned with their own interests, silence combined with masterly inactivity is probably the best we can hope for.

Bill Gates warns of millions of deaths if Trump and Musk don't reinstate axed foreign aid funding
The philanthropist warned that if aid funding out of the world's largest economy continues to dwindle, millions of lives will be on the line.
I don't think Gates can be tarred with the same brush as the tech oligarchs. Fundamentally a good un I think
Yes, just read a good article on Al Jazeera saying most US tech knobs are happy so far, as they'll see less regulation and possibly lower taxes.
They don't think any deeper than that.
