As the hyenas pick at the corpse of the once proud United States, they occasionally snap at each other.
"A hyenas belly is never full"- hyena from LK
I heard David Attenborough reading this comment in my head.
Well... At least watching the robber barons rip each other apart may be mildly entertaining. It's like the WWF goes to Capitol Hill.
The problem is that one of them will end up on top at the end still.
I hope Musk drops out though. Because with the e-mail he sent to all the FBI employees he is making some serious enemies right now. The moment he loses protection, he will be thoroughly investigated and I can't wait to see the long list of things that will be uncovered.
that's a good point. Musk has pissed everyone in the government off. I imagine that many of those sympathetic to Musk in the regulatory and law enforcement agencies don't appreciate the ways in which he's inserted himself in this conflagration and his immensely heavy handed approaches.
US military contractors get away with genocide. He won’t be Investigated as long as Tesla or SpaceX holds contracts.
Lockheed, Boeing, and NG are way more ingrained than Space X and would love to clear away a competitor. And they have no morals and will happily strike during a moment of weakness. Should at least be entertaining as the country collapses.
lol wow, I can’t believe I’m actually rooting for Boeing to pull this again with Musk. Absolutely wild.
He will just tell his pet trump to tell them to back off
Not really comparable since the whole US government is complicit.
Them fighting each other also give them less time to do horrible things. Yes, they will still do some bad things while they fight, but it takes up some of their time and hurts their sense of unity. It reduces the damage a bit. It also inspires other outside the government to fight back too
Every little bit of delay and harm reduction is something we're going to need
EDIT: also worth mentioning that now other agencies are also pushing against musk now that Patel is. Resistance is often something that spreads once it is normalized
I can't imagine this is a legal way to get rid of federal employees. Hell, I doubt this is a legal way to get rid of ANY employees.
Since when do the orange utan and his goons care about legality?
Orange utan is not only a new one(to me), it is the best one.
I prefer Fanta Fascist
I prefer the portmanteau, Fantascist, as it mixes the two and also suggests fantasist.
I have been calling him The Orange Fart, cause that’s what a trump is in British, but I prefer yours.
Mango Mussolini is one of the originals I still love
At least Patel is an actual thing. Who is this Musk person inside the government? Apparently no one.
An unelected Nazi loser. Congress would love to demand questions of him but republicans are blocking that. For now...
Either that or he's preparing to spring something even worse on them. Such as: "Don't bother explaining what you do and just pack your things."
Multiple agencies are now also doing the same thing. I find it unlikely this was planned by DOGE as it is massively embarrassing to Musk and makes him look weak
Either that or he's preparing to spring something even worse on them.
For someone who is not a gamer, he has managed speedrunning becoming the biggest douche in history
If not physically, then DEFINITELY in spirit.
