ich überlege nach diesem artikel, meine unterstützung für die taz zurückzuziehen. nicht, daß mein geld anteilig noch den tesla der autorin mitfinanziert. fände ich ein solches geschreibsel im bayernkurier, würde mich das nicht mehr weiter wundern. aber in der taz?
kommentieren durfte ich dieses glanzstück von ignoranz und verblödung auch nicht.

Kontroverse um Elon Musk: Warum ich mir trotz allem einen Tesla kaufe https://taz.de/Kontroverse-um-Elon-Musk/!6071768

"[W]hile emptying the pockets of working people, the #DOGE crew are lining their own. Even as #Musk claimed that DOGE was slashing government spending, his own firms received billions in government contracts."

"#Musk wants to radically remake or even destroy the state, but the agency heads will be held accountable for what happens as a result—and they don’t want to take the blame for the disasters that Musk is unleashing."

If your rep or senators are Cons ask them why they haven't demanded Elon take a drug test.

Should he really be rampaging thru the Civil Service if he's not clean?

“Billionaires didn’t become billionaires by finding savings for you; they became billionaires by finding ways to take your savings.”

A.R. Moxon

NO DEM VOTES!!!

For any gov't funding until the Orange Psychopath Resigns, and all the Doge Bags are forcefully removed from our civil service.

The phrase has become ubiquitous. So let's break it down.

Fraud is a crime. So if you have evidence of fraud report the crime.

Abuse in the context of gov't spending??? WTF does that even mean?!? It's absurd.

Waste? OK. What do you think is wasteful? What evidence do you have that it can be done cheaper or better? Let's see what you got?

This is Eric.

Until last Friday, Eric was a Wildlands firefighter working in the national parks service. He spent last summer fighting the Wildfires in California. And last Friday he got deleted.

Why? Because of his title, which was "Natural Scientist" he was put on probation and removed even though up until then, he had excellent reviews.

Now he was protesting in #chicago, because #DOGE and #Musk took his career from him.

He put his life in the line for Americans fighting fires near #SiliconValley, and this is how they repay him.

When your moderate or under informed friends and family talk about who DOGE is cutting, this is who they are cutting, show them Eric. Tell them his story.

"[W]e are witnessing something new: the convergence of three strains of politics that have never simultaneously been this proximate to power [..] the Wall Street–#SiliconValley nexus of distressed debt and startup culture; anti–New Deal #conservativeThinkTanks; and the extremely online world of #anarchocapitalism and right-wing accelerationism." - #QuinnSlobodian

What is #DOGE?

"In the first weeks of his second term, President Donald #Trump has intentionally used 'shock and awe' tactics. #NaomiKlein joins Mehdi Hasan on ‘Unshocked’ to unpack Trump’s seemingly endless series of draconian #executiveOrders, including ending #DEI in the government, freezing federal money and grants, and ordering ICE to raid migrant communities – including in church!"
