So... SpaceX is one of the contractors not being paid right? Right?
L-m-a-o roflmao even
Great way to get sued for breach of contract. This administration is going to be tied up in court for the next four years
Unfortunately, when all this stuff is resolved, it's still the government that's on the hook, not Musk personally. Although the new admin should probably just impound all of his and Trump's assets to pay for the fallout, but obviously Democrats would never do anything this based.
Do you really think this is going to play out in a court? They don't care about the law and are actively plowing through them at will.
Does anyone know what the story is behind this charity he's mentioning?
Edit: looks like they feed and provide shelter for asylum seekers, and obviously he's against that.
Because Putin wants rid of it.
U.S.A.I.D. funds democracy-promotion programs around the world, including in European countries where right-wing populist movements are thriving. Mr. Musk has become an ally of those movements, some of whose leaders have specifically targeted the agency’s pro-democracy programs in recent years.
Supporters of Viktor Orban, the right-wing leader of Hungary and a darling of pro-Trump conservatives in the United States, have personally criticized Samantha Power, who led U.S.A.I.D. during the Biden administration, for trying to import American values into their country.
This is a great way to end up on the military-indistrial complex hitlist
A lot of our day to day military operations run on contractors. This seems like a good way to get more helicopters falling out of the sky.
Ah the Trump approach to contractors. And Musk approach to rent.
Hey military industrial complex! Please coup this administration all ready.
Like for real. They got rid of Malcolm, MLK, mayve even Kennedy, and organized a nationwide crack epidemic in black neighborhoods but they can't deal with the biggest actual internal threat since the Confederacy. Useless orgs filled with useless people.
