Every accusation, blah blah blah.Every federal employee needs to be fired, unless elected. Those people can spend money on things like golf outings.
the hired people were all partying on tax payer money. No useful work done.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Elon Musk says the US Government was "partying on taxpayer money."www.threads.com
Except that DOGE conducted no meaningful individualized assessment of the performance of the workers they fired. And the Trump administration dissolved the body responsible for determining according to evidence whether government employees were partying on taxpayer money.
Again, no assessment of this.
And Elon is one of those people who I just assume is lying without credible evidence otherwise.
I presume you've seen Glass Onion? While there's far less violence it has a very good tech billionaire villian
I have not decided if the movie was a parody of not. Anyway, it;s a Guilty Pleasure fro me.
I loved GLass Onion.
But Lex Luthor's supposed to be smart, isn't he? Oh, I see! The new movies are doing the whole Bizarro thing.
Truth.
Wasn't this the sort of thing that made HAL go nuts?
I don't know him personally so I can only judge based on his reported words and actions. And I haven't seen anything yet that indicates notable intelligence. Being in charge of other people who do intelligent things doesn't count.
As I've mentioned, Elon Musk is at least as smart as it takes to game financial systems and apply leverage accordingly. This can make a person very wealthy. And by some definitions of "businessman" it might qualify him as a genius businessman. But I define business as encompassing more than just the finance industry. Smart people can be dangerous, especially if they are committed to applying their intelligence in psychopathic ways. But it does not follow that dangerous people are necessarily smart. Toward that point, Elon Musk is mostly a bully in my estimation. That too can make you very wealthy.
And as I've mentioned before, it's the trivial instances that stick in my mind. As the world's richest man, and one of the world's most recognizable and notable figures, he does not have to lie about those kinds of things in order to maintain his reputation or his financial empire. He chooses to do so, likely because he desperately needs to maintain some illusion of his own superiority in literally every respect. A person who cannot accept even a trivial shortfall—e.g., that he isn't as good at computer games as he wishes—is dangerously insatiable. When he has the power to alter reality (and, in the process, affect other people) to make his beliefs seem more true to him, he becomes truly dangerous.
Yep!
And most of the time, they are celebrated for winning the race when they are often given the pole position on the last lap.

Probably no change was ever made. There was just a tipping-point where Muskrat's deranged AI feeds were overwhelmingly about SA's white apartheid, and it led to a positive feedback loop on the results. So even something as inane as teeth-whitening led directly into the abyss of Musk's Afrikaner Nazism.
Hey it sounds like all those checks and balances everyone else thinks are necessary are necessary! Who'd have thought that? Well those responsible for white genocide in South Africa of course!!

Elliott vs NCA: the inside story
Both fighters in the John Elliott-National Crime Authority boxing match seem to be running out of puff, writes Trevor Sykes.www.afr.com
Are they? Certainly not by many in this forum. But what does the evidence say?
But if you keep losing you probably won't stay in the game long enough to win. The chances of getting there by luck alone are remote. If someone seems to be making crazy moves and yet keeps winning, maybe the moves aren't all that crazy.
Yes, but The Great Zaganza didn't say that they are dumb, just that their intelligence is overrated. Yes, they're most likely smart, and need to be to be successful, but I suspect that a major factor in getting onto that list is luck, having the right idea at the right time.
Or family connections.
Or being aggressive enough to pillage and pilfer a successful going concern that someone else made a success first, then riding on their backs. E.g. Muskrat and Tesla, and SpaceX.
The main predictor of a person's wealth is their father's wealth. You really don't need any brains to be rich, just luck.
