This is fucking hilarious! More proof, maybe the best proof, of how much of a dumbass Muskrat is.

This dipshit thinks he can save the country 2 trillion dollars by firing government workers.
Even if he fired every single government position in the entire country, he couldn't make up 2 fucking trillion dollars out of that. The budget for payroll is, what? Like 15% of the total spending?
He doesn't genuinely think that's true. It's all a grift.

"High-IQ" aka boot lickers who agree with everything Musk says or does and are willing to do so for no compensation. And let's consider those who have the financial means "work" for free. The over privileged fundees who think they earned their wealth by hard work even those its all daddy's money... Rining any bells? Unpaid positions are exactly what we don't need to help with combat our economic woes anyways.
I don't know about you all but as soon as Trump was elected I immediately resolved to cut my personal spending by as much as humanly possible. I've already canceled many of my subscription services and I have reduced my use of Amazon and other online purchases to absolute zero. I'm going to work on paying down every dime of debt I owe as soon as possible and save every penny. Because shit's going to get fucked in the next 4 years with these clowns in charge. It's gonna be a light Christmas in my household this year.
I highly recommend you all do the same. Don't be the last one holding the bag when the music stops and reality sets in. For example, look at the people in the UK after Brexit.
The UK was shit before Brexit, it was 14 years of austerity policies (read: cut health services, cut benefits, cut social housing, deregulation of services, legalisation of toxic dumping, I can go on...) by a right-wing "fiscally responsible" government who has left the current one with a sizeable financial black hole.... that has brought the country to its knees.
If we had Brexit but still maintained public services, there's a good chance the country would have been fine.
If we had Brexit but still maintained public services, there's a good chance the country would have been fine.
It's almost as if you couldn't...
Well, I hear you. The NHS was dependent on an international talent of overworked nurses who dried up once Brexit went into effect. That indeed would have suffered regardless under any government. But cutting benefits, awarding billions of taxpayer money to non-existent PPE firms, and generally spitting on the public could have been mitigated I feel

Last time I checked my IQ it was 129. Not super high but not trump level
Can this department kick it off by eliminating itself, since it’s a wish.com version of https://www.gao.gov/
It’s really great that his government efficiency department is in fact duplicative. An excellent microcosm
They will make their money by fleecing the government of course.
At least they're too cheap and lazy to properly push their fascist takeover.
It's just gonna be rich failsons who are loving off their trust funds. It's gonna be bad

Just to make sure I understand. Musk is going to run an orgination who will advise the federal government to cut regulations that are in the way of him making more money. And this is in no way a conflict of interest.
That's specifically why it won't be a government agency. So they won't be bound by any ethics rules. Make no mistake, this is not a silly one-off. This is the first step of privatizing the government.

So... if I apply for a super high IQ job that's unpaid, does that prove I'm under qualified?
Yeah the real intelligence test is whether or not you apply, and if you do, you've already failed.
IS use to mean Information System. It now means Intellectual Slavery.
You can't just make a department. Sorry Leon, only maga morons believe that. The actual government and CONSTITUTION work differently than what you think...
Yeah, they would also need the other two institutions to pull this off. Oh wait, shit. Well the supreme court should be able to stop this. Oh wait, fuck.

Spoiler
Lot's of people are gonna apply, cause the payment is the chance for grifting
So you need to be rich enough to not need the salary, morally flexible enough to work for Elmo, and stupid enough to brag about your IQ.

lol good luck picking candidates among highly intelligent incels and maga members
High IQ people only wanted to do paid work for SpaceX because going to space is amazing.
I'm fairly sure none are working because of him though
Even paid work for any other Musk jobs would be an act of desperation. Fortunately, I suspect the unemployment rate will grow with Trump in charge.. Because it is likely more profitable to beg than make minimum wage (and he won't be increasing it). So maybe he will find people.
Maybe he should ask Trump since everything he does is the best and has never been done better or before.
