    Musk’s new job doesn’t have any power to do anything. He can lobby Trump, the same power he already had as a rich man who gave campaign contributions. Musk may be dangerous to the US government, but it’s not because he was given a fake title.

    reminder that musk’s successful companies have an entire team dedicated “managing” musk to have as little input into the actual business as possible.

        Democrats. They always have to fix the mess of the Republican shit-gibbons, and then get blamed when they don’t fix it fast enough. Or if doing it while being Blah. The fear of someone doing it while having a va-jay-jay is one so great that no women can get into office.

      Yeah. Companies with seagull managers probably manage to survive under dopey mantras like move fast and break things - or not - but it’s only a company.

      Seagull managers at the level of government - breaking things has a whole new meaning.
