JFC... the inability to focus and comment on the point of the question and only fixate on George Soros is mind boggling!

Ok... let me possibly make it as simple as I can for those reading.

Would you all be OK if Obama brought in Oprah Winfrey to head a department where she would have the power to make cuts and changes to many facets of Government MENAWHILE, Harpo Entertainment has several contacts with the US Government and Obama was making commercials to promote OWN?
Of course not.

She's just some dolt from the media.

Likely her underlings would all be just as ignorant and vapid as she.

My main issue is the optics of the situation.
Can you honestly say it looks good that Musk is running DOGE and having a direct line to the President meanwhile.. still receiving government contracts and benefitting from the relationship?
Parallel would be the example I provided above. Would you be happy with it? Or, would you be upset about it simply because it would be Democrats doing it?
Who else could execute those contracts?

Again, FWIW - Elon has enunciated his rationale for doing what he is doing - like Dems who believe focusing on climate change will save the world, he believes that stopping the country from utter bankruptcy will do the same thing. He's said that clearly - if the U.S. goes under, the world will also.
That ^.

Just throwing this out there for consideration.....

If Obama had brought in George Soros in a capacity to be the head of an auditing department as his consultant... and was given military contracts to benefit from... would you all be OK with that?

And yes, I already know this is very "unpopular opinion" around these parts. Just trying to get an idea of what you all would think about that.

I wont speak to the optics, I care more about the reality. And as far as I know, there have been no new contracts since the election. Were these contracts to the Musk Foundation for indeterminate "support services" that were great places to launder money, I might agree. But these contracts are all public, with hard physical metrics that musts be met. And in virtually every case, they have over delivered.

Now, what about cases where the govt blatantly screwed one of his companies over? The FCC denial of Starlink being part of the Rural Broadband initiative based on old speed data, for instance. If that's fixed, it that favoritism or just correction of bias?

You bots say stupid sht like that, but Elon Musk and George Soros are ≠. Soros funds hard leftprog Democrat campaigns, riots, and pays DAs to let violent criminals go free; Elon Musk builds space programs, internet access, and medical innovations. Musk gets called a Nazi by morons; Soros WAS an actual Nazi.

Is this really what's in what passes for your "mind"? That George Soros and Elon Musk are EXACTLY the same? Or is it something you saw some other bot post and you thought it might make you sound intelligent? 🤪

I just like to know what I'm dealing with here.

Musk had those contracts long before Trump was President.

I note you didn't have a problem with Blackrock taking federal money while actively funding and promoting hard leftprog issues and influencing Biden/Obama. So really, blow it out your ass.

What I see is a company CEO who has contracts with the USG being able to directly affect government agencies due to their appointment and relationship with the President of the USA. Take any political affiliation out of the equation.
It just looks bad. No matter what letter is at the end of their name. If you don't see that... well, I can't help you.

Trump hasn't awarded any of the contracts Musk has. Biden did .

Hey... board mommy... just because you think you are omnipotent and know exactly what everyone else says and thinks, doesn't make it true.
Unlike you, I have the ability to NOT share every single opinion I possess.
But, since you brought it up... No.. that's not right either so...

You're big time in the weeds here. In fact Democrat presidents have appointed any number of people who have made cuts and changes, most of the time without our knowledge and certainly without our consent, and they have made millions of our tax dollars doing so.

Again, Musk had those contracts long before Trump.

And.. if ANY of those people that were appointed had ANY way to benefit from those decision then it is... WRONG!

So you are saying that Musk DOES have contracts from which he can benefit. That's a start....

FWIW - Elon is at least, not being paid for his advisory position, and has no authority other than to advise others on his findings. He has no ability to do anything. For all the bluster about an "unelected" person intervening in national affairs, we have over 600 judges more or less doing the same thing, and while appointed by various Presidents - none of them were elected either.

This is worth repeating for the slowies out there.

For the record, if a Democrat president appointed someone to root out waste and fraud, someone who actually DID it AND told us every single day what s/he was doing, I'd be all for it. The problem with that hypothetical is that Democrats are the ones engaging in the waste and fraud, and now jumping around like organ grinder monkeys because they've been busted.

Did you think it looked bad when Obama and Biden were in bed with Blackrock? Or are you just ranting now because the Tik Tok told you to?

The point being your mindless mob hypocrisy and obedience to cult leaders, not to mention complete ignorance as to what's going on in the world outside of your little hivemind.

We the People elected Trump to do exactly what he's doing. THAT is democracy, my friend, and you can get the **** over yourself.

Hello, slowie? They ALL did. And your bot brigade had no problem with it whatsoever, and in fact attacked anyone who questioned it.

So kindly **** off with your ignorance and hypocrisy.

Why focus on something that Soros is entirely incapable of accomplishing? He isn't about creating anything of use, he is about destroying. Look at what he did to a big chunk of the criminal justice system by installing his non-prosecutorial DAs. How did that work out for the people in those jurisdictions?

Because OC is a disingenuous tool .... comparing Apples to Oranges ...

and Musk had the contracts BEFORE Trump was elected
