LETS CANCEL SPACEX's CONTRACTS!!!!

[OccamsRazor]

Except you seem to be glossing over that Musk and his personal endeavors would more than likely benefit at a greater level then if he wasn't involved at all.

Not glossing over. From the start I have said "Optics" and "Perception is reality." The whiff of impropriety suggests it could be there and is not a good look.

He just wants it to be someone on his team instead of working for Trump. He was okay with unelected shadowbots blatantly stealing our money when it was under Obama and Biden. Now Musk, under Trump, is fixing it and he wants to blow a gasket.

If it were literally Oprah in charge and playing kissyface with Kamala Harris he'd be stanning like a bitch.

Are you just plain f*ucking DUMB! How many times must someone say it before it gets through your cult-hooded, thick skull?

I DON'T CARE WHO IT IS.... WRONG IS WRONG. NO MATTER WHAT PARTY THEY REPRESENT OR WHO THEY ARE!!!!!

I'll just take YOUR advice....

Trying to have discussions with ignorant brainwashed cultists is an exercise in futility.

If I knew the answer to our country's issues and knew the exact correct measures to take, I would be doing it instead of arguing with internet strangers... just like you are.
All I know is what I know as a citizen and voter with critical thinking skills. It doesn't look good when someone with that much power of suggestion to the President can be in a position to profit.

And here folks, is a perfect example of those 3 Ds Limblips mentioned....
You should offer up a Masterclass in obfuscation...you're very good at it...

Im sorry you cannot understand what I am trying to convey. I cannot simplify any more than this.....

Hang on, are you going to invoke all five physical senses? Everything you have mentioned is truly subjective, based on nothing more than your feelings. Maybe you could throw a fact or two into the discussion, you know, a little bit of reality.

 

[vraiblonde]

WRONG IS WRONG. NO MATTER WHAT PARTY THEY REPRESENT OR WHO THEY ARE!!!!!

And yet you only bitch when it's Trump.

So feel free to go **** your hypocrite self.

And you still haven't shown any "wrong", just that you don't like it because you don't like Trump and Musk. "Well mah *perception* is that it's bad, m'kay, because ORANGE MAN BAD!!!"

When the concepts, constructions and assumptions of your theory are all flawed, there's no reason to go any further.

Musk is not benefitting from the position. It is clear to see.

In fact it's costing him.

The contracts in question, were negotiated and implemented under a previous administration and provide no avenue of enrichment by the activities of DOGE. If he arbitrarily backs out of them, he'd be in breach and subject to penalties.

Alternate hypothesis: Should utilizing intelligent, critically thinking people in the private sector, with nothing new to gain, be prohibited because a Democrat claims it looks bad?

 

[CPUSA]

And I'm sorry you refuse to clarify it...instead you insist on obfuscation...
You have alot of what ifs...but you don't offer up any suggestions...you just keep saying, "I know...but the optics..."
SCREW THE OPTICS and let Trump & Musk keep doing what they're doing because so far...IT'S WORKING...

Again, you're not offering up ANY SUGGESTIONS...only asking questions?
You haven't offered up YOUR choice who you think might be better than Musk...just that it might be ANYONE...Well I can assure it isn't ANYONE, because I sure as hell wouldn't want ME to be that anyone...I'd embezzle the Chit outta the Billions I found & throw up deuces on my way to Bora Bora (peace out, my niggas!!)
You haven't offered up anything that you think Musk has done is shady or illicit...only "the optics look bad..."
You haven't even offered up your own opinion how Obama's or Biden's transparency was different to Trump's. ( And I didn't say better or worse...just looking for YOUR OPINION how it was different)

You have a lot of questions...but no suggestions...why is that?

 

[PeoplesElbow]

Except you seem to be glossing over that Musk and his personal endeavors would more than likely benefit at a greater level then if he wasn't involved at all.

And looking good is nothing more then a subjective point of view and may not be objectively factual. Occam's Razor may not be the correct answer only the simplest.

I'm sure there was a time you had to spend more government money than really needed to be spent to avoid the civil service/contractor personal favor impropriety optics.

I'll get back to you when you provide those Linkies I asked for from your last idiotic assumption... sweetie

I'm not doing your work for you. I've played this game before: I take the time to run down the links and you ignore them.

You want to believe ORANGE MAN BAD! TESLA MAN BAD! so go right ahead. Nothing anyone can say will deter you. You've been proven wrong any number of times right in this thread by several different people, and yet still you persist.

So I can't think of a reason why I'd waste any more time with you.

 

[OccamsRazor]

And I'm sorry you refuse to clarify it...instead you insist on obfuscation...

Clarify an opinion based on what I believe?
How does one clarify a belief to those who will refuse.. to their dying breath.. to accept it as belief?
FACTS:
- Donald Trump is the POTUS
- Donald Trump appointed Elon Musk as head of DOGE
- Elon Musk's companies hold several contracts with the US Government
- Elon Musk's role as head of DOGE is to investigate fraud, abuse, and monetary waste with Government agencies
- Donald Trump accepts Elon Musk findings and decides based on them
- Elon Musk could potentially profit from the decisions of Donald Trump based on Elon Musk's findings

Does no one else believe, after seeing these FACTS, that there is an opportunity for bad things to happen?

BAM!!! Just like the sunrise....

If i am a bot... Linkies please??? Shouldn't be hard to find ALL those bad, bad posts I made about Daddy... AmIright?
My wager is that you will offer a pithy reply like "I don't have the time BLAH, BLAH, BLAH..."

 

[glhs837]

Sure is. And its incumbent upon Musk, the govt, and the press to make sure that no such things happens.

 

[Kyle]

BAM!!! Just like the sunrise....

Yes. You do the exact same thing every time.

Just like the sunrise.

Why should you get a different response?

 

[OccamsRazor]

Sure is. And its incumbent upon Musk, the govt, and the press to make sure that no such things happens.

Huh? You are saying it is incumbent on the person who has the opportunity and stands to profit to make sure they don't profit?
Well, at least you admit that there is a chance for it to happen which is exactly what I am saying.

You should use your self-proclaimed critical thinking skills to think about why you are an army of one on this and nearly everything else you post. You should also apply those skills you claim to have to figure out how deep you want to dig your hole this time.

Sure, I mean it's possible I could start popping wheelies on my 1250cc motorcycle through the gate but it's incumbent upon me to make sure I don't do that. There's a chance but it's pretty damn slim. I never said there wasn't a chance. I would just rate it as an incredibly low probability given the amount of eyeballs on the situation.

I realize just as much as anyone who is on this forum for even a short period of time will definitely come to the conclusion that the hive mind is large and buried deep within a thick, thick skull. Just never imagined that the cult would be so "insulted" by even the opinion of a belief against their leader. I mean, I KNOW that board mommy is all but at least there appears to be a few that think for themselves and can see what I am speaking about.
