'Trump is having an impact': NATO head credits president's tough talk for $100B boost​

Got any links proving that Trump would disband NATO? ANS: No, because Trump can't disband NATO dumbass, its European.

G is the single biggest fraud on the board.

The man who literally reinvented the space travel industry, the automotive industry and the communications industry?

The man who you credited as being the most reponsible for saving the planet before you realized that he was for free speech on his planet?

Damn you a clown.

Please explain your statements.

And daddy's emerald mine, but who keeps track of such things?
Trust fund babies tend to really impress conservatives, for some reasons.
So, Musk cult bois, specifically what did Elon Musk invent that shows he's a genius?

Becoming the world's richest man is enough proof for me, that and his list of major companies. Imagine running these companies at the same time in today's competitive world.

The Complete List of Elon Musk Companies

Musk founded quite a few companies most people are familiar with, but not everyone knows the role Musk has played in their success.

SpaceX​

To reduce the cost of space exploration, Musk created SpaceX in 2002. SpaceX designs, manufactures, and launches advanced aircraft.
Since its founding, SpaceX has launched 246 rockets and spacecraft, 207 of which successfully landed. Its most recent mission on July 15, dubbed the “Starlink Mission,” saw Falcon 9 launch 54 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40.
SpaceX is the only private company to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit and take humans to and from the International Space Station. The company believes in the power of a reusable rocket; it has reflown 183 of its own to embody this philosophy.
The company, valued at over $100 billion, is one of the most valuable private companies in the world.

X, Previously Known as Twitter​

The acquisition of Twitter — now known as X — by Musk spanned from April to October 2022. In January of the same year, Musk began buying shares of the American social media site before becoming its largest shareholder in April. When Musk offered to purchase the company, Twitter’s board of directors unanimously accepted his $44 billion offer.
Musk’s goals for the social media site include promoting free speech, ridding of "bot” accounts, and making its algorithm open-source. While Musk had plans to terminate the agreement, he officially took over as owner and CEO of the company on October 27, 2022, and Twitter was taken private. In July 2023, Musk rebranded Twitter, naming it X.

xAI​

On July 12, 2023, Musk announced via Twitter the launch of a new artificial intelligence (AI) company, xAI. With a goal to "understand the true nature of the universe,” some of the team’s members include previous employees of Google Research, DeepMind, and Microsoft Research.According to xAI’s website, the company is separate from X Corp but will work closely with Twitter and Tesla to accomplish its mission. Musk plans to position the company to compete with the companies behind chatbots like ChatGPT.

The Boring Company​

Musk founded American construction company The Boring Company in 2016. Its projects are primarily designed for intra-city transit systems to solve traffic challenges and enable point-to-point transportation.
According to its website, The Boring Company believes major cities need either flying cars or tunnels in order to get rid of traffic. Musk settled on the latter solution because tunnels aren’t impacted by weather changes and “won’t fall on your head.”
In April 2021, The Boring Company introduced its first project at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The company created two parallel tunnels measuring 1.7 miles long, each with Tesla vehicles carrying passengers to their desired destination across the center.

Neuralink Corporation​

Musk is also the owner and co-founder of Neuralink Corporation, a neurotechnology company developing implantable brain-machine interfaces. The company’s main goal is to create brain implants that can communicate with phones and computers as well as help people with paralysis regain independence.
“Our devices are designed to give people the ability to communicate more easily via text or speech synthesis, to follow their curiosity on the web, or to express their creativity through photography, art, or writing apps,” Neuralink’s website states.
As of thisyear, the total investment in the company is around $5 billion.

Zip2​

Although Zip2 is no longer in business, it was the first enterprise Musk founded back in 1995. The company provided a searchable business directory — basically an “internet version of the yellow pages” with maps included.
The company’s mission, according to Musk, was “that everyone ought to be able to find the closest pizza parlour and to be able to figure out how to get there.” In 1999, Compaq Computer Corporation acquired Zip2 for $307 million.

OpenAI​

Musk founded OpenAI, a nonprofit research and development company, in 2015. Although he resigned from the board in 2018, he remains a major donor. The company is a DeepMind competitor with the goal of ensuring that “artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.” OpenAI is one of the leading AI research labs in the world, with the ultimate goal of being the first company to design a machine with the learning and reasoning powers of a human mind.

Tesla​

The company Musk is probably most well known for is Tesla. An American electric vehicle and clean energy company, Tesla has made headlines since its founding in 2003 thanks to its advancements in the automotive industry and its clean energy efforts.
Tesla hopes to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy by producing energy storage systems such as solar panels and solar roof tiles, as well as batteries for electric vehicles. While the company has a number of accolades under its belt, it notably designed the first premium all-electric sedan. The company currently holds the spot as the number one automotive company in the world, with a market cap of $910 billion.

SolarCity​

Tesla also acquired SolarCity, a company focused on door-to-door sales of solar energy generation systems. The company, which was founded in 2004 by two of Musk’s cousins, was acquired by Tesla in 2016 for $2.6 billion. However, some investors didn’t approve of the deal, as Musk had ties to the founders and “overpaid for SolarCity, ignored their own conflicts of interest and failed to disclose ‘troubling facts’ essential to a rational analysis of the proposed deal.”

PayPal​

This one may be a shock, but Musk is also a co-founder of PayPal. PayPal is a multinational financial technology company that works as an electronic alternative to checks or money orders by supporting online money transfers. Founded in 1998, PayPal merged with Musk’s former company, X.com, in 2000. Since then, PayPal has become a Fortune 500 company and had its best year yet in 2020 with nearly 73 million net new accounts.

Congress NEVER wants to cut spending or lose ANY jobs in their districts.

correct, and Congress is all that matters in these matters.

In the name of "efficiency"...

A convicted felon with three pending indictments wants to defund the police.

And his blind cult can't see right through his motives.



A convicted felon who was caught cheating on his taxes to the tune of over a quarter billion dollars wants to eliminate the new IRS agents hired to more closely audit people earning more than $400,000 a year.

And his blind cult can see right through his motives.


What a bunch of dummies.

The Gingrich Congress did.

Proof of what?

By the way, Putin is the richest man on Earth. By far.

So does that prove being a mass murdering dictator-for-life is really cool?

Also, Trump's a billionaire and he is as dumb as a bag of hammers. He got where he is today by being a total psychopath. Like Jim Jones.

One of my recommendations has always been to have another "Grace Commission" to study the Federal government and eliminate waste. fraud and abuse. It could also make major cost cutting recommendations like sending Welfare and Medicaid back to the States. Some changes would require legislation, others could be by Executive Orders.
The Grace Commission failed, it would have save the US from DEBT, but Congress never supported their money saving recommendations.

Trump Says Musk Will Lead New ‘Government Efficiency Commission’—Here’s What We Know About It

Trump is expected to detail his plans for the commission, if elected to another term, in a speech Thursday.

www.forbes.com

Key Facts​

• The commission will be “tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government” and make “recommendations for drastic reforms,” Trump said in his speech Thursday at the Economic Club of New York.
• Musk has agreed to lead the commission, Trump said—and while Musk has not commented since Trump’s speech Thursday, he has repeatedly said in the past he would be open to serving on the commission.
• The group’s first order of business, Trump said, will be formulating a plan to “totally eliminate fraud and improper payments within six months.”
• Musk has repeatedly raised the idea for such a commission, describing it as one that would ensure “taxpayers’ money . . . is spent in a good way,” and telling Trump he would be “happy to help out” during a live chat on X last month.
• Trump and his advisers have been discussing for months the formulation of a group led by business executives that would comb government spending for excess, the Washington Post reported earlier this week.
• In response to the Washington Post report, Musk wrote “can’t wait” and that there is “a lot of waste and needless regulation in government that needs to go” on X.

Musk may be conflicted and unable to divest. Even without Musk this commission needs to happen.

I was wondering where musk would end up in a trump administration. I was thinking “tech czar” or something of that nature.

Hmm..efficiency. I guess the government could certainly use more of that.

Good to see the blob nakedly admitting that if you give him enough money, you can rewrite the constitution.

Why didn’t he do it the first time?

Huh? Explain..what runs afoul of the cotus here?

 

[okfine]

Do you know who he is?

I knew you couldn't answer. You're nothing but a troll.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Becoming the world's richest man is enough proof for me, that and his list of major companies. Imagine running these companies at the same time in today's competitive world.

Does he actually run each of those companies or just own them?

 

[ThisIsMe]

Mmm..hmmm. Sure.

You realize there are only 2 ways to change the cotus, right? Neither of which musk can do, nor even Trump.

Years ago we had one we affectionately called a 'Razor Gang".

"Political metaphor
[edit]
The term "razor gang" is used in Australian political discourse to refer to a group – often a committee – tasked with finding ways to cut government spending. It was first widely applied to the Fraser government's Review of Commonwealth Functions Committee, which was established in 1980 as a subcommittee of federal cabinet.[16][17] It had three members – Industry and Commerce Minister Phillip Lynch (chairman), Treasurer John Howard, and Finance Minister Margaret Guilfoyle. The committee's report, handed down in May 1981, found 350 government functions that it believed could be eliminated, reduced, or transferred to other levels of government. This was to produce savings of $500 million.[18] Other notable "razor gangs" have been established by the Rudd government (a group of about ten Department Finance officers) and the Abbott government (the Commission of Audit, comprising five commissioners appointed from outside the government).[19][20]"

He didn't protect free speech. He has enabled disinformation.

Who determines what disinformation is? Seems like a lot of that stuff that was labeled disinformation in the last has turned out to be true, so whoever is the determiner of misinfo isn’t doing a good job.

1. Elon Musk is the world's richest person, about $260b
2. Elon Musk is a certified GENIUS. His companies are amazing. If something fucks up he fixes it. Look at Boeing and SpaceX, which one has a better space shuttle?

Elon Musk now owns Twitter. Here are the busy billionaire's 4 other companies and what they all do.

The world's richest man now runs Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX alongside two smaller start-ups, Neuralink and The Boring Company.

Nah, Elon has tossed is hat in with Trump so as far as the left are concerned, Elon is the devil!

Any info that does not support Democrat Party positions is misinformation at best or partisan disinformation .

Hmm..efficiency. I guess the government could certainly use more of that.

I don't see how Musk would be unable to resist the urge to rig the government to work in favor of his investments.

It's like I said. Considering how Trump's administration was the most corrupt in history, with a record number of imprisonments, scandals, falls from grace, disbarments, resignations, and debasement, it would take some truly craven and stupid gutter slime to sign up to work for Trump going forward.

Musk would be well served to run as far away from Trump as possible.

Hmm, why was the amount set at $400,000…seems arbitrary…or very convenient…
