  1. Shouldn’t Elon need to give up his role at SpaceX considering they are a military defense contactor? What does this mean for his role at Starlink since they also are a defense contractor? Or is being part of the government while being a contractor cool now? Don’t forget we are draining the swamp too.

    1. LOL they won’t give up those positions. DOGE is just a pump-and-dump scheme for Dogecoin and to siphon more money out of the Federal Government and into the pockets of themselves and their government-contracts. They’ll strip our capacity to administrate, defend, and fund ourselves so they can make more money (and to help their Russian Oligarch buddies and Putin).

      Everyone should have seen this coming a mile away.

    1. Drastic is a quote from Donald Trump’s team/announcement. Which is why it’s in quotes in the story and title.

    2. Don’t expect Vicki to have anything of substance to say. They’re in the group of people who voted for Trump like a good little tribalistic Republican without actually paying one iota of attention during this whole campaign cycle. They have no idea what’s coming and are still in the delusion that Trump’s first term was “fine” and that this will be somehow different for the better.
