Man, I like this dude. I always have. Might not agree with some of his views, but he is a good dude overall in my opinion.
That said..... the boy better get his act together.
That SpaceX disaster seems an apt reflection of how his time in the Trumpy Administration has gone so far. Destructing after launch and raining debris and trash down everywhere might be an omen. Tesla crashing. Twitter crashing. SpaceX on a failure streak. Already getting his wings clipped by Trumpy. Letting a former intern fire the nuclear team. Claiming there was $50M spent on condoms for Gaza. DOGE can't seem to find it's footing and contradicting claims abound about who even runs it. Hurting Little Rubio's feelings with a horrible job performance review.
Some of this is laughable. But he better pull it together if he wants to be remembered as a decent Vice President. :D

SpaceX just had a space plane that has been orbiting for over a year on secret missions return safely.
Hush-hush Space Force missions.

I see space x launches almost weekly from vandenberg. Starlink stuff, guv satellites , commercial satellites. Tesla doesnt have more recalls than the big three do. Failures in any new lift vehicles are not unusual in new models

I’d say this dude just has too many plates spinning in the air and some are bound to come crashing down. He needs to focus on what he’s supposed to be doing, driving innovation rather than jerking off at the White House. It’s the same as Boeing focusing on DEI and not building safe planes. When you take your focus off of what you’re supposed to be doing, things suffer.

The guys a whackjob, but who cares, they all are.
Bidens a kid-rapist (own daughter) and Kamel is just a whore who sucked caulk. (Like Prime Semen Guzzler).
Like the shitter admin, life goes on and will continue to do so... We got out of this 4 years of the worst and most corrupt admin in history.
We'll move FWD w/ this one as well...

Elon is an autistic Tony Stark.
Be glad he's on our side.

Now I see Carlos Slim yanked $7B from Starkink contract with Elon now and cancelled a $20B future investment.
Dude going to be hitting those shrooms heavy.

Although I am sure Musk can get up to some Starkink as well.

I like a lot of people.. Not sure I would put them in charge with conflicting interests and I would certainly reign them in when they fire people haphazardly .

The kvnts that worry/complain about Autistic Elon (and TDS), probably should have been watching their own corrupt, evil, kid-molesting party...

Explain how you came up with the idea that I am at the receiving end of that corruption? And what corruption would this be?
Note: You might want to correct the wording in your last sentence, so it makes sense. Perhaps you can explain what exactly this 'corruption gravy train' is.

To Republicans, Conservatives, and all great Americans, Elon Musk is “putting it on the line” in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s great automakers, and Elon’s “baby,” in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for. They tried to do it to me at the 2024 Presidential Ballot Box, but how did that work out? In any event, I’m going to buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk, a truly great American. Why should he be punished for putting his tremendous skills to work in order to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN???

Buy your new Tesla at Whitehouse Auto, located on what was formerly the front lawn of the Whitehouse. LOL!
Someone forgot to inform genius Trump that boycotting a business in not illegal... yet. Someone also neglected to mention to them that it is illegal to use federal property the way Donald Trump and Elon Musk did yesterday. Apparently neither one of them knows this... or could care less.

Trumpy bought a Telsa. Can this man even drive? Anything other than a golf cart on grass? After the crypto, trading cards, Bible and sneakers, this man's supporters don't have much spending money left.
Buying weed in the store and eggs on the street. What a change of times.

Maybe they could get a few Trannies & drag queens also to keep you Happy.

This 'libtard' has never bought a Tesla and I probably never will. With as few miles as I drive, there is no way to justify purchasing an electric vehicle at this time. Sometimes, there are two months between fill ups. My 2016 Mazda CX3 with a total of 34,000 miles on it, has an eleven-gallon gas tank, suggesting I average using somewhere around 5 gals. of gasoline a month. I average 28 mpg, with mostly city driving.

So what you are saying is that after helping make Elon the richest man on the planet, their virtue signaling then also made him the world record holder for the biggest personal loss in history?

$200 billion
According to Guinness World Records, between 2021 and 2023 Elon Musk suffered the greatest loss of a personal fortune in history. His loss, which was on paper and due primarily to a drop in Tesla's share price, amounted to nearly $200 billion

But unfortunately not at all surprising. Surely, you can find some better way to kill time. FYI, I have no interest in Tesla's never have and still don't.
The only fire I have caused recently was when put some Kirkland Sous Vide Egg bites on a piece of parchment paper in the air-fryer a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately, nothing was burned, not even the Egg Bites. LOL!

Elon Musk’s business empire is built on $38 billion in government funding
Government infusions at key moments helped Tesla and SpaceX flourish, boosting Musk’s wealth.
By Desmond Butler

February 26, 2025
Elon Musk and his cost-cutting U.S. DOGE Service team have been on a mission to trim government largesse. Yet Musk is one of the greatest beneficiaries of the taxpayers’ coffers.
Over the years, Musk and his businesses have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits, often at critical moments, a Washington Post analysis has found, helping seed the growth that has made him the world’s richest person.
The payments stretch back more than 20 years. Shortly after becoming CEO of a cash-strapped Tesla in 2008, Musk fought hard to secure a low-interest loan from the Energy Department, according to two people directly involved with the process, holding daily briefings with company executives about the paperwork and spending hours with a government loan officer.
When Tesla soon after realized it was missing a crucial Environmental Protection Agency certification it needed to qualify for the loan days before Christmas, Musk went straight to the top, urging then-EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to intervene, according to one of the people. Both people spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.
Nearly two-thirds of the $38 billion in funds have been promised to Musk’s businesses in the past five years.
In 2024 alone, federal and local governments committed at least $6.3 billion to Musk’s companies, the highest total to date.
The total amount is probably larger: This analysis includes only publicly available contracts, omitting classified defense and intelligence work for the federal government. SpaceX has been developing spy satellites for the National Reconnaissance Office, the Pentagon’s spy satellite division, according to the Reuters news agency. The Wall Street Journal reported that contract was worth $1.8 billion, citing company documents.
The Post found nearly a dozen other local grants, reimbursements and tax credits where the specific amount of money is not public.
An additional 52 ongoing contracts with seven government agencies — including NASA, the Defense Department and the General Services Administration — are on track to potentially pay Musk’s companies an additional $11.8 billion over the next few years, according to The Post’s analysis.
Government contracts to SpaceX from NASA and the Defense Department make up the majority of funds. Tesla has earned $11.4 billion in regulatory credits from federal and state programs aimed at boosting the electric-car industry, and experts say its sales have been bolstered by a federal $7,500 electric-vehicle tax credit for consumers. Musk has called for an end to that consumer credit, arguing his competitors need the incentive more than Tesla.
DOGE, which stands for Department of Government Efficiency, has sought to cut staff, slash budgets or cut contracts at all seven of the agencies where Musk’s companies have ongoing contracts. That includes the General Services Administration, Defense Department and Transportation Department.
Musk’s relationships with government agencies have at times been mutually beneficial: His ventures have pioneered new markets that have advanced U.S. government goals, including space exploration and the expansion of electric vehicles. And while many of the government programs Musk has benefited from are open to others in the electric-vehicle industry, no other company has gone on to achieve Tesla’s market dominance.

Ok, so this is an example of government money that was well spent.
It should serve as an example of the government investing in a business that has reaped great technological advancements and employed over 120,000 people.
Most recently, one of these companies rescued our astronauts.
What do you believe is the issue here?
-
Isn't there a developing story where over a billion dollars of gov't money to Musk's company just went missing and unaccounted for?

Aritcle kind of explains it. If there was something legal at stake, wouldn't PWC flag it?
But the gross value of the company’s PP&E, or its worth before accounting for depreciation, only increased $4.9 billion in that span. One would expect those numbers to tally—and there is neither evidence any PP&E was sold nor Tesla recognition of any impairments to its “long-lived assets.”
Foreign currency changes can throw everything off, notes Tim Morrison, an accounting professor at Notre Dame and former audit partner at Ernst & Young. And Tesla could have gotten rid of assets that had reached the end of their useful lives, in which case it would make sense if they are no longer on the books.

had shady accounting with $1.4 billion "missing."
In reality, the Financial Times just didn't understand the accounting, and an expert reached out to them to explain it to them.
FT: "One unavoidable conclusion is that at a certain point it’s necessary to trust the auditor’s judgment."

The Ketamine kid is upset at the tariff policy Among the more notable critics of Trump’s trade war with the world: Elon Musk.
He said on he would like to see a “zero-tariff situation” between the United States and Europe.
(already offered by the EU weeks ago)
but rather than complain to Mr Trump he had a go at Mr Trumps trade adviser Peter Navarro. On Friday, the X account “Insurrection Barbie” posted a clip of Navarro waving off the market crash: “Here is Peter Navarro explaining the tariffs and contrary to the paid fake expert class that is usually on corporate media, Peter Navarro has a PhD in economics from Harvard. He’s also not going to lie to you about what is happening to a globalist agenda.”
“A PhD in Econ from Harvard is a bad thing, not a good thing,” Musk replied. “Results in the ego/brains>>1 problem.”
On Sunday, Navarro replied . “It was interesting to hear Elon Musk talk about a zero tariff zone with Europe. He doesn’t understand that,” he told Fox News. “The thing that I think is important about Elon to understand is, he sells cars.”

He’s right to leave. There should still be a DOGE.

Why leave? Did the federal employees not responding with their "5 things you did last week" email hurt his feelings?

If my business was starting to have problems because I was distracted on Getbig, I’d stop posting and reading it. He needs to get back to what he knows how to do and that is drive innovation and make cool shit.

Agreed.
However, if you came onto GB promising (whatever) that was a radical change (for the better) and yet failed to accomplish it - then what?

I did not expect radical change for the better to be fixed in four months. DOGE can continue, regardless of where Musk's focus is.
USAID shit/fraud has been happening for over a half century.

Thoughts on this...
He shouldn't have taken the job if he couldn't run his company even though it was under attack. If you take a job like he did, you must commit for the long haul no matter what.
The "left" is acting like a skitz-o crack whore in this case. First off, he's a fucking ba-zillionaire, yet he was lauded for being an environmental leader by producing electric cars. Then the media gets ahold of him and he's made out to be some nazi because of a hand gesture. He is autistic, super rich, brilliant in many ways, and a visionary. He's likely a scum bag, but so what? He is probably obscene about how he spends his money and could be criticized for not spending it on things that help communities and families that would help his companies grow. But that wasn't a problem for the left before he aligned with Trump.
So now Teslas are getting vandalized?
It's so fucking stupid.
And my stake in Tesla stock is crap right now. >:(

Where is the source of this?

Would be pretty hard to undo something significantly or at least get the "change" started in 100 days that existed for decades.

Drove by a local shopping center where a Tesla dealer usually parks a small number of Teslas on unused parking lot.
Now there are a huge number of Tesla's parked there. Hundreds and hundreds.
All kinds including the Cybertrucks.

DOGE employees gain accounts on classified networks holding nuclear secrets
Two members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency were given accounts on classified networks that hold highly guarded details about America's nuclear weapons, two sources tell NPR.
Luke Farritor, a 23-year-old former SpaceX intern, and Adam Ramada, a Miami-based venture capitalist, have had accounts on the computer systems for at least two weeks, according to the sources who also have access to the networks. Prior to their work at DOGE, neither Farritor nor Ramada appear to have had experience with either nuclear weapons or handling classified information.

From what I have read, Musk's involvement in Doge was never intended to go on forever. In fact, Musk's 130 days began on January 20 and was to end by May 30. The question is whether Musk stepped back earlier than expected or he is gradually reducing his involvement with Doge to one or two days a week.
