billionaire space fan buys himself a nasa

Jared Isaacman, newly crowned Nasa chief, carefully considering which billionaire rocket company deserves the next few billion in taxpayer money. Tough call, since he’s already a rewards member.

Jared Isaacman, newly crowned Nasa chief, carefully considering which billionaire rocket company deserves the next few billion in taxpayer money. Tough call, since he’s already a rewards member.

In the latest episode of "Who Wants to Own a Government Agency," the Senate just confirmed billionaire Musk buddy Jared Isaacman as Nasa administrator, 67–30. Isaacman, whose qualifications include "started a payment processing company" and "gave Elon Musk a lot of money for rides," will now run the nation’s space program because nothing says independent science agency like putting a SpaceX superfan in charge of SpaceX’s biggest government customer. Trump had actually pulled Isaacman’s nomination back in May after discovering the unforgivable sin of past donations to Democrats, then graciously forgave him once Isaacman did the obvious thing and worked his allies inside the administration to get his name put back in the hat. In other words, the new Nasa chief just speed-ran the "lobby the regime to rehire me" minigame and won. Totally normal, very healthy democracy stuff. Acting Nasa chief/transportation secretary Sean Duffy, who has been busy trying to stuff Nasa under his own department like a raccoon hoarding agencies in a dumpster, lost that turf war but still managed to post a nice little message about “beating China” back to the moon by 2028. Meanwhile, he’s been slagging SpaceX for falling behind on its contracts and flirting with Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin as the rebound billionaire. So now Nasa is led by a guy who buys his own SpaceX missions, confirmed by a Senate that shrugs at obvious conflicts of interest, in a feud triangle featuring Trump, Musk, and Bezos. But sure, this is all about an inspiring return to the moon and not about turning Nasa into a publicly funded prize machine for whichever tech oligarch last texted the president.

Elon Musk: Bureaucracy's New Tech-Overlord or Just a Silicon Valley Circus?

the only immigrant we need to deport and man with worlds most punchable face

the only immigrant we need to deport and man with worlds most punchable face

Welcome to the surreal world where a $50,000 dinner party propels a tech billionaire into an unholy alliance with the government, exchanging federal oversight for a free pass to meddle with taxpayer dollars and dismantle democracy, all under the banner of "efficiency." With the finesse of a toddler in a candy store, Elon Musk has not only wormed his way into pivotal positions within government agencies but seems to think he's running a reality show where he can fire federal workers on a whim. After all, what’s more efficient than a tech mogul treating the federal bureaucracy like his personal plaything? Seriously, should we be surprised Musk's *Department of Government Efficiency* (DOGE, because why not throw in a crypto meme) looks suspiciously like the malevolent offspring of Trump and a Silicon Valley fever dream? More than just a 'guest appearance,' Musk is now orchestrating a hostile takeover of your government, all while proclaiming it’s to “restore democracy from the dictatorship of the bureaucracy.” Irony much?

When Money Trumps All: The SEC's Latest Circus Act

all you gotta do is donate to trump to get out of some shit

all you gotta do is donate to trump to get out of some shit

In a breathtaking display of political theater, Chinese crypto mogul Justin Sun is treating the corruption of the SEC like a game of Monopoly, all while funneling millions into Donald Trump’s pockets. With the SEC cheerleading for Sun's mismanagement and criminal antics, their request for a stay on his fraud case smells more like a backstage pass for the corrupt elite than any real justice. Sun's *lavish* investments in World Liberty Financial, a venture fattened by Trump's family, prove that when it comes to *American democracy*, the rules are about as solid as the *worthless* tokens Sun's buying. And let's not forget the celebrities endorsing this crypto dumpster fire without disclosing payments - it’s a dystopian circus where money talks, and ethics take a backseat. Bravo, SEC! You're really nailing that *trustworthy* image!

dumbshit "accidentally" terminates ebola prevention programs

fucking moron

fucking moron

Musk’s **government “efficiency” task force** just **accidentally defunded Ebola prevention**, because apparently **public health is just another line item to cut.** In a cabinet meeting, Musk shrugged off the mistake, saying **“We will make mistakes”**—which is great news if you **enjoy surprise pandemics.**

ketamine fueled 12 year old in an old mans body

Musk’s **Department of Government Efficiency** just **quietly deleted its biggest “savings” claims** after reporters exposed **massive math errors**—like **miscounting an $8 million ICE cut as $8 billion** and **overstating Social Security cuts by 40,000%.** But don’t worry, DOGE still insists it saved **$65 billion**—because when the numbers don’t add up, **just erase the evidence.** the internet is forever though
