    yes lets put the man that single handedly collapsed the EV market and obliterated Twitter in charge of “streamlining” the government, that is a great idea!

      He’s totally going to fire every single federal employee and then complain that he can’t renew his passport.

        Then he is going to scream that if public servants are not at their offices 95 hours a week they are not committed to the cause then when he finds out they have a union he will be triggered and forced to go into a quiet room so he can cry about how the big mean workers want him to fail.

          They will just shoot you.

          Did you not read the part of Project 2025 where they will use the military against US citizens?

          Ask the air traffic controllers who went on strike in the 80s how that helped.

          If the president can supersede a union, no worker is safe.

      Having Elon anywhere near government anything is a terrible idea and he’s an awful human but what’s this about the EV market? I thought it was doing fine. Twitter though yeah that has been just…a large wtf per minute value for sure.

        Yeah, the EV market is fine, just Tesla sales which have dropped some, lowering numbers for the total EV market. Sales continue to be strong for other EV manufacturers, just one brand slowing down for some strange reason… Almost like someone has started to alienate their core customer base…

          Yeah, I’m actively shopping for an EV and Tesla is not on the list. Not just because of Elmo though. I need physical buttons for the AC and radio and I like my cars to be pretty. But Elmo is definitely another reason why I’m not even looking at a Tesla.

        yeah if you look at the stats of the market, its been all over sites like Bloomberg and Forbes, the EV market is imploded because “Americans don’t want EVs” but when you break it down by manufacturer the market is overall growing if you excluded tesla, but Tesla is the largest maker in the segment so as they dive the market as a aggregate takes a hit.
