Politico is reporting that "Elon Musk and Donald Trump were the main characters on the internet and across Washington day after day. Then the world’s richest man started to fade away. On Truth Social, where Trump is known for sharing his unfiltered thoughts, the president used to mention Musk every few days but now has not posted about him in more than a month."
“The public supported the effort to end wasteful Washington spending, but they did not support the way that it was done,” said GOP pollster Frank Luntz."
“He’s finished, done, gone. He polls terrible. People hate him,” said a GOP operative who was granted anonymity to speak frankly. “He’d go to Wisconsin thinking he can buy people’s votes, wear the cheese hat, act like a 9-year-old. ... It doesn’t work. It’s offensive to people."
Foreign Policy asked "What was doge trying to achieve?" Was? In another interview with Musk he admitted he would be spending less time on Doge. So what went wrong? They went too fast and too extreme. Cutting government waste is great. Firing all the government workers and replacing them with 20 year olds is not. Canada didn't want that and the Polls show neither do Americans.
The Guardian is reporting that "Musk’s personal popularity has sunk to record lows, and Tesla’s profits have tanked." They coined his role at Doge as "Move fast and destroy things."
As I've said, if you want to address government waste, you need to stop giving contracts to SNC Lavalin and their partners who under bid and over charge government contracts. That is organized crime. Until you address that everything else is smoke and mirrors. Yet Trump can't blame his polls on Musk.
At last, i can now see the light that illuminates bright ->
ReplyDeleteA pro-automation billionaire wants to cut excess waste (jobs) to better lives of the ordinaire working class.
A lot of what Musk is creating in term of Technology is for a successful colonization of Mars. 99% of y’all don’t see it.
ReplyDelete"For some people had been gossiping about Musk – and had snitched to the New York Times.
ReplyDeleteHopes that he would be afforded a graceful exit from the political arena were somewhat dashed when the Old Grey Lady of American journalism disclosed on Friday that his illicit drug intake was much more widespread than previously known."
"The paper reported he used ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, substances whose effects on political judgment have not been hitherto explored. He was also said to have imbibed so much ketamine – a drug prescribed for depression – that it affected his bladder."
