I am not a decision maker, I am just eating popcorn and enjoying the entertainment. I would welcome your constructive counter-arguments, though

  holler back when these below (and other ACTUAL government waste) is being worked on vs. enjoying current TV show by a celebrity reality TV host for easily-entertained masses doing nothing but parading themselves on TV while enriching themselves while you stare at the screen… :) https://www.reuters.com/world/us/elon-musks-us-department-defense-contracts-2025-02-11/ https://www.reuters.com/world/us/elon-musks-us-department-de...

    Elon Musk’s companies provide service: starlink and spacex that nobody else can provide, at contracts started even before trump was elected in 2016. Recent contracts were signed by biden admin, so I dont think there is any nefarious collusion, but rather arms length transaction. You say he is getting rich, I would love some more nuance: is it unfair that he created a company and out-executed everyone including nasa? Would usa be better off without spacex, relying on Russians to launch satellites??? At least he created thousands jobs, created blns in wealth for his shareholders, made some incredible innovations. Compare to usaid, whose only achievement was promoting trans surgeries to children
