Elon's legacy:
Destroyed a bunch of services to the American people in an extremely haphazard way with little thought to the consequences.
Destroyed morale in the Federal workforce through mass firings which caused hardship to thousands, with little thought to the consequences.
Literally killed thousands in Africa/Asia by removing aid with little thought to the consequences. (Even if USAID was a soft-power/CIA tool, the actual aid was real.)
Accomplished little to nothing.
I never again want to hear how "smart" Elon is.
- wozer 11mo agoWhat if those were exactly his goals?
- insane_dreamer 11mo agoPossibly it was, though I don't think Elon Musk is an ideologue in the Project2025 sense. Rather, he saw an opportunity to "solve government" and bought an election to do so, and then it didn't turn out the way things he wanted (turns out "solving government" is not a technical problem to be fixed by bringing in a bunch of Monster-fueled trigger-happy coders). If it was his goal, it doesn't make much sense as to why -- it doesn't advance Elon's other stated goals in any way.
