Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy suggested Friday if elected in 2024, he would run the government like tech billionaire Elon Musk runs the social media platform X, formerly known a…
So he’s going to just start shutting down vital services and say oh shit oops did that kill a few hundred thousand people? Trump literally already did that.
Fire 2/3rds of the White House? Rename the “Department of Defense” into just “D”?
Seriously, that’s all tame compared to what Trump did.
“What [Musk] did at Twitter is a good example of what I want to do to the administrative state,” Ramaswamy said in an interview with Fox News. “Take out the 75 percent of the dead weight cost, improve the actual experience of what it’s supposed to do.”
Because that’s exactly how big organizations work: Take out a big chunk out of the organization and shit just works.
“[Musk] put an X through Twitter, I’ll put a big X through the administrative state,” he said. “So, that’s where I’m at on common tactics with Elon.”
“Elect me because I’ll fuck over your government so bad, you’ll wish you lived in anarchy.”
This is the first I’ve heard anyone suggest that Musk’s changes at Twitter somehow improved “the actual experience of what it’s supposed to do.” Although the “x through the administrative state” line proves this is pure, gutless pandering.
So as usual, he’s not actually as stupid as he sounds, just opportunistic and immoral.
I mean, if you’re a Nazi, the new Xitter is definitely a better experience. He knows exactly to whom he’s pandering, which is how you get invited back to Fox. There’s going to be a lot of competition for the segment of MAGA that loves the fascism and xenophobia, but worries that Trump is too toxic to win big cities.
Fire everybody, fail to pay bills, run it into the ground, then change the name to a single letter? Country of “A”, so we’re always first?
That’s great. Get in charge of something that has value. Learn nothing, listen to no one. Impulsively change stuff and fire people some of it in pretty self serving ways. Destroy the value of the organization. Basically bankrupt the organization. Stop paying your bills. Try to make people pay more for every inane thing. Totally loose all credibility of the organization and yourself.
What a stupid plan. Only good thing about Twitter is it does not really matter. The federal government does matter and is not a business… so no.
That’s ludicrous.
This is the first I’m hearing about this person but it sounds like another clown show, distracting everyone and sowing chaos while disaster capitalists profit.
So turn the bond rating of the USA to junk status?
