    It’s ridiculous that he still has a security clearance. Anyone else acting out in the way he has been would have the DOD all up in their shit. It is obvious at this point that he is a threat to national security, his public drug use and unhinged behavior alone should have been enough. Now he is getting hurricane rescue workers threatened and terrifying disaster victims into not receiving government assistance, it’s absolutely monstrous and fundamentally anti-American. That he is also trusted with secret information about US national security and receives billions of dollars from the US government is completely absurd.

      Yep

      Obama privatized space and let Musk have the contracts, trump never reigned him in when he got crazier, and Biden just pretends it’s not happening

      It’s why I have zero expectations Harris will do the right thing and move away from privatizing government agencies.

      None of this should ever have happened, but both parties are ok with it and we just do t have a 3rd option.

      It’s going to be painful whenever we do it, but we need a complete overhaul of our political system, no one is really getting any representation except the richest

        The ‘right thing’ is letting entrepreneurs make money. Yes, it might cause long-term costs in terms of societal breakdown. But, also, it might cause short-term profit in terms of those extremely wealthy people giving money to a political campaign.

        After all, what’s most important is that politicians enrich people who then ‘trickle down’ a tiny portion of it back to those hardworking politicians who bravely made the world worse.
