Yes, but the only people with the power to stop them have a conflict of interest too.
You know that's kind of the point with the whole MAGA thing. They're picking up exactly where they left off in 2020 with thundering applause.
It is. Elon licks Trumps butt because SpaceX space missions, and Trump licks Elons butt because of Twitter.

95% chance they will serve themselves and not the public for sure.

Tesla mogul will head up Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Vivek Ramaswamy, to ‘dismantle bureaucracy and slash regulations’
How many senators or house members do we need to lobby to stop this?
More importantly, how do I get into a position to even begin attempting to lobby them?
Lobbying against the rich lobbying with more money to take down restrictions that will free up more money for them. Maybe I'm just a bit bleak about it all, but my pessimism can't see how it would work.
Because it wouldn't. Citizen advocacy groups can't even get facetime with these ghouls.
The boys from K-Street tho? They got them on speed dial.

The man who's cars kill people, should be in charge of efficiency. Perfect. Everything goes so much better when massive numbers of people die. Melon Head Musk is such a waste of DNA.
Hey, it's not only his cars that kill people, his assembly lines kill them too! And now he'll be in charge of all the assembly lines.
Someone do something to this fuck
I am sure he came up with the name
Kabosu didn't die for this
And "efficiency" directly translates to "maximizing human exploitation" for Elon. I mean holy crap what has the US elected themselves into?
