That is the main reason of Dodges existence, what did you think would happen?

Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works on 19 Feb 00:00 next collapse

There it is. I knew there was a reason

LostWon@lemmy.ca on 19 Feb 00:11 next collapse

I could have sworn at least 3 of the companies he pretends to run were under investigation by different agencies.

MrVilliam@lemm.ee on 19 Feb 00:18 next collapse

This, starlink regarding Russia invading Ukraine, and I’m gonna guess spacex regarding government contracts? Idk about that 3rd one being investigated but it’s definitely one of the many conflicts of interest.

LostWon@lemmy.ca on 19 Feb 00:20 next collapse

Yeah, it’s probably those conflicts of interest I had in mind.

adarza@lemmy.ca on 19 Feb 00:37 next collapse

tesla has been investigated, as well… so tesla, neuralink, boring, spacex and starlink… old spice himself, x(sh)itter would be, his current government work would be

so pretty much every fucking thing that elon musk has paw prints on is investigated or would be.

takeda@lemm.ee on 19 Feb 00:51 collapse

I think boring company wasn’t…

Were they drilling tunnels for trains in California which never materialized?

Ledericas@lemm.ee on 19 Feb 06:05 collapse

that was his scam, he was afraid of CALIFORNIA developing thier high speed rail way system, so he came up with the hyperloop scam so he can force california to abandon it, furthermore they tried again when trump was in power the 1st time, Elaine chao(lich mcconnels wife, blocked all funding for it)

TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub on 19 Feb 01:08 next collapse

SpaceX is still doing truly revolutionary work, and that usually gets you in regulatory trouble. Of everything Musk, I think this company is the greatest thing his paws have made.

I will change opinion if his dream is actually becoming the dictator of the first Nazi Mars Colony, but I wish SpaceX much success in its endeavors for the time being.

ohulancutash@feddit.uk on 19 Feb 09:29 collapse

Pity SpaceX doesn’t believe it has to obey the law, and thinks it can just buy land and dump waste on it.

Ledericas@lemm.ee on 19 Feb 06:04 collapse

space x being investigated for dumping illegally around the sites.

Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works on 19 Feb 00:19 next collapse

That’s what he’ll target next, of course. These “geniuses” are so dumb and predictable.

9point6@lemmy.world on 19 Feb 00:25 collapse

This is just one of many reasons, for example

The FAA head pushed out by Musk before all the planes started crashing had fairly recently fined spaceX for safety issues.

It’s just pettiness and entitlement. He’s going after everyone who has ever said no to him.

breadsmasher@lemmy.world on 19 Feb 00:24 next collapse

conservative communities wont comment on this. They love massive conflict of interests. clowns.

Ledericas@lemm.ee on 19 Feb 06:09 collapse

because fox, right wing sources and russia will direct them to rage about culture wars instead, conservatives are not bright when it comes to thing like class warfare, luigi momentarily broke them out of thier “echo chambers”. i onced followed a asian yotbers who was known right wing, but wasnt in your face pre-pandemic, everyone was cringed that his information is very outdated and dint know what to talk about when regard to policies.

Awwww, how convenient. An illegal immigrant doesn’t want to be investigated.

”Reportedly”

Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com on 19 Feb 03:02 next collapse

Because they fired the guy whose job it was to tell the press who got fired. So there is no longer an official record.

roofuskit@lemmy.world on 19 Feb 14:27 collapse

You know the first people they fired were all the inspector generals right? Those are the watch dogs who investigate where the money is going and watch out for people breaking the law. And they illegally fired the head of the office that protects government whistleblowers. He’s currently counting on the Supreme Court to uphold the law.

redhydride@lemmy.ml on 19 Feb 01:30 next collapse

Surprising it took this long

giacomo@lemm.ee on 19 Feb 01:54 next collapse

BigMacHole@lemm.ee on 19 Feb 02:17 next collapse

So? Elon Musk illegally FIRING Government Employees investigating his businesses is NOTHING compared to HUNTER BIDEN getting a JOB in CHYNA!

simplejack@lemmy.world on 19 Feb 04:56 next collapse

This shit is so fucking Russian. Blatantly corrupt.

rottingleaf@lemmy.world on 19 Feb 07:39 next collapse

With Russian shit you wouldn’t hear of this, and the investigators wouldn’t be very willing to do anything in the first place.

That you even hear about this is a sign of resilience of your system.

Like a canary that’s dying, that is.

Brumefey@sh.itjust.works on 19 Feb 07:58 next collapse

Seems to me that the USA is quite close to having journalists / whistleblowers dying by suicide…

rottingleaf@lemmy.world on 19 Feb 10:44 next collapse

I don’t even mean that, just the fact that there is some outrage, you are normally talking about it, and parts of the government actually act as they are supposed to.

technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 19 Feb 16:18 collapse

So close that it has happened multiple times.

This is one of the fun little horrors I’ve been contemplating recently. Wonder what kind of completely unhinged neuralink human trials will be happening this year?

Ledericas@lemm.ee on 19 Feb 06:02 next collapse

musk shagged(surrogate) the head of the neuralink division in texas a and M and made her produce a child for him. he and the university performed unsanctioned experiments on MONKEYs causing them to suffer, and musk’s response"they were going to die any ways".

when you are in a university performing research on animals, theres regulations and protocols to follow, they probably dint do that. this makes the university look bad for doing this.

mojofrododojo@lemmy.world on 19 Feb 23:28 collapse

which university?

amon@lemmy.world on 19 Feb 12:35 collapse

I can see trials going on at Gitmo in a year

Musk is a walking conflict of interest pos. So he just fires all the people that have a conflict with his agenda? The United States is fucked under this leadership.

roofuskit@lemmy.world on 19 Feb 14:30 next collapse

Gizmodo is a trash source, they are telling you what you want to hear.

These people were collateral from their scatter shot mass firing of all probationary employees. Breaking the agencies that regulate his businesses is the goal, but they aren’t specifically targeting employees who are regulating his products.

lol.

roofuskit@lemmy.world on 19 Feb 16:21 collapse

There’s a difference between blanket firing all probationary employees and putting specific names of people working on regulating his businesses on a list to fire.

If you can’t make that distinction in a discussion of how this is bad, then you are going to be dismissed as biased and making false representations.

There’s plenty of dirt being done without having to make shit up to make it sound worse. The truth matters. People who don’t care about the truth got us into this mess and they certainly aren’t going to get us out of it.

Seems like “drain the swamp” turned into “put the swamp monster in charge, give it steroids and flood the forest”

bitjunkie@lemmy.world on 19 Feb 15:52 next collapse

This was all it was about the whole time. The executive branch has been outright bought so Musk can avoid consequences for his businesses’ questionable-at-best ethics.

I feel like in 1820 you were running around blaming crops dying in the Democrats. These people will exist in the future! And if they don’t stop everything before them and after them from happening, it’s their fault! The fall of the Qing Dynasty, Dems fault. Dinosaur extinction… never happened, the Dems made it up because they are still around us. You just can’t see most of them because the Democrats!
