Mr President, Elon is not taking a salary but he is most certainly getting paid

How would you reconcile that with Romans 8, which says outright that God predestined people to salvation?

Warnings about Vance are proving correct

Trump has a tightrope to walk, with Elon, Vance, Vivek all circling like sharks

Not feeling good as he heads into the meeting with Modi

Does anyone have experience with the caste system in India? I’m getting a lot of commentary from people in the west who aren’t Indian but I’m not sure how accurate those are

Looking for an unbiased and up to date perspective

Does anyone know much about the history of India?

I’m looking for a good book, maybe 200-300 pages that would give a good overarching history up to the beginning of the modi years

Federal Debt is a big problem

But other countries have much higher debt to gdp ratios

Ending liberty in the name of efficiency really would end America however

THAT is what I fear

Elon is doing a great job at Doge

But I just can’t shake the feeling that it’s all an act and just for show. Time will tell

There was a bill last term to end USAID. Republicans couldn’t even unite to get it passed the house

I’d start with that

For one, we need to stop the H1B abuse, they need compliant workers to pull this off

Secondly we need to encourage whistleblowers to come forward in many of these positions. One of them tried at open ai and was killed (his death was ruled a suicide). Need to get exposure on that

Extra scrutiny should be applied to trumps federal court appointments wrt the 4th amendment

State legislatures and gubernatorial races are critical in the pushback. More easily accessible and probably the best place to get involved

Big big mistake

“Those who put security over liberty deserve neither and will soon lose both”

I’m not at all in favor of USAID. I actually would like to see that ended and I applaud Elon for going that route

Where I worry is that I don’t think Elon is trustworthy. He’s already lied about H1B and weirdly enough his video game record, he has an ulterior motive here

And the palantir stuff is scary. Facial recognition plus social credit system is not good long term. That does need to be stopped

How do you solve the problem of privacy? Bitcoin is notoriously public with financial transactions, even more than our current system

Things could get worse though and it’s important to not lose site of that

Did he actually clean out Twitter?

Maybe talk to Taibbi about that one

What he’s doing is partially good. But it’s partially bad too

Same principle as the patriot act and tsa, only using efficiency as the excuse rather than safety. Lots of 4th amendment /privacy violations in letting Elon access financial transactions. And he’s already talking about putting treasury transactions “on chain” which is the first step towards a cdbc

Also he can potentially shut down investigations into his own companies. Rumor on the street is that Tesla has been violating immigration law for years (if you remember the H1B debate over Christmas break)

Which brings something else: Elon tried to hire a Turkish national at doge that doesn’t even have us citizenship and was stopped by Trump. That he tried at all shows how compromised he is

Of course. It’s constitutional for him to do it

But a lot of people are falling for Elons tricks. He is not an honest man

And what’s he’s doing is not good. Not good at all

Totally agree with you

But the groypers lately have been showing fascist tendencies. This guy commented on my X thread before I blocked him:

Elon lied his ass off about his gaming credo

He’s lying about DOGE too, there’s a lot of bad stuff going on

I heard recently that bitcoin transactions are easier to observe and tie back to an individual than credit card transactions

If there are any MAGA on Nostr, give me a shout and I’ll follow!
