Who’s guiding Elon Musk as he navigates life in DC—and uses DOGE to dismantle key parts of the government? Stephen and Katie Miller
While Musk grabs headlines, Stephen Miller wields power behind-the-scenes
Miller is described by sources as the Prime Minister "carrying out the daily work of governance while Trump serves as head of state"
The Millers "are seen inside Trumpworld as glorified babysitters for Musk"

#DavidV_Comment: In over 25 years -with Over 100K hours in Project Managment - as a Software Supervisor (aka Software Architech) managing countless Programmers and Developers over the years I have never seen such Corrupted and dissapionting Software riddle with bugs and grave malfuncitons..
During 2022, The Dawn Project conducted a series of safety tests in Goleta and Santa Barbara, California, to test whether Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Software was safe for public roads. The tests revealed critical safety defects in the software, and showed that Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software will:
* Run down a child in a school crosswalk
* Ignore ‘Do Not Enter’ and ‘Road Closed’ signs
* Overtake stopped school buses
* Speed in school zones
* Hit a child in a stroller
* Run over children crossing the road
* Swerve into oncoming traffic
* Ignore road signs warning it to slow down for sharp bends, causing it to * cross over the yellow line
* Drive on the wrong side of the road
* Commit thousands of driving errors
* Tesla Full Self-Driving Will Run Down a Child in a School Crosswalk
* The Dawn Project publicly reported in August that our test engineers had shown that Full Self-Driving would run over a child in a crosswalk. Recently
* The Dawn Project tested Full Self-Driving (10.69.2.2) and found that it will still run down a child in a school crosswalk.
Whoever coded it should never code a single line of code again imho.
* Three months have gone by and Tesla engineering still hasn’t fixed a problem that nearly everyone agrees should #ban_it from our #public_roads. To read Dan’s full thoughts on the actions of Tesla’s engineering team, click here.

On Elon Musk and Wikipedia
"Although the site is far from perfect, it remains a place where, unlike much of the internet, facts still matter. That the people who are constantly writing and rewriting Wikipedia entries are disaggregated volunteers—rather than bendable to one man’s ideological views—seems to be in the public interest. The site’s structure is a nuisance for anyone invested in controlling how information is disseminated."

As #ElonMusk became one of #Trump’s closest allies last year, leading raucous rallies & donating about $275M to help him win the presidency, he was also using #drugs far more intensely than previously known [tho pretty obvious to the casual observer], acc/to people familiar w/his activities.

Here is the beginning of the 3rd #thread on Elon Musk's takeover of the US government:
Elon Musk’s Demolition Crew
https://projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-doge-tracker/
"Musk’s team, known as the Dept of Govt Efficiency, has already thrown entire swaths of the federal #government & its programs into disarray — programs that serve millions of #Americans.
#Musk himself has made no secret of his intentions, saying that #DOGE is a “wood chipper for bureaucracy” and that he is “deleting” agencies."
The FAA urged aircraft operators to ensure they have enough fuel in case they are put in a holding pattern due to a rocket explosion.
We found that several planes ran low on fuel after the Jan. 2025 Starship incident. At least one declared a mayday and crossed the no-fly zone to reach an airport.

One Agency Tried to Regulate SpaceX. Now Its Fate Could Be in Elon Musk’s Hands.

The Trump ally and DOGE chief is expected to turn his budget-slashing sights on the FAA’s little-known commercial spaceflight office, which has proposed fines and grounded SpaceX after explosions and other incidents.
#News #SpaceX #FAA #ElonMusk #DOGE #Aviation #Spaceflight #Trump #Regulation
ProPublica has identified nine additional Musk-affiliated staffers. A former staffer at Boring Company now has an official role at DOGE in the Executive Office of the President. A former X employee now works in the General Services Administration.
“In Canada, a slew of apps has emerged with names such as “buy beaver”, “maple scan” and “is this Canadian” to allow shoppers to scan QR barcodes and reject US produce from alcohol to pizza toppings.”

#Musk Seeks to Put $100M Directly Into #Trump *Political Operation*
#ElonMusk has signaled he wants to make donations not just to his own #superPAC, …but to an outside entity.
It is unheard-of for a WH staffer, even one w/*part-time* status, to make such large contributions to support the agenda of the boss. But there has never been someone in the direct employ of an admin like Musk, the world’s richest person, who is leading Trump’s #DOGE.

There’s a Term for What #Trump & #Musk Are Doing
How regime change happens in #America
Despite its name, the Department of Government Efficiency is not, so far, primarily interested in efficiency. #DOGE & its boss, #ElonMusk, have instead focused their activity on the eradication of the federal #CivilService, along with its culture & values, & its replacement with something different. In other words: #RegimeChange.

Elon Musk Says He Has Sold X to His AI Start-Up xAI
The transaction valued xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion - down from the $44 billion Musk paid for Twitter in 2022, but higher than the recent $12 billion valuation by X investor Fidelity

So, Trump announced a bunch of tariffs today. Basically everybody but Russia.
But then there is 15-30 % for everybody. But Lesotho? Fuck Lesotho in particular, apparently. 50% tariffs.
Just by a super coincidence, seems like Starlink is trying to get a contract in Lesotho and having some difficulties. Clearly unrelated.

A federal #jury has sided with #OpenAI & its top executives in a feud with #ElonMusk, who accused them of betraying a shared vision for it to guide #ArtificialIntelligence’s development as a #nonprofit dedicated to #humanity’s benefit.
The nine-person jury unanimously found that Musk waited too long to file his lawsuit & missed the deadline for the statute of limitations.

Musk Adviser May Make as Much as $1 Million a Year While Helping to Dismantle Agency that Regulates Tesla and X
—
Records show that Chris Young is simultaneously working as a political adviser to Musk while serving in the Department of Government Efficiency, helping to gut the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Good piece. #elonmusk is such a grifter.
“The lesson here is that SpaceX somehow needs to make Starship significantly more robust and lighter by well over a hundred tonnes if it is to conduct even one successful mission, let alone achieve constant reuse — which, let’s be clear, is basically impossible. All flight 9 has proven is just how much of a dead end Starship is.”
#Trump & #ElonMusk’s alliance dissolved into open acrimony on Thurs, as the 2 men hurled personal attacks at each other after the billionaire had unleashed broadsides against Trump’s signature domestic policy bill.
While meeting with Friedrich Merz, Germany’s new chancellor, in the Oval Office, Trump broke days of uncharacteristic silence & unloaded on Musk, who until last week was a top presidential adviser.
