Elon Musk admits he “got carried away” working inside Donald Trump’s administration as the unelected director of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, where he implemented mass firings and radically cut federal spending.
“I think I got a little too involved in politics. I got carried away, frankly,” he told The Economist in a wide-ranging interview published Thursday, but offered few specifics on what he regretted.
But the world’s wealthiest man — who pumped millions of dollars into Trump’s campaign before he was deputized to oversee the president’s brutal cost-cutting operation — defended the work of DOGE and his dismantling of the nation’s global aid agency that he once promised to put through a “wood chipper.”
“We need to sort of take a close look at spending and make sure that money is being spent in sensible ways and that it is not wasted or spent on fraudulent activities. And I got a lot of flack for this, obviously,” he said.
I wonder if he can just see the writing on the wall, or if he was actually using a cannon to kill a fly? Maybe its that SpaceX isn’t doing so hot? Maybe its the investigation related to tRump going on about how Musk “really knows those voting machines” and how they’ll “never have to vote again”.
Either way, people are dead because of him. We won’t forget, and there will be an accounting for this.
He’s a Pirate, and he deserves a Pirate’s fate.
I think dumbass is seeing the pendulum swinging back and the metaphorical blades being sharpened.
Hate it when the immigrant billionaires come and makes everyone’s life worse
He belongs in federal prison.
Yeah I wish he got carried away… in a pine box.
He ruins thousands of lives with layoffs and says whoops? Hate that man,
If this guy ever chokes on a fish bone and dies, the grand, grand, grand majority of people who react in any way will be celebrating.
Imagine being that much of a piece of shit.
More like drown in a hot tub after too much ketamine.
Elon Musk is a colossal fucking moron. A pure complete dipshit. Why people keep giving this stupid fuck money is beyond me. He is an egotistical, narcissistic, racist, elitist, bigoted asshole. Let’s just all keep throwing $$$ at this piece of shit.
may this fucker be reincarnated into every last person who was denied USAID and died as a result this past year
if there is some form of spiritual punishement in the after life his consiousness gets to witness every suffering. in excruciating detail.
Man, they’ve already been denied aid, they don’t deserve that shit.
I’d settle for him being sent to prison
Take all his money and assets, distribute them to every citizen in the US that isn’t a billionaire, and send him penniless into the streets. Prison is too good for him.
Edit: with zero access to social programs.
“Sorry everyone. Fascism just makes me feel so good, ya know?”
What about the Nazi Salute Elon?
Oh, you know. I just got carried away.
Sorry Elon, we’re still going to take all your ill gotten gains and prosecute the fuck out of you and your billionaire bitches if I can do anything about it
You should be thankful that’s the moderate position.
He murdered millions.
Those are some insightful comments from the world’s first Nazi trillionaire white supremacist.
The fact that there isn’t a well funded group actively hunting this man with the intent to mutilate him to death is somewhat shocking to me.
What good would killing him do? The wealth would just pass down to his children
The children would see an immediate close and personal reason to be better people?
For real. I’d help crowdfund it.
