    I don’t understand what’s wrong with a man who loves his country dedicating himself to making it more transparent, accountable and efficient in carrying out the agenda of the chief executive.

  12. @pr8217

    February 4, 2025 at 3:01 pm

    All it took was a few young minds to roll up and spotlight massive government corruption and mismanagement of tax payer dollars. It’s like someone turned on the lights in the middle of a 90s Rave.

    Yes we did. He is not taking over the government. He is helping the government get right. No more stealing the tax payers money. Everything is becoming transparent. Transparency is what Americans want.

    I am a trump supporter but I don’t really like Elon that much. He is just too weird for me. lol just a super bizarre human being. But I do admire his patriotism, given the fact that he wasn’t even born here. As far as this clip goes, I guess if Kamala had won and she had someone like this, doing these things, I would be outraged? I don’t know enough about this stuff to have a real opinion on it but if Elon musk can do stuff like this to find bad things going on, within the government, then I am all for it.

  26. @AlbertoVeroneseBorcato

    February 4, 2025 at 8:31 pm

    And he wasn’t even born in the US. He is a South African who is a naturalized Canadian and American.

  27. @AlbertoVeroneseBorcato

    February 4, 2025 at 8:32 pm

    It’s absurd how this is legal. If it were in absolutely any other country, the US would be the first to point the finger and call it corruption. Hypocrites!

  35. @xmattperkins

    February 5, 2025 at 5:01 am

    For fascism and the ultra-wealthy to take over you need the poorly educated and misinformed on your side. This is why Trump said he loves the poorly educated because they’re his and Musk’s biggest supporters. Without the poorly educated and misinformed, people like Musk and Trump couldn’t take over and destroy the government

  36. @cynthiavanteylingen7922

    February 5, 2025 at 5:47 am

    And now i wonder what they are looking for

    • @buttercupbaby891

    February 5, 2025 at 12:44 pm

    A lot of those carrier goverment people are just spending tax money on their personal gain. I saw it in Spain, state servants spending public money on drug and hookers.
    Spoiler: I have worked in brothels.

      February 5, 2025 at 2:42 pm

      ​@@SeyaDiakite7 you voted a billionaire who loves his billionaire friends so obviously you knew they will reform the government to help themselves get even richer.

    • @SeyaDiakite7

      February 5, 2025 at 2:45 pm

    • @faduci

      February 6, 2025 at 9:57 am

      He wants to go to Mars, so let’s send him there. He can fly in his own rocket and maybe on the way pick up the Tesla he sent into space a couple of years ago. Elon gets to Mars, there will be less space junk, the US self-destruction button gets at least a short relief, and even the war on drugs can report a significant drop in ketamine abuse on earth. Really a win-win scenario.

    Oh, you mean somebody that has billions of dollars so he doesn’t need to steal any money is finding out why the government constantly bleeding money with all useless employees I think he’s doing a great thing and he has no reason to take any money maybe our government will actually start getting things done without hemorrhaging money, constantly our money

    February 7, 2025 at 9:14 am

    Any “man” that has to employ the use of members of a pediatric unit to do his bidding is a joke. But, you don’t need me to tell you that. That he became upset that their identities’ was televised is ludicrous, they breached OUR privacy, they have t right to theirs.

    should we all take a moment and pray that Elon is actually a mole and is going to America great?
