“What if Elon Musk, if he focuses on his new task at Doge (the Department of Government Efficiency), really does find tens of billions of dollars of savings? Could it show the way for other governments to slash the cost of bureaucracy in the dawning age of AI? All of these things could happen, and we could be thanking Trump for them a couple of years from now”
That quote by William Hague. It’s insane. Initially Musk suggested 2 trillion in cuts to the Federal Budget. Which was more than the entire budget. Which shows the thought that went into THAT. He’s likely to cut Medicaid and Education. Isn’t it just like a Tory to celebrate that.
I don’t care how many nuanced or frankly insane articles right wing newspapers come up with it’s impossible for me to not look at Musks Nazi salute and not be chilled by it.
These are dangerous and stupid times and it’s hard to keep up, even if you want to but hardly a mention from any commentator that an ex PM of the UK was walking around DC with a MAGA hat on. The fact it was Truss and was only 44 days is irrelevant to me. Next time any right wing blowhards shout about the ‘Great’ in Britain, they should be reminded about how deeply unserious and pathetic we actually are.
As if by devine intervention, google recommended me an article of BRENDAN FUCKING ONEIL defending the salute.
Because of course he fucking would.
He would have it tattooed on his five-head for posterity, but there’s not enough ink in the northern hemisphere.
The article literally admits it was a weird salute then quickly throws in the BUT BUT BUT.

What’s worse is that it’s become predictably anodyne, their lazy musings on the MAGApoloooza.
If Tim Stanley gets angry enough, his bow-tie rotates at such a rate that he achieves brief but livid flight.
