The best one lately is there's a multi year contract for a company to water 8 plants at the pentagon or somewhere. Price of contract: $50,000. Musk cancelled it and said people at the building will water it themselves.
I can't believe that isn't coming up when I Google, it sounds ridiculous!
All of Musk's efficiency drive is, I would bet, about trying to flatter his ego and find a job that sort of fits with what he thinks his image could be. A business brained genius who gets shit done. It's like when He very publicly took the $44Bn company Twitter and made it a much more efficient company by firing everyone. And it is better now. That drive made the $44Bn, sorry there's a mistake there, that drive made the $12.5Bn company much more efficient. It's obvious why the president might want his help. Looking at the US stock market, it would appear they have similar ideas about how this should work.
I genuinely can't work out if the total insanity coming out of the white house is just that, or if it's an incredible game of 4d chess that is being played. Fans of Trump and Musk will no doubt realise that the chaos comes as a torrent, so much and so fast that the news can't actually keep up. Is that the plan?
Who's going to pose the question about the taxation that favours the richest and punishes the poorest when that was a story weeks ago?
Trump is turning Gaza into a beachfront resort complete with an insane promo video with dancing bearded ladies, He's blaming Zelenski live on TV for not just ending a conflict by giving his country to Russia, he's starting trade wars with the country's nearest neighbours, he's doing a press conference at the White House to promote Tesla with Elon Musk (and his living prop, his son) as a response to the public falling out of love with Musk and his companies. Who knows what he'll be up to by the end of Friday?
All the accusations of sleaze, cronyism, back door dealing barely have time to register because though they gave another $400m to Elon, nobody is talking about that because he's swinging a silver chainsaw around and making a noise a bit like: "arrrhhhh" and trying to convince you he saved $50k on plant watering.
