Elon Musk’s Takeover Is Being Aided by a Trumpworld Power Couple
Stephen & Katie Miller—he's “the prime minister,”...she’s DOGE’s comms guru—liaise between the #WhiteHouse & #ElonMusk, & are centrally involved as he tears the govt apart.
https://www.wired.com/story/katie-stephen-miller-elon-musk-takeover/
" #StephenMiller is the White House deputy chief of staff for policy & homeland security adviser... Katie Miller, is a special #government employee who functions as the top #communications official at #DOGE."
Let me just speculate here for a moment:
How the hell does Elon Musk & Donald Trump think ANYBODY is going to buy their #communications & #weapons #technologies in the future?
If they will threaten to turn them off remotely? (#Starlink/#F35)
Unless you sell your country’s resources to them for pennies to a dollar?
Just makes no fucking sense. Military procurement is about trust.
At this point, a couple members of the audience shouted "Blue Sky!" to urge them to get on Blue Sky. We can do this as well to get them on a non-billionaire platform like Mastodon.
