If he wants geniuses, maybe he should look at university professors (who likely all hate him).. Maybe he should start by not giving them reasons to hate him (like maybe do something to stop shootings at Schools and universities?)
He's apparently been floating the idea of making Elon Secretary of Transportation.
A cultist, the worlds greatest fresh roadkill finder, and a rich south african marketing guy who loves nazis.
Looks like he's putting together his own version of the Legion of Doom.
What has AI wrought
Such a pathetic attempt to cater to techbros 🤣
Oh flying squid you made me sad today. Well, this is all expected I guess.
The squid giveth laughter, and the squid taketh away.
Truly he works in mysterious ways.

Squid has some fire memes, put some respect on the name.
Well that's fuckin frightening.
Musk wouldn't take it, or wouldn't stay long if he did. People in cabinet positions get sidetracked all the time by stuff outside their main goals. For example, Dr. Steven Chu, secretary for energy under Obama's first term, wanted to push a nuclear power renaissance. When BP had an oil rig disaster, he had to focus on that instead. So that's great, we wasted the time of a doctor of physics on an oil spill. It's far from the only reason the nuclear renaissance failed, but it didn't help.
If Musk doesn't realize this problem already, it won't take very long until he does and leaves the job.

I am absolutely down to having the orange turd put into an old folks home.
Genius, my arse.
Musk probably doesn't realize how big of an insult that is.
In an alternate timeline, Elon Musk may have actually been a reputable head of the Department of Transportation.
From one stable genius to another.
a real brain trust
Donald, you should adopt Elon.
