Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

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?)
Looks like he's putting together his own version of the Legion of Doom.

He's apparently been floating the idea of making Elon Secretary of Transportation.
Such a pathetic attempt to cater to techbros 🤣
A cultist, the worlds greatest fresh roadkill finder, and a rich south african marketing guy who loves nazis.
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.

Squid has some fire memes, put some respect on the name.
Well that's fuckin frightening.
I am absolutely down to having the orange turd put into an old folks home.
Great Scott I'm happy to not be an American, I don't know how citizens will survive another term by this stupid idiot.
He is planning on becoming our supreme leader.

Genius, my arse.
In an alternate timeline, Elon Musk may have actually been a reputable head of the Department of Transportation.
Musk probably doesn't realize how big of an insult that is.
From one stable genius to another.
Donald, you should adopt Elon.
