Trump Loyalists Reportedly Furious With Elon Musk Over DOGE Coup

Trump Loyalists Reportedly Furious With Elon Musk Over DOGE Coup

Published by José

Billionaire Elon Musk’s overthrow of the US Treasury — a move many insiders believe to be illegal — by his so-called Department of Government Efficiency has even some of president Donald Trump’s loyalists uneasy. The ultra-public rampage, Wired reports, is sowing discord between Republican aides and Musk’s army of strikingly young men, some still in college, who are currently making astonishingly deep changes to the federal government’s payments system without clearance. “I think it’s more the staff who have an issue with Elon than President Trump,” one Republican aide told the publication. “There could be a collision course coming here at some point,” the staffer added, pointing out that some believe Musk is “getting too big for his breeches.” According to Wired’s reporting, there’s growing concern that the blinding number of policy decisions are being made at such a breakneck pace that even the president’s office isn’t capable of keeping track — an unease that highlights just how chaotic and destructive the first two weeks of Trump’s tenure have been. Many have also pointed out that …

Last month, it was revealed that CBS, shortly after cancelling long-running series Blue Bloods, had decided to axe the NCIS spin-off. The decision was not met lightly by viewers. The timing of the cancellation – two weeks before the show’s third season was due to end – has particularly irked fans who were left concerned that the show would not provide a satisfying conclusion. As the police procedural series’ finale aired on Monday (7 May), these fears were realised when the episode ended on a giant cliffhanger. *Spoilers follow – you have been warned* All seemed to be going well when the episode featured a send-off of sorts for the main ensemble, in the form of a surprise party thrown for Jane (Vanessa Lachey). The characters, including Sam (LL Cool J), Ernie (Jason Antoon), …

“When you’re furious get curious”: How to handle emotional hijacking

Adapted from Ask: Tap into the Hidden Wisdom of People Around You for Unexpected Breakthroughs in Leadership and Life by Jeff Wetzler. Published by Hachette Books. Copyright 2024. All rights reserved. While curiosity is almost always the right choice, it’s often not the easy one. I find questions most effective when I work through them with another person. However, I’ve noticed some situations when staying curious is particularly hard. Call these curiosity killers. In the experience of Jamie Higgins, an executive coach to top leaders throughout corporate America, [emotional hijacking] is by far the most challenging of all the curiosity killers. When we get emotionally activated — quite common when people are telling us things we need but might not want to hear — we face a choice: We can reactively race to the top of our ladders, or we can notice our reaction and use it as a cue to slow down and choose curiosity. With practice, negative and uncomfortable emotions can become gateways into strengthening our curiosity and deepening our learning from others. …

Furious plane passenger pays extra for window seat | Weird | News

Published by skeptic

A furious airline passenger has said her flight was ruined after she paid extra for a window seat only to find they were sat next to a blank panel. Taking to Reddit to complain about the incident, the traveller explained how while she wasn’t fussed about a lack of leg room, she was disappointed with the lack of a view. The woman, who did not name herself in the post, said she was “mildly frustrated” by the situation on the Delta flight. In the comments below the post she explained how despite boarding the plane in good spirits, she had become increasingly dismayed as she approached her seat. She explained: “I was excited to board the plane knowing my seat was A12. “My smile slowly faded as I approached my seat counting the passing rows. My disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined.” The ordeal was further complicated by the fact there were no alternative seats and the fact the passenger was travelling with family. As a result, she added: “It was disappointing but …

Furious Tory voters now want to destroy the party that betrayed Britain

Furious Tory voters now want to destroy the party that betrayed Britain

Published by Sam

Make no mistake, British politics is feeling the early tremors of an earthquake – one that could prove even more of a spectacular leveller than the crumbling of the Red Wall. The sentiment driving it is an enigma. It isn’t the “ick factor” – the visceral disgust that seeped into Westminster discourse in the 2010s. It isn’t populist “anger” – the rebellious mixture of ire and optimism that propelled boomer voters to vote for Brexit and crush Corbyn’s Labour. It is the white heat of moral rage: an almost ecclesiastical wrath to mete out justice on a fallen party. Put simply, the Tory heartlands have had enough. A full-blown revolution may just be afoot. It could upend politics for good. True the first rule of British politics is not to read too much into local elections, and the second is to never underestimate the power of voter clientelism. Yet the scale and geographic distribution of Tory losses in local elections suggests that something unprecedented is happening. Labour has taken control of councils in Tory heartlands …

Laura Kuenssberg forced to break up furious row between Labour and Tories | Politics | News

Published by skeptic

The BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg was force to intervene and break up a furious row between the Tory and Labour spokesmen tonight, as the pair refused to pull their punches over Rwanda. The row began when Tory deputy chairman Jonathan Gullis condemned Labour’s London mayoral campaign insults as “disgusting and abhorrent”, referring to Wes Streeting’s tweet comparing the Conservative candidate Susan Hall to white supremacists. Mr Gullis said the slur was “disgusting and abhorrent, especially when the Labour Party were the ones found to have breached the equality act three times under Jeremy Corbyn with the Antisemitism that went rampant in their party”. Labour’s Jonathan Ashworth called the criticism “nonsense”, and mocking Mr Ashworth’s delight this week that Britain had deported its first migrant to Rwanda. Mr Ashworth pointed to over 700 migrants crossing the Channel this Thursday, but Mr Gullis shot back: “Well what’s your deterrent?” “Your idea is ‘we’re going to tell people if they come to this country they can claim asylum’, you’re then going to process them quicker, if you process them …

Tesla Fans Furious as Company Fires Supercharger Team, Cancels Supercharger Leases

Tesla Fans Furious as Company Fires Supercharger Team, Cancels Supercharger Leases

Published by skeptic

Earlier this week, news emerged that Tesla CEO Elon Musk had let go of the entire 500-person team working on its Supercharger network, the company’s flagship network of chargers that’s significantly set it apart from its EV competitors. The company has even already begun pulling out of key Supercharger location leases, as Electrek reports. And Tesla owners, who had long been compelled by Musk’s vision for a more reliable, nationwide fast-charging network, are furious. To many, a convenient and significantly faster way to charge their vehicles was why they chose to buy a Tesla in the first place. With Musk seemingly abandoning ambitions to expand the network, many owners — who have otherwise turned a blind eye to his racist antics and questionable behavior — are starting to turn against the mercurial billionaire. “Superchargers are what convinced me on Tesla,” one user wrote on the TeslaMotors subreddit. “Hopefully this isn’t the beginning of the end.” It’s a major reversal for Musk, who showed off sleek renders of a Tesla Hotel, a 24-hour diner, and a …
