Musk and Ramaswamy’s DOGE opens hiring on X

By Eric Revell  | Fox Business The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which President-elect Trump put Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in charge of, announced on Thursday that it is opening up hiring to interested candidates. DOGE wrote in a post on Musk-owned X that those who want to work on its cost-cutting push should send their résumés via direct message on X. To send a DM to the DOGE account, users are currently required to be verified, which entails at least an $8-per-month premium X subscription. "We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. We don't need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous c...

Spakovsky: No, Elon Musk is not breaking federal election law

By  Hans von Spakovsky , Commentary | Daily Signal Despite what you may hear from leftist so-called election law “experts,” Elon Musk is not violating federal law with his America PAC’s million-dollar lottery for registered voters who sign his “Petition in Favor of Free Speech and the Rights to Bear Arms.” Those who mistakenly claim otherwise are ignoring the terms of the petition and the text of the applicable federal statute in order to take a swipe at Musk. Musk’s very vocal support for the First Amendment, which he says is under “relentless” attack, is nothing new. He announced in April that he would fund a national signature campaign in support of free speech, and he’s frequently said defending free speech is one of the main ...

California government blocks new Musk rocket launches, citing Trump support

By Kenneth Schrupp  | The Center Square The California government denied an Air Force request to allow Elon Musk’s SpaceX to increase its California rocket launches, citing Musk’s politics. The Department of Defense and a large bipartisan coalition of lawmakers endorsed the launch expansion, with some center-left housing activists attacking the vote as no different than the California Coastal Commission’s consistent denial of housing.  The Air Force and Space Force had requested that the California Coastal Commission allow SpaceX to increase its annual permitted launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara from 36 to 50.

Turley: Liberals are losing their minds over Elon Musk

By Jonathan Turley, commentary | The Hill This week, Elton John  publicly renounced the Rocket Man — no, not the 1972 song, but Elon Musk, whom he called an “a**hole” in an awards ceremony. Sir Elton, 77, is only the latest among celebrities and pundits to denounce Musk for his support of former president Donald Trump and his opposition to censorship. Musk-mania is so overwhelming that some are calling for his arrest, deportation and debarment from federal contracts. This week, the California Coastal Commission rejected a request from the Air Force for additional launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base. It is not because the military agency did not need the launches. It was not because the nation and the community would not benefit from them. Rather, it was reporte...

‘This will be the last election’ if VP Kamala Harris wins the presidency: Elon Musk

Drag them to register to vote.” “There’s only two days left to register in both Georgia and Arizona,” Musk added. “And then make sure they actually do vote. If they don’t, this will be the last election. That’s my prediction.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST Click Here

Musk blasts FCC for ‘illegally’ pulling Starlink award, says it would’ve helped victims of Hurricane Helene

By  Eric Revell  | Fox Business Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk on Wednesday said that the Federal Communications Commission's decision to not move forward with an award for SpaceX's Starlink to provide rural broadband may have cost lives in North Carolina when it was hit by Hurricane Helene. Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, responded to a post on X from a user who noted that "North Carolina would have 19,522 working Starlink kits available today after Hurricane Helene had the FCC not revoked in bad faith the grant that was awarded to SpaceX as the winning bidder." "Had the FCC not illegally revoked the SpaceX Starlink award, it would probably have saved lives in North Carolina," Musk wrote in his response. "Lawfare costs lives."
