Politics and business don’t follow the same rules. Eliminate ‘waste’ in a business and you increase profits. Eliminate ‘waste’ in government and who cares? Taxpayers won’t remember. DC won't forget.
Unfair article. Musk is taking enormous personal and financial risk to uncover grand theft by corrupt politicians. He knew what he was doing and made the sacrifice anyway. He’s already lost billions of dollars and has his life threatened daily. You write this crap but no one is trying to kill you.
Michael, goes to show that You and I can not predict the future. For every action there is an opposite reaction is how the saying goes. Have to admire his tenacity. All though I agree with what He is trying to accomplish. A tough row to hoe.
Elon is catching death threats and may face them for the rest of his life when he could just be on a yacht somewhere impregnating a conga line of supermodels.
And now Bill’s TDS goes after the Musk. A man who gave up everything to give back to the country that gave him everything. If all he cared about was money and fame he would have stayed status quo, but he didn’t. Trying to save America has cost him a trillion dollars but he never complained. Thank God for people like him willing to take on the beast of the swamp.
"At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats."
Really Bob! The real Bill Bonner would never attack anyone who is actually doing the right thing for our country, and at such a personal cost. I believe Bill hired a mentally disturbed democrat as his ghost writer, or is sitting on his computer, in diapers, drooling, and doesn’t even know what day it is 🤔. Like most democrats 🤪
Wow. This may be the WORST diatribe ever from you Bonner. It’s not the PEOPLE that don’t want his cars it’s a bunch of far left progressives. And guess what? They weren’t even in the voting majority last election. Without Musk buying Twitter (remember how that abused him over that?) and making Thousands of tweets public the American people would not know for sure how corrupt government and our medical leaders are. Now his team is exposing dishonesty and fraud at levels so high it boggles the mind. If the American people aren’t moved by this information then American doesn’t deserve a Democracy, and the world could slide into darkness.
Exactly, Elon has moved into the Whitehouse for Secret Service protections as they dismantle the deep state funding machine. Their lives are at risk. Their children's lives are at risk. He knew what he was getting into when he read the DM's of all the government gangsters involved in this institutionalized grift.
Don’t humor these leftists assholes with that “progressive” moniker they sooo love (yes, we ALL know - or should - where it originated). As time and history have now proved, there is nothing at all “progressive” about the statist, authoritarian ideology they embrace. Nothing at all.
Musk is an easy target. Anyone who stands out from the crowd so distinctly is an easy target. But is there anything we can learn from his experience? How about this: he grew up in a beautiful country with severe social problems and left with his parents when he was young. Did his parents go to Europe, or Australia, or Argentina? No, they went to the USA. When Musk had an idea for an internet-based payment system, did he implement it in Europe, Australia or Argentina? No again. When he had an idea for an electric car he developed it in the USA. When he had an idea for a fast satellite communication link, he did it in the USA. When he wanted to start a space launch system, he did it here. Is he appreciative of the opportunity he had in the USA to implement his ideas? You bet he is, and he tells anyone who will listen he appreciates the opportunity he had in the USA. Could he have done all this elsewhere? I don't think so.
Did he have setbacks? Yes. Will he have more? Probably. Is he dismayed? It doesn't appear so. Is he on the spectrum? I'm not a medical practitioner and can't judge. Is he an easy target for criticism, fair or unfair? I'll let readers be the judge of that.
Like I said at the outset, he's an easy target. We can point out his shortcomings or we can appreciate the things he has developed that improve our life. Sitting right here in rural Ohio I use Starlink to connect at high speed with the rest of the world. Thank you Mr. Musk.
Musk’s interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin says a lot about Musk. Sorkin was on the subject of Musk’s X losing advertisers due to Musk’s politics. Sorkin insinuated that Musk the business man was misguided. Musk replied, They think they can bribe me with money? Go “eff” themselves. Is it possible Musk possesses that trait sorely missing in the political theatre today - integrity?
Flier. No, and I apologize for the confusion. I agree with your post and was attempting to complement Musk for having integrity - something in short supply in the political realm. I have never met the man. Don’t know his heart but his words seem genuine. Anyone who cannot be “bought” by the mob has my support.
Flier , if I may add a person can have all good qualities, but If He or She does one thing that does not agree with You , that thing is remembered. Yes 99 good things and the 1 so called bad thing is remembered. Such is human nature.
Bill - I am to the point where I see your update and I cringe. We all know you have a severe case of TDS, but now you are exhibiting symptoms of EDS. Disappointing at best, but keep putting your slightly deranged opinions out there - it’s probably good for the world to see your take. Maybe try offering some positive mental attitude takes. We all know that the folks running DC into the ground have been there for years. Trump and Elon are trying to save this sinking ship and all you can do is offer high criticism! Cheers
EXACTLY! And since I’m paid up for 2025, I might as well stay and enjoy the comments of the peanut gallery here. Next year, though, forget about it. It has become apparent the throw-darts-at-the-stock-page method of investment directing is probably more profitable than the picks of the BPR global-galavanting, ahem, “Investment Director.” Certainly can’t be any WORSE. The Big Loss™️ is real…and Dyson-induced.
Yes, you are correct about the government not caring about much that the present administration does; the Democrats are all about government and so the constant pushback on everything Trump and his cabinet does.
No, Musk is fine. He will adapt and overcome. He didn't become what he is by letting emotion overcome reason. You do not understand the Musk type personality and how it works. Musk is fine!
Now the public, that's "a horse of another color". The general public is governed by fear and greed. They let emotion overrun reason, because they are used to immediate gratification and so they become the losers in most cases by their "knee-jerk" actions having no understanding of how the financial climate operates.
The public is also misled by a tsunami of paid-for protests and propaganda that push the narrative to the left. The MSM Regime media help push the false narratives that haunt the Libtarded. And are paid handsomely for doing so. Honest dealers, like Musk, can't get a fair shake in this environment.
Let's not forget another MAJOR Musk achievement - showing us that the vast majority of the money you mention was STOLEN FROM THE TAX PAYERS by the garbage dimocrat communists...
Poor Bill Bonner.........your minions just don't get it. I am constantly amazed how many have drunk the lemonade. We are living in Jonestown. Is anybody paying attention to what is happening in the world and much bluster comes out of the Big Man but not much results. Have they even looked at the Spending Bill that is - as we type/read - being approved by the Senate. $4T - that is Trillion, minions, Trillions - added to the debt ceiling. At least $2T more to the debt per year for the next 2 years. There are NO spending cuts - watch what happens, not what they say. History is full of the disasters but they are all wrapped in the shrill of saving this or that. Where is the Big Man on the slaughter in Gaza, and now the butchering in Syria. Nothing. Silent. Absence. Horrific genocide and nary a word. But Ol' Bill only sees the negative - what positive is there to see........help me out with that? There is NO savings - read the bill. Wake-Up. Time to smell the coffee.
“Slaughter in Gaza”? Go ask the POS Hamas “religion of peace” assholes about that. There WAS peace in the Middle East, right up until there wasn’t on October 7, 2023. So, too bad these peace-loving muslims bought the WHOLE can of whup-ass this time. Not a single tear shed here, Ol’ Man. And know, those jihadi f*cks would just as soon cut YOUR infidel throat as to look at you. Your Gaza sympathy doesn’t mean sh!t to them.
Peace in the Middle East until 10/7? Perhaps you haven't read that Nuttyyyahoo himself funded Hamas to keep the Palestinians divided. There is no way Mossad didn't know that attack would take place. Plus, Israel provided medical treatment for ISIS fighters wounded in Syria while attempting to overthrow Assad. Nutty and the Zionist will stop at nothing to achieve their goal of Greater Israel.
Like, ahem, ‘Nuttyyahoo’ has said: if the Arabs put down their weapons, there will be no more violence. If Israel puts down its weapons, there will be no more Israel.
Truth. And the last time I checked, it wasn’t Jews charging into bars, nightclubs, buildings, yelling “All you can eat snackbar”, detonating themselves, committing mass murder. It’s those wonderful adherents of the “religion of peace” spreading all the good cheer.
So no problem with NuttyYahoo funding Hamas? How about Nutty saying America is the golden calf and they will suck it dry? How about the Dancing Israelis? Or the attack in the USS Liberty? Or Nutty and company providing medical treatment for ISIS fighters wounded in Syria? How about Trump sending billions to Israel while he and his boy Elon are firing veterans? Could you give me one good reason we should borrow money to send to Israel while we are drowning in debt?
All Gaza arabs want is DEATH to the Jews and Americans. Trump stopped giving our money to Gaza and the missiles stopped, Biden renewed the giving of our money to Gaza and the Missiles began to fall on Israel again. See the connection.
The arab terrorist created 9/11 which caused my company to close and I lost millions of $$$. I have NO love for the Muslim Cult, posing as a peaceful religion. Why were giving money to those people who hate us and want to KILL us?
Avoiding the question? Maybe Nuttyyahoo is a Muslim too. Why would he fund Hamas and provide medical treatment for ISIS fighters? Why has ISIS never attacked Israel? Are these tough questions? I just don't understand why any US citizen thinks we should fund Israel - a country whose debt to GDP is half ours. Maybe research the Dancing Israelis and tellw you still think Israel is our ally.
Stupid? My Mensa number is 1047318 - do you have one? I was a Republican and voted for Trump twice. Then he lied about the 2020 election being stolen and tried to
stay in power illegally. I then started reading books about Trump - I'm now up to
26. Started with Liz Cheney's book. Anyone who reads it would never vote for Trump.
Unfortunately, MAGA people don't read books. The Republican party is no more -
it's now a Trump commanded cult. I like General Kelly's comment about Trump -
It seems to be a common trait in these insane woke progressive liberals. They think conservatives are the dumbest people in America, and they are the smartest. We are too dense to really understand what is going on. And, if he gives Liz Cheny any credit, he's really dumb. Also, the 2020 election was stolen and everybody knew it would be when they allowed mail-in voting. It's amazing how dumb some of these people are. About everything they spout is mostly projection. If you think men should compete in women's/girls sports don't even engage in the conversation.
What's a typo in that mental number it actually, .1047318. The mensa a guy who started reading books..Liz Chaineys first. He and Al gore invented the internet. He didn't manufacture an electric car. He just bought a twelve year old prius. Go Mensa!
PS - Anyone who has to bleat about their "MENSA Number" in a sad effort to convince others how "smart" they are is definitely in the lowest 10% of individuals worth knowing, listening to or respecting. The fact that you don't see this proves my point...
Yup! From under a rock. intelligence and common sense/reason are not necessarily compatible. One must overcome the necessity to 'blow one's own horn", it should be evident from content of message.
Very good , James , Keep it up . I don't understand why, these fascist republinut commentators way out number the pro Bonner people in the comments section.
So your expectation is a solution? Really? Did Bill ever say he was going to offer you a solution? He's simply reporting what he sees. That is all he has ever said he would do. Apparently you believe that Elon is The Solution. I don't recall voting for him do you?
Lol 😂 Victor Orban is dismantling democracy? Same old leftist talking points. He’s closed the Hungarian borders to the Muslim onslaught all over the rest of Europe and for that, you claim he’s destroying democracy? What kind of lunatic asylum let you out? He’s told the EU to go pound sand. And I thank him for that. I guess canceling elections and such, as they’ve done in the uKraine, is your idea of democracy? Or just overturning the election in Belarus is your idea of democracy? You’re one sick puppy.
Musk is a cardboard cutout phony; an empty suit; a carnival barker fronting companies and technologies designed and created by someone else; and all funded by us, the tax mules.
While I mostly agree with the premise of your article, what's the harm in Elon's unselfish attempt to eliminate some waste in our government? Will he succeed? The odds are against him, but I applaud him for at least giving it a try.
And once again, I’ve wasted another hour or so reading the comments on Bonner’s screed. I read do think he’s agitated the normal folks on purpose. It’s been entertaining as far as that goes but I’m over it at this point. As soon as my paid for subscription is up, I’m out. I have followed Mr Bill for at least 25yrs, mostly for his descriptive prose, the financial was secondary. Lately though, the “prose” has gotten more surly and dogmatic. I need that like a whole in the head. I don’t even want to think about the Dyson financial advice. It’s been a fun ride but I believe it’s over. At least Bill used to write wittily and rake both sides over the coals, but it’s just been one long bitter diatribe against Mr. President Trump for the last 8 years. I’ve got lots of other people that I follow who at least try to make sense of it all.
I appreciate and enjoy Bills commentary. He says it the way he sees it. What is the problem? Are we no longer allowed to have an opinion if it doesn't agree with pro Trump people? Is that where were headed? It's only good if you agree with Trump/Musk? Why are you protecting Musk? He has no business doing what he's doing. He eliminated the oversight organization that would watch him, giving him free reign to run it like a private company. It's not. This is our government, not his personal toy. Yet this one private citizen has been given free access to everything. Your private information, his opinion about what is important and what isn't, total disregard for being a responsible world citizen. He is all about money. Period. This country is losing it's soul, and no one seems to care. It will come back on us. Wake up.
I'm wondering if "Barbara" isn't just Dorothy posting under a new name? I mean there can't be two women this entirely clueless in such a small sampling of humanity, can there?
Okay, Dorothy (I mean, Barbara) let's go over a couple of things.
1. You wrote: "[Musk] has no business doing what he's doing."
Oh, but he does, Barbara. Musk is actually a real employee of a real government agency (Department of Government Efficiency) hired to do precisely what he's doing. So your claim is patently false.
2. You wrote: "He eliminated the oversight organization that would watch him"
Once again, your claim is false. While a "special government employee" isn't subject to the usual ethics and conflict-of-interest rules that full time government employees typically have to deal with, they are still subject to financial disclosure requirements and other reporting obligations. Musk did not "eliminate" any "oversight organization", and if you believe he did, how about you give us the name of it.
3. You wrote: "Yet this one private citizen has been given free access to everything."
Again, Musk is NOT merely a "private citizen"; he is a government employee acting under the direction of the POTUS, with access to whatever the POTUS desires he has access to.
4. You wrote: "[Musk has a] "total disregard for being a responsible world citizen."
Perhaps that's because he's NOT A WORLD CITIZEN!!! He is a citizen of the USA, and his allegiance should be to the USA and ONLY the USA!
5. You wrote: "Wake Up"
Please consider taking a large dose of your own medicine.
Invector: The last I read is that Elon is a citizen of the USA and Canada. I think that since Elon contributed so very generously to Trump’s campaign, he was hired as an expert or consultant or serve as members of which there are roughly 1,000 across the USA. The SGEs (Special government employee) are limited to working for the government for no more than 130 days ( we’ll see how that works). Hiring Elon this way saves a lot of red tape and, supposedly, Not being paid for his work with DOGE.
I believe he also holds South African citizenship (by birth). And from what he has said in the past, he acquired Canadian citizenship so as to make it easier to immigrate to America, but that it's his American citizenship that he truly cherishes.
That's what I was alluding to when I said, "He is a citizen of the USA, and his allegiance should be to the USA and ONLY the USA!"
That "world citizen" thing that Barbara mentioned makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. None of us ANYWHERE are world citizens. And if we ever become world citizens, we will surely be living in a dystopian, totalitarian hell-hole with no liberty whatsoever.
MW: If you were not so stupid, you would have realized that It’s no longer a “man’s world.” Woman have rights and are intelligent and well read. Look in the mirror and you will find the lunatic!
Thank you Invector! The mental illness we witness with these ladies are the common trait of liberal women. Again, as we have lived through these most unimaginable times starting with the Obamanation, it’s the highly demented leftist females that have been the main reason for America’s demise. We just can’t fix stupid and insanity is even more dangerous to deal with, especially when these sick people are in positions of power, placed there by their own demented constituents. You can pick any of the too many examples I speak of, and just look at them and their eyes and faces and you see the mental illness pouring out of their pores. Scary battle coming but the truth is starting to shine, and hopefully enough Americans will wake to stop this madness 🤔
SSRI Prescriptions, Boxed Wine and an Overpopulation of Cats up for Adoption. When these 3 things are mixed with a generally flimsy intellect that is driven primarily by Emotion - we get to where we are now...
I'm quickly reminded how much I miss reading your stuff. I've been sidetracked by my HOA Board Membership that has me overseeing a million dollar "Landscape and Beautification Project". The sandwich question had me in tears.
SL: Somewhere you lost your way. Reread what you just wrote: it’s the highly demented leftist females that have been the main reason for America’s demise..etc., etc. I guess if we don’t follow your lead, we are doomed. But I do agree with you that sick people are in positions currently and I hope we can survive. Mental illness is YOU. What happened to you?? OK…never mind; I really don’t care if you respond.
She's like the Japanese soldiers that refused to surrender until the 1970s.
She was cloistered in her home, forced to wear a mask, forced to take a shot and ripped off as part of a group over trillions of dollars and we need to wake up?
Bill: It appears that you are hallucinating again. Surprised that you can make it through the day w/o getting lost…but don’t give up. You might make it yet…maybe.
BM: The Trump people excuse anything , or most anything, that Trump does or says. I agree that Elon and the others( whoever they are) have no authority to rummage thru top classified documents the way they did. Can these people be trusted to view these
Unfair article. Musk is taking enormous personal and financial risk to uncover grand theft by corrupt politicians. He knew what he was doing and made the sacrifice anyway. He’s already lost billions of dollars and has his life threatened daily. You write this crap but no one is trying to kill you.
Michael, goes to show that You and I can not predict the future. For every action there is an opposite reaction is how the saying goes. Have to admire his tenacity. All though I agree with what He is trying to accomplish. A tough row to hoe.
Elon is catching death threats and may face them for the rest of his life when he could just be on a yacht somewhere impregnating a conga line of supermodels.
Meh - even that gets boring, Sam. I took up Golf as a diversion from the tedium...
;)
Sam: Gosh, he only has 14 now
Death ☠️ threats?
Unfair or reality? Nobody ever said life was going to be fair. We all make our choices for better or worse.
Do you believe Elon is acting out of enlightened self interest?
yet?
And now Bill’s TDS goes after the Musk. A man who gave up everything to give back to the country that gave him everything. If all he cared about was money and fame he would have stayed status quo, but he didn’t. Trying to save America has cost him a trillion dollars but he never complained. Thank God for people like him willing to take on the beast of the swamp.
Amen & shame on our author for not seeing the whole picture. The comparison to Jesus is appalling. Shame on you Bill shame on you!
☝️Concur 100% with that comparison. But then again, Bolshevik Bill sees Trump as Satan…
And it’s taking foreigners to do it. Makes you wonder about the native born.
Musk's ego and love of power drives him.
Are those bad things when the goal is to reign-in government and EM is convinced he's the only guy capable?
Convince me!
Let's reserve Judgement for the 1-year time limit and see if the Results convince you....
I'll make a note
Bill you need more sunshine or go to Church more. You only see the negative and never the big picture positive.
Exactly. Putting a light on USAIDs actions in itself is a great achievement
Jealousy is such bad make-up on an old liberal...
Do they have anything else?

Thanks for the PJ quote Starboard! Love it 😍
Really Bob! The real Bill Bonner would never attack anyone who is actually doing the right thing for our country, and at such a personal cost. I believe Bill hired a mentally disturbed democrat as his ghost writer, or is sitting on his computer, in diapers, drooling, and doesn’t even know what day it is 🤔. Like most democrats 🤪
SL: Naughty, Naughty. There’s a whole lot of Republicans that fit that bill!
Definitely a few RINOs in with that mix my sweet Dorothy 😊
BWAAHAHAHAHA 😂😂👍👍
I agree. This man is risking everything to help our country and Bill’s take is he is a fool?
Wow, maybe some folks can look beyond their own needs.
Definitely getting the sense that Bill has shifted from “apolitical “ to anti America first?
Some famous guy once said, "Only fools and children tell the truth." Let us pray that Bill's writings attract more fools.
you confuse negativity with objectivity
And you confuse Propaganda with Truth, Theater with Reality and Hatred with Virtue...
I think he goes to a church occasionally. Unfortunately, it’s a Catholic Church
Wow. This may be the WORST diatribe ever from you Bonner. It’s not the PEOPLE that don’t want his cars it’s a bunch of far left progressives. And guess what? They weren’t even in the voting majority last election. Without Musk buying Twitter (remember how that abused him over that?) and making Thousands of tweets public the American people would not know for sure how corrupt government and our medical leaders are. Now his team is exposing dishonesty and fraud at levels so high it boggles the mind. If the American people aren’t moved by this information then American doesn’t deserve a Democracy, and the world could slide into darkness.
Oh, and you can go with it. 😵💫
Exactly, Elon has moved into the Whitehouse for Secret Service protections as they dismantle the deep state funding machine. Their lives are at risk. Their children's lives are at risk. He knew what he was getting into when he read the DM's of all the government gangsters involved in this institutionalized grift.
Don’t humor these leftists assholes with that “progressive” moniker they sooo love (yes, we ALL know - or should - where it originated). As time and history have now proved, there is nothing at all “progressive” about the statist, authoritarian ideology they embrace. Nothing at all.
Oh, no, no, no.... not even close to the worst diatribe. Bonner has descended several more rungs of hell many times over.
Amen brother!

One thing is clear: all the parasites sucking at the government teat will not go quietly or peacefully.
Blow all you want Billy; you're not big enough to rub Elon's nose in the dirt. So sit down, shut up and let the man do his job.
Bill - I am to the point where I see your update and I cringe. We all know you have a severe case of TDS, but now you are exhibiting symptoms of EDS. Disappointing at best, but keep putting your slightly deranged opinions out there - it’s probably good for the world to see your take. Maybe try offering some positive mental attitude takes. We all know that the folks running DC into the ground have been there for years. Trump and Elon are trying to save this sinking ship and all you can do is offer high criticism! Cheers
I only read Bill's columns in order to read the replies on this page which are way more intelligent than anything Bonner has to offer.
And of course Dan the Man!

The arab terrorist created 9/11 which caused my company to close and I lost millions of $$$. I have NO love for the Muslim Cult, posing as a peaceful religion. Why were giving money to those people who hate us and want to KILL us?
Here's a link to the story about Nuttyyahoo funding Hamas. Funny that this was covered in the Israel press but not here in the US. https://www-timesofisrael-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/amp/?amp_gsa=1&_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQIUAKwASCAAgM%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=17419881561351&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.timesofisrael.com%2Ffor-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces%2F
Your standard muslim: “Vee moost keel awl zee karishchuns and chews tooo shoh vee arrr peees luveen peepuls.”
Avoiding the question? Maybe Nuttyyahoo is a Muslim too. Why would he fund Hamas and provide medical treatment for ISIS fighters? Why has ISIS never attacked Israel? Are these tough questions? I just don't understand why any US citizen thinks we should fund Israel - a country whose debt to GDP is half ours. Maybe research the Dancing Israelis and tellw you still think Israel is our ally.
Not avoiding a thing, just stating the truth: islam is Satan’s religion on Earth.
Exactly
Gee, Bill, you're really getting flamed by your readers. I, for one, agree with you. Musk probably
bought the election for Trump. Now he's busy dismantling our govt, and helping Trump transform
our Democracy into an Autocracy, using the same playbook as his buddy Viktor Orban used to
destroy Hungary's democracy. He should have stuck to building cars, etc.
Are you really that stupid. Even if Elon’s intentions were totally self serving, which they are not, where’s BB solutions?Where’s your solutions?
Stupid? My Mensa number is 1047318 - do you have one? I was a Republican and voted for Trump twice. Then he lied about the 2020 election being stolen and tried to
stay in power illegally. I then started reading books about Trump - I'm now up to
26. Started with Liz Cheney's book. Anyone who reads it would never vote for Trump.
Unfortunately, MAGA people don't read books. The Republican party is no more -
it's now a Trump commanded cult. I like General Kelly's comment about Trump -
"The most flawed individual I've ever known".
You're dumbest member of Mensa ever given a number if you find Liz Cheney credible. That sounds really partisan and insane for a 'genius.'
It seems to be a common trait in these insane woke progressive liberals. They think conservatives are the dumbest people in America, and they are the smartest. We are too dense to really understand what is going on. And, if he gives Liz Cheny any credit, he's really dumb. Also, the 2020 election was stolen and everybody knew it would be when they allowed mail-in voting. It's amazing how dumb some of these people are. About everything they spout is mostly projection. If you think men should compete in women's/girls sports don't even engage in the conversation.
What's a typo in that mental number it actually, .1047318. The mensa a guy who started reading books..Liz Chaineys first. He and Al gore invented the internet. He didn't manufacture an electric car. He just bought a twelve year old prius. Go Mensa!
For being so smart, you sure are dumb.
PS - Anyone who has to bleat about their "MENSA Number" in a sad effort to convince others how "smart" they are is definitely in the lowest 10% of individuals worth knowing, listening to or respecting. The fact that you don't see this proves my point...
Book smart with 0 common sense 🤔
Steve if I may add many are book smart, but many are not learn-ed.
Please don't use hyphenated words.They will confuse him.
I wouldn’t even give them credit for book smart. What books are they reading, the Communist Manifesto??
10%? How about 0%?
Wasn't bleating , Stary , just explaining to Tommy boy he wasnt stupid.
Tommy Boy read a book too. It was called the book of matches.
"smart" people think too much of themselves...
Yup! From under a rock. intelligence and common sense/reason are not necessarily compatible. One must overcome the necessity to 'blow one's own horn", it should be evident from content of message.
Lol 😂 you read a book by a warmonger Cheney and that changed your mind? You’re a complete BOT. NEXT!
Lol 😂 lied about 2020 being stolen? And you’re a so called Mensa? Good grief.
Very good , James , Keep it up . I don't understand why, these fascist republinut commentators way out number the pro Bonner people in the comments section.
I've wondered that myself. Hard to understand what people see in Trump,
especially after he's done so many dumb things lately, like coming up
with bizarre cabinet choices just because they're myrmidons. I guess
if you're a cult member, whatever the Dear Leader says goes.
James , It Looks like a dictatorship to me .
Thats right , but also look at his HOLE career , he has been a looser in almost all his endeavors since the beginning .
Hmmmm - lot to unpack there, Patty.
Are we talking about him having a very loose grip on his Golf game - or did you mean "whole" and "loser"?
Maybe you and Jeff can get together for some one-on-one tutoring...
Step away from the Thesaurus, Toadie...
Right on James , glad to see an intelligent and true comment on Bills article.
General Kelly as a reference? Balderdash!
F James F
So your expectation is a solution? Really? Did Bill ever say he was going to offer you a solution? He's simply reporting what he sees. That is all he has ever said he would do. Apparently you believe that Elon is The Solution. I don't recall voting for him do you?
Musk is a volunteer auditor hired by DT. Don’t make shit up. BB job and jollies are just to stir the pot? He should declare that. I’m fine with that.
Where is Urs?
Lol 😂 Victor Orban is dismantling democracy? Same old leftist talking points. He’s closed the Hungarian borders to the Muslim onslaught all over the rest of Europe and for that, you claim he’s destroying democracy? What kind of lunatic asylum let you out? He’s told the EU to go pound sand. And I thank him for that. I guess canceling elections and such, as they’ve done in the uKraine, is your idea of democracy? Or just overturning the election in Belarus is your idea of democracy? You’re one sick puppy.
Cancelled elections in Romania on Line 1.
Thanks Sam I wasn’t sure which country.
And you James should crawl back under the rock you live under!
It’s gotta be a AI bot. No human being could be that stupid.
Right on , James !
Waiting for your solutions. Give me 10 bullet points. Another empty suit.
Where's yours ?
Brilliant! This masterpiece is why I subscribe to Bonner Private Research.
Musk is a cardboard cutout phony; an empty suit; a carnival barker fronting companies and technologies designed and created by someone else; and all funded by us, the tax mules.
So true , Kevin
Just like Bill Gates was... the former most powerful / influential billionaire on the planet.
KJ: Musk has changed from an entrepreneur to Trump’s clean-up man. Hopefully he will wake up before too long and realize that Trump is just using him.
While I mostly agree with the premise of your article, what's the harm in Elon's unselfish attempt to eliminate some waste in our government? Will he succeed? The odds are against him, but I applaud him for at least giving it a try.
And once again, I’ve wasted another hour or so reading the comments on Bonner’s screed. I read do think he’s agitated the normal folks on purpose. It’s been entertaining as far as that goes but I’m over it at this point. As soon as my paid for subscription is up, I’m out. I have followed Mr Bill for at least 25yrs, mostly for his descriptive prose, the financial was secondary. Lately though, the “prose” has gotten more surly and dogmatic. I need that like a whole in the head. I don’t even want to think about the Dyson financial advice. It’s been a fun ride but I believe it’s over. At least Bill used to write wittily and rake both sides over the coals, but it’s just been one long bitter diatribe against Mr. President Trump for the last 8 years. I’ve got lots of other people that I follow who at least try to make sense of it all.
I appreciate and enjoy Bills commentary. He says it the way he sees it. What is the problem? Are we no longer allowed to have an opinion if it doesn't agree with pro Trump people? Is that where were headed? It's only good if you agree with Trump/Musk? Why are you protecting Musk? He has no business doing what he's doing. He eliminated the oversight organization that would watch him, giving him free reign to run it like a private company. It's not. This is our government, not his personal toy. Yet this one private citizen has been given free access to everything. Your private information, his opinion about what is important and what isn't, total disregard for being a responsible world citizen. He is all about money. Period. This country is losing it's soul, and no one seems to care. It will come back on us. Wake up.
I'm wondering if "Barbara" isn't just Dorothy posting under a new name? I mean there can't be two women this entirely clueless in such a small sampling of humanity, can there?
Okay, Dorothy (I mean, Barbara) let's go over a couple of things.
1. You wrote: "[Musk] has no business doing what he's doing."
Oh, but he does, Barbara. Musk is actually a real employee of a real government agency (Department of Government Efficiency) hired to do precisely what he's doing. So your claim is patently false.
2. You wrote: "He eliminated the oversight organization that would watch him"
Once again, your claim is false. While a "special government employee" isn't subject to the usual ethics and conflict-of-interest rules that full time government employees typically have to deal with, they are still subject to financial disclosure requirements and other reporting obligations. Musk did not "eliminate" any "oversight organization", and if you believe he did, how about you give us the name of it.
3. You wrote: "Yet this one private citizen has been given free access to everything."
Again, Musk is NOT merely a "private citizen"; he is a government employee acting under the direction of the POTUS, with access to whatever the POTUS desires he has access to.
4. You wrote: "[Musk has a] "total disregard for being a responsible world citizen."
Perhaps that's because he's NOT A WORLD CITIZEN!!! He is a citizen of the USA, and his allegiance should be to the USA and ONLY the USA!
5. You wrote: "Wake Up"
Please consider taking a large dose of your own medicine.
Invector: The last I read is that Elon is a citizen of the USA and Canada. I think that since Elon contributed so very generously to Trump’s campaign, he was hired as an expert or consultant or serve as members of which there are roughly 1,000 across the USA. The SGEs (Special government employee) are limited to working for the government for no more than 130 days ( we’ll see how that works). Hiring Elon this way saves a lot of red tape and, supposedly, Not being paid for his work with DOGE.
I believe he also holds South African citizenship (by birth). And from what he has said in the past, he acquired Canadian citizenship so as to make it easier to immigrate to America, but that it's his American citizenship that he truly cherishes.
That's what I was alluding to when I said, "He is a citizen of the USA, and his allegiance should be to the USA and ONLY the USA!"
That "world citizen" thing that Barbara mentioned makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. None of us ANYWHERE are world citizens. And if we ever become world citizens, we will surely be living in a dystopian, totalitarian hell-hole with no liberty whatsoever.
No thank you.
Holy SCHLITS, Dots! You have somehow stumbled into the Truth on one subject. I'm impressed and you have partially renewed my Hope...
SE: Thanks! I just don’t want to over due it though.
😂 I was thinking the same thing but couldn’t quite put my finger on it Invector! Barbara is just Dorothy 2.0
MW: I’m my own person as well as she’s her own person. Obviously we see things differently than you men.
Ok. Two left wing lunatics. There’s a reason why women didn’t have the vote. Two prime examples: Dorothy and Barbara.
MW: If you were not so stupid, you would have realized that It’s no longer a “man’s world.” Woman have rights and are intelligent and well read. Look in the mirror and you will find the lunatic!
Dottie, what's the hold up with my sandwich??
Thank you Invector! The mental illness we witness with these ladies are the common trait of liberal women. Again, as we have lived through these most unimaginable times starting with the Obamanation, it’s the highly demented leftist females that have been the main reason for America’s demise. We just can’t fix stupid and insanity is even more dangerous to deal with, especially when these sick people are in positions of power, placed there by their own demented constituents. You can pick any of the too many examples I speak of, and just look at them and their eyes and faces and you see the mental illness pouring out of their pores. Scary battle coming but the truth is starting to shine, and hopefully enough Americans will wake to stop this madness 🤔
SSRI Prescriptions, Boxed Wine and an Overpopulation of Cats up for Adoption. When these 3 things are mixed with a generally flimsy intellect that is driven primarily by Emotion - we get to where we are now...
I'm quickly reminded how much I miss reading your stuff. I've been sidetracked by my HOA Board Membership that has me overseeing a million dollar "Landscape and Beautification Project". The sandwich question had me in tears.
SL: Somewhere you lost your way. Reread what you just wrote: it’s the highly demented leftist females that have been the main reason for America’s demise..etc., etc. I guess if we don’t follow your lead, we are doomed. But I do agree with you that sick people are in positions currently and I hope we can survive. Mental illness is YOU. What happened to you?? OK…never mind; I really don’t care if you respond.
Well done. Now i'm embarrassed by my comment. Kinda.
"Yet this one private citizen has been given free access to everything. "
And the writer of these words is so obtuse as to tell us to "wake up."
The Cognitive Dissonance is stunning...
PS - You probably should ask James F. what that means - he's a MENSA Wizard after all...
She's like the Japanese soldiers that refused to surrender until the 1970s.
She was cloistered in her home, forced to wear a mask, forced to take a shot and ripped off as part of a group over trillions of dollars and we need to wake up?
Bill: It appears that you are hallucinating again. Surprised that you can make it through the day w/o getting lost…but don’t give up. You might make it yet…maybe.
🤣
BM: The Trump people excuse anything , or most anything, that Trump does or says. I agree that Elon and the others( whoever they are) have no authority to rummage thru top classified documents the way they did. Can these people be trusted to view these
documents?
