Trump addresses speculation over Elon Musk's West Wing office plans

[wiyosaya]

This is such a click bait article. Why would you even write about this on a tech website? Trump just passed a 500 billion Stargate AI Infrastructure bill that could provide 100k of jobs in AI and Cyber, but this is what you decide to write about? and of course the triggered, salty, Trump haters are salivating to get their "thoughts" in on the post.

And yet you clicked after taking the bait.

Musk and Trump are a disgrace. If you Americans think they care about you. You couldn't be more wrong.
Where do you think all that money from all those programs there cutting are going?
That money is going right into there pockets.

Musk and Trump are nothing but one big Grift and you all are gonna pay for it.

50.4% of the US Electorate realize that. The US constitution has this outdated thing called the "Electoral College" which was intended, at the time, for DUMMIES to put their faith in their fellow man to elect the best person for the job of President of the US. (Of course, 49.6% of the US electorate needed that this time since 47 lost the popular vote - AGAIN!)

Political commentary is why I left ArsTechnica, and it seems the articles here are wading further and further into the muck.

Care about me??? I don't believe any politician cares about me, let alone cares about 320 million other individuals. Its not possible, we have different needs, and care is a loaded word regardless. We have two alternative core view points here in the US. And the two view points differ in most things, but nothing is disagreed on more than the role of government, the purpose of federalism, and additionally the responsibility of the citizenry. Commonality is the connection, not a need to be cared for.
And as a side note, "putting the saved money in there pockets" is not a thing, its not how the government gets money, it just wont be printed or allocated, so it literally will just not exist ...cant take nothing from nothing.

No he won the popular vote. Additionally the idea of a government for the people, by the people is still to date, historically the most successful form of government. The electoral college is a necessity for that implementation.
Not sure when I hear people trash the form of government they live in, what they would change it with, nor if they can state a time or place in history where their would be adoptive form of government was anywhere near has prosperous for their citizenry.
