There were so many Executive Orders I completely missed that. Regardless, the news articles I just checked seems to indicate that Musk has not actually joined the government agency at this point.

Even if he has, it is irrelevant to my actual argument. If Musk wields power with Trump then why was Altman given a platform? Musk and Altman aren't fans of each other. Trump even said Elon hates Altman.

> Musk, heading said operations, says he is working out of DOGE’s headquarters in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building


Again, I don't care about any of this. Please address my actual argument. Going off on this tangent makes me suspect you have no response to my argument.


You’ve been wrong twice already. Do you really want to keep this line of questioning?

None of them “like” each other. Do you really think Tim Cook - a gay man from Alabama - wants to be in the same room with Trump and Christian conservatives? It’s all about access


I've been on wrong on things that are completely irrelevant and you failed to address the actual point over multiple posts.

> None of them “like” each other.

Perhaps, but not all of them are suing each other like Musk is doing with Altman.

> Do you really think Tim Cook - a gay man from Alabama - wants to be in the same room with Trump and Christian conservatives? It’s all about access

Believe it or not, but people can be friendly and enjoy other people's company even if they have political disagreements. I'm not saying that is the case here, but some people aren't as obsessed with politics as you seem to be.

Trump was the first president to come into office supporting legal gay marriage so I doubt Cook being gay is an issue with Trump...


Really? You have seen how he is having the federal government scrub literally any mention of gay from any website?

And you were wrong about DOGE being an official government department and Musk being in charge of it. How much more influence could Musk have? He is literally running the same playbook with the federal government as he did with Twitter.

Altman is just a trophy piece to be brought out for pictures like Cook


I don't particularly think the government needs to mention gay on its website. I also don't think they need to mention straight, bi or any other sexual orientation.

That doesn't change the fact that Trump was the first president to come into office supporting gay marriage. It also doesn't change the fact that Trump had the first openly gay person on his cabinet (Richard Grenell). Grenell spent some of time trying to get gay marriage legalized in countries where it was illegal and Trump knew that.

Trump's issue with LGBT is the T part, not the gay part.
