Space Karen has done some crazy Buck-Rogersesque things. But I can assure you, having worked in aerospace and defense for 31 years, the things "he" has done come from his recruitment of the accomplished people he sourced from other defense contractors in the area. To wit- TRW, Northrop Grumman, Hughes Space and Com, Raytheon, etc. In my checkered past, I've worked at every one of them, and others. He's no "Galaxy Brain", he just provided the money- which he got from daddy. His ego is every bit as obese as the chump's and for the very same reasons- inherited wealth. At least he hasn't pissed it all away like the chump- he hasn't gone bankrupt. Yet.

Hey FB -- when did you work for Raytheon, and where? Mom and Dad both worked for them, Mom retired out of their Massachusetts plant in 2006. I wonder if we know someone who knew someone ...

We didn't know folks from there and that time. Between Mom and Dad, we did El Paso, Teheran, Oxnard/Goleta, and MA.

From a raytheon family myself - tampa bay. Little sis is still there running the gate. I never worked for them, personally, on account of how they're fond of nerds.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

On Monday, The Washington Post reported that Trump and his advisers have been privately talking for months about creating a commission led by business executives to identify thousands of government programs to eliminate in a Trump administration.
Musk, an ardent Trump supporter, posted what appears to be a photo of himself generated by artificial intelligence. It shows him standing at a podium that says on its front "Department of Government Efficiency." In the post, he wrote simply, "I am willing to serve."
Tesla and SpaceX have both received government funding.
Meanwhile, Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., wrote on X on August 13, "Who else loves the idea of Elon Musk heading up a government efficiency committee to eliminate the likely trillions of dollars of waste we have in our bloated bureaucracy? I can't imagine a better person for the task. Trump will make this happen!"
Trump said, "I'd put him in the Cabinet, absolutely, but I don't know how he could do that with all the things he's got going."
Trump added that Musk could serve as a consultant to his administration.

Shitstains like him are the fascist arse, remember what culture he came from.

On the latest episode of Tucker Carlson's Twitter show, historian Darryl Cooper promoted Holocaust revisionism – in the most generous interpretation of his claims – arguing about the motivations behind Nazi-constructed concentration camps.
Describing Winston Churchill as "the chief villain" of World War II, Cooper said "Germany put itself into a position ... when they went into the East in 1941, they launched a war where they were completely unprepared" to deal with the millions and millions of prisoners of war and local political prisoners and so forth that they were going to have to handle. They went in with no plan for that. They just threw these people into camps, and millions of people ended up dead there," Cooper continued.
X Owner Elon Musk shared the episode, describing it as "Very interesting. Worth watching."
Musk and Carlson have platformed antisemitism from the far-right for months, though it has taken particular speed since Musk took over X, formerly Twitter, and Carlson began hosting his show on the platform after leaving Fox News.

I know you're quoting from an article, but calling Cooper a historian would be like calling Hitler a semitophile, man has no relevant qualifications, no published and peer reviewed articles nor any positions in the field that could describe him as a historian. The cynical historian mentions him in this recent video at about 18:26, when he describes Cooper as a wannabe David Irving.
