Re: Oh, it's so much more convenient ....

Bit unfair to the OP given the daily/minutely anti Musk/Trump spewing in these comment sections even on unrelated stories.

>Whatever that code is now needs to be hunted down and nuked into orbit!

Nah, keep it. Lets have some transparency.

Where was the money going, what are you scared of? The truth?

The list of payments by USAID for eg. are truly shocking. To Politco, Gamer Gate smears, Gautamalan sex change operations, the Ukraine coup in 2014, meddling in Wikipedia.

More will come out. And you aren't interested? Sure, its about privacy. Is it balls. Let gets it all out on the table and see whats what.

Tax payers money shouldn't be spent on the party in power (which ever "side") to shill out its own propoganda. The International Development org that JFK intended is not _this_

Re: The word you are looking for USA is...

Checks and balances?

Thats what the US are getting now when they are examining the payments made by USAID.

You think people unearthing years or misuse of billions of dollars are the problem, not the actual problem itself?

Its the people looking? LOL You've lost the plot.

Funding the coup in Ukraine, which is why there are people dying is a good use of their funding?

https://www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2015-05/ukraine-usa-maidan-finance/seite-2

That article is from 2015. $5 Billion provided by USAID. Totally the right thing to do by pulling USAID down. But sure, Musk/Trump are the bad guys, and its a "coup".

You posters are lost in personal hate and have lost all objectivity.

Tilda Rice

Re: It's week two.

Yes, have a political forum would be a great idea so we don't have to listen to the mass hypocrisy.

Unless you think sending tax payers money to Guatamala for sex change operations is valid use of US taxpayers money.

Or Elizabeth Warren speaks the truth, and has never received PAC money or been honest about her heritage.

Or Politoco receiving 8 milion dollars from USAID. Thats not "International Development".

But yeah, yell at the messenger (Musk) and not address the corruption.

Oh please. I know its fashionable with a certain type of idiot to spend all day posting anti Musk/Trump bilge. But claiming Teslas are unreliable is dumb, even for this place.

Even this lady thinks so:

"At the same time, some representatives of Ukrainian civil society support an audit, including Olena Trehub, executive director of the Independent Anti-Corruption Commission and a member of the Anti-Corruption Council at the Defense Ministry.

On February 2, Trehub wrote on Facebook that she had "always emphasized the need to reform USAID, as, by monitoring the effectiveness of projects, she saw how enormous budgets pass through this government agency and how often the results leave much to be desired.""

USAID will be rolled into the state department. So nobody needs to wet their pants. Apart from the wronguns being weeded out.

Re: Great pic *roll eyes*

And the "other side" will mock people like you and the majority lefty journos who are just idealogically opposed so can't be objective. Nobody except Musk himself will ever really know what was meant by it. That won't stop either "side" from having their 2p on it. And you and your ilk would have being spewing anti Trump anti Musk posts every hour of every day of every week into every single post on El Reg whether he did his mad gesture or not. Nobody needed reminding to post their toxicity here. You're all naturals. (And still musing "can't understand how we lost the election") Oh yeah, such a mystery :)

Trump eyes up to 100% tariffs on foreign semiconductors, TSMC in crosshairs

Tilda Rice

Exactly. By definition, if you are legal with a right to work or temp visa and came through a port of entry then you are legal.

If you break into a country without the proper paperwork illegally, then you are a criminal.

Certain brain people can't quite wrap their head around that though. :)

Tilda Rice

>https://taxfoundation.org/research/all/federal/trump-tariffs-trade-war/

The *** Biden *** administration kept most of the Trump administration tariffs in place, and in May 2024, announced tariff hikes on an additional $18 billion of Chinese goods, including semiconductors and electric vehicles, for an additional tax increase of $3.6 billion.

We estimate the imposed Trump-Biden tariffs will reduce long-run GDP by 0.2 percent, the capital stock by 0.1 percent, and employment by 142,000 full-time equivalent jobs.

Actual stats, not just mouthing off in these juvenile comment areas.

Biden put plenty of tarrifs on China already. Trump is largely keeping with the a similar level with a couple of extra "targets".

Whether it has Trumps desired effect on more US production remains to be seen. But the sky isn't falling down just yet, and probably won't (not that that will stop the antis spouting their drivel)

Trump 'waved a white flag to Chinese hackers' as Homeland Security axed cyber advisory boards

Tilda Rice

No. You haven't done the slightest bit of reading or research have you?

This guy Montgomery (who knows naff all about cyber security BTW) is part of a lobbying org to get its hands on some of the 916 billion US spend.

Got little to do with actual threat.

This image they paint of the leaders of China and Russia holding and stroking a white cat in order for you to feel unsafe and carry on their military industrial complex spending is a simple trick - and yet low IQ people fall for it all the time.

Little comparison for you to ponder:

The segment of posters who sit poised daily to spew out their leftie hatred? He will learn soon enough, that there are plenty of you.

Tilda Rice

Whilst is amusing watching the 70+ "I hate the orange man" implosion of juvenile hate posting above.

(If only all the whining could also be put in its own feed too, one can dream)

On the actual story:

Montgomery was one of four infosec "EXPERT" witnesses

Expert? Spent all of his life in the military makes him an Cyber Security expert?

This doesn't sound like it does:

https://www.solarium.gov/about/staff/mark-montgomery

That website now links to a new organization, and he is now listed as a historical member not a current one:

https://cybersolarium.org/advisors/

The other 3 "experts" are:

CrowdStrike Senior VP of Counter Adversary Operations Adam Meyers, who previously alerted

SentinelOne VP of Cybersecurity Strategy, Brandon Wales

https://www.paladincapgroup.com/paladin-global-institute/ <- Investment capital

So some corporate sponsors lobbying? who want to promote cyber security spend are pointing at the evil over the pond?

Sure, the country that spend 916 billion on the military is "in danger". Presumably want a portion of this budget

1 United States United States 916.0 billion USD

2 China China 296.0 billion USD

3 Russia Russia 130.0 billion USD

4 India India 83.6 billion USD

5 Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia 75.8 billion USD

6 United Kingdom 74.9 billion USD

Which can simply be avoided if the legal system isn't weaponised by states, the US intelligence services not allowing a child to take pot shots at a political rival, and to stopping election interference in swings states like Pennsylvania. If the loony left hadn't gone too far, it wouldn't have allowed a more extreme opponent on the right to emerge from the shadows. The Internet has made people act so extremely that it produces lunatics on both sides. Moderation and common sense died a long time ago due to social media.

Fairly certain if you hated non whites, thats not something you'd do. Bluesky awaits you, and more of your genius thoughts.

Re: Too many white men

The majority of US citizens who voted agree. Merit > positive discrimination.

I think you'll find this lost of the loony left who will be out in force posting their complaints all over forums like this.

Re: Time...

But it was OK when people who had differing views were censored by so called "fact checkers"

So a platform is OK when its your point of view being spewed, but not when you don't agree?

The only influence on Facebook and Twitter (and YouTube) was as Zuckerberg put it "Bidens people literally screaming down the phone at my staff".

Just jog onto Bluesky and live in your own hate filled toxic bubble of full agreement. Sounds fun.

Or the UK Labour party sending foot soldiers to interfere in the US elections. More lefty hypocrisy. They literally have no concept of their own hypocritical views.

Eric Schmidt (Google)

Mark Cuban (“Shark Tank” investor)

And our old frieds Soros of course:

George Soros (Soros Fund Management)

Stop with the boring whiny hypocrisy.

Tilda Rice

Biden, who manipulated Facebook + Youtube and the legacy media to suppress stories about his crime family and involvement with Burisma?

Now wants to whine about tech oligarchs? LOL, cry me a river.

Like Starmer having the bare faced cheek to say the media coverage of the grooming gangs scandal is people seeking to gain political capital when we literally had months of their "party gate" nonsense.

Boris had a sandwich in the back garden, and he is comparing that to thousands of girls being sexually abused? The hypocrisy of lefties is breath-taking.

Biden, same ilk.

Re: > roof over your head

So socialism would stop the huge migration numbers and fix the problem then?

UK Net Immigration 2024: 728,000

https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/long-term-international-migration-flows-to-and-from-the-uk/

2.4 Citizens per dwelling

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/householdcharacteristics/homeinternetandsocialmediausage/bulletins/householdandresidentcharacteristicsenglandandwales/census2021/previous/v1

That means just to house the net people coming into the country we need to build

728,000 / 2.4 = 303,000 homes per year just to keep up with current demand just on my fag packet maths. But it matches most estimate you can find.

There is also a backlog: (4 million)

https://www.centreforcities.org/publication/the-housebuilding-crisis/

The UK could ease the problem by not issuing as many work and study VISAs.

Re: @wolfetone

>Admittedly, while this is all based on averages, I'd be interested to hear an explanation for why CEO renumeration packages are growing faster than the revenues of the companies they're working for!

Because, the relative value isn't an appropriate analogy.

Top tier footballers weren't paid tens of millions of pounds per season to kick a football in the 1960s or 1970s.

Current EPL players salary per hour would also look insane if you try to equate it with what normal wage slaves like you and I earn. Value is relative to the topic/context and can't be simply compared in an Apples and Oranges example like you've attempted.

These new anomolies are for companies pulling in sales and subscriptions across a global customer base that we didn't start experiencing in great numbers until these tech empires emerged - many as a consequence of the Internet and technology advances.

Left brain people call anything they don't agree with, far right, hate speech or discrimination. And use "safety" to suppress contrarians.

Its what the US wanted to do by plotting to murder Assange.

Tesla, Musk double down on $56B payday appeal

Tilda Rice

Re: Doesn't make sense

Funny how you to try to be patronizing, yet you only quote a single quarters numbers around cash income.

Also, believing that CEO remuneration is based on income. The package was based on stock options, and shareholders wanting Musk to retain a controlling interest.

You clearly don't understand how any of this works (or this topic) kid.

Tilda Rice

Why single Musk out for your "influencing" hate?

Bill Gates, Soros and friends all influence politics. Gates funds the Guardian. In a more sinister way, Soros funds NGOs (no transparency) even has NGOs in Ukraine - who would have thought.

Labour sending its foot soldiers to the US to influence the US election.

Influence is everywhere. The juvenile spleen venting over Musk says more about you than him.

Re: "blue haired, septum pierced children"

Nobody gives two hoots about you and your peer group of lefties opinions either. But if you post sh*te, expect people who don't agree with your view to counter it. Thats what forums are for aren't they?

Or do you wanna hang in a vacuum of like minded blue haired people listening to your own hate in a bubble? Perhaps you do. Jellied it right though, the extremism does tend to gravitate around people who see themselves as victim minority, race, gender, sexual preference. Its a state of mind fighting a non existent enemy but translates to a focus on people who aren't what the left claim them to be.

Look at Trump and his mate Hershel Walker - you know, a black guy. But the left will call Trump with a straight face Hitler.

In the same way the mainstream media treating republican voters with contempt? Calling Hispanics racist for not voting Harris. Black men who voted Trump sellouts. Literally calling Trump hitler.

The majority of Americans and probably western world citizens are tired of constant personal attacks and posts exactly like yours. Harris is a liar, Biden's pardoned his son, the Biden's are corrupt with their corruption in Ukraine (you know, the place there is a war in) Clinton's are corrupt.
