Hope y'all like dying. Because that's what regulations prevent.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

What's the expression? "Every safety regulation is written in blood" ?
The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) includes the laws governing the Food and Drug Administration. These laws are written in the blood of the exploited and vulnerable, like the victims of the Tuskeege Syphillis Experiment. Many of these regulations are specifically written to keep pharmaceutical and food companies from cutting corners in product development, testing, and manufacturing.
It's not a necessary disruption. It's going to kill a lot of vulnerable people.
Going to get Nuralink to market, though.
I've raged and seethed about Neuralink so many times. There are so many obstacles needed to be overcome for a true Brain Computer Interface to work. Unless the company has magically solved some of the hardest problems in bioengineering, they're just sacrificing monkeys for sport.
Totally agree. Next up? Humans!
Probably the latter
Bumbling around in the dark killing creatures due to incompetence.
That will also kill so many people
Well, then the US can forget about ever exporting anything and keep their unregulated vehicles.
This guy is such an amazing inspiration. It's almost magical how he can work full time, plus weekends, in office at DOGE, Tesla, Neuralink, Boring Co., SpaceX, Twitter, and Evil Corp. I can only dream of having that kind of work ethic, intelligence, and charisma.
He also has a top character in path of exile 2 despite not knowing how to play and the default language being Chinese and reference on the account referring to Elon in the third person. Either he's billionaire Nazi Hermione or he's a walking disappointment surrounded by more talented people with no dignity... Like all the famous Nazis.
For every regulation that applies to you as a regular citizen there's probably 500 that apply to businesses. Musk is doing it for himself.
I imagine Musk is far too big of a pussy to actually abolish all Federal regulations. And if he does I'm installing an auto sear, a suppressor, a short barrel, and a pistol brace all on my gun at once. It'll only take a couple of us doing that for you to see the fastest U-turn on that idea in history.
I can only imagine that the intent is to leave all of the regulations that restrict personal individual freedom in place and just gut all the ones preventing big businesses from exploiting you however they want. Or maybe just specifically the ones that are holding Musk's own enterprises back, which is even more plausible.
Full auto baby, me too. The fucking minute it’s legal.
I am having my buddy machine glock switches that I will sell on EBay if they do that. We will make a killing in the first couple weeks before the market gets saturated.
Cool, can he make a carbon fiber submarine now and make use of the lack of regulations to implode himself?
Sorry, Elon musk is too stupid to engineer a piloted airplane, let alone a submersible - eirher capable of leaving the surface more than 1000 feet. He's also too week and craven to pilot either himself.
Does President Musk run everything by First Buddy Trump?
We barely have any regulations as it is, compared to ACTUAL 1st world countries.
WHICH REGULATIONS ELON, WHICH ONES?
Copyright? Patents? (Sadly, those will likely stay)
A lot of these regulations are in place at the direction of congress through laws they have passed. That's where the authority comes from.... I don't see how republicans will be able to repeal these laws quickly. So how far can Musk really go when legislation can still be stalled and/or fillibustered?
Hopefully some semblance of the balance of power holds. Federal regulations are often times the bare minimum with states adding in more stringent requirements.

The approach republicans are using is simply doing what they want and because they are in power in all 3 branches of government, not enforcing the laws preventing them from doing what they want. As in, they aren't waiting for legislation to allow their actions, they just do it without legislation skipping the check on power entirely. Because republicans hold the Legislative Branch (the branch that should check this power), they simply don't and let their republican friends in the Executive run roughshod over everything.
If there are no enforced consequences, the laws are toothless. Since the republicans in other parts of government are not enforcing consequences, there are none.
This feels like when Putin was Prime Minister. We all knew he was actually calling the shots.
Hitler too
Now if we can just get rid of that pesky regulation known as the Constitution of the United States of America!
When did he get demoted?
"6 million? We can beat that in far less time, German efficiency my fat, hairy orange ass" trump probably.
We found the conflict of interest
He's serving as Chancellor, probably working on a new title on the back end.
So? I don't care if our President is Profiting Off His position of POWER! UNLESS it's HUNTER BIDEN!
