Musk message to the Germans. In his live speech at the AFD act, the Millionaire harangued the attendees with proclamations on “the greatness of the German nation” and his “thousands of years” empire, who raised controversy for the content and tone of their speech , criticizing “a multiculturalism that dilutes everything”, as the German Spiegel said. Musk pointed to the followers of the AFD present that they should “be proud to be Germans”, and then ensure that “it points too much to the fault of the past, that is something that must be left behind”, in clear allusion to responsibility of Nazi Germany in the Holocaust.

The words pronounced by Elon Musk before the voters of the German ultra -right and, especially their tone, have raised blisters in Poland, where the 80th anniversary of the release of the Auschwitz concentration camp is celebrated by the Soviet troops.

The electoral proposal of the ultra -right party is practically a tracing of what Trump proposed in his program, betting on greater antieuropeistic nationalism, deregularization of the labor market, tax decrease for companies and deregularization of the energy market, as well as an related immigration policy to which Donald Trump is already applying. It is not the first time that Elon Musk’s interventions in German politics lift Polvareda. A few weeks ago, the owner of X granted an interview Alice Weidel, party leader, in which the German representative said with conviction that Adolf Hitler was a communist and the third Reich, socialist.

Elon Musk’s DOGE would seek to eliminate the penny coin due to its cost

by

Donald Trump’s entry into the presidency has been dizzying. He has already approved several measures through his executive orders. Within them, he created the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that will be directed by billionaire Elon Musk. And like the president, the owner of X already has his first objective when assuming his new position: remove the penny. According to a recent post on XDOGE wrote that the cost of producing a penny in the United States exceeds its nominal value, which makes it an unnecessary expense for taxpayers. According to the data provided, the US government currently spends more than 3 cents to manufacture each penny, while its value is just 1 cent (¢1). The DOGE highlighted that the US Mint produced more than 4.5 billion pennies in fiscal year 2023, representing about 40% of all coins in circulation. This process cost taxpayers more than $179 million dollars in that same year.. This figure reflects a considerable increase, since in 2016 the cost of manufacturing a penny was only 1.5 cents, less than half of what it costs today. The focus of DOGE is not limited to just the penny. Under Musk, the goal is to reduce federal spending significantly. In previous statements, former President Donald Trump assured that DOGE would provide recommendations to “cut excessive regulations, eliminate unnecessary spending and restructure federal agencies.” Musk, for his part, has made it clear that his group aims goal to reduce annual federal government spending by $500 billion. The rising cost of producing a penny is not new. According to the US Mint’s annual report for 2024, now Approximately 3.7 cents are spent for every penny manufactured and distributed. This is due in part to the increase in the price of zinc, the main material used in its manufacture, whose cost per metric ton has doubled in value since 2016. Over the years, there have been several proposals to discontinue pennies minting, including a suggestion in 2015 by then-Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew. However, some economists have warned that Removing pennies could come with complicated side effects, such as rounding off prices to multiples of 5 centswhich could lead to increases in the costs of small products. Other countries have made the decision to eliminate their low-value currencies. Canada, for example, stopped minting its one cent coin in 2012. A 2018 economic analysis found that, as a result of this move, Canadian consumers paid an additional $3.27 million annually due to price rounding in supermarkets. However, it is recognized that eliminating pennies can also reduce operating costs, such as the time it takes to count and exchange these coins, which, as the old business adage goes, “time is money.” DOGE is not limited to just the penny. According to the 2024 Mint report, nickel is also in the spotlightsince it costs about 14 cents to produce and distribute each 5-cent coin. You may also be interested in:

Justine Musk revealed one of the best productivity secrets that Elon Musk shares with Warren Buffet: saying no

by

Justine Musk is the first wife and mother of six of 11 children children of Elon Musk. He shared a life with Musk even before he became a millionaire after the sale of Zip2. This perspective of Elon Musk, before and after being a millionaire, has allowed the now writer and lecturer to discover one of the secrets of the success of the richest person in the world: say no. During a TEDx talk in 2014Justine Musk highlighted Elon Musk’s ambition and ability to focus, but also a talent that not everyone possesses, such as saying no. Saying no is saying yes As Justine Musk explained, a good part of her ex-husband’s success lay in saying no to many things that they were going to consume your timeto say yes to others that were going to lead him to success. “He said no to people who wanted his time, attention and energy. He said no in a way that protected his resources so he could channel them toward his own goals. And I understood that behind every no there is a deeper ‘yes’ to what what you want,” Justine said in her talk. “Your deep yes is your right to dream,” the writer concluded. The author of six books pointed out that this ability to saying no is a talent which is acquired at a young age and their children also began to develop it. As Justine Musk said in her TED talk, her children were already exercising their power by refusing to do certain things, thus reaffirming their individuality and the talent of wanting to be masters of their own schedule. However, Justine herself recognized that she herself had lost that ability to say no to others between the ages of eight and thirteen. The writer highlighted that this ability to know how to say no to other people not only denotes power to confront negative reactions of whoever requests to occupy your time, also reveals precision in the management of one’s own time and intention. Warren Buffett has his calendar full of noes Elon Musk is not the only one who values ​​his time above anything else and therefore preserves it from any interference. Warren Buffett is also very careful with the use of his time and has the ability to keep his calendar with large spaces available. This was revealed by his good friend Bill Gates during a intervention on the Charlie Ross show in which both millionaires talked about the topic. Bill Gates pointed out how careful Warren Buffett is with his time. “The fact that he’s so careful with time, he has days where there’s nothing on (his schedule)…sitting and thinking can be a priority much older. “It is not an indicator of your seriousness that you have occupied every minute of your schedule.” Greg McKeown, in his book ‘Essentialism‘, highlights a curious paradox about productivity, stating that true productivity is not about doing more, but about doing less. Saying no to other people prevents you from loading your to-do list with tasks unrelated to your goals, so they should be eliminated at all costs. At first, saying no may take an internal effort, but in the long run, that turns into more time to dedicate to what really interests you.

An executive order paves the way for Elon Musk to fire them from DOGE

by

As soon as Trump was sworn in under the watchful eye of his new Praetorian Guard made up of the greatest fortunes in the worldgot to work signing the first decrees. One of the priority decrees was the official creation of DOGEhe Efficiency Department Government that will be directed by Elon Musk. The second, change the status of federal workers so that Musk can fire them at his discretion. Fire career officials. One of the most controversial points of the executive order that Donald Trump signed after his appointment is the change in status for career officials, in charge of enforcing regulations regardless of who occupies the Oval Office. To guarantee this independence, these officials had additional protection contemplated in Annex F (Schedule F). One of Trump’s executive orders mandates change this protected statusso they can now be fired if they do not comply with the orders of their superiors. This was one of the requirements of Project 2025 which has been developed by the most radical wing of the Republican Party, and which Trump has denied throughout the campaign, until just after his appointment. Only loyal officials. In another section of this executive order it is established that “Because SES officials exercise significant government authority, they must act at the will of the president”, placing special emphasis on that presidential figure, for which it has modified different sections of Annex F “Failure to do so will be grounds for dismissal,” the order states. Scott Michelman, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of the District of Columbia, assured from a statement issued by the organization that “The executive order on the federal workforce is a power grab by Trump, expanding his authority to fire employees he perceives as insufficiently loyal.” Michelman claims that, “during the last Trump administration, he encountered federal workers who were following the law, rather than indiscriminately following his orders. Federal workers should not be fired because they are more loyal to the US Constitution than to the president. That is a threat to both our constitutional values ​​and the rule of law.” “The real goal of the order is to target workers based on their real or perceived disloyalty toward the president and his political goals,” Scott Michelman concludes. The excuse of efficiency. Another of the controversial points that complement this executive order is that all officials and the 2.3 million federal civilian employees must be evaluated for the efficiency of their work and, if it is not satisfactory, they could be fired. However, that same order prohibits “certain personnel actions” and “actions based on the employee’s partisan affiliation, other protected characteristics or due to the employee’s status as a whistleblower.” Everett Kelley, national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, declared to the cnn: “President Trump’s order is a blatant attempt to corrupt the federal government by removing employees’ due process rights so they can be fired for political reasons. It will eliminate hundreds of thousands of federal nonpartisan professional civil service jobs and make them responsible before the will of a man”. Closing of hiring and teleworking. Given the massive filtering that the entire US federal administration is going to face, the executive order signed by Trump hours after his appointment, indefinitely canceled any contracting process of the administration. Furthermore, the order signed by Trump urges all federal employees without exception to go to their offices, all being revoked teleworking agreements. The only exception would be that, as how it happened In some Amazon offices, the facilities did not have enough capacity to accommodate them all. In that case, it is anticipated that “provided department and agency heads make such exemptions as they deem necessary,” so they could send some officials back home. According to data provided by nearby sources to the new government, its calculations show that only 6% of public employees work from the offices of their agencies. However, a report prepared by the US Congress reveals that the figure is much higher, exceeding 54%, and only 10% of civil servants do it completely remotely.
