They always ask for employer name, at least for federal.

Obviously Elon’s project isn’t named this by coincidence and he probably thinks it’s hilarious.

So much for that presidential pardon…
Edit: What am I thinking, Trump would just end the case with no trial.
Fuck deporting him. He needs to be removed from control and or ownership of Starlink for sure and SpaceX probably. He can keep Tesla and X. They’ll be there when he gets out of prison. Then we can deport him.

I don’t think much can happen to Elon. Maybe if Trump loses regulators will be slightly less inclined to let him do whatever he wants but that’s about it. If he’s actually worried… good. But I think he’s wrong. This bullshit is a free roll for him.
Not sure what “destroying him” even means in the context of one of the most epic popularity flameouts in recent memory. Feels like he’s doing a plenty good enough job destroying himself.

Who are the good guys in that film would you say? Presumably the officious cost cutting pricks out to fire everyone?

I feel like the Two Bobs joke went over a lot of people’s heads, even though the movie goes out of its way to point out that, ironically, the Bobs themselves are inherently redundant and they don’t actually do anything of value. Obv Elon thinks they’re the good guys.

How are the Bob’s useless? Most of their insights are basically spot on - Simpkowski is useless, Milton should be fired. TPS reports are bs; Lumbergh is a poor boss who fails to motivate his employees. It is unclear whether they are right that Michael and Sameer can be outsourced and they are wrong about Peter being able to be motivated.
I’m not saying they are the good guys - they’re just another tool of management to oppress employees; and used to show that even when management gets good advice, they ignore it if it doesn’t support what management already wants to do.

Because the Bobs are basically doing Lumbergh’s job for him. His approach to cutting costs is to hire not one but two Bobs to make the managerial decisions he’s supposed to be making.
Right - but that makes Lumbergh useless not the Bobs. The point is that Lumbergh is basically Simpkowski - he’s doesn’t make the decisions or even implement them once they are made, he’s just a useless middle man. And then when he doesn’t like their advice, he just ignores it.
The Bobs are only useless in a world where Lumbergh is competent.
The first level heroes are obviously the main character and Jennifer Aniston who say FU to work. I guess Elon probably sees the Bobs as the heroes. It’d certainly be more clear that the Bobs were heroes if the company actually did something useful because they freed it up from all the red tape or something, but maybe you can just take it that way and shrug off that they couldn’t actually present the business as heroic without making the movie suck.
