Elon Musk and Uber CEO Travis Kalanick Will Advise Trump On Business Issues (theverge.com)

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Uber CEO Travis Kalanick have joined President-elect Trump's Strategic and Policy Forum, which will regularly meet with the soon-president to advise on business issues, the Trump transition team said in a statement. From a report on The Verge: The now 19-member council, established earlier this month, also includes Disney CEO Bob Iger and IBM CEO Ginni Rometty. Members will "share their specific experience and knowledge as the President implements his economic agenda," according to the transition statement. PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi also joins today. The announcement suggests a new link between the president-elect and Silicon Valley, which has been generally wary of the Trump presidency, with the notable exception of Facebook board member and Valley billionaire Peter Thiel, who supported Trump despite controversy and has been working as an adviser for the transition team.

Elon Musk will advise how to waste billions

[Anonymous Coward]

Thanks but no thanks. Elon "Bottomless Pit" Musk only knows how to grab corporate welfare and blackmail states into giving him tax cuts, otherwise he's also very skilled in mismanaging money on a massive scale, exploding rockets, and building self-crashing cars. To think this kind of a con man could have the audacity to advise the future President of the United States is nothing short of laughable.

Once Trump cuts off his endless supply of government money, he'll go the way of the dodo in a matter of months.

Insert H1B Whining.

Ever think that maybe you don't have relevant skills anymore? No one complained when we filled the fields with migrant workers.

Plenty of jobs around these parts if you have the skillsets.

Nah, it's easier to whine "They Took Our Jeorbs"

Escaped Mental Patient From Intel Needs Help

[mallyn]

Folks:

I am an escaped mental patient from Intel corporation in Hillsboro, Oregon (Retired for those of you with an IQ of less than -1) and I need some help.

Do any of you, particularily if you are in the great asylum of Intel, know where Intel's MCM leadership (BK and his direct reports) stand on Trump? I seem to have heard silence from my vantage point up here in the Shang-gre-la of Bellingham, Washington on what is happening between Intel and Trump.
