  1. Musk is such a fucking tool. Like why the fuck would he know about, much less care about some rando FDNY pick? How many businesses and how much money does he have, yet this level of minutia makes it onto his radar?

    It’s because he’s got a legion of bots collating every bit of information, which he, in turn, uses to program yet more bots to propagandize for his far right views. Views meant to manipulate public opinion and divide the poor further. Views meant to distract while he consolidates yet more wealth and power.

    He’s a creature at this point. A gawd damn super villain. A menace to the entire world.

  2. “she’s set to become New York City’s first openly gay fire commissioner and the second woman to lead the fire department,”

    There it is

    “Experience does matter, which is why I appointed the person who spent more than 30 years at EMS. You know, the workforce that addresses at least 70% of all calls coming into FDNY?” Mamdani wrote in a poston the social platform X.

    Forget this

  3. Why the hell does musk have a opinion on the New York Fire Department ANYTHING?

    He’d might as well complain about Slovenia’s Minister of Health. It’s got nought to do with him.

  4. As if Elmo has a fucking clue about how to pick a FDNY chief.

    Hey Elmo! Shut your Nazi fucking mouth.

    Someone from the Trump administration criticizing experience, oh the complete irony. Hegseth, RFK, Gabard…..Besides she has 30 years experience with the EMT so this doesn’t quite fly.

  6. Musk is an illegal immigrant who needs to sit down, shut up and learn to know his place. America is sick of his shit.

  7. Elon Musk is the most pathetic loser in the entire world. Imagine being as rich as he is and being such an epic failure of a human being. He is so fucking pathetic it’s laughable.

    Because being a lesbian is disqualifying for anything in Elon’s mind. And we all know that.

  10. She was the EMS Chief for all of FDNY and retired as a 4-star dept. chief which is the highest honor in uniformed municipal leadership. Literally one of the only people on the planet qualified for the job. Elon’s a fuckin slug lmao

  11. What the fuck qualifies Musk to say anything about a pick to lead a fire department? His drug-addled, wealth addicted mind needs involuntary rehab. Society should not be subjected to the consequences of his extreme mental illness.

    This entire Mamdani thing is just so ludicrously insane to begin with. Why anyone who doesn’t live or own property in New York City should care who the mayor is, let alone his Fire Chief, just makes no sense.

    And the thing is, I’ve had multiple people bring it up to me in conversation and ask me what I thought, which first of all, like why would my opinion actually matter here?

    I’ve started responding with questions about Muriel Bowser or Karen Bass or Brandon Johnson or John Whitmire just to watch the gears try to turn in their brain trying to figure out who I’m talking about.

    “Oh sorry, I thought we were talking about mayors of major cities that we don’t live in here.”

    I don’t know why I don’t have more friends.

  13. Even before the last paragraph, I knew Lillian Bonsignore must be a minority, an immigrant, or a member of the LGBTQ community.

    Because Republicans have no problems with incompetent, unqualified, inexperienced white men. But they are quick to nitpick the resumes of everyone else.

    Let’s play a little game. I know nothing about this or about this person.

    Before I look the information up, I’m going to guess why Musk is running his fat and disgusting apartheid mouth about the person.

    Prediction:

    The firefighter in question is either

    a) black

    b) a woman

    c) gay

    d) any combination of a-c.

    Edit: Hahaha, what the fuck, why is this idiot so predictable?

    First of all Musk knows less than dick about EMS let alone running a fire department, second of all, BITCH YOU DON’T EVEN LIVE HERE. STFU.

  16. Elon you are a Texan and before that a Californian.

    You’re the last person whose opinion on the NYC fire chief has any value

  17. elon had no proven experience working in government. that’s why the department of government efficiency (doge) shut down in less than a year 🤡

    Cue the pearl clutching from folks who wouldn’t wear a simple mask.

    They don’t care. They will say anything to get their way. Ignore them.

    Let’s save everyone a click

    How stupid does one have to be to think that Mamdami selected this woman solely because she’s a lesbian and not because of her 31 years of experience as an EMT.

    While at the same time thinking that he’s going to impose Sharia law on New York City lol
