If you want to have an earnest discussion about auditing the government, let’s start with our biggest line item, the military..

Pentagon Can't Account For 63% Of Nearly $4 Trillion In Assets​

There. I’ll save us all some money. You can pay me my day rate of $8M and I’ll be on my way. Look, I saved ya a lot of money right there too. And you didn’t even need to hire a Nazi to do it.

As has been repeated many times, he is going to audit the military. That is if you guys don't lynch him before he gets a chance.

 

[DSMc]

The garden of heros?, the name changes? Riviera in Gaza? Mission to mars? Just to start.

I also don't think the national parks are waste, or special education in public schools.

He is not and can not make those decisions. So why keep saying he is?

Kevin, there are many many things I don't agree with that Elon does or promotes. Those have little to do with what is being said about his motives or honesty.

 

[treebing]

I really don't understand your point of view. You either trust him or you don't I guess.

They are going to privatize national security. That will be the most efficient.

How the hell can change happen if fear stops everyone in their tracks every time a ripple forms in the status quo.

Goes both ways, everyone wants change and some will always disagree/fear. The administration you are defending is actively increasing environmental degradation, not debatable not one bit. So many more things that are mathematical and scientific truths but fucking our country/land is an easy one.

Anyone who thinks a billionaire is not in it for the money does not understand the mindset of a billionaire. Nobody is a billionaire who isn't in it for the money.

 

[Serf Life]

Do you think Elon will defund himself?

I’m waiting for when it’s “space creature formerly known as Elon.”

 

[Tuebor]

Why can't Vance do this job? Why does it have to be Musk? A favor for buying votes?

Musk is gutting nothing. He and his team ( and what the hell is wrong with number crunchers being young, their geniuses) have zero power to make any of those decisions. They gather information and present it to people that do have that power. To allude to him possessing those abilities is hyperbole and ignorant.

I could give a shit how much the government is paying his companies as long as what I being spent is properly approved and regulated as it should be. I see lots of character assassination in your posts still based on the what ifs and not any interest in things that are being presented. Do you or anybody here not want the waste spending to change? Has our government been ticking along smoothly and efficiently before Trump was elected?

Must be fun living in a state of delusion Dave…

DOGE is shuttering a consumer watchdog, which may clear the way for Musk's X payments platform plans, think-tank boss says

The latest U.S. agency in DOGE's cost-cutting sights is one that may have directly intersected with Elon Musk's business interests.

And speaking of “what ifs“ could you imagine trusting a teenage boy with your SS#? Especially one who was fired from his last job for leaking company secrets. One would have to be fucking crazy to do such a thing.

Bargaining is one of the stages of grief. Maybe that's what were seeing.

"It can't be THAT bad...."

Astute comment Boom. Definitely been noticing myself flirting with it, but then I get angry and all is back to normal.

Well like most septic tanks, there might be a diamond wedding ring in the bottom

Those have little to do with what is being said about his motives or honesty.

It is common knowledge that Elon engaged in a massive disinformation campaign (lies) in his efforts to help Trump get elected.

Musk and X are epicenter of US election misinformation, experts say

False or misleading claims by billionaire Elon Musk about the U.S. election have amassed 2 billion views on social media platform X this year, according to a report by non-profit group Center for Countering Digital Hate.

Alarm grows over Trump and Musk’s blizzard of baseless voter-fraud claims

Falsehoods swirling on X and other platforms undermine trust and create potential for violence, critics warn

Fact check: Elon Musk spreads US election lies

Billionaire X owner Elon Musk is amplifying false claims about the US election and shaping public opinion. DW fact-checks three of his narratives.

Its pretty clear that you didn’t bother to read the article concerning the Doge lies Elon has been spreading. It’s just a small sampling of his many lies so it shouldn’t take too long to inform yourself.

False claims about government spending have gone viral on social media, frequently boosted by DOGE leader Elon Musk.

It is crystal clear that Mr. Musk is as dishonest and untrustworthy as the day is long,

 

[Treetopflyer]

Your about to see some of the most reckless spending of our tax dollars of all time. You might not see it though. They are definitly turning the cameras OFF.

Is that any different than how it’s always been

 

[treebing]

Is that any different than how it’s always been

We have a system of accountability that is being removed. Very different.

 

[DSMc]

Basically, you guys are all still crediting Elon with making decisions on policy, he is not. He is presenting numerical data found within the audit. That is his only job!

What he does outside of that job is his business and his right.

Ok not getting in the weeds.
Is he not cognizant of what the objective is?
Devil says find me 10,000 souls for my minions to gather. Does the seeker have no guilt?

I’m genuinely unsure what system you mean?

I'm sure he is very aware of what his job is. That knowledge does not enable him to randomly fabric numbers. If there was nothing to find, he'd have nothing to show. Is it really so hard to believe that mind blowing miss use of money has been rampant within government agencies?

I certainly see waist, along with delusions of grandeur. The neighbor who sued us for trespassing on the only road to our house is the second highest paid school superintendent in the state. Giving herself raises while cutting the budget and programs. 1,200 students in the district. I’d be damned if I advocated for the district to be closed

Start with the biggest hole in the budget. Common sense.

Seriously though, what is the plan for the extra dough?

We absolutey need to balance the budget. Hasn’t been done in my lifetime. They’ll say they’re doing it to reduce our debt but then they’ll cut wealthy taxes even more and won’t move the needle on the debt.
