“Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.“
They will continually revise what he is called and who he works for, to ensure that he and his work can keep evading all transparency and oversight. The very fact that an unelected immigrant billionaire is calling all the shots in the rapid destruction of government, and no one can pin down where he works or who he works for, says everything you need to know about this illegal and unconstitutional coup.
MUSK is the Capitalist version of Putin ! His power comes from is his toxic wealth he directs his loyal Muskrats with his dog whistles .
Putin *is* a Capitalist. He’s about as Capitalist as it gets. Super-powerful oligarchy of a handful of men who control the entirety of Russia’s largest industries. That’s why Trump and Musk love him.
What and why is all the above afraid of Musk? Is it just being hip and trendy because big media and social media are afraid he might find some fraud and waste?
Afraid or just have a low regard for?
It’s one thing to look for fraud and waste. It’s another to just walk into a room and fire everyone you can based upon deciding you’re now the smartest person in the room, then working backwards to re-engineer what is needed based on what some kid programmer can suss out.
Put another way, I’d prefer measure twice, cut once instead of cut thrice, never measure. It would cost nothing to walk in, spend 60 days figuring things out, then working with a Congress that Trump controls with an iron fist to cut staffing. Rule of law and all, you know.
Firing the people who manage our nuclear arsenal, then afterwards having to revoke the firings, should have been an offense that led to his termination.
I don’t think anyone would object to an actual audit to find real fraud and waste but it’s abundantly clear that’s not what is happening. There are no forensic accountants (there are actually no kind of accountants at all), no criteria for what is “waste or abuse,” no oversight, no verification mechanism, and no vetting. So far, the criterium for what qualifies as “waste” is “I don’t like it.” The fact that Congress approved it be damned, he’s just gonna unilaterally decide what’s best.
I’m really tired of the bad faith arguments that this is an innocuous investigation. It objectively is not.
Where this all leads is to the privitazation of federal jobs, with companies in thrall to Trusk, Mumps, the MAGAts and the Muskrats (I liked that one, hadn’t seen it before ) sending tribute to Trusk. It will be more expensive, and less efficient. And service will plummet. Maybe after a few million MAGAts see their Medicare and Medicaid chopped, school funding funneled through the states that wouldn’t fund the poorer districts to begin with, and the rest of the MAGAt/Muskrat program, they’ll wake up in 2026 and get rid of the MAGAt toadies in Congress and elect people who will work for them, not for Trusk.
Hopefully that all happens before our sky is lit up with the glow of nuclear explosions resulting from nuclear warheads being reassembled by Mumps young Python programmers instead of by the people who knew the job but were fired…
All this is happening because our elected “representatives” are spineless and are afraid to question their Dear Leader for fear they may lose their phoney baloney jobs. Can I have a Harumph?
Government contracts with Musk companies seems like obvious waste and fraud to me…let Musk fund that stuff himself out of his own fortune (“endowment”).
