DOGE

I never understood why there was so much pushback on government officials working with the private sector. It worked pretty well with George Washington and Ben Franklin. Historically, governments operate in the most inefficient manner.

Trump is bringing in the best from the private sector to fix our broken system. Who does not want this ? Why?

And we all know Elon tells the truth. The whole truth and nothing but the truth. 🙄
Would love to hear some truth from the left. Everyone still believing that Biden is cogent. Or the laptop is Russian disinformation. Let me guess. I guess some still believe Biden didn’t sell out the USA for his family to get rich. No one tells the truth all the time. But his history so far is much better than what just left.

You sir just described every politician ever. That’s the problem. And I don’t see it getting fixed with this guy….or the next or the next. It’s the system that’s in place and so it will be.

I get it if you don’t trust politicians. I don’t either. I don’t trust Trump. But he is no politician. If anyone has a chance being an outsider and flipping the switch it is him. These guys are at least acting like they want to hold the government responsible. If this is how you feel, why are you upset at someone posting on Twitter about doing exactly what you are complaining about. Makes no sense. If you hate Trump I get it. He gets on my nerves as well, but what you are saying is totally contradictory

Because Elon isn’t an elected official and yet he’s somehow making decisions about how the government is run. That’s extremely dangerous and if you don’t see that then that’s just as scary.

He is part of a group being used by the president to try to make the government more efficient. There has been zero oversight. And yet you don’t trust politicians, but have an issue with what you admit as a total outsider doing this. That is a walking contradiction. It is scary. Freaking scary it has gotten to this point and needs to be done. Would you feel better with an elected official doing this? Really? You literally just don’t me you don’t trust politicians

Go sign up and do it yourself. I would trust you more than any elected official. That is for damn sure. I think you have been a good poster for a long time. This just makes no sense.

Have you ever heard of the bureaucracy? We've literally had unelected bureaucrats regulating us for decades. During Trump's term these unelected bureaucrats had an underground resistance movement that was trying to remove him from office. Those bureaucrats literally took a document that they knew was false and sourced by Russians to a secret court, swore to it's accuracy and used it to open a surveillance op against a POTUS campaign and then a sitting U.S. POTUS. These actions were a threat to democracy. A person from the outside trying to stop wasteful spending and requesting financial docs from agencies that spend hundreds of billions per yr...not so much.

That doesn't mean Musk's activities shouldn't be monitored and it doesn't mean he is all powerful but I think we all agree that this government and the pols need a spotlight shined up their sphincters. Imo, Musk is much less dangerous than the activity he's trying to uncover as long as his actions are front page, center.

I hear about the military can’t pass an audit, and SS theft of $1.6 billion to dead people, and the theft of $100 million of ICE weapons and ammo and only the thoughts of honor and duty and prison keep me from thinking I was a fool to work for a living.

The swamp is full of beaurocrats doing the exact same thing and I don’t see you fussing about that.

Does anyone else ask themselves this obvious question every time this "he's not an elected official" argument or "he's a billionaire" comes up?

Why in the hell would I trust a politician who is beholden to certain voter blocs and whose personally $ interests likely don't align with a majority of Americans over a billionarie who knows how to run businesses and already has Monopoly money (doesn't need shit from certain constituencies or crony donors)....presumably his interests align with a successful outcome on the specific task he's been given....no different than a CEO working to maximize shareholder value?

Oh the bad rich person. But you never hear them speak about soros or buffett? Cause they are on their side. They would be waving pride flags and dancing if those two were doing it when they were in charge.

Because this is the United States of America? And you as an American citizen didn’t give Elon Damn Musk the authority to be your dogcatcher, let alone hack your private Social Security information?

Do we elect our Military Generals? They answer to the Prez, no? How is Elon different? Dude is literally the most successful businessman of all time. Specifically known for process and efficiency. I guess we need to start electing all the DMV workers too?

I didn’t give David Lybrick authority to hack my private social security information. But I do authorize Musk. I’m pissed at the outrageous spending he is revealing. You should be too.
