So then he can syphon funds to his own bank account. In the interests of efficiency, of course.

Government agencies the problem 😒 #DOGE can you open up the books at Lockheed, Bayer, Cargill, Amazon, Exxon?

The agencies that Musk wants to shut down are the ones that were investigating or would investigate him and his businesses.

USAID was looking into the use of Starlink in Ukraine. The CFPB would have questioned Musk's plan to, together with Visa, turn X into a payment platform.

Follow the money.

And, remember, DOGE is not an actual government department sanctioned by Congress. It's just a made up thing, an attempt to give Musk unaccountable power on no bigger basis than a conversation.

Don’t tell me - NASA, the FAA, the FTC - basically anything that could hold Musk to account?

jaylionel.bsky.social•88 days ago

Especially any that are investigating him, or could possibly investigate him in the future.

Not those however, responsible for buy half a billion dollars worth of shitty Teslas.

And we all thought they just wanted to make things work better: same services, less money

Reminds me of 2020 when Biden came into office and dismantled the DoD and ICE, annexed the southern states to Mexico and named himself president of the NRA. We had it coming, y’all.

If all you care about is money in your bank account then it makes perfect sense.

MAGA - Making Another Gilded Age

Or

MAGA - Making America Gilead Actually

Or

MAGA - I have no money, no job and no healthcare but, hey, Elon’s the man and we owned the libs

There needs to be a huge lawsuit against Musk. Has a nonpartisan developer oversight committee been established to review the Microsoft Azure system? How many tools and services are enabled within the system? Are there decentralized networks, if so who have they given permissions to?

chocolatebacon.bsky.social•88 days ago

None of that has been voted on and I would think with such a shift in technology taking place that we (tax paying Americans) should understand the nuances of anything that removes empathy from the decision making process and lays the groundwork for cryptocurrency.

Who will be in charge of errors made? How long will it take to address and remedy these errors? What commands are being used to train their system? If they’re coding from scratch, which variables are teaching it? Are those free from bias? It’s hard to believe that such a biased

individual would be free from manipulating the system to better serve his (personal) directives. This is very concerning. We are not spending enough time examining the programming and the subsequent ramifications of rapid implementation.

Let’s keep this in repeat - he is a dick.

jumpinjax100.bsky.social•88 days ago

He’s also Unqualified, Incompetent and stupid. I think the fact that he’s a con man has really fooled a lot of ppl into thinking he’s smart or has ANY good ideas. But if you listen he really sounds stupid. Rich ppl can be very dumb in fact.

nicop30.bsky.social•88 days ago

Agree 💯

spaceartal.bsky.social•88 days ago

This Dipshit knows nothing of the purpose or accomplishments of government agencies. Why is he still here? What authority does he have to be interfering with the work of Federal employees.

jumpinjax100.bsky.social•88 days ago

Musk is literally INCOMPETENT and UNQUALIFIED. He should be fired first. He is also actually stupid.

jumpinjax100.bsky.social•88 days ago

He only cares about de-regulation so he can do more risky and dangerous shit with his companies and not be investigated or fined. He’s already a criminal.

DOGE is not a government department.
