Musk is not as smart as he thinks.
Some of the fraud he’s finding is false and a bunch was already discovered by, you know, the people and agencies paid to do that. He’s getting desperate to substantiate his hyperbolic narratives about fraud.

As someone who has hands-on experience in systems and accounting I find it hard to believe that anybody in a matter of days was able to find the things they claim.

The only thing they got was low hanging fruit that someone from project 2025 told them about

We actually had fantastic auditors across most of the federal workforce.
These dudes are bumbling bags of hubris.

He is the one perpetrating fraud.

The lesson of the Trump era is just say you found it. I've heard from a couple of guys I know who totally believe he's found fraud.

The fact that he thought he was genius enough to know the vast government intricacies of the most powerful country in the world and that he alone could make it more efficient doesn’t make him a genius. It makes him delusional.

Agreed!

👆WORD!

He’s from South Africa. I’ve spoke to a few people from South Africa and they think he’s doing great things in America. I don’t know what hyperbole he’s doing out there but they’re convinced he’s a great man we know he’s a pet muskrat to the orange turd!

It's one thing to lie about being awesome at video games.

It's another to steal money from old people.

He’s a complete and total fraud. Just as trustworthy as the felonious psychopathic rapist: not at all.

IT'S NOT ABOUT FRAUD! It's data-mining, and the only way the Muskrat and his techno broligarchy could steal America's most private monetary and personal taxpayer information. Does anyone REALLY believe they're looking for fraud or waste?

Hyperbole is a tactic used by people who know there is no substance behind their facade. A “Potemkin Village” of rhetoric. Trump uses it all the time. Why not Musk? He’s equally superficial.
reply
And equally self-delusional!

He wasn't concerned about finding fraud. He was looking for TOOLS to gaslight america, while he took over the infrastructure from within.... does anyone believe he doesn't have backdoor entries to every computer in our government now?
