How strange is that. They are the fraudsters. The biggest fraudsters ever to occupy the White House.

himself132.bsky.social•9 days ago

So far the firings seem to be whole teams of workers, random employees, or people not sufficiently loyal (e.g. refusing to say the 2020 election was rigged).

But Musk will pretend he's found massive amounts of fraud, so diligent employees will lose their jobs and have their honesty impugned.

Five Inspector Generals with open investigations into Musk businesses; Tesla, SpaceX Twitter, neurolink, and starlink were all fired. Investigations halted. Coincidence

t-bones.bsky.social•10 days ago

That’s because it’s their own fraud

thewilliamgeorge.bsky.social•10 days ago

Every accusation is a confession. Always.

johnnyred1941.bsky.social•10 days ago

🤔 hmmm maybe just maybe and I'm just speculating here but maybe they're use it as a excuse to get something else, but I'm prepared to be wrong (sarcasm is strong in this comment)

frenshamrobin.bsky.social•10 days ago

Its a bit like the benefits of Brexit...

taransay.bsky.social•9 days ago

Musk, trying to look intelligent.

szarotka.bsky.social•9 days ago

They forgot to bring forensic accoountants with when they brake in and stole all our data OOPS

waynestuart.bsky.social•9 days ago

They’ve redefined ‘fraud’ as the legitimate funding of federal departments that their kind don’t personally benefit from or see any value in.

Don't forget the $100m of condoms fot Hamas.. oh sorry I made that up..

skillsgeek.bsky.social•9 days ago

Are they trying to find or destroy evidence of fraud 🤔

katyg999.bsky.social•9 days ago

I expect their efforts will not be wasted as they have mined so much data that they can use for their own nefarious purposes

They have both been investigated for fraud before so they should know what to look for.

jfritte.bsky.social•10 days ago

Maybe they should try a mirror.

riojabob.bsky.social•10 days ago

Have they checked the result of the US election?

dezjy.bsky.social•8 days ago

It doesn’t matter, they’ll just keep repeating the lies over and over until people get bored of pointing out the lies. It’s worked for Trump so far…

plod1.bsky.social•9 days ago

Plenty of fraud will be committed during trumps term

rosso63.bsky.social•10 days ago

They should try looking in the mirror! 👀

grumpyoldcow.bsky.social•9 days ago

Peter please never stop what you're doing! We need people to wake up & you have a strong voice with reach

squirtledude.bsky.social•10 days ago

Much like their pursuit of voter fraud. The rare instances were committed by Republicans. Yep like, oh let’s say, Mark Meadows.

serf-to-mogs.bsky.social•10 days ago

If they were genuinely looking for fraud they would be using forensic accountants not programmers. They are using this claim as an excuse to get rid of any agency that could uncover their own corruption.

gobdoctor.bsky.social•9 days ago

Trump has based his whole life on being fraudulent. I find it incredible that the average American cannot see it.

philt602.bsky.social•10 days ago

I'm shocked, truly shocked! This suggests that either Musk is corrupt or incompetent, or maybe both?! Either way, he should not be anywhere near the levers of power!!!

hartleyispissed.bsky.social•10 days ago

Probably because prior to his term there were checks and balances. God help the next administration sifting through the corruption. Jail time for an ex president and his yes men. If he’s not already dead by then.

rsbell07.bsky.social•9 days ago

America gangsters - its not about saving money, it's about making money...

iac90.bsky.social•10 days ago

Their press spokesperson listed a whole lot of contracts when asked if the evidence for fraud would be shared, but these contracts seemed to be properly procured. When challenged further she suggested they were viewed as not being value for money, but that is very different to Fraudulent 🤔

ristox.bsky.social•10 days ago

If laws are meaningles this is what happens. They get new orders from judges and just laugh at them.

nancygeorges.bsky.social•9 days ago

But exposure wasn’t the aim. Access to data (& $$$$??) was.
Absolutely corrupt!!

stueyd.bsky.social•10 days ago

They should look in the mirror

countottovanshanoo.bsky.social•10 days ago

I'm sure they'll invent some soon. Putin Dictatorship Manual 101.

mcfist.bsky.social•9 days ago

The fraud is these idiots pretending they are human.

vglntgrandma.bsky.social•10 days ago

How do they think America has been a role model of democracy in the past? They are doing the opposite of what MAGA preaches. They’re ruining this great country.

donmahon.bsky.social•10 days ago

Funny they can't find the fraud just under their fingers..they must be really stupid.

stephenbskysocial.bsky.social•10 days ago

It’s their distraction from what’s really happening

ingridvaughan.bsky.social•10 days ago

Exactly. Both men are inclined to crow about victories so it’s strange that they won’t provide any detail.

It’s also strange that they haven’t manufactured any detail, which is their usual MO.

zycr9.bsky.social•10 days ago

It's ironic that two fraudulent idiots are trying to locate evidence of fraud. 🤔

Hmmm!

jameswoodfield.bsky.social•9 days ago

Are there no mirrors?

It’s like when the Tories introduced the voting id requirements citing previous widespread fraud but there were just 6 cases in the 2019 election, of which just 2 rec’d cautions. It was only much later in May 2023 that Rees Mogg admitted it was to suppress the votes of people unlikely to vote Tory.

niklg.bsky.social•10 days ago

The Right always catastrophise, and use single examples as 'proof' ( usually by saying 'some', for 1, or 'many' for 2 ).
The right wing media are the same. One complaint on Twitter equals an outraged country.
But there's always nuance and 'many sides' to THEIR wrong doings..

godot47.bsky.social•9 days ago

Placing Musk in charge of fraud is like placing OJ Simpson in charge of marriage guidance counseling

davidhardie.bsky.social•10 days ago

Classic Goebbels

takcon.bsky.social•9 days ago

Because they are not forensic accountants. It 's not about fraud,this is the cover to get rid of federal agencies etc to fund massive billionaire tax cuts

oxfordjovan1.bsky.social•10 days ago

It’ll be found with the “Healthcare Plan”, the “massive fraud in the 2020 election”, and “Bigfoot”.

flamingokid.bsky.social•10 days ago

They will create, I mean provide evidence in 2 WEEKS!

niklg.bsky.social•10 days ago

Didn't the Orange Twat say yesterday that he'd be going through all the fraud one at a time to show people that he's right ?
TBH I haven't read the article as it's behind a paywall...but if there isn't any evidence, surely he knew this yesterday before making such a claim ?

Please try and keep up. Facts don't matter. Their foot soldiers will applaud anything. Because... 'Murica'.

heptaglemious.bsky.social•9 days ago

I heard about a $400m no-bid contract to a failing car maker that can't shift its inventory, with no tender or bid process. That feels kind of fraudy to me. Who do I report it to?

misformyley.bsky.social•9 days ago

You can find information about a general nationwide strike here @generalstrikeus.bsky.social the general idea is to get 3.5% of citizens to commit, then pick a date. It’s important to have enough people commit so that it can make an impact and not just be performative. Check out their website.
