Firing FDA scientists doesn't cut waste, fraud & abuse in government. It makes it easier for bad actors to get away with waste, fraud & abuse in industry. Undermining expert regulators punishes innovators & rewards snake oil salesmen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8Co...

The fact that Dems didn't have a plan to fight Project 2025, or have a plan to forward the democratic/ progressive agenda highlights that they were complicit, even if only by dereliction of duty. Yes, I am still mad.

"One FAA employee who was fired over the weekend suggested he was targeted for his views on Tesla and X..'The official DOGE Facebook page started harassing me on my personal Facebook account..Less than a week later I was fired, despite my position allegedly being exempted due to national security.'"

One of the greatest tricks that Donald Trump and Elon Musk ever pulled is to convince millions of people that DOGE is about government efficiency. It's about narcissistic, resentful destruction: The Death of Government Expertise. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Elon says empathy is not important, yet he gets mad when he is not the recipient of empathy...he lashes out and pouts. He is diseased and needs to have his stranglehold on power removed. He will prove a danger to us and his poor children.

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is on its face a violation the equal protection of the laws.

@nytimes.com are you going to correct this headline to show Musk lied and/or is too incompetent to know about Cobol? Will Musk hold a press conference? Lol

As an FYI, when Musk reported fraud via 150-yr old Social Security beneficiaries this is because COBOL uses a default date of 1875 when there is no dob. This from @pkrugman.bsky.social newsletter today:

We’ve put the very stupidest people in charge of the largest and most complex government in the history of the planet. #COBOL #CodingIsHard #SpaceKaren #NotMyPresident

So, Elon Musk didn't know that part of the Social Security computer system is old and written in COBOL and that if there's a date that cannot be verified, they enter in 1875, indicating and error, and so that's how he claims there are 150-year-old people getting Social Security? Nice. #Maddow

Commenters on @pkrugman.bsky.social Substack decode the "150 year old" Social Security fraudsters found by DOGE - it's just antiquated COBOL date formatting. The incompetence of these teenagers turned loose on the government is stunning. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/elon-musk-...

MAGA is complaining about some people getting SS that are 150 years old. Thats a glitch from an old programming language. The year 1875 is used as a temporary placeholder when the birth year is unknown (cobol is a clunky language). Its a case of Musk jumping to conclusions.

You know those Social Security accounts for 150-year-olds that Musk "uncovered"? Well, SS systems run on COBOL, a programming language from 1959. That Elmo's kids don't know Turns out "1875" is a common placeholder in COBOL for an unknown date. OOPS! paulkrugman.substack.com/p/elon-musk-...

#PresidentMusk and #DOGE pups apparently don't know COBOL (150 y.o.s collecting social security, according to Musk) or how to create a website. Let's give them write access to the U.S. Treasury data. What could possibly go wrong? www.yahoo.com/news/elon-mu...

Latest disinformation from Musk: US social security is paying 150 year olds. This will spread virally to confirm his genius in finding fraud in the US govt. Truth: He and his undertrained DOGE team don't understand the COBOL programming language. A simple check with his own AI spells it out.

Looks like getting all those 1337 high school Python hackers has unintended consequences. Fucking morons. Musk is not a programmer or an engineer.
