Musk's U.S. government 'takeover' sounds alarm bells

Everyone including Elmo should do the proper background checks and be subject to the same oversight.

Elon Musk has begun swinging his wrecking ball at the U.S. government, with concerns growing over the unprecedented power that President Donald Trump has handed to the world's richest man.

His young team of so-called "Doge Kids," drawn from his own companies, dramatically seized control of the U.S .Treasury Department's payments system and took key government positions.

An unelected, unvetted bunch of rich little idiots who know absolutely nothing about government and its workings just taking over the treasury department should send absolutely everyone into panic, MAGA fans included.

It hasn't quite sunk in yet has it: people trust Musk.

It should be ringing alarm bells: audits are never fun and we all know he will find all manner of abuse and this one's not going to be pretty.

people trust Musk.

Why even pretend to be anywhere close to impartial when you're already convinced there is abuse (in a departement you know absolutely nothing about)? You MAGA people will do anything to protect and defend the elites, really.

@JJE,

Comedy gold comrade.

Fox News new chyron: "Giving your social security number, name, address, and medical and financial history to Elon Musk is an act of patriotism".

An unelected official with access to vast amounts of government data and shutting out federal workers from computers and their offices. The Trump-Musk bromance won't last—conflict of egos.

If we take that to be true, it says a great deal about our collective powers of judgement.

Then again, we elected Trump twice, so our collective powers of judgement have been fried for quite a while.

Oh, I disagree with that.

should be disagreeing with shutting out employees and giving musk’s teenage helpers access, thus control, of that data.

This is the equivalent of "paying someone under the table" to avoid taxes and cheat the system. We know they already control the stocks and crypto and this way Musk can continue doing illegal stuff while running a country he isn't qualified for

The left liked Musk - he was basically one of them if a pretty moderate one - until he bought Twitter and cleaned out the extremist censors. Now they hate him with immeasurable passion. Yet woof he were doing this on behalf of the Democrats, it would be perfectly fine for them.

It's never about the principle, only the side.

Is Trump using the royal 'we' now?

The left liked Musk 

Nope.

"For a man who likes to rail against unelected bureaucrats, the unelected Space X and Tesla tycoon has been subject to little accountability as he pushes Trump's drive to shrink the U.S. government."

So according to the above logic every auditor should elected bureaucrats pathetic!

Yeah its also funny how the right went from hating Musk to absolutely loving him the second he bought Trump and started doing Heil Hitler salutes.

Very interesting set of principles at work there.

Naw, I disagree with the Dems out of control frivolous spending that needs to stop.

Wrong, not sure where you got that from, but the right didn't hate Musk, the guy was never really that political, historically speaking, he was semi-neutral

the second he bought Trump and started doing Heil Hitler salutes. 

There were no Hitler salutes. The guy has autism, and when you have that, you often do sporadic and awkward body movements, and he has in the past, so why the left says this continuously, KNOWING that it is a lie, is beyond me.

Indeed....

Lol, what a load of deliberate self-deluding rubbish. He sounds like a DEI hire. You know as much about autism as you do about (insert topic here).

Maybe Musk is turning into Dr. Strangelove?

Well, then the left should be careful with their words.

I have a relative with it, so yes, I do know all too well, not something to laugh at or make fun about.

As I said, the left will stay a marginalized party and not get elected to anything for a very long time; I proved my point once again: they will never learn, and losing was the best thing that could happen to the party.

Sounding alarm bells to the grifters.

He sounds like a DEI hire.

Sounds to me like he's doing exactly the job he was appointed to do.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
