oligarchy is in, democracy out. Just look at Trumps inauguration event and look at who are the people he's standing beside, it's the multi-billionaires. He's going to lead America into being isolationist and full head-on focus on the economy.
From left to alt-right and support for European extreme right-wing parties. Opposition to transsexuals even though his daughter is one claiming she was killed by Woke. She has disowned her father.
"The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is the United States' national audit office. It's an independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress. The GAO is responsible for auditing, evaluating, and investigating the federal government."
This is what DOGE has been tasked to do as the GAO has missed useless spending such as the $50 Million USD earmarked for condoms in Gaza.
Does that mean DOGE employees have been "given power over the full national government"?
Define "given power over the full national government"...What power specifically?

So it was tasked to eliminate imaginary things? because the millions for condoms i Gaza has been completely debunked.
Which of course does absolutely nothing to refute the argument that positions that wield power at a national level have been reserved to elected officials, so since Musk was not elected it would be reasonable for him to only be as powerful as the rest of the 3 million federal employees that share the same condition.

What power does Musk wield...other than the power to point out where government spending is either redundant or unnecessary?
By everybody, can you find any source that supports the claim with any evidence? no? that would be because it is faslse.

Unlimited access to accounts and information is much more than what the rest of the federal employees, not just point for others to act but directly act as well, without supervision nor any responsibility to respond for his actions. Again, you yourself put him in the same category of the rest of unelected employees, so he should not be able to do more than them.
You mean the comptroller general? Because that requires the approval of the Senate and also it is supposed to exemplify things like ethical conduct, integrity of character, professional standards, etc. Just to be considered for the position. Musk is by all available evidence the opposite of all this and was appointed without even the cooperation of the senate, much less their approval. (Understandable since it would be impossible for him to be an ethically justified choice since the position comes with full access to all the information pertinent to government contracts with competitors of his companies, by default an unethical situation).
Can you verify your "without supervision" claim.
Has he any obligation to justify anything he does with the senate? If not, then he can validly be considered unsupervised.
"Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials."
"Senior career employees at OPM have had their access revoked to some of the department’s data systems."
Elon Musk now has an office on the grounds of the White House. What do you think is his political game plan?
Well, if history is a clue, he'll fire everyone else in the White House and bring in lower-paid immigrants from India, China, and South Africa to replace them...
Then he'll mandate only Teslas can use the parking lot...
I don't know why right wingers love a man whose cars and space business have been massively funded by the US taxpayer. He's like an anti-free market businessman. Millions of small businesses in the US get no such help.
Trump may have said it but the condoms thing is baloney.

Perhaps they're not "right-wingers"
As Snopes reported on Jan. 29, 2025, there is no evidence that $50 million was spent to buy condoms for Gaza
An easy claim to debunk...when no money was spent due to the Trump administrationhalting funding.
there is no proof that such U.S.-funded condoms are being used by the militant group Hamas to make bombs. However, we came across reports of Palestinians in Gaza using condoms, balloons and other items to airdrop small incendiary devices into Israel in 2020, during the last Trump administration.
The above is from the "debunking" Snopes article which claims condoms have not been used to make bombs. What exactly are "incendiary devices"?
According to a Washington Post report from March 2020, over several months, balloons and condoms were launched from Gaza with small explosives attached to them
"with small explosives attached to them"...so bombs
So he doesn’t have unlimited, unsupervised access to and “power over” “the full national government”
That’s what I thought…
Again, congratulations on debunking an imaginary claim nobody but yourself have made, and accepting that the claims that were actually made here are so solid that you have no argument against them.

Unless you think Trump have access to a time machine to stop funding before having any authority the source still proves your claim is false.
The above is from the "debunking" Snopes article which claims condoms have not been used to make bombs.
The article claims no funds from the US were used to buy condoms that were used for bombs, your strawman is pretending the claim was that no condom bought with money from any source have ever been used to make bombs, that is of course not even remotely similar to the claim you made that was debunked.
Musk's ambition. To develop the first fully autonomous political party on the lawns of the white house. Of course all $ proceeds will be shared with....... those people on mars???
tesla profit dropped over 50%, even with 0% interest, free charging and low priced leases. more than half of profit was selling carbon credits. lol.
x has lost 80% of value, costing investors $25 billion and still losing money. lol
the ketamine addled illegal immigrant fits perfect.y into trump's style of business. his junior it kiddies screwed up one system. just practicing for more.
it’s time for congress to step up and curb this maniac. no one elected him to be a tyrant.
Clearly he's using his connections to kickstart an AI apocalypse. It's going to be death by zombies or death by AI with these berks in positions of power. Take your pick. Personally, I'm Team Zombie.
Pretty much sums it all, the rest are just typical liberal meltdowns, no need to speculate or guess some hidden agenda, but the left needs a few bogeymen, so whatever, but I think it’s funny.

His game plan is probably to grift as much as possible and leave the American taxpayer holding the bag.

He's only ever had one game plan, which is to make as much money as humanly possible.

Something like a right-wing Gru from Despicable Me, with the end goal being world dominance.

To cut waste in government spending.

Did his name appear on any election ballot papers?

How many of the 3 million federal employees names appeared on the ballot?

Self enrichment, not necessarily financial.

Exactly as many as the ones that were given power over the full national government. None.

The guy whose main business - SpaceX - is dependent on government contracts is now in charge of....government contracts.
Not hard to see what the game is there.
Geeter Mckluskie
The same as federal auditors

Can you verify your "without supervision" claim. Particularily regarding classified documents and military secrets.

He has unlimited, unsupervised access to all classified documents, computers...and the entirety of the US government does he?
Wowzers!

His game plan is to get a presidential pardon and avoid prison for his numerous SEC violations.

So you refuted a claim only you made? congratulations.
This of course means you had no argument against the claims made by others and concede they are valid and reasons to criticize what Musk is doing.

He has money and like many super rich is now seeking power.

Based on his words and actions, I think he sincerely wants to be a Bond villain. That and the world's first trillionaire.
Now we need a "Bond" to protect us from him and I fear there is no such person.

If he were a serious person, he would have bipartisan proposals for doing such. Instead it is just poo that comes out of his mouth.
