Musk praised for ‘exposing’ government waste as he departs DOGE

[Muhammed]

DOGE isn't leaving. Elon is. And probably his people with him. He's pissed that all his work was for nil, as this new spending bill increases spending.

You are dodging the question.

 

[LuckyDuck01!]

Musk turned out to be as much of a threat to Trump and the RINO's as he was the radical left. Especially with the BS that's going into this next bill. He would've exposed that and make the RINO's look like the same corrupt swamp creatures as Trump said he was going to go after.

DOGE did their job. The RINO's are forcing DOGE to leave.

Musk praised for ‘exposing’ government waste as he departs DOGE

The determination as to whether or not the One Big Beautiful Bill Act actually saves 1.6 Trillion dollars is actually up for debate and without its implementation and time, we won't know. One thing for sure though, throughout the entire four years of the Biden Administration, they were spending our tax dollars like it was their personal piggy bank with no end. The crap they were spending on was nothing short of absurd. Logic dictates that we wait to see.

I thought the official position was that a guy like Musk under these circumstances could only operate in the role he did for something like 180 days? After that, Congress has to get involved.

"We have to pass it to see what's in it."

Hmmm, where have I heard that before?

Ironically, the same hypocrites who attacked the Obamacare bill for being so lengthy are now signing off on a bill over a thousand pages long.

As for the bill saving $1.6 trillion, you have GOT to be kidding! It is ADDING $5.2 trillion to the debt.

One thing for sure though, throughout the entire four years of the Biden Administration, they were spending our tax dollars like it was their personal piggy bank with no end. The crap they were spending on was nothing short of absurd. Logic dictates that we wait to see.

Says the guy who willfully ignored Trump doubling the deficit BEFORE Covid.

Says the guy who willfully ignored Trump submitting the largest spending bill in US history BEFORE Covid.

Says the guy who willfully ignored Trump adding $8 trillion to the debt in half the time it took Obama.

Says the guy who willfully ignored Trump demanding more Covid stimulus than even the Democrats wanted.

How DO you stand the stench of your own hypocrisy?

This willful blindness certainly explains how partisan hacks like you actually bleev the Republican Party is the party of fiscal responsibility!

"It's Okay When Trump Does It!"

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Sure..................Musk wouldn't lie.

 

[TemplarKormac]

That number is up for debate, but let's stipulate it is accurate.

DOGE promised they would cut $2 TRILLION.

That's the very definition of a catastrophic failure.

That number was ambitious.

Catastrophic failure means nothing. No cuts, no nothing. No evidence of waste, fraud, or abuse.

But what they exposed and what they cut was only the tip of the iceberg.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Every man, woman, and child will have to return that check, along with an additional $16,000 apiece, just to pay for this most recent Republican bill.

Oh? Nothing has been passed yet, so shut it.

 

[TemplarKormac]

I see you are butt hurt that I proved DOGE is a catastrophic failure and in your duress you are trying to railroad the topic.

Sad.

Nobody here thinks you proved anything, except your ego.

So, prove all you want, but it's in your head, really.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Sure..................Musk wouldn't lie.

Poor guy. He doesn't want any of these revelations to be true. It will just prove his party was party to a massive spending spree at the taxpayer's expense.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Poor guy. He doesn't want any of these revelations to be true.

Not without proof.

Just because your dear leader's sidekick claims something, doesn't make it true.
Typing up his claims doesn't make them any truer.

Nope. Starlink was a massive help with the Helene victims. It was a boon to the recovery effort after the fires in California.

Admit it, your hate for the man overshadows your need to praise him for helping his fellow man without any regard for their political alignments.

 

[Godboy]

With that being said, the waste, fraud, and abuse will go on, back to normal.

Flash in the pan, this was.

I guess we know what democrats plan on doing to stop spending... nothing. Thanks for the honesty.

Free Starlink for Hurricane Helene victims not entirely free​

The Register
https://www.theregister.com › 2024/10/08 › free_starlin...
Oct 8, 2024 — The free Starlink service Elon Musk and SpaceX so graciously promised for communities devastated by Hurricane Helene in the US is not actually entirely free
according to those living in the aftermath - and the internet satellite operator's own signup page.

There is a significant caveat: You are still expected to foot the bill for the hardware.

Starlink's Twitter account declared last week, in a post with tens of millions of views, that "Starlink is now free for 30 days." The world's richest man, with a net worth of approximately $260 billion, followed up by saying, in quite the PR coup, that all Starlink terminals would now work automatically "without [the] need for payment in the areas affected by Hurricane Helene."


But try to sign up for the ostensibly "free" service in an area Starlink has designated as a Helene disaster zone, and surprise: You still have to pay for the terminal (normally $350, but reportedly discounted to $299 for disaster relief, though that's not reflected in Starlink's signup page), plus shipping and tax, bringing the grand total to just shy of $400.

Admit it, your hate for the man overshadows your need to praise him for helping his fellow man without any regard for their political alignments.

My hate for the man is just like it is for Trump.......A POS grifter.

 

[TNHarley]

Wrong. The law for "Special Government Employees" only authorizes them to work for the government for 130 days.

The clock runs out for Musk on May 31.

But then his Tesla brand was being ground into the dirt, so he had to leave early,

Your conspiracy theory is one of the weakest made-up stories of the year.



BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

That's priceless.

DOGE was a catastrophic failure. You didn't expect them to admit that, did you?

Kindly fuck off

The waste findings they revealed expose systemic breakdown:

$101 million for DEI contracts at Education.
$59 million for illegal immigrant hotel rooms.
$8 million for transgender mice research.

"Millions of software licenses with zero people using them. Zero."

Just a few DOGE findings. Bosrd Stain.....they chirp. But no meat.

Now that he is not involve and bragging about how much he did

Now we will know the truth not just sound bites of the current regime and Musk bragging about what he did

How much has Elon Musk's Doge cut from US government spending?

BBC Verify has looked at the agency's biggest claimed savings, examining the figures and speaking to experts.

BBC Verify has looked at the agency's biggest claimed savings, examining the figures and speaking to experts.

Our analysis found that behind some of the large numbers, there is a lack of evidence to back them up.

Hard to believe that the two biggest poser bragged about how well it was going

We downloaded the data from the Doge website on 23 April and added up the total claimed savings from contracts, grants and leases.

Our analysis found only about half of these itemized savings had a link to a document or other form of evidence.

US media has also highlighted some accounting errors, including Doge mistakenly claiming to have saved $8bn from cancelling an immigration contract which in fact had a total value of $8m.

other than Trump and Musk bragging about what they did
