My thoughts on Elon Musk

[Rawley]

Start with Social Security.
They closed down offices, while requiring people to show up in person to apply for social security.

And their automated (DOGE AI) phone system, doesn't recognize a person trying to inquire about a missing social security check.

It instead puts them into an endless loop, where if they want to talk to an operator, they have to explain the problem first.
And when they do the AI does a wash, rinse, repeat.

so congress approved that expenditure. There was no fraud or waste involved. You and Musk are certainly free to disagree with that expenditure, but you don't have the authority to override things congress passed. You don't understand that?

SHUP clown. They also “approved” $40 million per week to the Taliban. Your corrupt wasteful dirty D and phony R congress not mine. You cheer for more you sensless IQ88 pigs.

Apparently, Little DickyJohnson is using the age old excuse, Obidens 2025 spending is already approved. We can’t stop it? WTH?

But next time we will? In OCT? I don’t have time to understand and im not paid tens of millions to figure it out. We don’t get clear answers but it is waste.

SS was not “running out of money”. They were losing it or it being stolen under fraud. You figure it out.

$93 million rushed out (Autopen?) final days before Trump (per Whistleblower) to a bunch of Green BS. Just another example of 12 yrs raiding the strongbox to prop up criminal D. Paying the media $10s of million. SHUP yo trolling bags of garbage. You know it, you heard it day after day back to 09’ Solyndra.

Games on. Stuff it. Just stuff it.

Maybe you missed it. But the longer DOGE worked, the less savings they found.

Maybe you shouldn't use past tense since they will be working for the American taxpayer another 20 months. Thank you DOGE!

In one case, she and her paralegal had to call repeatedly before they were connected with a human to discuss a client who never got their disability check last month.

“Many times when you say ‘agent’ it won’t put you through to the hold line, it’ll act like it didn’t hear what you said,” Burdick said.

When a Post reporter called the phone line Friday afternoon, it took eight attempts to get transferred to an agent. The AI bot asked the reporter several times to end the call and gave unrelated information about a cost-of-living adjustment, Medicare Part B’s premium and benefits available to people after the retirement age.

What has he done that is so bad? America has $36T in debt and more coming. Do you realize the predicament? You are in major trouble.and your own courts are encouraging this insolvency, making it difficult for Trump to right the ship.

Name one thing, one thing that Trump & his toadies in Congress have done to lower our debt & our defecit. THEY are in charge. The fact of the matter is that neither Trump or his asslicker's in Congress don't give a flying fuck about the defecit unless a Dem is in the W.H. Then they clutch pearls & blow smoke up the ass of idiots who don't know any better or choose to be willfully stupid.

Btw, Musk took a walk because he accomplished what he set out to do, which is to destroy as much of the Federal Govt as he could during his time in the W.H. Trump was too busy playing games as POTUS & lining his filthy pockets to give a rat's ass what Musk & his DOGE punks were up to. We still don't know the full extent of what Musk did. Good riddance to that fuck.

So you agree with US taxpayers funding Pakistani gender studies. LMAO, nice to know. Your problem is obvious.

Show your evidence for that or admit you are just maliciously trolling.

....I guess basic logic is foreign for you - no wonder you think that owning a house distracts from being able to run businesses, yet 14 children with mutiple women and getting neck deep into partisan politics does not.

 

[Foxfyre]

I guess simple logic is foreign to you.

If you can't support it with anything, it is hardly logical.

Obamacare is one of the issue here as it was set up to exponentially increased the costs of Medicaid.

Not even close. Back in 2009, Medicaid with no expansion was expected to cost 2.3% of GDP this year.

As it turns out, Medicaid with the expansion is going to cost 2.15% of GDP this year.

Elon Musk is thought of both as an elitest, out of touch rich boy, who bought his way into American politics and slashed many essential programs for the working class and the poor, as well as a really smart, decisive guy who understands the reality of balancing a budget involves making hard choices that are not always popular.

As an Independent, I think the truth lies somewhere between these two views.

Despite being born into a wealthy family, Elon Musk was famous for working very long hours for months on end, overcoming the many barriers to developing a truly unique vehicle that was both affordable, supercharging, and easily updatable.

I don't think Elon truly understood what it was like to be a working class American, so his thoughts on what were essential programs, and which needed to be slashed were far from perfect, but I do believe what he proposed as cuts were done with the sincere intention of making the American Government a better one, so I'm not inclined to judge him too harshly. In addition, I agree with Elon Musk when he said recently: "I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing," Musk said in a May 27 interview on CBS Sunday Morning.

Musk and Trump have proven once and for all that “Businessman” is an essential qualification for being president. No more incompetent tarts like Kamala, AOC, or Obama.

I agree there is a lot of money being spent where it shouldn't be. However, it's up to congress to change that. They are the only one that can. Some unelected billionaire can't override congress. All we can do is call our congressmen.

 

[BULLDOG]

Never said that. All I'm saying is Musk was a waste of time. If congress approved it, it's not fraud. Congress is the only way to change things.

BS. If DOGE identifies spending on out of control contracts (for example) costing $100million and they know of software or newer $2K systems to eliminate $100 million wasted you say they have to run that thru Schumer? Pound sand loon. And they've done a lot of that already.

Every department has head people that can OK change. They don't have to keep wasting the budget. If not, kill me now.

Quit making me work on a 4" phone on crap you already know or should know,!!!! Gosh dammmeeet I'm getting hot!!!!! Games on too!!!

Congress doesn't have any idea of how much waste and fraud there is. Musk has no power to change anything, there has never been any claim that he did. That is pure democrat/msm fabrication. DOGEs mission was to investigate and identify waste and fraud so that the responsible gov't agencies can address the fraud and waste. Gaslighting doesn't work anymore.

I wouldn't say he is an elitist. He sold all his properties and, if the reports are true, lives in a tiny house on the property of space x.

Yep, that's what they gotta do. The constitution gave congress that authority, and they have to be the ones to change it. Of course, if the SC deems it unconstitutional, that's a different rout. I don't see that happening.
