Question for Republicans. What do you think about Musk being given the access that he's been granted?

[Anonymous]

He's infiltrated OPM, the US treasury, has access to Social Security information, which means information on pretty much every worker in the United States.

Is this something you support? And if not, what do you plan to do about it? This is a Pandora box you opened.

Hello? I know there's a lot of Republicans on this site.

They are loving it on conservative Reddit.

[Anonymous]

Is it legal? Don’t think so.

That is insane. Musk is a private citizen and an immigrant. How can they support him having that access?

I am okay with it, the swamp and control in DC is very real. While I no longer live there, I did for thirty plus years, the entitlement and sense of power was everywhere. I truly did believe most of those people were untouchable so it's' sorta of poetic to see them sweating under the collar as it were, also unbelievable at the same time. This will make a great movie one day and yes, I am enjoying watching the turmoil. Incidentally, I don't think it's as bad as most of you are making it out to be, nothing wrong with the incoming administration having access to all of this information. I think once it became clear there would be roadblocks, which is probably all the way back to the election month, they knew they'd have no choice.

Aka “stick it to the libs”. That’s all this is. Burn our country down just to annoy a few federal employees that you want to spite.

So what makes you think Musk has your best interest at heart?

Do you think he should have access to everyone's private data, which is what he's doing right now.

We had a $1.83 trillion budget deficit last year. Unsustainable. Musk thinks he can cut a trillion in spending. Good, let’s see what he comes up with. His experience at Twitter showed him that three quarters of the people employed there were useless at best.

Because the federal government is just like Twitter. Lol. You MAGAs are really intellectually challenged.

At this point it ai beyond obvious that structures and process have been used to entrench the status quo. Congress nor the American voter have the stomach to make needed changes.

An American citizen (immigrant!) is working to improve serious problems. *If* somehow he manages to deliver, it will be one of the greatest gifts ever received by our country. Entrenched interests have had decades to fix these problems. They’ve failed. Might as well try this. Just give him and his team a blanket pardon before Trump leaves office.

The New York Times comment section has a lot of people who think it's wonderful and that Elon will clean up government waste.

Do you think maybe that Musk himself might have some entrenched interests of his own? Or do you think he’s doing this out of the goodness of his heart?

Couldn’t the same be said about your workplace?
