Proof?

Nothing he says has any legal weight or Presidential endorsement. Elon and his coterie of goons can lie all we wants, and government employees should ignore them.

Is this true?

Musk's clearance was in the process of being taken away due to his drug use, so I doubt it. That's one reason he's gone crazy trying to fire everyone.

Elon Musk has clearances you don’t even know exist.

$55 BB saved. According to Musk's website.

So where does that savings go?

Why aren’t you finding anyone who can win NEXT time?

Ok so you just think the potus is always right and can do whatever they want? Was this your response every time someone criticized Biden?

The president works for us. We do not work for him.

If you work in the Executive Branch of Federal Government he’s kind of your boss. The American People elected him to do the very job he’s doing. If you didn’t like him you should’ve found someone better than a unintelligent Boomer to run against him.

So…again…is this how you felt over the past four years?

I wasn’t the person you asked that question to, you should ask them, I don’t even know what you’re talking about.

During the Biden admin, did you say things like, “If you are a fed, he is your boss and he is doing what the American people elected him to do. If you don’t like it, you should have found someone other than an unintelligent boomer to run against him.”

For the record, I don’t recall him saying that he was going to give Musk and a bunch of college kids untethered access to all of our data. I don’t recall him saying that Musk could decide which government funding was ok and could cancel all the rest. I don’t recall any warning that government firings would be so extraordinarily indiscriminate that they might accidentally fire very crucial nuclear personnel so carelessly that they have no way to contact them to ask them to return. I don’t recall a warning that planes might start falling out of the sky and that he would respond to this by cutting hundreds from FAA. Yeah…I don’t think this is what America voted for.

For the initial onslaughts, Musk had zero official government position and still has no clearances. Is being known as a friend of Trump somehow magically enough to open doors? And to allow him to fire people?

Clearly he’s getting his money’s worth — at the expense of citizens and taxpayers.

Ok let’s break it down. This is certainly not in my wheelhouse, but I try to look at the big picture instead of basing everything off a scary-looking screen grab.

So, I went to a pearl-clutch-inducing contract for $25m with USDA for DEIA assessment/training. Upon closer look, the contract is *up to* $25m over a 5-year period. I think that this does not mean that they have or will get paid the whole amount. It is a blanket purchase agreement. Looking at the “receipts” it appears that maybe none of it has been paid out..?

Again, I am no expert on this, so hopefully someone better qualified than I am will come along and explain.

I did not see the receipts for Elon’s $20 billion in government contracts. Did I miss that? Can you share that link?

You’re not reading this wrong. They are posting things like this because they know lots of people will FAIL to do their necessary research to see what each of these contracts really are. And when people ask substantive questions and in depth investigation (like what is done in a real audit) then they will deflect.

Simple put all they are doing is cancelling contracts that haven’t started payment yet, or using some truly questionable criteria to put others on the chopping block.

Lucky for you the DOGE website dumbs it downfor you and separates by savings and total contract amount.

No that’s dumbing it down for you, because us smart folks understand how audits work so know to ask questions. Like, what services was this organization actually supposed to provide? Like, if we kill the news subscriptions, what impact will that have on our Foriegn Service staff and others who are charged with keeping up with this sort of thing? When was the decision made to shutter certain lease and property agreements?

Details matter.
