Makes you wonder why Biden pardoned Fauci.

Some think that if you repeat a lie often enough makes it true. George found out otherwise.

What happened to "read only" access. Are those red flags about unfettered access proving to be valid?

Judging from the comments section on some news outlets I would say not most, but many don't understand economics. Even some of my "informed" friends seem confused about the subject.

Read the lyrics to the song. I did not say it was a good idea, but only poking fun. Up to you if you want to interpret it as approval.

I do. There's a lot of fat to be trimmed.

Personally, I don't admire the three you mention with their obscene wealth. However, America doesn't have a complete monopoly of mega rich. Some other countries come to mind like India, France, Thailand, Mexico and China. What about the poor in those countries?

Where did I say income inequality is fine? America is a democratic republic and not a communist dictatorship. Our government has no authority to seize the assets of these mega rich and distribute it to the less fortunate. We also have laws regarding the organization of labor unions. Again, they cannot be imposed on any entity by force. What do you suggest that doesn't violate the U.S. Constitution? While some fall through the cracks, there are myriad of state and federal programs that provide help to poor Americans. By the bleeding heart way, how much do you contribute to NGOs that also help the less fortunate? Talk is cheap!

Maybe not the whole shebang, but most likely an equity stake

Where did I say it was a good idea?

The decision made by the newly appointed Secretary of the Treasury to give "read only" access is being challenged. Guess we will have to wait for a legal opinion to see whether this is legal or not.

As you said DOGE is not an official department authorized by Congress, but an advisory board established by EO. I do do not know how it is funded and would be interested to know. Not having "department" status, Musk's office is not in the White House.

Is this the nonsense you are referring to? https://federalregister.gov/documents/2025/01/29/2025-02005/establishing-and-implementing-the-presidents-department-of-government-efficiency

No. That would be poison and not medicine. You have a habit of demonizing successful capitalists. Why is it their fault that the U.S. government has an addiction to uncontrolled, wasteful spending. If the feds followed their game plan we wouldn't be so deep in hole. They are successful because they haven't spent more than they make. Is that too complicated for you to understand? You make no sense when you question whether Musk will make it worse. Make what worse?

Don't know. I don't live there.
