Musk Fails When Confronted About Condom-Gate

[Terrance8812]

Musk was asked by the press corps, during the Oval Office press conference (linked below), to correct the false, hyperbolic statement he made previously about the US govt. giving $50 millions dollars in condoms to Hamas. His response:

 

"...some of the things I say will be incorrect and should be corrected."

 

There are only two ways one can interpret his words logically; otherwise, you are falling for his weak minded attempt at sleight of hand.
 

First is that he is lying and trying to make it look as if he made an honest human mistake and is glad to be fact-checked. But how do you mistaken Mozambique for Hamas to begin with? Doesn't add up. Not convincing.

 

The second option is that he wasn't lying, and he did really somehow make that absurd mistake, in which case why is it suddenly the public's job to correct him when in fact he should be fact-checking all the information he gathers about the government before he puts any of it out there as a public statement. And much of the stuff is difficult for anyone to fact check anyway when they don't have access to the data. 

 

Either way, whatever Musk says about government spending can't be taken at face value or trusted to be the truth. Whether it's about the unaudited $8 million per minute his privately owned companies collectively get paid by the US government or about the Federal government's spending on any other things. He's full of it. Full stop.

Seems geography isn't his strong point. Oh wait this is the man that 's taking us to Mars ......

He admitted to a mistake. He actually said mistakes will be made. Fair enough IMHO but from this you extrapolate that everything DOGE is finding must therefore not be trusted. "Either way, whatever Musk says about government spending can't be taken at face value or trusted to be the truth." Ridiculous. Evidence is being gathered and lots of it. Still I guess for for some evidence is not enough.

[Jingthing]

It wasn't a mistake.

It was OBVIOUSLY intentionally spread strategically time MISINFORMATION spread by the master of the most influential MISINFORMATION vehicle on earth -- Musk owned Twitter. (Who cares what that weirdo calls it now).

Show the evidence. If there is any, and I doubt it, use constitutionally approved methods to handle the issues.

Trump: We spent $50 million on condoms for Hamas!…

Musk: What is this condom you speak of?…

[bamnutsak]

People are saying this is the best transparency ever.

 

 

I can tell when Musk is prevaricating and dissembling.

 

His lips move.

Can't say I would of ran with that name for the forum.

Notwithstanding the fact Musk is totally out of line questioning medical aid support around the globe, none of the words out of the Oval Office and the DOGE can be fact checked by default. Its how the propaganda machine is designed.

[bannork]

Musk's nose picking kid could have added some dignity to the occasion by asking Donald if he could sit in his chair whilst he was mining his bogies.

Musk claims he should be corrected when he makes a mistake, yet no one has access to the same data he references when spreading false and disinformation.
 

The fact that he was caught lying this time about condoms being sent to Hamas is fortunate for the public, but future falsehoods about U.S. government spending could become harder to catch, as Musk is likely to start covering his tracks better.

 

Meanwhile, Musk’s supposed efforts to cut wasteful government spending are just a distraction and a sideshow from the real issue which is that the added spending and tax cuts laid out by Trump will increase the U.S. debt and deficit by as much as $4 trillion over the next decade. 

 

Trump ran on improving government efficiency and reducing the deficit, yet he’s increasing spending to levels considerably higher than the previous administration, not net cutting of government spending at all under Trump.

The fact it was GAZA.  and there are clearly 2 places with the same name. 

You don't think the government spending should be audited??., or you have T  D S  and cant accept anything Trump does or allows Musk to do

A Woman is questioning him .

All you have to do is say ONE wrong thing and a woman will never forget and just keep going on about it all the time .

   She's going to get a few years mileage of out this 

[SunnyinBangrak]

The entire liberal hivemind is suddenly dogpiling on Musk. How authentic. Wait till they get sicced on the next target. Nothing says genuine outrage than following state paid propaganda networks talking points😅

Right. It's only by tweets.

 

A good example of Musk's tactics is the fact that he blocked the USAID website, so that no one can fact-chek his accusations.

Because of lot of people get paid to do nothing. 

[SiSePuede419]

Have Trump, Musk, and DOGE really, like, totally uncovered some government fraud?

 

Whoa, bro, let’s ride this gnarly wave of truth. 😂

 

Nah, dude, no way, not even close, zero chance, absolutely not, not feelin’ it, hard nope, not this time.

 

“Nothing they’ve pointed at is, like, actually fraud or corruption, man,” said Jessica Tillipman, some bigwig at GWU who knows her stuff.

 

“Fraud and corruption? That’s straight-up illegal, bro. This is just a different crew spending cash in a different way. Calling it all fraud? That’s, like, mega sketch.”

 

Mega sketch is just a polite way of saying you’re spinning a total kook story.

 

Back in the day, Congress whipped up the Inspector General Act of ‘78 ‘cause Watergate was, like, a massive wipeout.

 

Now these IG dudes are supposed to keep things chill—audit, investigate, make sure the cash stash isn’t getting raided by Musk's Tech Bros who couldn't get laid in high school.

 

But, let’s be real, nobody’s sweating the rules anymore, man.

 

Get with the program.

 

We got a dude in charge who’s gonna swipe grandma’s social security check, chuck it in his infinity pool, and backstroke through it like he’s flexing at the Olympics.

 

Total bummer, bro.

 

Welp, gotta kick off.

 

Epic waves, no babes. 🏄

[Jingthing]

In my view there is near full bipartisan consensus that actual waste and fraud in government agencies should be looked at and corrected when detected.

But the illegal unconstitutional methods of Musk's DOGE is not the legitimate way to address this.

Address such things via proper legal methods involving CONGRESS (it's their job!) with full transparancy and debate and it's a total win win.

But the Trump regime doesn't want bipartisan legal methods.

They want to destroy destroy destroy everything and flood the zone with as they said - s__t.

Their actions with USAID have already murdered people.

This is not OK.

Hey liar, what does Elon provide for that $8M a day. 

 

That’s like $3B a year, kind of chump-change for Musk. 

[frank83628]

Democrats and anti Trump tards fixating on this because the country was incorrect, but ignoring the fact it was 50million usd for condoms....but but but Trump, but but Musk. Losers
