Musk's comments on X:

 

The reason this matters is that a significant number of people who are supposed to be working for the government are doing so little work that they are not checking their email at all!

In some cases, we believe non-existent people or the identities of dead people are being used…

 

Do we still believe that $50M was given for bomb making condoms?

So out of the $billions ($trillions?) in waste and fraud that they've already identified, that's the hill you're going to fight on and die for? 

 

That's a great strategy for the Dems in the midterms. Focus on the minutia...

Musk’s initial findings on Gaza were an outright lie, and Musk admitted it. Reasoning and Occam’s Razor would suggest that your 'trillions,' without verifiable evidence, is the same.

Most voters focus on the $50 million of US taxpayer money that went out the door to stupid programs in the Middle East.  The MSM and Dems focus on the minutia, that the wasted $50 million didn't actually buy condoms. Who cares?

 

It was spent on other stupid stuff that doesn't benefit Americans who paid the money.

 

And if you believe in Occam's razor when it comes to wasting (and stealing) tax money, there's no way to have a reasonable discussion.  That's why $billions are spent each year by businesses auditing their books.  And now the gub'ment is auditing our books.  It won't be simple, because it's gotten so convoluted that humans can't do it.  It's going to take AI.

Hey thanks for answering, can you show us the real facts that demonstrate support of what we all (except the mentally ill) know is just a bald faced lie? Or do you just wish to demonstrate your bonafides to the racist, Socialist, thief loving subset of this forum?

   Musk stated that was was wrong and he was mistaken .

You claimed that he admitted lying .

Admitting that you were wrong and admitting lying are two different things .

   So, your claim was incorrect , Musk didn't admit to lying

And most voters are focused on the fact that the money's gone.  With no benefit to them.  Whether it went to condoms in Gaza or to drag queen story hours in Lower Slobovia.  It's not being spent to benefit taxpayers.

And that people that on average earn ~$94K+benefits a year don't want to go into the office and can't come up with five things they did last week.

Trump repeated the lie and double the lie to $100 million and for Hamas. It is in their DNA to lie.

Well a lot of people demand things of me , but most have no such authority to do so, and I just ignore them.  Or there is no consequence if I ignore them.  Musk is way out of line.  Having been in the Air Force, and the Government and also worked for several Defense companies, the rules are very simple.  You report to your manager(s). 

 

  Note that many people work on proprietary things, classified things, compartmentallized things, etc.  They can NOT send out any public information over any network or email server!

 

   Does Musk, the acknowledged cannabis user, have a security clearance or access to classified programs? Noforn, Secret, top secret, CNWDI, COMSEC, Yankee White, etc..?

Musk , the most productive guy in America, you mean ? Name 1 other person who has advanced America more than him!

You're missing my point. Of course all jobs should be justified but it's up to the employer to justify, not the employee. That has always been the case.

 

It's management who justify hiring, set targets and conduct appraisals.  If an employee doesn't meet reasonable targets then it's management who determine further action.

 

As for Elon getting paid, I'm sure he will be paid handsomely but he hardly needs the cash. Probably paid in Egocoin.

Government is not the same as a commercial company. When a government department hires loads of drones the taxpayer picks up the tab and the people don't get a say- clearly corrupt.

In the case of the government the managers report to the POTUS, and if the POTUS wants Musk to cull the drones then that is what happens.

Spittlescreech? That goes with spittlespew. I made those words up. That's okay in English prose especially when you want to be creative, not to give anything to myself for being creative. But don't both words conjure up a wonderful visual of some guy standing on the street corner unshaven, hair stuck out all over his head just screaming and frothing and he's got mucus dripping out of his nose that's just flying everywhere as he bellows and yells and waves his arm in the air. 

 

Like most Trump opponents that believe in things like the Russia hoax. I wanted some quick shorthand for the above and I thought that spittlespew and spittlescreech were apropos. Feel free to use them, I have no pride in author.

 

Maybe I'll send them to the Urban dictionary to describe extreme freak out or meltdown.

You are a liar.

 

"“Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week,” Musk posted. “Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”  

 

Shortly thereafter, government workers across multiple agencies received a brief email with the subject line: “What did you do last week?” The message instructed them to reply with five bullet points outlining their accomplishments and to copy their manager.""

Please point out the lie.
