Economy DOGE team interview on Fox, Musk there too

[method115]

Still waiting for him to go after the Pentagon and defense department and start exposing all that fraud.

DOGE: 15 million identified as 120 years old or older receiving social security.

Dems: Elon is a Nazi!

Some of the biggest errors in savings are, as CBS first reported, a USAID contract for $650 million that was listed three times, as The Intercept first reported, a Social Security contract listed as $232 million, instead of $560,000, and an ICE contract that DOGE listed as $8 billion, when, in reality, it was $8 million.

( So the actual savings is around $2 billion In general overall according to do persons actually tracking them .

So, as Jessica noted there, so far, there appears to be no evidence of fraud, despite Elon Musk claims of it. And she also added that, if you did distribute some of the — that $2 billion or so in savings across taxpayers in America, which is what Elon Musk has said he would like to do, it would basically come to $2.42 per person, so potentially not enough for a cup of coffee in some cities.

At this point, the $2 billion in savings identified by Elon Musk would pay for 1/75th of 1 percent of the entire national debt. I have not found any legitimate evidence of fraud in the spending that Elon Musk has highlighted. I have found expenditures that a lot of people wish the government wouldn't engage in, such as DEI contracts and Politico subscriptions. )

The above are just very concerning things it’s not what a Musk said it’s been investigated.

A look at the misleading and incorrect claims on DOGE's 'wall of receipts'

Elon Musk claims his campaign to fire tens of thousands of federal workers and cancel government contracts is in the name of rooting out “fraud” and “waste.” A website claims they’ve saved billions by cutting certain federal contracts, but reports and government documents prove that these...

As for your post well that’s debunked as well..I don’t know how you go on in your daily life but if your following these guys you don’t actually value your intelligence and like all his cult like supporters love being lied to ? That’s the only explanation with you guys you love being dumbed down ? Lol

(So are tens of millions of people over 100 years old receiving benefits?​

No.

Part of the confusion comes from Social Security’s software system based on the COBOL programming language, which has a lack of date type. This means that some entries with missing or incomplete birthdates will default to a reference point of more than 150 years ago. The news organization WIRED first reported on the use of COBOL programming language at the Social Security Administration.

Additionally, a series of reports from the Social Security Administration’s inspector general in March 2023 and July 2024 state that the agency has not established a new system to properly annotate death information in its database, which included roughly 18.9 million Social Security numbers of people born in 1920 or earlier but were not marked as deceased. This does not mean, however, that these individuals were receiving benefits )

The link below clearly shows he’s lying and even shows it would be virtually impossible for that to happen even with outdated systems because it stops paying automatically,only over paying the same individual can happen where money is then retrieved.

Tens of millions of dead people aren't getting Social Security checks, despite Trump and Musk claims

Me too but I don't hold out high hopes. In some ways that group has more power than the president with all the secret crap that goes on. If you do find something it's going to be dangerous to reveal. Even just looking into their stuff is dangerous stuff

 

[nixkid]

I'm not watching that. I just want to know what Big Balls had to say. Anyone have the cliffs?

 

[Fergelmince]

No, don't audit Federal Spending. It's all going as planned

Very true but if it's ever going to happen this is the time for it to happen. Like you said though I just think they are way to powerful.

I watched this last night and my thoughts (I haven't rewatched and it was late so my memory might be a bit shit):

I thought the DOGE team came off well, despite me not necessarily buying what they are selling. But overall, I do think they came off well to the average viewer and I would gladly be wrong if they are successful in revitalizing the government technology.

The second part of the interview with Musk alone I thought he came off really bad and felt like he was pushing hard towards censorship.

Here's part 2 timestamped.

Does the average viewer on FOX count though as capable viewers forming their own opinions if they recognize misleading agendas ( that’s a big IF ) , the problem is FOX viewers live in an alternate universe I know trust me .

I only watch it to see how far crazy has gone that day and so I can see how they can push a lie and they do it great . FOX news is the most watched network the FIVE ( the paid actors ) only Jessica Tarlov has a brain on the show and coincidentally is a democrat she’s the only one that actually fact checks then gets attacked and mocked by the other 4 to discredit her , I find that rather interesting as well . Lol

Coming off well to a certain ( special ) type of audience isn’t hard to do on that show , is Musk a smooth liar ? Yea they all are really no one other then King Liar himself Trump though he’s in a class that you’ll never ever see again .

Elon... the actual King of building companies off of tax payer money, whose signature company Tesla relied on selling bogus emissions credits to other auto manufacturers so Tesla could survive and who is pushing now for the biggest government gift of tax payer money in history if he can get tax payer money to fund his dream and CONTRACT WITH HIS COMPANY SpaceEx to do a manned mission to Mars, is laughably believed by Magats to be the savior of tax payer dollars. I mean FLOL if anyone is that stupid.

Elon by simply saying 'my companies will pay back all tax payer money received and end all such gov't programs moving forward including the SpaceEx support' would instantly save the US taxpayers multiples more than Doge can ever achieve.

Yea I got it right here .

Having Musk as a spokesman is a mistake. The guy is awkward, goofy and not a good speaker. DOGE is doing a good thing, with some hiccups, but his personality is hurting the work.

like him or not, the depth of knowledge he has is unbeaten. he does the same for battery day, tesla all hands, spacex all hands, product announcements, and he's highly successful with those ventures despite critics. that's how he does it because he usually fields questions and answers them in detail.

you must have forgot



you leftists thought it would crash and burn

and instead, the entire tech industry followed his lead.

who else has the credentials of firing 50% of their workforce and keep the company going as well as rolling out constant updates?

Twitter is still worth less than what he paid for it (by his own admission) and if stock price of Telsa continues to decline the banks will own Twitter since his purchase was collateralized with Telsa stock.

DOGE is saving the future of Social Security. Something our useless politicians could never do.

Looks like X is doing pretty good.


"The value of Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, has reportedly soared back to the $44bn he paid for it, in a dramatic reversal of fortunes since the billionaire became a key ally of Donald Trump.

Investors valued the site formerly known as Twitter at $44bn (£33.9bn) in a secondary deal earlier this month, in which they exchange existing stakes in the company, according to a Financial Times report.

The new $44bn valuation represents a remarkable turnaround for the platform and its investors, which include Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, 8VC, Goanna Capital and Fidelity Investments. The secondary deal will set a price for the primary fund raise of $2bn.

Revenues at the social media platform have fallen since Musk’s takeover but it posted adjusted profits of $1.2bn last year."

The important question was big balls there? Or could he not fit through the door due to the size of his massive testicles?

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

The government should stop bailing out private corporations if they are serious about saving money. And stop giving free stuff to parasites like Larry Fink.

USAID attorneys kept banks in check , they are gone now. Got some hidden charges on your account ? Sorry fuck you
