Can we quite believe Musk and his adolescents regarding these fraud discoveries? Yet alone the value of these findings.backintexas2013 said:
We shouldnt be doing either. You only are about Musk. You never speak out against waste and stealing from the makers to give to the takers.
Maybe it's because he's a genius and has the only reusable rocket booster on the planet and can launch payloads to orbit at less than half the cost of any other aerospace company in existence. SpaceX put about 4x the tonnage of payload into orbit for the last two years than every other country (not company) in the world combined - including the Chinese and Russians.BigFred said:93MarineHorn said:Elon & DOGE give RECOMMENDATIONS for things that should be gutted or at least questioned.

If DOGE continues finding billions, and possibly trillions, of dollars in fwa, which could help lower taxes that ultimately allows your paychecks to be bigger, then why are y'all (your voting party and elected officials), so against Elon Musk. Im seriously having a hard time connecting the dots here.
Non-independent, unelected...etc. etc. etc. with tons of skin in the game!
Just admit you hate watching your leftist slush funds drying up and all the corruption getting exposed.
Mr. Musk's rocket company, SpaceX, effectively dictates NASA's rocket launch schedule. The Defense Department relies on him to get most of its satellites to orbit. His companies were promised $3 billion across nearly 100 different contracts last year with 17 federal agencies.

He also has the only man-rated capsule in the United States. If it weren't for Musk and SpaceX, we would still be relying ont he Russians to get our astronauts to and from the space station.
So yes, the pace of his company's ability to prepare vehicles for launches does dictate the pace of NASA's schedule, and everyone elses too. So yes he makes a crap ton of money doing it. He has the premier product in the industry and is a probably decade ahead of his closest competitor outside of maybe Bezos. He's living the American dream.
Only a true leftist could wonder about using a company with a high quality, proven product at a lower price, and question why that company would be getting all the business.
We should be thanking our lucky stars we have an innovator/inventor/entrepeneur like Musk that lives in this country and advanced our society, not trying to tear him down because he cares enough to come to work for our president at no charge with a mandate to try and apply business principles to our federal government, root out the fraud, waste, and abuse, and save our economy before it implodes.
You need to take a deep breath and sit this one out. Watch what serious adults can do when they are allowed to go to work and knock off the ridiculous cat calls from the back bench.

These were Agencies some wanted to dismantle from the beginning! The fired IG's were independent, and had DOGE worked with the IG's and both agreed,. perhaps their findings would be more credible!

No sitting out here. You are confusing him being a so-called genius with him being a humanitarian. Two different personalities. Cross referencing the two mentalities in roles designed for different end goals, are mistakes
made by a money worship culture.

Once student loans shifted to the government, it was like the universities suddenly became sidewalk vendors offering all kinds of useless goodies. The shoppers lapped it up and the money poured in. We the taxpayers funded all of this of course and got double-screwed by FJB & the Democrats by forgiving the loans that we were backing with borrowed money to begin with. Amazing if you step back and look at it.
Schools immediately started adding more and more useless layers of administrators and paying profs ridiculous salaries, the perfect scheme which matches our Fed government - bloated, far left and arrogant. Trade schools were for losers and here we are, with college-educated baristas, 35 year olds living with mom and dad, and oh yeah, no skilled workers.
Hell of a deal.
