One of the judges who has been previously tilted against Trump? I find this remarkable. Not sure what to make of it yet. I have to presume, for now, that there was just no way to wiggle out of this and work against the President. Startling..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrailGuy 552 Posted February 20 DOGE has achieved “God mode.” That’s according to an employee in senior leadership at USAID, who told us that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency now has full, unrestricted access to the agency’s digital infrastructure—including total control over systems that Americans working in conflict zones rely on, the ability to see and manipulate financial systems that have historically awarded tens of billions of dollars, and perhaps much more. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/02/doge-god-mode-access/681719/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrailGuy 552 Posted February 20 Within just the last week or so, Elon Musk’s DOGE hit team of mostly young, almost exclusively male engineers and executives have done the following: Pushed a website live to track “savings” that showed no savings for several days, and made it trivially easy for random people on the internet to make changes to it. Published classified information on that same website. Got called out for accidentally inflating that savings amount by $7,992,000,000, and doubled down on their inaccuracy before they fixed it. Fired hundreds of people who work on nuclear security, then scrambled to rehire them, except they had nuked all the work email addresses and personnel files so they didn’t know how to get in touch. Basically the same deal, except with the US Department of Agriculture employees working to protect the country from a looming bird flu crisis. Rehired a 25-year-old engineer with a stack of racist tweets to his name. Spouted a bunch of nonsense conspiracy theories about who’s getting Social Security benefits. (Okay, that was all Musk.) https://www.wired.com/story/doge-incompetence-mistakes-feature-not-bug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I think some of their concerns have merit.....not their menopausal shrieking..... but I do think this not being handled "perfectly". It is clear that not enough analysis is being done, and people who we need are being removed, I think they need to revise their approach and make it better.....as does every entity of course. That being said, Democrats seem to be aware that eventually these people are going to be able to trace some of this money flowing back to them from the foreign entities it is said to be going. Right now Democrats are like that guy who was pulled over, and they stink of alcohol...but want to raise holy hell that the cop had no reason to pull them over.

TrailGuy 552 Posted February 26 The Federal Aviation Administration has agreed to use SpaceX’s Starlink internet system to upgrade the information technology networks it uses to manage US airspace, raising new concerns about conflicts of interest for CEO Elon Musk in one of his other roles, that of recommending funding cuts at federal agencies, including the FAA. The size of this contract was not immediately reported. SpaceX is a privately held space technology company greatly dependent on federal contracts, primarily from NASA. Its Starlink satellite internet provides service for government and private customers around the world. Elon gave himself more of our money. Awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is certainly Orwellian. Libertarians don’t usually take billions of dollars of welfare money from the United States government. Have you ever read Atlas Shrugged?

No, he might be a libertarian, but more likely he is one of those fiscal conservative and liberal socially people who just declares themselves libertarian. I dont really know what is is per se....he seems to have at one time been at least a little more Democrat than anything else, but realized what they are really all about and moved away from them. Ahhh, you are a fan of Ayn Rand! i did read Atlas Shrugged!
