Bob is the fictional person who doesn't have a conflict of interest like Elon does.

Elon's companies have government contracts and are regulated by government departments, he clearly has a conflict of interest in deciding where to cut expenditure.

You keep pointing this out, and clearly for most (myself included) we don’t give a shit because nobody else but Elon has stepped up to make this happen.  Without Elon we’d still be in a world with cost + contracts dominating the space industry, and without Elon this entire process of eliminating waste from government spending would take 10x as long.  If you were at all familiar with how the takeover of Twitter was done this is following almost an entirely parallel playbook.  At this point I don’t give a shit if he really is a big old meany and somehow comes out of this with a few hundred million is extra contracts for Space X and Tesla, Doge is on track to save taxpayers trillions of dollars.  Maybe there are thousands of CPAs who “could” be doing the same job as Elon and his team, but this is the real world and “could” doesn’t mean shit, results do and Elon produces them.


If people really can’t send a simple email out explaining what they did for the week and what they plan to do in the coming week I have zero sympathy, cut these idiots.  I’m sick of busting my ass and doing my best to build a life for myself only for these fucks to steal half of my money and squander/embezzle a significant portion of it.  I’m done with it and millions of hardworking people across the country are done with it, we’ve all worked harder then we ever should have needed to and there needs to be accountability for that, they’ve fucked with our lives and livelihoods for long enough.

I'm not disagreeing with the need to cut government spending, I'm pointing out the conflict of interest.

Wherever there is money and power, there is always corruption, politics just changes the group of pigs at the trough.

We could get some Russians like Gennady Korotkevich, Petr Mitrichev, and Alexander Stepanov to TRY to do the job.  Those 3 guys are pretty elite. But I assure you it would take them much more time than Elons current crew.

Jesus, can you beat a dead horse anymore?

We don't fucking care that there could be a conflict of interest, his companies are the most scrutinized in the world. If he is up to shady shit you really think every fucking liberal on earth won't call him out?

How about rather than blaming him for something he has not done, maybe his intentions are good and the fact that he is worth hundreds of billions of dollars is enough and he wants to do something good for his adopted Country?

Again- if he does self serving deals you can spend all day telling us about it. But unless that happens for fucks sake shut the hell up about it.

It's not a conflict of interest for me and the majority of Americans for the simple fact that ELON is not a Federal Bureaucrat.  They are going after Federal Bureaucrat spending/abuse mainly.  That means that if a Fed Bureaucrat was in charge of Doge it would then be a direct conflict of interest.  But Elon isn't a  Bureaucrat.  And really you aren't going to find anyone else as good willing to do the job that needs to be done for free  and done swiftly.  When I say he has great people ,look at some of his technology - he doesn't create that stuff himself ,his employees do.

Congress approved the government's expenditure, both sides of Congress had conflicts of interest when they approved the expenditure, you must approve of the government's expenditure.

Jeezus.  I come back from a long day of riding, check this forum, and it's all the usual suspects, pecking away at their keyboards all day, defending shady billionaires as they cut the jobs of veterans and hard working Americans.

What amazes me the most as how HARD you guys defend your billionaire hero's.  It's so bizarre.    PRO TIP... they don't give a shit about you, but you still defend them to the death.

Does it worry you guys that your mom could wander down to your basement bedroom and catch you yanking it to Musk or Trumps social media feed?

Really,as shady as some politicians here in the USA  are ,any Fed budget/.spending approval should be on the ballot and approved by us voters. Congress approving their own budgets for money they want to abuse and have abused is the real conflict of interest.  Sure they were voted in to represent us ,but rarely do any represent us.  Maybe Ron Paul when he was in congress. He always voted no against their shady stuff.

No, I (and the majority of US citizens, which you are not) don't approve of anything the Government has been doing for decades.

Politics is a complete money grab free for all, and those in politics that don't play the game are bounced out of politics. No money, no political career.

Super PAC's and unlimited spending have created a monster that is only out for the grift, at the expense of the US citizens (yes both D and R are in on the money grab).

Trump and Musk are the first ones in many decades to try and tame the monster, and you idiots think they are the evil ones.

If it turns out in a year or two that they were just in it to get even richer, then fuck them too. And you could come back and talk shit all you want.

But I am willing to give them a chance to change shit in this Country, or we are all fucked.

I never said Musk or Trump were the evil ones, they are just different pigs at the trough.

You have highlighted the root cause, money, the issue with Super PAC's and lobbyists needs to be addressed, otherwise the graft continues.

Trump and Musk will double their net worth the next few years.  You'll probably stay about the same, maybe fair a little less thanks to inflation and tarrifs.   Read up on the history of Donald Trump, then get back to us on why you think he, of all people, is down in Washington looking out for you.   He's bankrupted like 6 companies in his business career, and been involved in thousands of lawsuits.... thousands.  He's as shady as they come.   I just don't get it why MAGA think he cares about them, there is NO PROOF of that.

"Musk should be immediately disqualified from any such watchdog role for the following reasons: he effectively put Trump over the election finish line, giving $288 million to PACs or Super PACs supporting Trump; the Wall Street Journal (paywall) reported that Musk has been communicating with Russian President Vladimir Putin since 2022, notwithstanding the fact that Musk’s company SpaceX is a U.S. military defense contractor and Putin is on a U.S. sanctions list for launching a war on Ukraine.

In addition, Musk’s companies have received $19.8 billion in U.S. government contracts since 2009. 

And finally, and most importantly, Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency is now investigating the same federal agencies whose Inspectors General were investigating Musk’s companies until they were sacked by the Trump administration last month. "

Or, it is worth $300 million dollars to Musk to get a chance to clean up the DC swamp and government corruption and waste. 

Didn't Trump lose about $1 billion of personal wealth during his first term?

Didn't Musk buy Twitter for $44 billion to do something about government censorship and see that investment fall to $9 billion (although it may be back up to near $44 billion soon)?

It's also possible that their wealth means less to them than their desire to clean the mess up.

Ooh, very insightful. Now tell us why Obama assigned the FBI to investigate Trump when it was learned Trump was considering running for President.

Could be a but sus, dude is not a citizen. But damn sure wields a lot more power than a single vote. You tell me, why do we get so lucky to have Musk care about the purse strings of our nation?

I believe Musk became a US citizen in the early 2000s. 

Well, one thing to consider is he is wielding the power mostly out in the open. That seems much better than those who have done so in the shadows in the past, and most likely still do. 

In the long run it may all be a big ruse, but my hunch tells me it's not. 

My opinion - Musk seems like the type who, if he could clean up US government fraud, corruption and waste, but lose everything and end up sleeping on someone's couch in a run down mobile home somewhere, he would be fine with that, and ready to start over. 

And no, I don't care what y'all think about that opinion of mine 😁

Nothing changes, all the usual suspects are in here screaming about everything that MIGHT happen, the world is on fire, democracy is ending, etc..

That is part of why the majority of Americans don't trust Democrats, the lowest approval ratings in history (what like 21% or something?).

Every thing Trump does, no matter what he does, is the end of the world. Until the next thing that he does, and then that is the end of the world. 

And they completely ignore the last thing that he did. And so on, just no matter what, if his mouth opens that is the new end of the world for Democrats narrative of the day. We could write a novel of all of the end of democracy issues that never happened, just like almost every conspiracy theory turned out to be true.

Good thing we MAGA hillbilly folk are too stupid to realize that not every day is the end of the world. Good luck with that mindset you genius Moran libs.

Didn't Trump lose about $1 billion of personal wealth during his first term?

Didn't Musk buy Twitter for $44 billion to do something about government censorship and see that investment fall to $9 billion (although it may be back up to near $44 billion soon)?

It's also possible that their wealth means less to them than their desire to clean the mess up.

I believe Musk became a US citizen in the early 2000s. Well, one thing to consider is he is wielding the power mostly out in the open...

Well, one thing to consider is he is wielding the power mostly out in the open. That seems much better than those who have done so in the shadows in the past, and most likely still do. 

In the long run it may all be a big ruse, but my hunch tells me it's not. 

My opinion - Musk seems like the type who, if he could clean up US government fraud, corruption and waste, but lose everything and end up sleeping on someone's couch in a run down mobile home somewhere, he would be fine with that, and ready to start over. 

And no, I don't care what y'all think about that opinion of mine 😁

He's a South African, Canadian and US citizen, many allegiances!

When he doesn't like a country he leaves, it looks like he doesn't like the planet...
