He can't be satisfied to have the biggest company, it has to be bigger than the next 5 put together. And having President Trump in your back pocket helps. The other thing I think he's angling for is NASA to pay for his trip to Mars. I've heard President Trump talk about it a few times. that’s something we all should get behind. If Elon actually balanced the budget the amount of money he saved us would more than pay for that mars trip.

B-Man Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago Why Elon Musk And DOGE Terrify Democrats Derek Hunter You may have noticed the absolute meltdown of the left over the existence of Elon Musk and the DOGE team doing exactly what Donald Trump was elected to do. I phrased it that way because that’s exactly what is happening – someone is finally going through the government’s books and records to figure out what people do, how much it costs, where the rest of the money is going and whether or not we can live without it since we’re more than $36 trillion in debt. Why would anyone meltdown over that? There’s a very simple reason: Democrats cannot afford for the American people realizing how much government they can live without. More than that, they can’t have the public recognize how much the government was actually getting in their way and impeding their success. The public doing either of those two things would be the end of the Democratic Party. Not one single person in the Democratic Party, either elected or in journalism, has commented positively on anything the Department of Government Efficiency has uncovered and ended so far, nothing. No matter how wasteful, no matter how absurd, no matter how insane or stupid, Democrats are angry that DOGE exists, not that we taxpayers are being ripped off. That tells you something. The most amazing part of all of it is how these people, who’ve spent decades milking taxpayers for their pet causes, for money to fund organizations that employ their children and fund their campaigns, that hire and pay them exorbitant amounts of money for no-show or symbolic jobs when they retire, that use insider information that make them more successful at stock trading than people who do it for a living, have the audacity to refer to what Musk and the crew are doing as somehow motivated by “greed.” {snip} The “kids,” as the left likes to belittlingly call them, who work with him are not in it for the money, either. Most have founded companies, won massive investments in their ideas, and don’t need anything to be more successful than anyone whining about them. What they want, what they crave is a challenge. People who’ve risked and accomplished nothing have no understanding of how successful people, at any level, need a challenge. Standing on top of a mountain is boring, climbing to the top of it is what life is all about. Get there, conquer, then move on to the next things. https://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2025/02/09/why-elon-musk-and-doge-terrify-democrats-n2651908 . 1 1

I commented prior to you regurgitating by bolding RUSSIA. It was in my post. The only interest I had in it was pointing out your nonsense. I actually have zero interest in tying Trump’s comments on South Africa to it being a win for PUTIN. There’s a cottage industry out there for that. It’s made up entirely of people that have gone on ad nauseam about Putin, Russia, fascists, and nazis. People like you, that now find themselves on the outside. It’s extremely boring and utter nonsense. 2
B-Man Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago To be clear, what the DOGE team and USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following: - Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible. - All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING! - The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily. The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from DOGE. It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already! Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious. When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!! This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately. 1 1

Describes them better We are all triggered by KC being in the Super Bowl again. If ranting like a fool saves those around you (unlikely), that’s fine. If you are alone (likely) you should look for an outlet where you don’t come off as an unhinged dumbass. Maybe play with an electric socket. That can be fun.
