Musk in the video: "We post our actions to the DOGE handle on X and the DOGE website."

This is what doge.gov looks like right now (2:45 pm, 2/11/25). Nothing. A few meaningless words and no links. No actions posted here.

Musk doesn't even try to make his lies look true.

Perhaps you're thinking, well, that's okay because Elon is an uber-genius whose got this... Elon apparently is completely unaware that our government uses literally thousands of separate SQL databases.

Elon's Musk's arch-nemesis, USAID whose focus is providing aid to the world's poorest people and benefits many US farmers in doing so, passed their audit that completed 2 months ago with flying colors.

And no, not all 19-year-olds are tech wizards. And no, the Musk folks aren't performing much needed audits and turning up massive fraud. Trump fired all the Inspector General's that are actually responsible for and qualified to audit these agencies.

Instead, these are kids Musk recruited from Discord & online chat groups. One of his top lieutenants is a 19-year-old who's online handle is, Big Balls. Big Balls got fired from his recent internship for leaking insider information to a rival company. He has pretty much no relevant experience.

Perhaps you believe Musk is utilizing his top, well-tested, engineers from Tesla, X, and Space X in his efforts to supposedly massively overhaul every computer system the US Federal Government uses. Well, you'd be wrong.

Don't worry y'all, "Big Balls" is on the job...
If you think this whole Trump/Musk/DOGE thing is going well, you are horribly misinformed.
Example 987,023 of just how ridiculous this all is:

I fully expected this to be bleak, but they went hard FAST. Oligarchs lined up behind him. Musk gives a Nazi salute. Trump pardons Proud Boys leader. And the media is owned by the oligarchs and utterly complicit. I feel like we are watching a modern day Nazi Germany rise.

Enough people have expressed interest in the mobility stuff I do that I decided to throw together a website to organize my list so it can be ignored by everyone. For fun, I decided to play with an AI logo generator. If you follow my program, these are the types of results you should expect. πŸ™‚

Today is *not* a β€œpeaceful transfer of power.” It’s the completion of a violent coup attempt that began this morning four years ago. Yes, Trump won the β€˜24 election; but he was only able to run because we failed to fully confront the fact of that violent coup attempt.

Techie here. I maintain mamy computers for my family. Windows 11 works great for me. Nothing fundamentally wrong with it. You should ensure that at least your primary drive is an SSD.

The older I get, the more I realize how little I know. So here's a mediocre pic of a butterfly.

Maybe what we need in Missouri is Democrats that claim to be Republicans to run for all the major positions.

Was, "plagued", his word or Reuters? Cause a plague is a disease that kills a significant portion of the population. Whereas, for this drone stuff, I'm not aware of a single negative impact. So, the word doesn't really fit.

Pam Bondi, Trump's new AG nominee, took a $25,000 donation from Trump while she was reviewing allegations against Trump University in a class action lawsuit.
No action was taken against Trump or his university.

It’s absolutely bonkers that these people are still banging on about bathrooms. You won. You control everything. You’re going to have the worst government in American history, doing the stupidest possible nonsense, just as you dreamed. And yet it’s still just nonstop grievance from them. Good grief.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of β€œprotecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

Last time, Trump followed the reasonable advice for picking his cabinet. Those people reigned in Trump's worst impulses. This time, Trump is mostly filling his cabinet with B-list reality TV folks. Gonna be such a shit-show. But perhaps their incompetence will prevent them from doing too much harm.
