I bet if you audited the company cards and other discretionary perk-spending of the top brass (who are in Elon's orbit) at Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter, you'll find tons and tons of "inefficiency and waste" if not outright strip clubs and hookers type stuff.



The real waste is always produced by the folks who are exempt.


Yeah I find it odd that DOGE hasn't found any inefficiencies with SpaceX's and Tesla's contracts with the government.

It's almost like they don't really care about things being "efficient".


Yea, such an odd coincidence! I wonder how many parts of the government they'll declare as "inefficient" and "wasteful" where there's a corporate donor just licking their chops, waiting to swoop in and profit from the same work. That'll be such a goofy coincidence, too.


It sure will be, it's not like there's a streamlined way to directly and easily bribe the president with cryptocurrency or even just buying his a stock on an exchange, so I don't see any conflicts of interest at all.

It all seems above board and not depressing at all.
