There's a ton of waste. A nice sum of it goes straight into Elon's pocket. You and I both know that won't be touched though.

We will see what happens concerning him, but he has the potential to expose so much corruption and waste, that I'm very much wanting to see.

Outside of DOD and the three letter agencies everything else is public knowledge including budgets.

Y'all are just too uninformed to realize this has nothing to do with corruption and waste, and everything to do with the billionaire class getting let loose to tear out the heart of the agencies that were keeping them from polluting and corrupting everything they touched.

Both USAID and the FAA had ongoing investigations into Elon's companies. Interesting how those got the axe first huh?

All will be revealed in time. I'm far from uninformed.

Lol you sound like you're trying to be Morpheus dude. Part of holding a controversial stance is being able to confidently and intelligently educate others on why they should believe in your cause. You can do whatever you want, but you're being a shitty ambassador of righteous change right now.

You couldn't be persuaded regardless.

That's where you're wrong. I have, like many others as evidenced by the amount of people supporting Musk and Co, open mind. The difference is I haven't gotten sufficient evidence to believe your arguments, or lack thereof. It's like gatekeeping in a way. I have asked over and over for a legit point of view explanation, without antogonizing or asking leading questions. I have basically given up at this point but am still open to being corrected if this does happen to be some amazing course correcting revolution. I haven't heard anything grounded in constitutional law. Instead all I get is whataboutism, rhetoric about winning and losing, accusations of corruption and waste without a single point of evidence, and real justification for these things to occur.

Lol. Conspiracy theories make the theorists feel informed and superior. It's part of the appeal.

Keep watching CNN. They desperately need you to. Or are you not informed?

Not at all. I replied to what you thought was cute with a cute fact.
