And the rest of us have to work our a$$es off to pay taxes, while he sits on his and gets OUR hard-earned money.

Despicable! The whole damn US government!

The leftists have already proven they do not play by any rules.

If they get back in power they will just keep doing what they have already done—put a boot of the face of the public while calling us nasty names.

this is yet another example of how badly Dems screwed up.

This wouldn’t have happened had they just let Trump be President.

Now he has a team backing him that is going to root out what they have tried to hide. We need the whiz kids.

Go Get ‘Em, boys.

No federal government experience?

They're complaining about that as if that's a bad thing.

Now we get to the whiz kids hired by Elon: WIRED has identified six young men — all apparently between the ages of 19 and 24 ... who have little to no government experience and are now playing critical roles in Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project, tasked by executive order with 'modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.'

And the problem with him is??????

To a liberal, government is their church.

To them, this is like bringing in an atheist to replace the priest or preacher.

It’s heresy.......................

They aren’t accessing our data.

They are accessing what government did, so it is government’s data.

Most of the government employees who are writing all the regulations, messing up our lives and our industry, are also whizz kids right out of the school.
We have to follow their orders, and that’s OK, with media?!

It’s not like the deep state/uniparty hacks haven’t already had access to this info on an ongoing basis.

The “other team” has long had the ability to find whatever they want or need to look for regarding anyone’s financial data.

Yep. Just look at the multiple-authors listed on any national news story in the NYTimes. Then click the links to read their bios. Most of them are well short of 30, with an Ivy League degree. Maybe, 1 of the writers is a seasoned vet acting in the familiar role (to the others) as academic advisor for the class project. It’s disgusting. Most of them have barely lived in the real world for any length of time and they’re telling the rest of the world how to think.

How may NYTimes writers does it take to screw in a national news story?

I find it amusing that all of these libs (who have likely never worked in a corporation) are missing the point of what Elon is doing.

I worked in that realm for a while. When you go into a company—before talking to anyone—you do a data dump. The data tells you the story. People tell you “a” narrative. The narrative often lies to you!

For example, I worked in the CATV business. We found that 6% of our installs had been disconnected the day before. So, we just canceled the disconnect trip and did the install. It sounds simple—and it was. But it was a significant departure from what our software system drove. Over 50,000 truck trips at $50 each, we saved 3,000 in the first year. It took an hour of looking at the data and working with the software folks.

He is collecting data. The smart employees know this is going to uncover a bunch of stuff that has been happening since the “beginning of time.” This points in the direction of where things can be cut, reorganized, or streamlined (read automated.)

THAT part of the process is going to make the media, the libs, and the employees SCREAM. The phrase, “We’ve always done it that way” will become their rally cry.

The 2020 steal and all the lawfare since is really biting then in the arse now. They gave Trump four years to plan.

I wonder if those on that team are Elon’s employees.

5 out of the six sound like non-H1-B material.

I thought Americans were retarded and lazy.

Not long ago, “Wired” celebrated people like this, now it’s just a weak woke Popular Science wannabe.

And security clearances, with or without them, doesn't really mean a thing.

Data sleuthing can be fun. You find the biggest mark then follow it a little. When you do you see a pattern and start to follow other trails. What you discover can be amazing.

The link to Kristol appears to begin with the large amount from USAID to the Rockefeller foundation and then the 501 tax returns and annual reports of the foundation to Kristol and others. The influence diagram includes many other entities so somebody did a lot of digging and finding fast.

I did a similar thing starting at a couple of curious local and regional influencers and working backward as far as I could with public documents until I ran out of data or interest. When you see something with no visible means of support for their considerable actions you start looking for hidden wires.
