Will Musk find "hundreds of billions of fraud and abuse"?

[Danzigdawson]

Apparently, Trump expects legendary f*ckface Musk to find "hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud" at the Pentagon. The unelected nazi enthusiast has been tasked to investigate the spending within the military and the department of education, amongst other things. He and his crack team of 17 year-old incel, Trump Youth members are ready to resume the most likely illegal task of dismantling entire government agencies without congressional approval, provided that they manage to bypass court orders in one way or another.

Will he find what he's looking for?

Yes

No

[DrPepper12]

He's MAGA. Hell deny the truth, claim he vanquished "woke" and the marks will still send Trump money so they can say "TY sir may I have another?"

[DryGermanGuy]

In the words of Max Goldman, he couldn’t catch crabs from a ten-dollar hooker.

[exitseven]

Yes, he has already found 20 billion in just one agency and a few billion looking over some government contracts. There are thousands of government agencies and many are just created to give family members of democrat insiders a 6 figure job with a nice pension at the end. Many of them "work from home".
He is ramping up his staff and is going to look at the Pentagon next. Trump is right when he said there are hundreds of billions of waste and corruption at the Pentagon.
The question we should all be asking is why are the democrats so against this. ?

[DryGermanGuy]

Let's not forget the imaginary 50-100 million dollars for sending condoms to Hamas!

[exitseven]

@DryGermanGuy I heard that they were using the condoms to fill up with helium and float bombs into Israel.

America produces around 10 billion pennies per year. 10 billion pennies is worth $100 million. but unfortunately it cost two cents to create a single penny. So every year we lose 100 million dollars to create our pennies. So Trump announced we aren't making any more pennies.

Why didn't Joe Biden think about that?

[dustybiker2]

What are they attempting to fund is my question? Laser space weapons?
Step back and find the whole picture...

[Evidently1]

Honestly, I don't trust anyone in the government to do what's right, so even if Elon finds the money laundering from the government, he could very likely spin it around and do something even worse with it.

[Snakeyes7]

Wasn't the last time the pentagon was audited was the day before 9/11 and they found that they were "unable to track" $2.3T in transactions?

If Musk looks hard enough, I think he'd find more than just hundreds of billions.

[dragoblack]

If he actually uses accountants instead of computer programming kids with 0 accounting experience. But he still has yet to get congressional approval. Everything Elon announced so far is public info

[Snakeyes7]

@dragoblack Yet somehow these kids with 0 accounting experience are somehow better able to find waste than actual accountants who have been working there for decades.

That should really tell you something.

[Danzigdawson]

@Snakeyes7 It tells us that you trust kids with 0 accounting experience.

[Snakeyes7]

I trust them far more than bureaucrats.

[dragoblack]

Accountants are not bureaucrats. Also its been discovered there is no longer any security measures protecting the code because of them. Meaning anyone can just go in and wipe the entire system, hack into the treasury, or even write a line of code that can divert all usa funding to a singular account.
So yes, their uneducated incompetence fucked the usa bigtime

[Snakeyes7]

@dragoblack These accountants were working for the bureaucrats.

That second part sounds like something that was already present and must be how a bunch of random kids got in. It reminds me of when the government forced tech companies to put backdoor so they can spy on people and, surprise surprise, foreign adversaries used it too!

Who could have possibly seen this coming?

[Snakeyes7]

*backdoor on their hardware

[Miristheiss]

How much, I do not know but that isn't the point. Finding and getting rid of any waste and corruption with our hard earned tax money is the right thing.

[Syntosi]

Most notably they have not offered a single recommendation for cutting the budget so far. In other words, they have mostly just been making a mess of things for the sake of it.

[Dongie]

I'm sure it'll be near a trillion or more after the Musk is finished. The corruption of the left is legendary.

[Danzigdawson]

@dongie Multiply that amount tenfold and start hyperventilating Dongie. Whatever amount he comes up with, it will be huge and scary.

[Dongie]

Stick your head up your ass dawson.

[AviatorTom]

Along with fraud and abuse, lots and lots of unnecessary inefficiencies will be found.

[FunkyMonkee]

Sounds to me like he already did and has only been at it a few days.

[Staximus]

It's time for a government audit. The Pentagon was paying $700 each for hammers and toilet seats before your dumb commie ass was even born

[Danzigdawson]

@staximus Fuck yeah!! What you need is a corrupt con man who's been convicted of fraud and profited from international business dealings during his first term as a president. Plus, his own father was accused of profiteering by the federal government long before your repressed-homosexual ass was even born!

Or maybe you need an unskilled, immature South African billionaire whose companies have benefited from substantial contracts from the military?

[Staximus]

You really are a special kind of stupid, aren't you

[you_asked]

Already has
Quit watching CNN

[you_asked]

Think trillions
