The one thing this administration appears happy to outsource are human rights violations.

It speaks to their experience, of which they have none. They and Musk lack the competence to be doing what they’re engaged in.

No, none of them are qualified. Elon isn’t either.

Does Elon qualify as a foreign actor? He’s certainly malign.

I dunno, maybe get an undergrad degree in a related field? I don’t think working as a bike repairman qualifies you.

I’m not sure 19 year olds using gmail addresses are concerned with SOX.

I wouldn’t trust a 19 year old to do my taxes let alone audit all of federal spending.

Exactly — this isn’t good will. The only subsidies he cares about are his own. Though all involved don’t seem bright enough to realize that destabilizing the government, its finances and the perception of the dollar will have consequences for their own wealth.

How does this have anything to do with an erratic billionaire given free rein to illegally sabotage things?

It’s hard to pass an audit when unfettered access has been granted to a billionaire without access and cronies installing unauthorized software and strong arming everyone they encounter.

Yes, but the GOP senate and house members are unwavering sycophants. The Supreme Court has also been stacked.

Of course not. They’re wreaking having based on Elon’s whims. Much like when he drove Twitter into the ground.

Elon and his inexperienced cronies are the last people who should be trusted with any government access. They don’t even have clearance.
