Palace intrigue stuff. I doubt this will done at all, but rather be used as a leash by the administration and anti-Musk contingent of the Trump court courtiers to threaten Musk if they think he's getting out of line. Standard king stuff.

🧐 I wonder why trump isn’t worrying about losing his own money? Along with most republican senators & representatives?? Did he dump his investments in the markets? Is bitcoin unaffected by tariffs? Did he share this with his chosen slaves in Congress (ie: insider trading)? Who else was tipped off?

Idea: Dems should say that if it is found that any of these employees broke the law, they will be considered “the worst of the worst” and sent to South American gulags when Dems take power again. Let’s up the ante and show two can play this game.

Yes that’s exactly the concern. Hard to do work without an operating budget. If that happens I want the big four accounting firm to start a fund we can contribute to for that! 😆

Rules don't matter to them & we need to act like they don't. They will push & push & push till we're dead, WAKE THE FUCK UP. This isn't a fucking fantasy anymore, we're next. We need act like survivalists. Get a gun & defend yourself from these home invaders. bsky.app/profile/outo...

Do people not see them actively working to deport/execute anyone they deem an issue? Are people really OK with being dragged to the gulag to disappear? People are dying & more will unless we get off our asses. What are you waiting for? They will kill you if you don't.

DOGE’S PENTAGON BUDGET CUTS DON’T TOUCH ELON MUSK’S SPACEX Defense Sec DUI Hegseth boasts he’s nixing contracts & grants amid DOGE’s cost-cutting campaign. But those trims won’t hit SpaceX. theintercept.com/2025/04/03/d...

theintercept.comDOGE’s Pentagon Budget Cuts Don’t Touch Elon Musk’s SpaceXDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth boasts he’s nixing contracts and grants amid DOGE’s cost-cutting campaign. But those trims won’t hit SpaceX.

The audit, which is being carried out in response to congressional leaders’ requests, is broadly centered on DOGE’s adherence to privacy and data protection laws and regulations. A Congressional aide said the requests followed media reports on DOGE’s incursions into federal systems.

wired.comElon Musk's DOGE Is Getting AuditedThe General Accountability Office's audit examines DOGE’s handling of data at a number of federal agencies, according to sources and records reviewed by WIRED.

The only question I want answered is where are the investigations? If this so-called DOGE department has uncovered all this fraud and abuse, why has no-one been arrested, investigated, outed or made to pay the money back? There are people dying because of DOGE cuts. There had better be receipts.

Since DOGE was never even officially created -why hasn't Schumer... Jeffries etal convene a public hearing to determine its actual legality? The person who has been publicly named as it's head has provided contradictory information as to her official job title

Wasn’t there someone from Congress also calling on the department heads to investigate the list of potential conflicts of interest related to Elon’s businesses government contracts?

In case it's not clear to whomever: I'm expressing a cynical disbelief it will lead to anything real, not sniping at Wired. Wired is one of the few orgs that's risen to the moment. Throw em some bucks.

Trump will just fire the auditors. Sure, he has no authority to do so, but what would he lose by telling them they're fired, send in US Marshalls to forcibly remove them and then watch it go through the courts? If a judge issues an injunction it's just more meat for the "unfair judges" idiots.

When the federal judge specifically TOLD doge gang not to obtain or retain any personal private data from citizens, and to stay out of certain areas of the servers. doge gang then got access anyways through the VA & login.gov site to gain access anyway, circumventing the federal judges orders. .
