Elon Musk is NOT a public official

[Politruk]

He has been granted no authority by Congress, and the president does not have the authority to grant it. This DOGE has no legal existence or authority.

"We don't need no stinkin' badges!"

I don't care, he's kicking ass and tossing out $600 hammers. I know what ever side libtards take is the hands down wrong side.

He hasn't found any yet. All those stories about USAID are bullshit, easily debunked already.

Doesn’t need to be granted anything, he is serving as an appointed official of a. NOn cabinet level executive branch agency…it’s hilarious this fraud waste and abuse is the chosen hill to die on

 

[ChinoMoreno]

Neither are his little homies.

It would be different if that was all he was doing.

Bless the Democrats for this gracious gift. Love their new branding.

 

[Politruk]

He hasn't found any fraud, waste or abuse yet, either.

Jaysus, I haven't heard "$600 hammers" since the first year of the Clinton administration.

You had to dig pretty goddamned deep into your outrage bag for that one, boomer.

So has USAID not been zapped? It's a serious question. I heard all employees had been sent home. Is that fake noos?

Who the hell’s alts are these noobs coming out of the woodwork and barking?

Musk hasn’t had time to drill down and be surgical about getting rid of bloat. But those who applaud him getting rid of bloat and excess are correct since taking a scorched earth approach does that as well as killing every good thing an agency does not to mention actually harming real people.

Exactly.

No one is dying on that hill. Nice try.

It's complicated.

In 2025, the second Trump administration announced sweeping changes to USAID. President Donald Trump ordered a near-total freeze on all foreign aid.[5][6] Elon Musk, who has been carrying out Trump's cost-cutting agenda, announced the intention of shutting down USAID.[7] The New York Times reported that nearly all USAID employees had been laid off.[8] A lawsuit was then filed by the American Foreign Service Association and the American Federation of Government Employees in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, requesting a preliminary injunction against the administration and that all recent actions related to its attempted disbandment be reversed, due to "unconstitutional and illegal" actions.[9][10][11] U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols issued a temporary restraining order on February 7, pausing the plan to put USAID employees on leave and the accelerated removal of people from their posts abroad. These employees are still locked out and unable to return to their jobs as of February 9.[12]

He has yet to identify any.

The GOP is embracing billionaires’ control of government. Payola politics.
