Herr Musk: DOGE is ‘What Democracy is All About’

Elon Musk on Tuesday defended his "Department of Government Efficiency" against critics, saying the unaccountable cost-slashing task force represents the will of American voters who elected President Donald Trump.

"That's what democracy is all about," said Musk, who contributed more than $250 million to getting Trump elected.

"Musk " the world's richest person and the leader of Tesla, X and SpaceX " also pushed back on concerns about whether his work in government creates conflicts of interest with his businesses, saying he is trying to be as transparent as possible.

"Transparency is what builds trust, not simply somebody asserting trust," Musk said.

Musk is serving under Trump as a "special government employee," a designation that does not require him to make his financial disclosure visible to the public, according to multiple news outlets."

Yeah, see, when you want real Transparency what you do is go around the legal way to do things and be sure you tag your Hitman with a title that allows him to do whatever he wants with no oversight at all by the Congress that created and controls and pays for the Agencies.

DJT and his favorite Nazi Oligarch have something in common; no one sees their corporate or personal tax returns. Not something we peons can do.

Of course, Musk now has copies of ours.
