There are probably "Luigi Mangiones" out there unhappy with Felon Musk's nefarious Geek Squad.

Even you don't believe that.

Or maybe you really are that goddammed stupid.

It's not merely shadenfreude to hope that you suffer along with those that you hope will suffer.

It's pretty clear that only real and intense pain will teach you and you people anything.

I wonder, if Musk started with auditing the Pentagon for fraud, waste and abuse, whether the dems would be demanding he stop. IMO there would't be a dem whisper as that would not affect their 'pet' programs/agendas/slush funds. etc.

ADDENDUM: Want to see all Congress up in arms? Well I hope he looks onto the slush fund that pays out to protect members from being charged with sexual impropriety.

Congress paid out $17 million in settlements. Here's why we know so little about that money

Shut up you stupid f*&^. You couldn't name a single instance of fraud/money laundering if you had to.

You're just mouthing words you've been told to mouth because you're a moron.

I would. Not because I don't think it should happen, but because an unvetted, unelected, unqualified idiot like Musk who clearly has zero legal authority to do it shouldn't be doing it.

That's what IGs were for. That's what the budget office should be for. Not a turd like Musk.

He's not doing the audits, he just there "legally, with authority" to find out why they can't happen which is in perfect alignment with the agency Obama setup. Providing consultation services to federal agencies on information technology. TechFAR Handbook, 2015 on federal contracting and procurement.

What Musk find is that currently outgoing government payments don't need to have a payment categorization code. This is frequently left blank.

The US government doesn't even know if it's getting double billed.
