GAO Opened Investigation Into Elon Musk and DOGE

The GAO confirmed that it will pursue the request for an investigation made by Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) into how and why DOGE accessed the Treasury's payment system. "GAO's mission is to support Congress in carrying out its constitutional duties and GAO is a legislative branch agency. As the investigative arm of Congress, GAO examines how federal dollars are spent and how federal programs, policies, and operations work."

I'm betting it won't take long to find actual fraud and abuse.

Not that it will matter to the MAGA turds here.

The GAO is a congressional agency that the DOGE InCel cult can't stop for now.

Musk SNAPS After Getting CALLED OUT By An ASTRONAUT

www.youtube.com

this is pretty funny... you can skip the Hannity interview and go to 4 min in where Musk and the Astronaut get into it, and Musk runs away.

And the REAL reason Musk was upset about the astronauts being left in space... he didn't get 100 million to go get them.

I'd like them alive for trial and -if found guilty- life sentence at USP Florence ADMAX. In solitary.

Musky and Felonious Don...I'm open to more creative punishment.

Musk and Trump repeat false 'stranded' Starliner astronauts narrative, but they are not stranded
www.space.com

... Two of the most powerful people in the world continue to push the "stranded astronaut" narrative.

In a recent interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and President Trump were asked about the administration's plans for space, their commitment to landing astronauts on Mars, as well as their commitment to "rescue," as Hannity put it, the two "abandoned" astronauts. Trump and Musk agreed with that framing, doubling down on a false narrative about NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore's mission aboard the International Space Station.

"At the President's request," Musk tells Hannity, "we are accelerating the return of the astronauts, which was postponed kind of to a ridiculous degree," he said. "They got left in space," Trump added. But Williams and Wilmore did not get "left in space," as Trump and Musk have repeatedly maintained, and neither offered any evidence to support the claim of political interference. And the "stranded" part doesn't hold up to scrutiny, as NASA has long had a plan to bring the duo home " and it already involves SpaceX. ...

As musk correctly stated, they weren't rescued for political reasons.

Thanks for proving Musks point.

Remember back in the day when 1Lumper2 was a fake "open borders" liberal immigrant?

Now he's reverted back to a MAGA-humping, Lewzer defending refugee from the Nooner.

Fun times.

So lame.

Posting months-old links (#7, #12) to counter a link I posted (#10) that is only day or so old, and that effectively confirmed those old links it posted, @#10 ...and it already involves SpaceX. ...

Such a lame attempt for attention of that current alias.

Why does it seem to need such attention?

1Lumper loves to Gaslight.

Probably why he's so fond of accusing others of doing so.

For a very short period of time, he pretended to be a Chinese immigrant who was appalled by how racist Democrats are towards Asians.

You'll dance to anything

Oh, baby, look at you

How long'd it take to get that way
What a terrible waste of energy
You wear black clothes say you're poetic
The sad truth is you're just pathetic
