Yeah, you gotta watch those crooks who are worth over $400 billion.

Do you even have a clue that they only got "read only" access?

You say the dumbest damn things.

What does read only access have to do with anything? They can copy that data and use it in the future for a whole lot of stuff.

I don't know that Musk is a bad guy, but giving a government contractor that much access to all of the government's data is definitely a red flag to me.

And he's not just A government contractor, he's one of...if not the...biggest one.

I have read only access to a ton of stuff that I could trade on or sink my company so not really sure your point. IT just means I can't edit, delete or add to the data that already exists.

Ouch. That'll leave a mark...LOL

no mark, just explaining what it is. Hell, we have an Oracle system with that access.

Ours is the same.

So much stupidity in this thread. Its exhausting

Ok, I was wrong about read only. When I worked there in the 80s, we had read only access, and were told we couldn't print out anything. We assumed we couldn't do it, and we had no reason to try. Never had that situation again, which was 40 years ago.

So back to the real issue. Get back to me when you find actual proof that the guys who volunteered to work for free 18/7 until further notice to help out the country, get caught stealing anything.

That's a strange response, but I'm not surprised that it's your response as it fits you. I've never thought of what the mindless, ducks-in-a-row followers of the Democratic Party (AKA - the cult) do, or the damage they have done to our country, as being funny.

I imagine the folks at Jonestown didn't know they were in a cult either.

Good thing you weren't in Jonestown then, huh.

Why would an intelligent guy worth 400 billion take on a project that would obviously negatively impact his business… Tesla stock predictably dropped 50% as a result of his role in Doge & the Trump campaign… unless there was something in it for him? People worth billions aren’t motivated by money & power? Elon & his team were granted unfettered access data never previously granted to private citizens; and Elon was willing to take predictable losses to take this on… why? And now, less than 6 months into this monumental undertaking, he’s done? Surely, you’re not such an imbecile to believe he was taking this on altruistically.

Tesla stock is higher now than before the election. it is up over 100% in the past year. But morons gonna moron.

Tesla was trading at $424 on January 20th. On January 21st, it was announced Elon would be leading Doge the stock price started a downward spiral. By March, the price was down to $222. It wasn’t until he announced he was leaving DOGE that the Tesla stock started to rebound, but even then it has not fully recovered and is trading in the 360 range.

The run up in Tesla stock during the end of 2024 into 2025 was partly due to Bill Gates having to purchase the stock to cover his short positions.

Gates shorted about 10million shares of Tesla for a $250 price with the contract date at the end of 2024. Heading into late October, Gates was looking pretty good, as Telsa was hovering around 200-220. Then on October 23rd, 2024, Tesla reported earnings that beat estimates, and the stock surged to about 260. Now Gates was screwed, as he had to start accumulating 10million shares of Tesla stock. And by doing this right after a really great quarter from Tesla, the stock price took off and hit about 460. All in all, Gates lost about $1.5billion on his short.

Why are all leftists just so stupid????

It's kind of a requirement in order for them to be a leftist. If they weren't stupid, they wouldn't have any desire to support all of the corruption, fraud, and destructive policies that defines the modern-day Democratic Party. Even their leaders - AOC, Omar, Shiff, Hirono, Jefferies, Schumer, etc. - are all at least 9 yards shy of a first down.

How many people supposedly worked for "free" with no method of compensation? Wasn't it reported that DOGE spent a fair amount of money?

Quote:The spreadsheet shows that 12 of the OPM hires who worked with DOGE received the title of “Expert.” That’s a specific designation by OPM that determines an employee’s rate of pay. Based on OPM’s formula, experts can earn as much as $190,000 a year. The Senior Executive Service hires are paid between $150,000 and $225,000. Employees who are designated as GS-15 on the government’s general services pay scale and work in Washington, DC earn between $167,000 and $195,000. Gavin Kliger, the well-known DOGE leader, falls into that latter category. (Kliger is one of the few DOGE-related hires who has a supervisory or managerial position.)

Here Are the Job Titles and Salary Ranges of Some DOGE Staffers

It was announced in the beginning that the ones who originally volunteered did so for free. But when they got up above 100 employees, no, they werent all working for free.

Elon Musk has obtained your bank account password.

He's going to swipe the $65 in your account.

Has Elon stolen all your money yet?

Have the oligarchs sent you to a gulag yet??

Elon was gonna hide all the money he stole in those 18 wheelers that would be parked due to the tariffs

Weird, if true.

Elon is weird… regardless.

You guys loved Elon until a year ago.
