Elon Musk should be nowhere near documents or the White House unless he gets confirmed by the Senate.
Discussion
he should be the first persom we put in that medieval device that locks your arms and head in and you get rotten tomatoes thrown at you
Yes. Let’s keep all government data as government secrets
I didn't say that, now did I?
First, nobody should trust a billionaire who is close to government, and now has tunnels, roads, space, and internet. But that's a different concern.
All government spending (well, 98% roughly) is public record. Anyone is free to send a FOIAA request and fight in court if need be. The govt routinely loses these types of cases even on sensitive documents.
The Treasury website has ungodly amounts of data so does the fed.
My concern is that he should not in any way be given access to said data in a preferential way vs American citizens unless he first becomes an employee or cabinet member, requiring confirmation and scrutiny.
As of right now, DOGE has special access and is not following the law of advisory committee disclosures and transparency. They are being sued currently.
I hope the suit wins.
Think of him as an unelected bureaucrat and the other unelected bureaucrats don't like competition
Except he isn't. That's the problem. He isn't an employee either procedures, document archiving, record preservation, etc..
He's just a dude who gave an insane amount of money to the president. That's incredibly gross.
Yeah, kind of like ambassadors and the like. Political allies get rewarded. In this case, its an autistic billionaire that has actually accomplished building revolutionary companies. Think of him as those Efficiency Experts from Office Space. Except he is working for free
Yes, and we should rail against him and all of them.
Elon is trying to find more ways he can gain government money, like always. Dude is the master of gov contracts.
He isn't trying to save money. Trump doesn't want to cut, he wants a strong global reserve dollar and people to like him.
This is an interesting read from the former head of the US digital service (DOGE predecessor)

You need a lightning wallet and address so I can zap you!
Try now
No route perhaps, won't go through. Is that a cashu address? Send me a cashu invoice for 500 sats. I'll try to pay. I have never paid that way, lol.
Hmm, yeah its just from my minibits wallet. Let me try to make an invoice. I had my WOS setup on another account I had.
