Care to ask any questions about the specifics? I can explain if you'd like. Or are you happy with your assertions and presumptions?

So, now anonymous commenters on Substack have to become interested and give the money or something?

If it's a good idea, get investors to fund it, get a loan from a bank against your assets. If it's a nonprofit, collect donations. Bootstrap it working hard with no pay for months. Business owners and investors are the ones taking the risk, not taxpayers. This insane level of entitlement suggests that the government money spigot has to be turned off.

Everyone is against fraud and waste. I have no doubt there is fraud and waste. But is a non elected, billionaire with major conflicts of interest and everything to gain the right person for the job. I don't think so. Not to mention his "team" making a lot of mistakes that cost people their jobs and livelihood. Imagine if Obama appointed Soros to the same sort of position? I Imagine the DOGE crowd singing a different tune entirely. Also, where is the evidence that someone/people are funding vandalism against Tesla? These crimes are a major problem, but Elon is an impossible lier who doesn't take accountability for is words or actions. He's playing the billionaire victim card. It's laughable bc there's no way what he says and does can lead to people making choices to sell or not buy his products

An education professional who can't spell LIAR, and doesn't bother to use a spell checker? I rest my case. Your dem talking points need some adjustments. There are tens of thousands on non-elected individuals running a corrupt bureaucracy.

Obama hired the Emmanuels as advisors to Health care. Now health care sucks.

Lol. Obama hasn't been in power since 2016. We have a kelptocratic reality TV show president who craves power, chaos, disdain for balance of power and total loyalty for everyone around him or else. No other president in the history of this great country has disrespected and conned the the United States and its people like this greedy, orange orangutan. Him and his billionaire side kick think the federal govt should be run like a business...if you don't see the tragedy and danger in that, you've been captured. Captured thinking trumps cares about his base...which are majority poor, rural people. It laughable and shameful. All he cares about is getting a tiny hard on by rawlings up crowds of people that are low information voters. Would you be trumps friend? Would you allow you lr wife, sister, mother in the same room with him for hours? Would you create a meme coin to profits billions as a president? Would you lie about the most petty, shallow things 100s of times a day just to flood the news cycle? 🤔

Too much imagining. Would you care to specify how much he's gaining from an unpaid job? How much are his volunteers gaining? Yes, this monstrosity of the system is so cluttered, a handful of volunteers have to search by keywords and make mistakes. Should he hire a departmentful and give everybody and himself a nice salary? Then it will take forever to do the actual job.

To be fair, they now do hire salaried professionals such as software engineers, data scientists and lawyers on their site (initially they were looking for volunteers). Long hours, work in office in DC, US citizens only.
