"The more I’ve read about Musk’s actions today, the more enraged I’ve become. He’s evil, he’s destroying the U.S., and in a dystopian novel there would be a teenage girl racing on a dragon to “Luigi” him as we speak…"
 
Elon Musk’s team has gotten access to the Treasury Department’s payments system.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave representatives of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency full access to the federal payment system late on Friday, according to three people familiar with the change, handing Elon Musk and the team he is leading a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

The new authority follows a standoff this week with a top Treasury official who had resisted allowing Mr. Musk’s lieutenants into the department’s payment system, which sends out money on behalf of the entire federal government. The official, a career civil servant named David Lebryk, was put on leave and then suddenly retired on Friday after the dispute, according to people familiar with his exit.

The system could give the Trump administration another mechanism to attempt to unilaterally restrict disbursement of money approved for specific purposes by Congress, a push that has faced legal roadblocks.

Mr. Musk, who has been given wide latitude by President Trump to find ways to slash government spending, has recently fixated on Treasury’s payment processes, criticizing the department in a social media post on Saturday for not rejecting more payments as fraudulent or improper.

It is not clear whether the team led by Mr. Musk, the world’s wealthiest man, has blocked any payments since gaining access to the system.

Musk Accidentally Takes Trump off Payroll
What happened to Trump not taking a paycheck? That says he's planning on using his payheck to send Barron to college. What? He couldn't afford to send his brat to college before?
 
I wish I knew what you folks were blathering about! :D
Let me summarize it for you.

- Musk bad.
- Anything supporting the narrative is good.
- The purpose of this thread is to inflate your ego by presenting things that support the narrative.

Don't worry if you don't have something new right now, just recycle old stuff and/or twist it until it fits. You're a skeptic, you have the skills!

If that's not your thing then what are you doing here?

Thanks, Elon! I knew you would guide me to the light!

The number of data points is overwhelming.

But I am eager to explain why Musk is doing a great job, actually, using only the best people.
 
Musk, imo, falls either on the side of too important or too insignificant to kill for the MAGAs.
But they gave Trump all their support and money, twice, so if he shafts them again, they won't give him a third-time's-the-charm.
