- mc32 2y agoSo why can’t they pass an audit?
- fzeroracer 2y agoWhy would you trust the man who's been heavily subsidized by the government to do an audit? A significant chunk of Elon Musk's money came from government contracts his companies had with the US government.
- cdme 2y agoExactly — this isn’t good will. The only subsidies he cares about are his own. Though all involved don’t seem bright enough to realize that destabilizing the government, its finances and the perception of the dollar will have consequences for their own wealth.
- blurbleblurble 2y agoThey may be all in on various cryptocurrencies at this point.
- cdme 2y agoIt’s hard to pass an audit when unfettered access has been granted to a billionaire without access and cronies installing unauthorized software and strong arming everyone they encounter.
- mc32 2y agoYou know they had many years before to pass one…
- cdme 2y agoHow does this have anything to do with an erratic billionaire given free rein to illegally sabotage things?

- dgfitz 2y agoJanuary 6th was an attempted failed coup. No doubt. Failed coup. The events of the past few weeks are not even in the same hemisphere as a coup, by definition of the word. Who is trolling whom, exactly?
- skepticATX 2y agoI think you're specifically referring to the Pentagon. I'd like to see Elon attempt to force his way into that building next.
- hamburga 2y agoAre you kidding? Hegseth will roll out the red carpet.
- freeone3000 2y ago“Pass” as in “conduct one”? Because that’s a huge massive expensive undertaking that has very little upside and a lot of downside.
- sjm-lbm 2y agoFWIW, you're thinking about the DoD/the Pentagon, not the federal government as whole - and yeah, the Pentagon hasn't been able to pass an audit in ~6 years. The defense budget is somewhat more opaque, though, for national security reasons. I don't know if they are good reasons or not, but that's the story at least.
