Trump is provably corrupt, so why should I give his accomplices the benefit of the doubt?
- adastra22 2y agoWell for one, they don’t come from Trump or Musk.
- throw16180339 2y agoThey're taking orders from bad actors, it's absurd to assume good faith.
- adastra22 2y agoWhy do you assume they are taking orders? This organization is not regimented.
- throw16180339 2y agoWhy would I assume otherwise? They aren't neutral observers from a trusted third party. Neither Musk nor Trump has a track record of honesty, and both have used their power for personal gain. A recent example is Musk moving NTSB announcements to Twitter. From what I can tell, the apparent purpose of DoGE is to benefit Trump and his allies financially, weaponize funding against opponents, and dismantle parts of the government they oppose. Musk’s preference for young engineers may stem from the same logic the military uses with young soldiers — they tend to be more obedient and less likely to push back.
