>I know people don't like Musk, I get it. But these are delusional takes. I am simply awe-struck at your cultish nonsense. I am a great software developer. I am an expert at complex AI systems. That doesn't make me a truck driver. It doesn't make me a heart surgeon. It doesn't make me a forensic auditor. It doesn't make me an architect or a packaging designer or a dietician or a beautician. I'm not insane or stupid enough to think my narrow expertise means I'm an expert at all things because I am intelligent enough to understand how incredibly stupid that would be. And yes, they have already, time and again, proven how incredibly incompetent they are. Just shocking, outrageous incompetence. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/upshot/doge-contracts-musk-trump.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/upshot/doge-contracts-mus... Ooops! What's a factor of 1000? https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/12/politics/some-of-the-things-that-i-say-will-be-incorrect-musk-backs-away-from-false-claim-of-usd50-million-for-gaza-condoms/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/12/politics/some-of-the-things-t... Ooops! Totally wrong part of the globe. But, you know, say something about condom bombs for the clucking masses of imbeciles. These clowns are idiots. They know nothing about forensic auditing (Musk's "gosh a payment description line isn't filled in therefore it's untrackable" is so outlandishly stupid that only absolute imbeciles buy this nonsense), and the fact that Musk was forced on PayPal or that he spends money on rockets or cars to justify his incredible overreach is...shockingly dumb. You had to have posted that in jest. You had to. Forensic auditing takes lots of time and effort and tracking and error checking and assurances. When this idiot rushes in and makes immediate proclamations, instantly he is discounted as a charlatan. Amazing that this actually works on some people.

Musk seems totally qualified to manage a team of programmers and a team of auditors based on his real-world experience managing companies that work in high tech and financial sectors. He seems infinitely more qualified than whatever political appointees were running federal departments. I don't think we've reached the 'forensic' auditing stage, we're at the 'gathering information' stage. We see the smoke, now we'll need to investigate for fires. Basic payment controls not being present seem like a huge red flag to me. Is Musk lying? Maybe. Are bureaucrats incompetent? Absolutely. Take the example payments to prohibited entities such as terrorists groups being rubber stamped. That's pretty damning if true. Two articles from left-wing Musk-hating media aren't going to be read by me because both of those institutions have a history of propaganda and outright lying.

Shows even hackers are prone to propaganda. It's a shame such ignorance is flaunted on full display in a forum about encouraging and exploring curiosity.
