I know it's like screaming into the void when there's a 1000+ comments but... You remember the end of Gatsby where Nick turns up at the mansion and some sinister characters have the run of the place and you-know-who is floating in the pool out back... This is what the US looks like right now. Party's over, no guests ever again. Crims have moved in instead.

People mentioned Elon's DOGE team is about 200 people including lawyers and accountants. I am guessing the focus on the 6 youngsters is mainly because here's a bunch of former Deloitte lawyers/accountants is not a newsworthy thing to focus on especially if your angle is to discredit the effort.
Just look in this thread for how many posters here are 100% certain that irreparable damage is being done - because they want to feel mad. There is no proof of anything bad. Regardless how many people want that to be false, oddly. So I guess tough to not think that the worldwide media that has been receiving government money would be mad and willing to focus on ”a handful of 20 year olds” as a means to discredit. Wha…
The question no one asking is why Elon is sending a team of teenage programmers and not a team of financial auditors if he really wanted to cut government spending?
Why isn't all government budgetary information public to begin with?
Much of it is! Journalists are already using it to debunk some of Elon’s claims like the one they only 10% of USAID reached intended targets (which appears to be based on his complete misreading of a breakdown) The real question now is where is DOGE’s evidence of all of this corruption? There are massive claims of rampant corruption, such as calling the USAID corrupt to their core, but literally zero evidenced has be…

This lot has amassed a very large amount of political power and is part of the same group that's currently deconstructing the very mechanisms that were used to capture and imprison YOUR lot
Yes. But will they dismantle enough to beat the courts? Musk might, but I feel these kids will be thrown under the bus in the long term.

Easy: this is political retribution. USAID: 0.6% of the budget CFPB: 0.011% of the budget It has nothing to do with saving money and is well beyond the executive order than instantiated the agency. If all they do is disrupt things enough for some crypto dorks and Russians to make a play it was all worth it.
USAID was the most resistant to an audit which is why they’re getting scrutinized early. Trump literally said today on an interview aired before the superbowl that a department of defense audit is coming up and he expects it to turn up billions to hundreds of billions in waste.

The Com is just a general term for crime communities on the Internet. Its not a specific group. The Com includes groups that commit crimes stretching from cybercrime to literally the worst crimes you can think of and the vast majority of this is done on Discord and Telegram. You can go down a really dark rabbit hole if you really dig deep into some of these groups within The Com. This is where the worst of the worst…
no it isn't. What a blind take. As someone who has ventured down these forums when I was younger. Its a mix of gamers/programmers/online hustlers. Some of it is grey area, some if it is renting out RDP's/VPNS for malicious users acting as middlemen for the criminals. The mob mentality of rule following software engineers on here who are throwing out the accusation that these are all hardened criminals that want to bu…

Can anyone recommend a journalist who is reporting the facts of what’s happening on this subject? From what I can tell, it’s widely been reported that - Elon Musk was allowed into the Department of Education - “Big Balls” accessed Treasury computers - etc… But I have not been able to find any first person testimony that confirms those statements. From what I can tell Tom Krause is actually the one who was given acces…
Ordering them to delete everything they got copies of, and the subsequent frustration from Musk.
Why cares who personally violated federal law? However he managed to, Musk got unlawful access to restricted data.
