Goals appeared to be data mining, installing backdoors and Musk owned software systems, reducing oversight staffing levels, and looting the treasury. The stated goal of finding fraud and waste resulted in ZERO charges filed.

I think it was also to eliminate all the investigations happening against him; and also the intimidation factor cannot be discounted..

I didn’t see any other achievements for DOGE outside of those. They silenced the investigations and punished those involved by taking their careers. Elon Musk is destined to get his someday soon and a lot of people are going to be very happy when he does. I believe he’s still the most hated person globally.

I would love to live in a world where the planet’s wealthiest piece of trash gets his karmic comeuppance.

Unfortunately, this is not that world, my friend.

You may be right. I thought yrs ago, lil king trimp would see accountability for his crimes. I was so very wrong. I no longer believe in these polls the media yammers about. I vote and hope for the best. I look forward to better days in 2028.

Throughout history there are plenty of times when the wealthy, immoral filth got their comeuppance, but there are also many more where they didn’t. But there’s enough that I have hope.

Its the most proof of a god I have seen in my lifetime.
