DOGE: the giant Con

[Notch7]

DOGE is out of order it is targeting the American pensioners you know those 12 million over 120 year old the 1000 aged between 220 and 229 not to mention the person listed as 360 year old on the social security database

That’s not true though

It’s made up bullshoite for ficko MAGAs sucking at the Koolaid teat

I note that Musk keeps talking about extensive fraud, but, thus far, has not provided a single example. He also, intentionally, gives the impression that US depts are not audited, which is not true.

In the case of USAID, he misrepresented DEI grants and lead people to believe that he had uncovered the payments. Each of those payments were already visible on the https://www.usaspending.gov/ site.

DOGE is just the propaganda front for Project 2025

DOGE is about sacking federal employees and swapping them for MAGA minions

Poor diyfunuk, poor thing has been taken in by the con

You don't half get yourself all worked up.

Chill baby, chill.

It’s fake news…..you’ve posted one of Musks made up tweets. Only a fick person would not bovver checking

DOGE workers don’t understand COBOL programming language


Any way the system has an automatic back stop that stops any payment for people over 115

No, 150-Year-Olds Aren't Collecting Social Security Benefits

Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud in the Social Security Administration. There's a much simpler explanation.

The computer system uses a base date of 1875. If no birth date is entered it defaults to 1875. In many of the cases the records of potential recipients require more than date of birth field, those fields not considered relevant are left blank- leading to a basic search suggesting that the potential recipient is extremely old.

Musk could provide evidence of those 12m having received payments. That he hasn't leads me to conclude that no such payments exist.

Regardless, each of the investigations into his businesses have been shuttered since he bought Trump. Do you think that a good thing?

But Musk has provided no evidence to back up his claims, and experts quickly pointed out that this is very likely just a quirk of the decades-old coding language that underpins the government payment systems.

Okay... please provide evidence of fraud that Musk has discovered.

Let's take the Musk claim that $50m had been spent on condoms in Gaza. The Whitehouse press agent, Leavitt, repeated that claim in her first Whitehouse press conference. Later in the day, the Whitehouse confirmed that no condoms had been purchased for Gazans. Shortly after, Trump repeated the lie, and, shortly after that he said it was $100m.

All politicians bend the truth. Trump and Team Trump, including Musk, knowingly lie, assumingly because they know that their followers will refuse to fact check their claims. And no, in no way am I defending the likes of Biden.

Edit- fact checkers have shown that Gazan males would have ended up with 1000 condoms each, and that includes male children and elderly males.

I do not understand why people want to be lied to simply because the rhetoric aligns with their political stance.
