As a purported small govt. conservative who constantly complains about govt. spending, are you unhappy that DOGE is cutting govt. waste? Or is anything associated with the hated one bad, in your book?

BTW, that's an interesting article. Short on facts and evidence, but I do like the part where the guys admits that yes, many dead people are likely still receiving social security benefits but that doesn't mean there is any evidence of widespread fraud.

It's delightful to see you freak out over criminals being exposed.
Don't mind me, I'm glad Mother Jones exposed them. I do see a lot of freaking out though...you're not wrong about that.

I am curious what you think Mother Jones exposed? The article essentially says Trump is allowed to have a consultant in "special government employee" role, and merely speculates that Musk may not be following the rules in place for same, without of course presenting any facts or evidence in support of such speculation.

BTW, I loved the opening line in the article you posted: "According to Elon Musk's posts on X, the social media platform he acquired through allegedly illegal tactics...." Yes, you know you are going to get a fair, balanced and non-partisan editorial when that's the way it begins.

I also love the article's frequent use of the words "appears," "believed" and "may." Oh, and of course, "allegedly." This is typically the telltale sign your article may be mere speculation and/or a hit piece. Do you regularly use Mother Jones as a source for your news? If so, that explains quite a bit.
