“The fraudsters complain the loudest” -Elon Musk

After weeks of recovery from the election and balancing my mental health, I’m still trying to wrap my head around the barrage of chaos following the inauguration. I have a real problem with Elon Musk inserting himself into government and underneath Trump’s wing. Let’s remember who our celebrity fraudsters are. Number One is Trump.

How many failed businesses was Trump involved in? Six bankruptcies were the result of over-leveraged hotel and casino businesses in Atlantic City and New York: Trump Taj Mahal (1991), Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (1992), Plaza Hotel (1992), Trump Castle Hotel and Casino (1992), Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts (2004), and Trump Entertainment Resorts (2009). Remember Trump University? https://theticker.org/15337/opinions/donald-trumps-failed-business-ventures-indicate-lack-of-economic-knowledge/ That was a $25 million dollar settlement due to the “university” seminars having little to do with educational content and served only to bilk attendees of money. Propaganda at the expense of the people and lining the pocket of a rich man.

Propaganda is skilled manipulation of content in today’s content-saturated culture. Given the chaos Musk instilled in his takeover of Twitter (now X) and the resulting financial losses as well as losses in Tesla I ask “how is this so-called successful businessman going to clean up our government waste?” I beg to ask how Musk is offering an altruistic government overhaul to the citizens of the United States.

Musk is in bed with Trump for his own personal gain. Contracts with the U.S. government for SpaceX is about $800 million. This business is flourishing with the help of Trump. Hmmm, any conflict of interest here? DOGE is also a scam and driven by propaganda to solicit bitcoin and meme stock to line Trump and Musks pockets. An official government website is yet to be constructed but there’s an up and running website named DOGEGOV.com. The unsuspecting follower and devotee might get confused. The above screenshot of Musk’s intermingling says to me-sales pitch of bitcoin and meme stock. Remember the introduction to Trump’s meme coin days prior to Inauguration? The message to me is “get ready America, buy into this and make me some

“Section 1.  Purpose.  This Executive Order establishes the Department of Government Efficiency to implement the President’s DOGE Agenda, by modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.”

Sec. 4.  Modernizing Federal Technology and Software to Maximize Efficiency and Productivity.  (a)  The USDS Administrator shall commence a Software Modernization Initiative to improve the quality and efficiency of government-wide software, network infrastructure, and information technology (IT) systems.  Among other things, the USDS Administrator shall work with Agency Heads to promote inter-operability between agency networks and systems, ensure data integrity, and facilitate responsible data collection and synchronization.

Has the government technology been a problem resulting in government waste? Has there been a problem between agency networks? Data integrity? What the heck is the DOGE agenda? I can’t seem to find any definitive and substantive information of this. Transparency my ass.

Excuse my increasingly growing paranoia but I smell a rat. DOGE seems to me to be a technological overhaul in order to setup and promote MAGA propaganda, control information and ultimately to potentially defraud the government. Let’s wait and see what bubbles up from the swamp in a couple years.

• They cheat the government out of money or property;
• They interfere or obstruct legitimate Government activity; or
• They make wrongful use of a governmental instrumentality.
