Was he elected? What's being argued here?

For example, Musk bragged that he spent last weekend “feeding USAID into the wood chipper.” That came a day after he posted, “USAID is a criminal organization. Time for it to die.” What Musk failed to mention is that these comments come months after the agency announced a probe of his company Starlink’s terminals, according to pages that still remain on the agency’s website, as reported on by The Lever..."

Here's one conflict of interest that was a 5 second Google. The link has more to choose from if you read it and dare to discuss.
But you guys are pussies and will go back to your memes.

You couldn't drag us away.
Nothing. It's already been argued. You missed in that Pennsylvania berry patch and Trump proceeded to whip the dog out of Harris came November.
So, you don't know of a conflict of interest.
I do.
So does he.

just curious, why does El0n need black hat hackers for DOGE?
https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/polit...nvs/index.htmlLess than three years before Elon Musk tapped him to take part in a sweeping overhaul of the US government, Edward Coristine, then 17, was the subject of a heated dispute between two executives at the Arizona-based cybersecurity firm where he was an intern.
At issue was whether to allow Coristine to keep his job even though he was suspected of leaking proprietary information to a compe or.
“You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old?” one frustrated executive asked the company’s CEO in 2022. “Are you for real right now?”
In a recording of the call, reviewed by CNN, Marshal Webb, the CEO of Path Network, a company that offers services to protect businesses from cyberattacks, defended his decision.
He said he wanted to allow Coristine to continue with his internship, in part, because he didn’t want to make him “an enemy” or have him “running amok” with information he was suspected of taking. Webb allowed him to stay with the proviso that the young employee “not be exposed to anything that’s really sensitive.”
people saying "why would Musk want your social security?!" as if it's impossible to be leaked to bad actors, either as a form of holding the government hostage later or by his teenaged hackers to gain immense amounts of wealth from foreign bad actors.
It's really just a joke defending Trump and Musk now. It's completely indefensible, unquestionably, provably. You hate America and Americans and love hackers and foreign all-but-enemies if you disagree.
Conspiracies only matter when it's the other team
You know social security was already hacked right?

do you have a point, or is this more handwaving?
All your tax records too?
Yeah, that was satire.
It wasn't real.
Do you think it was real?
Oh well then might as well let Musk cronies walk right in and take what they want
Bill Clinton reduced the Federal workforce by 377,000 employee’s and fired all of the US attorneys. All of Joe Biden’s job and inflation numbers had to be revised.

Every president always fires every USDA if they don't resign.
On Saturday night El0n sent out an email (apparently) to the whole of government telling recipients to bullet point their own performance and copy supervisors, and that failure to respond would be treated as a voluntary resignation.
Outside of OPM and DOJ, it's being treated like spam.
This week internal cracks in the Trump administration have become visible
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog...ously-sidewaysOver the course of the evening top leadership at the FBI, the State Department, the VA, the Department of the Navy (to its civilian employees) and other parts of the government have explicitly instructed employees in their departments and agencies to ignore the email. Meanwhile the DOJ seems to be instructing its employees to follow it. (And yes, FBI is sort of under DOJ and that’s kind of weird but that’s where we are.)
It’s important to note that these emails are authorized or allowed if not directed by the President of the United States. And yet whole wings of the government are saying to ignore it. I mentioned to someone this evening that they’re treating a presidentially authorized email as some kind of insider threat. And this person says, we’re surprised that Trump is an insider threat? To which I said, yes, I’m surprised that his own appointees are doing so.
This is all a bit comical and also manages to be a certain degree of state disintegration we’re watching in real time. But it also seems clear that Musk has gotten a bit over his skis finally. We’ve been in this world of upside where a lone wolf is on a wilding spree through the federal government, clear not operating at anyone’s direction but his own. And yet the President is at least okaying it all after the fact. And thus our system can’t really makes sense of what’s happening. Yes, it’s almost all illegal even or in a sense especially if the President is authorizing it. But it’s also pretty clear that the elected President is in the backseat of this car if he’s in the car at all.
But here you have seemingly the first time where his own appointees are pushing back and in a fairly public way.
