Elon Musk Explains DOGE’s Work in Oval Office Address: ‘There’s a Limestone Mine!’

Trump things that your ░░░░░░░░ has found some of ░░░░░░░░ crazy numbers including the ░░░░░░░░ that walked away with ░░░░░░░░ 30 million etc Musk ░░░░░░░░ Well we do find ░░░░░░░░ sort of rather odd ░░░░░░░░ you know there are ░░░░░░░░ a few people in ░░░░░░░░ here who have ostensibly ░░░░░░░░ salary of a few ░░░░░░░░ thousand dollars but somehow ░░░░░░░░ to accrue tens of ░░░░░░░░ of dollars in net ░░░░░░░░ while they are in ░░░░░░░░ position which is you ░░░░░░░░ what happened to USAID ░░░░░░░░ we re just curious ░░░░░░░░ to where it came ░░░░░░░░ Maybe they are very ░░░░░░░░ at investing in which ░░░░░░░░ we should take their ░░░░░░░░ advice perhaps But it ░░░░░░░░ seems to be mysteriously ░░░░░░░░ they get wealthy We ░░░░░░░░ t know why Where ░░░░░░░░ it come from And ░░░░░░░░ think the reality is ░░░░░░░░ they re getting wealthy ░░░░░░░░ taxpayer expense That s ░░░░░░░░ honest truth of it ░░░░░░░░ you know we re ░░░░░░░░ at say well just ░░░░░░░░ you look at say ░░░░░░░░ for example basic controls ░░░░░░░░ should be in place ░░░░░░░░ are in place in ░░░░░░░░ company such as making ░░░░░░░░ that any given payment ░░░░░░░░ a payment categorization code ░░░░░░░░ there is a comment ░░░░░░░░ that describes the payment ░░░░░░░░ that if a payment ░░░░░░░░ on the do not ░░░░░░░░ list that you don ░░░░░░░░ actually pay it None ░░░░░░░░ those things are true ░░░░░░░░ So the reason that ░░░░░░░░ can t pass audits ░░░░░░░░ because the payments don ░░░░░░░░ have a categorization code ░░░░░░░░ s like just a ░░░░░░░░ number of blank checks ░░░░░░░░ plain not moving So ░░░░░░░░ can t reconcile blank ░░░░░░░░ You ve got comment ░░░░░░░░ that are also blanks ░░░░░░░░ you don t know ░░░░░░░░ the payment was made ░░░░░░░░ then we ve got ░░░░░░░░ truly absurd a do ░░░░░░░░ pay list which can ░░░░░░░░ up to a year ░░░░░░░░ an organization to get ░░░░░░░░ a do not pay ░░░░░░░░ And this we re ░░░░░░░░ about terrorist organizations We ░░░░░░░░ talking about known fraudsters ░░░░░░░░ aspects of waste Known ░░░░░░░░ that do not match ░░░░░░░░ congressional appropriation can take ░░░░░░░░ to a year to ░░░░░░░░ on the list And ░░░░░░░░ once on the list ░░░░░░░░ list is not used ░░░░░░░░ s mind blowing So ░░░░░░░░ we re talking about ░░░░░░░░ we re really just ░░░░░░░░ about adding common sense ░░░░░░░░ that should be present ░░░░░░░░ haven t been present ░░░░░░░░ you say like well ░░░░░░░░ could such a thing ░░░░░░░░ That seems that seems ░░░░░░░░ that when you understand ░░░░░░░░ that really everything is ░░░░░░░░ towards complaint minimization So ░░░░░░░░ you understand the motivations ░░░░░░░░ if people receive money ░░░░░░░░ don t complain obviously ░░░░░░░░ if people don t ░░░░░░░░ money they do complain ░░░░░░░░ the fraudsters complain the ░░░░░░░░ and the fastest So ░░░░░░░░ when you understand that ░░░░░░░░ it makes sense That ░░░░░░░░ why everything just they ░░░░░░░░ all the payments at ░░░░░░░░ Because if you approve ░░░░░░░░ the payments you know ░░░░░░░░ don t get complaints ░░░░░░░░ now now we re ░░░░░░░░ that no actually we ░░░░░░░░ going to complain if ░░░░░░░░ is spent badly If ░░░░░░░░ taxpayer dollars are not ░░░░░░░░ in a sensible and ░░░░░░░░ manner then that s ░░░░░░░░ okay Your tax dollars ░░░░░░░░ to be spent wisely ░░░░░░░░ the things that matter ░░░░░░░░ the people I mean ░░░░░░░░ things like it s ░░░░░░░░ common sense It s ░░░░░░░░ it s not draconian ░░░░░░░░ radical I think It ░░░░░░░░ really just saying let ░░░░░░░░ look at each of ░░░░░░░░ expenditures and say is ░░░░░░░░ actually in the best ░░░░░░░░ of the people And ░░░░░░░░ it is it s ░░░░░░░░ If it s not ░░░░░░░░ should think about it ░░░░░░░░ you know there s ░░░░░░░░ things like just cursory ░░░░░░░░ of Social Security And ░░░░░░░░ ve got people in ░░░░░░░░ that are 150 years ░░░░░░░░ Now do you know ░░░░░░░░ who s 150 I ░░░░░░░░ t Okay They should ░░░░░░░░ on the Guinness Book ░░░░░░░░ World Records They re ░░░░░░░░ out So you know ░░░░░░░░ s a case where ░░░░░░░░ I think they re ░░░░░░░░ dead That s my ░░░░░░░░ Or they should be ░░░░░░░░ famous One of the ░░░░░░░░ And then there s ░░░░░░░░ whole bunch of Social ░░░░░░░░ payments where there s ░░░░░░░░ identifying information Like why ░░░░░░░░ there no identifying information ░░░░░░░░ we want to make ░░░░░░░░ want to make sure ░░░░░░░░ people who deserve to ░░░░░░░░ Social Security do receive ░░░░░░░░ and receive it quickly ░░░░░░░░ accurately Also another crazy ░░░░░░░░ So you know one ░░░░░░░░ things is like we ░░░░░░░░ trying to sort of ░░░░░░░░ the federal bureaucracy to ░░░░░░░░ make sure that this ░░░░░░░░ there need to be ░░░░░░░░ lot of people working ░░░░░░░░ the federal government but ░░░░░░░░ as many as currently ░░░░░░░░ we re saying well ░░░░░░░░ well it s if ░░░░░░░░ can retire you know ░░░░░░░░ full benefits everything that ░░░░░░░░ be good They can ░░░░░░░░ get their retirement payments ░░░░░░░░ And then we re ░░░░░░░░ this is actually I ░░░░░░░░ a great anecdote because ░░░░░░░░ re told that the ░░░░░░░░ number of people that ░░░░░░░░ retire possibly in a ░░░░░░░░ is 10 000 We ░░░░░░░░ like well why is ░░░░░░░░ Well because all that ░░░░░░░░ the retirement paperwork is ░░░░░░░░ on paper It s ░░░░░░░░ calculated They re written ░░░░░░░░ on a piece of ░░░░░░░░ Then it goes down ░░░░░░░░ mine and like what ░░░░░░░░ you mean a mine ░░░░░░░░ yeah there s a ░░░░░░░░ mine where we store ░░░░░░░░ the retirement paperwork And ░░░░░░░░ look at a picture ░░░░░░░░ will post some pictures ░░░░░░░░ And this is this ░░░░░░░░ looks like something out ░░░░░░░░ the 50s because it ░░░░░░░░ started in 1955 So ░░░░░░░░ looks like it s ░░░░░░░░ a time warp And ░░░░░░░░ the speed the limiting ░░░░░░░░ is the speed at ░░░░░░░░ the mine shaft elevator ░░░░░░░░ move determines how many ░░░░░░░░ can retire from the ░░░░░░░░ government And the elevator ░░░░░░░░ down sometimes and then ░░░░░░░░ can retire.”
