Yeah, say what you want about me. My identity isn't tied to politicians like some appear to be in here.

Biden was ineffectual. Obama didn't make good on many promises. Hillary was a terrible candidate, as was Kamala. I've never had a political sticker, shirt, hat, youtube subscription, or 24/7 TV of any of these people. That's cult *****


What's the word? Simp? People simp'ing for a billionaire. Incredible.

---

Tell us who you'd have reviewing .gov expenses, fraud, and waste?

Really weak attempt at straw man

Rather DOGE and Musk have a look at it than any government employee, IRS included.

Only if he releases his and Trumps return.

Ran into trouble with IRS one time as I had employed a PA and not a CPA to do my taxes back in 83 or (85???).
I knew his idea was shaky but "What the hell!"
He got a little exuberant with deductions!

Yea I'm getting audited now. I'm sure the agent will divulge her returns, if only I'd ask.

Also begs to differ, who then would scrutinize their returns, you not getting a 1040EZ like most the loudest minions do.

I trust Elon Musk with my IRS data more than I trust the IRS with it.

---

. You trust a guy who has 13 children with 4 different women, smokes pot on air and founded two major companies with heavy government subsidies as a major part of their success. Interesting.

---

I didn't say I trust him to be my husband...I'm not sure I see your point.

---

. Everyone seems to think Musk is incorruptible, when he has major business interests all over the world. I am more of a trust but verify kind of guy. As I think all should be.

---

Do you not think IRS agents are corruptible? If the richest man in the world can be corruptible, and an IRS agent making <$80k can be corruptible, I will take my chances with the billionaire 10/10 times. Did I ever say he's a perfect person? No. But I don't trust much that has been going on over the past several years and I'll put my trust in the change, not the status quo.

---

Lets see. Do I trust a low level accountant who stands to go to jail for a long long time and lose their job or do I trust a billionaire who can weaponize all of our data to make billions and billions and not go to jail? That's the question you're asking me? I think I would trust the low level accountant. Call me crazy.

---

Must be loyal to Trump and Musk. If they do it, it is right and proper. Trust them!

---

You don't have to be loyal to them. We know who your heroes are.

I didn't trust the IRS before…and I certainly don't trust Musks team. That tickle everyone feels is a political appointee giving a procto exam to all your personal data.

I am not surprised you feel that way.

Who ran the last administration? What info were they accessing? Why weren't you questioning it?

That poster doesn't trust Musk but was ok with Hunter sitting in on high level top secret presidential meetings. Right.

And using stolen classified documents on Ukraine to enrich himself.

Trump's tax returns were illegally accessed and released to the media by an IRS contractor.

My company received a notice from the IRS stating the same contractor illegally accessed our tax returns as well.

No idea, but I can't do a FOIA request to find out. I am sure it's all in the up and up. Absolute power never corrupted anyone right.

I wonder if we took all the non billionaires in the US and added up their net worth, I don't think it will add up to Musk's 433B.

Looking at these tweets, sounds like the right people are "Reeeeing". Besides that, my tax data has been in the hands of Kleptocrats for years. I don't mind if it's in the hands of those who are doing what they need to do to continue to expose government waste, crooks and the Ponzi scheme that is the irs.

---

There are some "very concerned" people as well who didn't have any questions about the last admin but now suddenly do.

. Like who? Name names.

You serious? Don't file your taxes and see exactly what I believe he's referencing.

How is Musk accessing data any different from what we have now? An unelected bureaucrat who works for the IRS already has access to my information. If the president appoints another team of unelected bureaucrats to root out corruption and fraud, how is it any different from me? Are IRS personnel more virtuous than Musk personnel? I'll take my chances with Musk.

What for? So Letitia James and Alvin Bragg can go through them and make up felony charges about how recording legal settlements as legal expenses is a crime?

Given a choice between DOGE looking at my tax returns for fraud vs IRS agents looking to see if I sent $600 via Venmo, I'll take DOGE everytime.

In positions of power? Yes, absolutely. That amount of money buys anything.

I don't need to provide proof of that statement, look at Musk, standing behind the POTUS and the resolute desk. His position now of "oversite", aka access to anything anywhere with zero accountability.

You can deflect to "who would you choose" all day long, it's irrelevant to what's happening right now.

There's severe consequences for nefarious usage by an IRS employee. They go through training for their job and the systems they use.

Who are Musk's cronies? Damn near anyone he has been in business with, had children with, etc hates his guts mainly out of pure jealousy and scorn.

Musk suffers no fools and I cannot imagine he suffers criminals very well.

What records do you want to see and what qualifies you to audit their work? Or who do you want auditing their work? The press / MSM? GAO? OMB? Those corrupt OIGs? Woke arse Big 4 like Deloitte, PWc, EY and KPMG?

And as already explained, you can absolutely request the records. Let us know which ones you are looking for.

I don't have a "team"... I have common sense that dictates someone should be cleaning up waste and fraud. If Elon has the team and technology best capable of finding that, it's a good thing. The f'ing bureaucrats from the last half century damn sure didn't.

Its interesting that of the OP's last 15 posts 9 have been OPs of "What do you think of ????" type questions that I think are loaded BS designed to get you to question, from the left, Trump's actions.

I have to admit they are cleverly cloaked.

ALL billionaires are in positions of power as you point out.

At what level of net worth do people become inherently trustworthy?

Maybe we should trust the House oversight committees since they were elected to control the purse springs and provide oversight of the executive and have done such a fabulous job thus far.

I do not understand the reluctance to have a peak underneath the hood and to fix obvious broken things that will cause the engine to stop working.

This is all about "but what if he spills a drop of oil? Who will make sure he wipes it up super clean and does not just leave it there".

Its chicken little thinking on crack.
