Elon forgot to write “up to” before his savings numbers. Rookie mistake. Dude needs more time in a mattress store.
He needs more time in a dank, dark dungeon.
And the consequences for those involved?
At the very least there should be an investigation as to how this data was developed, so that we can avoid making this ‘mistake’ in the future. Right?..
Strongly worded letters going out any day now.
Didn’t we know this was the case like right as they posted it? I remember they even had to change shit on the website because people were pointing it out how unrealistic it was.
Yes, for sure. Immediately.
I was on a $9M research contract that was cancelled by DOGE. Their website listed that contract as $9M saved. The problem? We were nearly done with the work. We had spent $8M.
The remaining $1M of work was data review, publishing findings, and preparing public datasets and documentation.
So they only “saved” $1M. But really, they lost $8M because at contract end we were instructed to destroy all the collected data and the government ended up with basically nothing. So that work and those findings will never see the light of day.
Cancelling that contract at that point was the work of fucking idiots.
That’s just one story. The DOGE website has thousands of cancelled contracts listed.
Well to be fair to the pieces of shit, they didn’t write anything and probably only read half of what their Ai shat out.
“In addition, when government data are not reliable, it can hinder the public’s trust in government,” the report stated.
Theat was the whole point, though. If enough voters don’t trust government, they will give Republicans permission to shrink it so small they can drown it in the bathtub.
They’re just saying that. They won’t shrink it, they need the government to control everyone and remove the undesirables.
Shocked.
