This is a good reminder that anytime you try to find some kind of 4D chess reason for what Musk does, the reality is much likelier that he is a complete idiot who has no idea how the world works, yet he is powerful and rich and wields near complete loyalty from others so he gets what he wants.
In this piece I highlight just one example of one of the main (anonymous!) accounts that Elon is taking instructions from, claiming that Bill Kristol is funded by USAID... based on a total misunderstanding of what a *donor approved fund* is.
There are so many examples like this.

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

WSJ: A staffer for Elon Musk’s DOGE whose access to U.S. Treasury payment systems was approved by a federal judge on Thursday has links to a deleted social-media account that advocated for racism and eugenics
He resigned Thursday after the WSJ asked about it.

Today I did a human trafficking training for future social workers. One aspect we discussed is how many Trump EOs (closing the border, cancelling asylum, ending USAID, ending support for LGBTQIA+people, & more) create vulnerabilities for traffickers to prey on. More vulnerabilities = more victims.

Federal employees: Do not take the so-called deal. Make them fire you. Lawyer up and sue for wrongful termination. And in the meantime, maliciously comply.

Today’s press conference was deliberate. They knew exactly what they were doing bringing disability into the DEI conversation should anyone be too focused on the racial implications of previous rhetoric. It was entirely political, inappropriate, and alarming.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Per an NIH source:
“Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”
