Yeah he’s also put some stuff out that was just outright wrong and he even admitted to it. Throw some crazy accusations out there as confirmation bias for the targeted base. Never actually provide any proof or raw data so people can verify the claims.

It’s all a show to get you on board for footing the bill for more tax cuts for the rich. It’s working.

I don't disagree with your sentiment. However you are not "funding" my retirement. For most of us receiving a check from SSA won't be a handout. Instead it will be a shitty return on a forced government retirement program. It needs to be modified into a private account that can be transferred to heirs at death.

This would give lower wage earners a chance to build wealth. I estimate that at the time of my retirement the government has essentially reduced most middle class retirement portfolios by well over a $1MM.

I guarantee you or someone in your family is getting something somebody else, like Musk, thinks is a handout and you'd squawk if it was taken away.

All those farmers who got left holding the bag didn't think it applied to them either.

Having no retirement money/plan and hoping your run on taxpayer coattails continues another 15-20 years is a bad spot to be in.

He would tell stories of working for some contractor at Stennis in the 1960s and how 'coding' was done back then on forms and punch cards. and how they'd have allocated time slots to go run their cards and if they didn't work they'd try again the next day.


Ahh, batch processing on time-sharing mainframes /minis. If a single card was out of order, your whole task was screwed.

Cobalt??

Did you mean Selenium? Or Magnesium?

Or maybe even COBOL?

It's funny how some people think Elon is just making all this stuff up. If that's true why are the Dems in congress going nuts about all these programs and federal employees losing their funding?

Is in not Cobalt, you idiots, nor is it Cobal.
It is COBOL and used to be used widely in business computing in the mainframe and IBM AS/400 era. It is still widely used.

Now kids in their diapers will not know it of course.

Short answer, sure, there's fraud somewhere but it's likely nowhere near the level he would have you believe in that post.

Yeah no way any overinflated government agency would have any type of corruption in it. Oh my god the dems cry he's is looking at our personal data.
I think after all these audits are done and they are just starting there will be trillions found that were pocketed and spent on things taxpayers would have never approved. Probably decades worth of unaccounted spending.
