In fairness Musk has been underhanded since Tesla. A company he bought…then rewrote history by declaring himself “Tesla’s Founder.” Funny thing about that. Teslas didn’t self-ignite until after Elon bought the company. Also, Teslas self-drive, though people.

What has Musk found anyway? So far only big numbers on lay offs, causing all kinds of problems, but no 2 trillion a year by far. And on the way DOGE has violated numerous laws and taken possesion of data they shouldn't be seeing. Who will be held accountable for all this misbehaviour? Anyone? Ever?

Interesting - the superficial use of big data as unvarnished depiction of the truth is widespread and clearly blinds Musk type techies. The reality is much more complex - how data is collected and presented and what it is used to show. All that requires understanding of politics and institutions…

… this stuff will not be familiar to untutored techies but Govt officials could explain if asked - trouble is they are not as the data libertarians think they can get around Govt and go straight to the data as if that exists on its own. Finally - data doesn’t decide people do…👆👆👆

The SSA is like a plane flying right at the edge of stalling. It’s about as efficient an agency (or private business) as you can get. I wish stories would start there. You only make changes if you are trying to crash the plane.
