How about a pat on the back to DOGE for exposing this hilarious retirement mine fiasco? Nobody wants to high five them for that?

What are you talking about? Musk says clearly in the video:

@89th Musk said "the government" paid it. (Turns out it was an unsigned contract at the Dept of Interior.) The dunker on Twitter claimed that Musk said "The National Park Service" paid it, then gave the park service's annual budget, and declared victory. Musk never said the park service was paying the survey contract. Anyway, the details as they've been uncovered, are above, and the claim that it's a single survey for $830m still doesn't stand up to scrutiny, but there is a lot of money being paid for survey consulting, which DOGE is ending.

Holy crap all I did was post the transcript. Was what he said accurate or not? I don’t care about other dunkers or tweets.

You do realize this mine wasn’t a secret before? Maybe Elon discovered it but it’s not new. Further a former manager of the site said there’s “no elevator that restricts how many files (therefore people) can retire per month. It’s literally on the same level as the entrance.” And there isn’t a cap of 10,000 or 8,000 per month, the mine has nothing to do with the pace of retirements processed each month.”
Sometimes I feel like Lt. Daniel Kaffee.

Illegal immigration wasn't a secret before Trump, either. Attention has a way of changing priorities.

Ok, you think the government was being charged $1,000,000,000 for a one question survey. Got it.

Mark my words, even if they digitize the entire iron mountain process, it will not change the pace of federal retirements. Btw they said it will only take a couple of months. So let’s check back in the summer to see if it’s done?

If it takes a complex analysis to determine whether or not somebody was being honest, he wasn't being honest.

I'm on record from the get-go that I'm not optimistic about DOGE, but I appreciate the effort, and I will happily wait and see. The claims have certainly been exaggerated and misleading or dishonest in many cases.

@89th You're literally not reading my posts.
Apologies I did see you concluded that Elon lied about the survey cost. I’m a simple man, all I’m talking about are the lies and exaggerations on their quest. Otherwise, I wish them well on the mission.

And I do believe their intentions are in the right place. The common notion that they have sinister motivations, is as departed from reality as the worst of their claims.

Yeah, that one I agree was a little fanciful. It would take that long to design the system to hold these records digitally. I wonder at what age can they dispose of these records.

Also - why have we heard of no arrests or investigations if there’s all this fraud going on?
