>>22602508> instead you're just listing things you would have differentlyI'm saying that these are obvious points to follow during an audit. The reason you'd deviate from these points is because your real goal is not to conduct an audit. I cannot prove that they are stealing data; it's not as if they will let me record them as they are doing it.
>if you've backed off from claimingNo, I'm claiming the same I wrote previously. Steal data, gut government. To steal data is probably a Musk specific goal, to gut the government is a more widely sought goal but I'm fairly sure Musk also shares that goal. But regardless of who has exactly what goal, Musk will help carry it out because he's part of an alliance. For example, I don't think Musk cares much about the NIH, but he'll still help wreck it.
I'm just ridiculing the idea that Trump/Musk have to destroy most of the civil service in order to implement his agenda, unless that agenda is in fact to destroy most of the civil service, or order something very illegal without getting Congress to pass a law to make it legal.
I quickly skimmed your article and it seems to be about installing the government with loyalists. I agree that this seems to be the case. Trump seems to want to go beyond the normal change of top officials and thoroughly abolish the merit system of civil service and return to the spoils system of civil service that the US had before the 1880s and the Pendleton Act. At least, for what remains of the civil service after Trump/Musk are done with it. For example, his Schedule F reform seems quite in line with such a goal.
But whatever. I'm just extremely disappointed, because what's happening in US politics means the US will likely will not be not be able to offer effective competition to China in the long run. And so a US-China space race will be short lived.
