Radiorum Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Massive layoffs at the Department of Education, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Office of Personnel Management, the Environmental Protective Agency, the General Services Administration, the Small Business Administration and USAID. Why? Because Musk wants to replace the bureaucrats with technocrats. He wants the government run by AI. What a boon to his company xAI!! It’s an AI coup. Quote It will not be hard for Musk to yoke his vision of government by A.I. to a narrative of American exceptionalism that the MAGA crowd can get behind… With DOGE, Musk is not only sidelining Congress and threatening to defy the courts, helping to bring the country to the point of constitutional crisis; he is also smuggling into our federal bureaucracy the seeds of a new authoritarian regime—techno-fascism by chatbot. Elon Musk’s AI-Fueled War on Human Agency Quote

What do you base any of this on? Quote

gatomontes99 Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 When have fascists ever advocated for smaller government? Another great example of rule #5. He hates that Musk is rooting out waste and fraud so he uses the emotionally charged word of "fascism" rather than what he really means, authoritarian.

If a liberal policy didn't work, it's a conservatives fault and vice versa. If all else fails, just be angry.

gatomontes99 Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Just now, Radiorum said: No evidence of fraud has been put forward. This is just the smoke Trump and Musk use to blind you. Waste AND fraud. They've found lots of waste. If they've found fraud, they won't say until the case is built. Quote The Rules for Liberal tactics: If they can't refute the content, attack the source.

Have you ever worked a day of your life with any of the current AI tools in a professional business capacity? The entire point is that it frees people up to create more value with their time, rather than be bogged down in wasteful mundane work. 20 minutes ago, Radiorum said: Musk's AI-first strategy is well-documented Where is that strategy to fire bureaucrats in government to replace them with technocrats as you claim?

Just because it's been out there: Quote The April 2024 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report estimates that, based on data gathered between 2018-2022, the federal government is losing $233-521 billion per year to fraud. In other words, fraud on the federal government is responsible for anywhere from roughly the GDP of Greece to what it would cost to purchase the White House approximately 1,300 times over each year. Or if you prefer percentages, using the federal budget of about $6.1 trillion for FY 2022 as an example, that means GAO estimates that 3.8 to 8.5 percent of the budget never made it to its intended use. https://www.taf.org/fbtn2024-introduction/ That's Joe Biden's own GAO saying that we lose up to $521B annually to fraud.

ironstone Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 It's a massive overreaction from the left as usual. This is only about reducing waste which is something all Americans should be happy about. I wish we had a Canadian version of DOGE. 1 Quote "Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it." Thomas Sowell

Anyone with half a brain can go over to X and see this is a lie. You are one of the most prolific liars on this forum, not like you really care about honesty. 1 Quote
