Awesome! This shows they are paying attention and are upset when somebody calls them on their incompetence. Of course, the NYT today says that Musk is just hiding more of the alleged "cuts" from scrutiny. But you won this battle anyway.

Judd does it again and again.

Great work Judd, Keep it coming!

They’re not used to being confronted with facts. 😂

Yep. He’s (probably purposefully) conflating scope (e.g., # of people, # of programs, # of services) with cost savings.

His cuts are both devastating and save very little money. I’d put good money on the prediction that, if the US ever pulls itself out of this mess, his “cuts” will end up being extraordinarily costly. I’m sure a lot of discounting could already be done just given the cost of litigation.

They love to change the meaning of things.

Saying the numbers are inflated does not = saying they are not cutting enough.

So costly they did a reduction of force at my sisters agency and what they were left with is a bunch of ppl retired, too few staff and a bloat of judges. So the already slow review process will now crawl to a snails pace. They will have to hire third parties to deal with the insane backlog at a cost much greater than keeping the original staff that was already under what was needed for the volume

Well that didn’t take long. And to say that demonstrating that the cuts aren’t as big as claimed is an argument that the cuts should be bigger - I mean, I guess they need to spin the fact you pointed out that they’re pathological liars somehow.

Keep finding the truth and telling the world. Facts and truth are an anathema to the entire trump-musk regime. Propaganda is their weapon.

Keep up the good work! Musk is a weak, sorry man. I recently watched a movie where a powerful woman had to face a roomful of self-important male investors who resented her leadership. She imagined them as little boys and went on to win her priorities. Portraying Musk as such in your messaging might have an effect.

It is worth noting that Musk didn’t really attack anything — he retweeted/reposted someone else’s hot take, which is his usual lazy approach. He amplifies low follower and irrelevant accounts to elevate edgelord viewpoints like this while avoiding explicitly saying anything. But I mean, he can’t be expected to create original content between destroying federal agencies he doesn’t understand and rolling out more children from his baby production line.

The fact that Muskrat is angry is proof you have the uncovered the fraud, abuse and waste.

F-elon is an enemy agent working in cooperation with the republican congress to break up govt into bite size chunks for the greedy bastards to buy

It's also clear evidence that DOGE has zero understanding of the operational scope of systems they are impacting (assuming, of course, any of them care at all about scope or impact... unlikely). DOGE is more like a gang of digital arsonists addicted to the burn.

Trump and Musk - both massive cons. So important to call out the fraud.

Aawww! You struck a nerve in poor Leon Elon! Neither he or Dementia Donny mind telling lies, but they sure get rattled when they're called on them.

CONGRATS! No response to justify the numbers. No response to correct the numbers. This is the usual game of trying to hide the truth behind distraction.

Judge Chutkan wants them to bring receipts.

— Judge orders Elon Musk and Doge to produce records about cost-cutting operations

The documents would ultimately inform whether Musk has been operating unconstitutionally to the extent Doge’s activities should be halted. —
