Earlier today President Trump and Elon Musk, head of the Dept of Government Efficiency, held a press conference in the oval office to answer questions about the ongoing DOGE review of government.
Elon Musk outlines examples of how the various government agencies spend money without any standard accounting principles that facilitate audits and reviews. In material fact the system of government that Elon Musk and President Trump outline, appears fully designed to generate fraud.
In essence, “waste, fraud and abuse” within government, is a feature of how the government systems are organized, not a flaw. WATCH:
.
It is amazing how the media reporters present the structure of their questions to support the waste, fraud and abusive systems within the administration of government as it is outlined. We do not dislike the media enough.
Trump Announces New Intelligence Advisory Board – and Devin Nunes will Serve as Chairman

Social Security fund raided and money funneled daily to the corrupt and evil government of Ukraine…
OUR SS fund, robbed (like it has been for decades) – the difference is this time it’s given to another country.
This is why these people need to be taken to the wood shed and relieved of any asset to refund our stolen money
Would love to have seen the pictures of the assembled press during this! They sound stunned and struggling.
Rice bowls being smashed is a terrible thing to wake up to in the morning, doncha know!
Thanks for the transparency in the media President Trump and Elon Musk.
Through their questions, this press shows themselves to be absolutely stupid.
this joint press conference with PresTrump and Elon and all the media outrage directed at Elon, news commentator said:
“Musk is a heat shield for the President”

DOGE has clawed the money back
There is also more good news: Giaritelli has confirmed DOGE has clawed the money back as promised by Musk.
yay
I am sure Leticia James would have confiscated Trump Properties and recommissioned them for illegals if they had prevailed in lawfare.
Okay – very weird presser.
Will be red meat for SNL and Jon Stewart et all because of little x.
Speaking of common sense, why is his one of 14 kids climbing his head while we are expecting to take him seriously.
I get it.
Disarm your enemy.
Sorry…but this is cray-cray.
I am all in for DOGE, but this is beyond nutty.
Also admitting you are not going to bat 1000 and that you got things totally wrong re: GAZA? [sigh]
Heaven forbid that anybody admits they’re human…
No, it was bizarre.
If we cannot grasp that we are equally bizarre.
The child is a prop.
Not a good optic.
You completely missed the point…
…or maybe you’re just one of Peggy Noonan’s desk jockeys
🤡
You’re a troll … go away.
If he’s a troll, then I’m a troll too because the child was distracting. While I applaud him loving his son, that was no place to show it. I found myself watch the boy and missing the words.
Ever had kids. A ridiculous response if you’ve had them.
I had young’uns… Now their getting to be old’uns… When daddy went to work he did not take his children with him. I put them in day care where they could play with children their age. Where they didn’t have to “be quite” “behave” because… The fact that Musk takes this kid every where he goes doesn’t imply love to me it indicates some kind of deranged dependency or perhaps some kind of guilt reaction due to one of his children turning trans – I dunno. The boy doesn’t deserve to be constrained in an adult working environment. I see it as unhealthy for the child.
Just curious – did you take your children to work with out every day???
I Truly wonder what your definition of “healthy” actually is; specifically.
Kids and grandkids which makes someone like me enjoy the antics of a child rather than listening as I should.
Try shutting your eyes and opening up your ears.
Is your attention span that short?
you are embarrassing and you need a new handle…bill
“The child is a prop.“
That you see a father son moment as the child being a prop says more about you than Musk.
The reason that x is so well behaved is likely because he gets to go everywhere with his dad who has taught him how to behave.
I noted yesterday that having the clout to bring your kid with you to work means you are at the top of the food chain.
Those people usually work long hours thus they bring their kids because they want to spend time mentoring them. It shows love.
I also quipped that maybe he should have had a nanny in waiting since x ended up on his head. But that he doesn’t hand him off to the nanny is likely WHY X he can behave so well. .
It was so cute the way X held his hands together mimicking how Musk was standing.
This isn’t 1950. Trump did not seem to mind and Musk has earned to right to include his kid in the moment.
He does have someone, because we have seen him at occasions where we know little X is with him, where he is seated at a table talking business and the child is out of the picture.
I liked Lil X being there, and thought he did a great job.
Well he was picking his nose and eating his boogers…so you have that.
It was his first day on the job. I’m hoping by his second presser, he has figured out he can flick them on CNN.
Well the good ‘ole boys during your revolution all had Muskettes if you believe history.
Elon should ask that 150 year old if he still has a musket,
Ok give me my hat and coat!
I’m giggling at the thought of Lil X flicking boogers . . . Not so much if Elon did it
“flick them on CNN”
I LOLd, as the kids say …
Trump is A Man of The People
You are free continue to be whatever you think YOU are, and the rest of us will apply due weight accordingly
I never saw that happen, but he is 4 years old.So welcome to a world with children.
It humanizes the richest man in the world, just another dad who can’t keep his kid’s fingers out of his nose.
I think little X is his “support pet”. Meaning due to his autism, I think he’s very uncomfortable socially and needs the support. So, that’s why he’s allowed to bring ‘his kid to work’. IMO
Audit to add …. I mean no aspersions to Little X with the support pet analogy.
I love the videos your mommy is posting on Facebook of her changing your poopie diapers.
Biden wasn’t there. What are you talking about?
If it’s good enough for President Trump, it’s good enough for me.
Thiessen….dat YOU?
Well, there’s an attack from Treepers I bet you did not see coming. While we can see that Elon is the man for this temporary job of a rapid return to some semblance of normal, rooting out the waste (embezzlement), sending the bureaucracy packing, etc., there is still the “resistance,” and it might be important to look professional while dealing with the resistance.
It’s fine. Different strokes for different folks.
“Professionals” got us into this mess and continue to perpetuate it. I despise the “experts” and “professionals” for the problems they’ve created.
Business acumen.
If $50 million in condoms go to some Gaza Hamas terrorists or some Gaza, Mozambique AIDS vectors, at this point, sir, what difference does it make?
But, oh, we’re stopping the spread of AIDS, another gain-of-function disasters that our government created (looking again at you, Fauci – and Bill), and, and, you know.
Wow! What a weird comment. Worrying about what will be red meat for the loser MSM. Who Cares—except knuckleheads. The MSM is as corrupt. Many of them will STRUGGLE with their USAID funding cut off. There’ll be money funneled to them from OTHER departments as well. Of course they are going to scream—why wouldn’t they, it could cause significant harm.
Have you seen the polls? Over 80% of the US WANT these cuts to happen. There IS transparency. Let them scream and make fun of it—they only look like buffoons. Just like people that focus on the WRONG things in this press conference.
Last, I’m guessing you, when you were little NEVER ate a booger. The only difference is your dad wasn’t important and you weren’t in front of tons of people for them to see it. Go troll somewhere else.
We ignored the polls when they favored Biden and Harris. Why now rely upon a poll simply because it seems to favor us and fit your narrative?
As for trolling, that seems to be the fallback when anyone dares to question or oppose the current popular narrative.
I upvoted bill, but not for the reasons he stated. I distrust anyone who does not give deference to the President. Musk’s disheveled attire seemed like Fetterman or Zelenskyy, and next time he needs to remove his hat. He is in the Oval Office, not at a rally. Optics matter. I am sure someone could keep a tie and jacket in a closet somewhere for any future pressers.
I loved it!! Elon’s little guy is really well behaved and cute as a button. What’s not to love?
I think it showed the human side of the transhumanist/autist known as Musk. He is a hands on family man. And his little guy was great. If you really pay attention to Trump’s face during the whole thing he cracks up And smiles when little X Does some of his antics. And so did whoever the guy was standing next to Musk.
I will admit I was distracted by X when he was picking his nose.
I hear Elon is of a “private/shy” nature, probably his little one is a comfort to him, it could also limit the attacks from msn . If he’s sleeping in the office’s all of his time, this is some time he gets with his son. Simple things.
He DID disarm his enemies. Normal people seeing that will see a lovely image of a father and son, and be less inclined to believe that bad things the MSM says about this man.
I’m sure there is a yuge “awww” reaction in American homes.
My guess is that Elon was not expecting to be in front of the cameras. Trump gave him a suit coat and he put a hat on to cover his hair. Little guy was with dad and there was not someone to “watch the baby” while he spoke in front of the cameras. Elon did state that he talks to The President every day. A man intimately involved in his children’s lives is a treasure.
Make having a family great again!
Take Your Kid To Work Day
It’s been celebrated wildly by liberals in the past
What’s changed?
The democrats are calling Musk evil. How can you possibly call him evil when is son is sticking his fingers in his father’s ears all while maintaining focus on answering stupid media questions. I thought it was brilliant.
I had heard about this for two busy days before I got the chance to open it this morning.
I already knew from podcasts that the kid did what kids do.
But distracting? Oh, please.
After a moment or so of watching I started doing some easy kitchen tasks while simply listening.
I wasn’t distracted at all and absorbed everything said. Very important solid information.
People with common sense know how to manage “distraction.”
Whining about something so silly, and especially worrying what the MSM will think, is pearl-clutching in the extreme.
The vote already occurred – it was called the 2024 Presidential election.
It’s the President’s JOB, DUTY, and defined by his OATH to uphold the laws of the country, which includes eliminating fraud and directly controlling ALL of the executive branch and setting foreign policy (which includes money sent to other countries).
If there’s a government shutdown over the debt ceiling then nonessential federal employees will be sitting at home (or bars).
I have heard that dems may initiate it (and of course blame Trump).
I say bring it on.
Absolutely!
And then fire anyone called “non-essential” by the bureaucracy.
Honestly, we don’t love President Trump and Elon enough.
Not so stunning when you realize that the more visability of these matters of fiscal corruption and ineptitude, the better for Trumps cause of fighting it. People need to see and be told the truth about the political and judicial corruption…It’s Trump’s best tool…Visability.
Very good point. When DJT has visuals like this, the msm can’t ignore it.
When Reagan was running, he’d have crowds cheering and flags everywhere – maybe half the public didn’t know his policy positions – but they saw a winner.
Who knows how many people ‘get it’ on tariffs or corruption, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) or transparency… but they see DJT doing something every day – the exact opposite of fjb.
At this rate, where will The Left be in 6 months?
Just wondering where you detected ineptitude? I saw/see a blatant, corrupt disregard for the American tax payer. And now they’re getting exposed. There was no ineptitude. Yeah, I know I’m chasing semantics but still…
When I think of Pam Bondi I think about Grand Juries……and a white board of organizational pictures……RICO trials using the Patriot Act.
I think of snitches and low hanging fruit. All the evidence and information left by sloppy, lazy and narcissistic criminals that have been gorging themselves on taxpayer money for decades. Killing anyone they want to.
Time is on our side. There is no statue of limitations for murder or treason. Endless possibilities for justice.
This is exactly what we need to heal America.
Right?! The trick is which one to do first since the Lawfare will snap into place to prevent any others from happening. Which one will have the most impact toward draining the swamp?
If the trend continues LawFare will have no $$ left to pay their white-shoe minions.
You’ll need half an hour and be patient with Elon’s stammer, but this might be one of the most important and impressive press conferences I have ever heard.
I’ll take Elon’s stammer for 1 trillion dollars. Thanks!
Many very intelligent people speak like that because their thoughts are going more quickly than their speech.
Remember back in the 90s when a person could type faster than the CPU could process it and put it on the screen? Like that.
The Government Accountability Office revealed $247 billion in “improper payments” across 82 federal programs—in a single year.
That number doesn’t include programs too compromised to measure.
Think about the scale:
more than every private sector fraud in history combined.
And yet, the numbers are only part of the story.
The system’s response tells us far more. https://eko.substack.com/p/kill-switch?r=8oof7&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
“… The machine isn’t fighting back. It’s bleeding….”
From the jugular, I believe.
Hallalujah – Joy
Some observe:
Theater of the flailing.
Focusing on corruption which grew as a natural response to loss of industry. (High level view)
The spotlight is on government, but that is just a center of myriad ties to a societal problem: The fiat flowing outward has been propping up the house of cards.
Rapidly cut the feed ties at center and watch what happens to the larger society.
Many are cheering this axe wielding, but “no man is an island”.
That’s the first thing to understand.
The second is that the much bigger problem -the sovereign debt juggernaut – cannot be stopped now. Mr. “F YOURSELF in the face” most recently said they hope to cut the deficit in half, but that won’t stop the debt from continuing to grow, because the real economy basis is hollowed out (industry) and the debt is in runaway doom loop mode fed by interest expenses. That’s the basic issue.
Rebuilding industry would take decades if competencies had not been severely degraded due to 50+ years of identity class “equity” quotas in parallel with China et al building industry.
So the life support is being cut, the patient is far too weak to suddenly jump up and do cartwheels, and this is Stage 4 metastasis, what do we think will happen?
In case that’s not enough to ensure euthanasia, the doctors have been administering treatments that are patently harmful: Experimental genetic manipulation injections with a massive record of harm signals, which the doctors are aggressively downplaying. “Iatrogenics” but why? Simple greed and groupthink, or something more nefarious? The answer may lie in the fact that Russia, China, et al have not forced their populations to take the shots.
The working class has not been at stage four metastasis, IMHO. It’s more like it has been tied up and imprisoned. Once released, it will spring back to life rather quickly. See Trump T-1 for reference.
And there are many in America who refused the shots. See “The Great Resignation” that occurred in the 3rd quarter of 2021 when Biden’s deadline for forced vaccinations came due. Many people quit their jobs rather than take that shot. These people, of which I am one, will quickly put America back in high gear.
We’re doomed!
/s
😆
Yes. I smell thistles being chewed.
This is called “bait”
Love it. Trump trolls better than any human on earth. Absolutely what is needed at this time inside this timeline.
Still do not agree that President Trump should let any and every judge dictate the running of government. There should be enough evidence of the law being used by the radical left to see sometimes you just got to say no I’m not doing anything wrong. Let them prove that you are doing wrong. Isn’t a person innocent until proven guilty? Do the job and let them prove you should not.
Unless proven guilty.
‘Until’ presupposes the outcome.
could you explain that more fully please. I truly liked to know more.
oops now I see sorry about that
Nothing has changed in the D–b government employees. Yelling like Schumer, Water’s and want to be Indian from Massachusetts nothing but lies from them and the worthless News Media. The Democrats corruption live up to their name “Demo” and “Rats” out to destroy the USA. “we the people” are Not having it, we are coming after them for sure.
Elon’s little boy was incredibly entertaining and clearly comfortable with his father, whatever the surroundings.
MSM stated Elon “held court” to describe the press conference, more than once, making it the official narrative.
imagine for a moment, when DOGE begins to look at voting systems…looking first to federal, state AND NGO “grants”, “loans”, and direct financing up to and including what kinds of technologies, software and hardware were transferred to these companies.
that’s how we “get inside the machine”.
Go first into the money aspect…follow that.
after the review shows the waste, then begin exfil UNDER LEGAL AUTHORITY AND CLEARED BY THE COURTS to get into the systems inner workings.
that is next.
stay tuned.
President Trump has the right crew and has held very closely and guarded the kinds of investigative work he is doing right now. This was smart. It disallows the corruptors a head start to set traps and establish legal advantages.
we are going to see much more “waste”…this will more than likely provide the public and the political momentum to learn how the sausage is made.
noting: anyone believing that 2020 was a one off and that fraud isn’t going to happen again, should seriously check that assumption. For the most important parts of election security, not much has changed. There remains a wide open set of exploits that can happen again.
God Bless America
Stephen Miller has my total respect and confidence—-so happy to see him there.
And btw…..his wife Katie serving in a couple of different capacities is a good thing. Stephen can’t be everywhere….so send the wife.👍🏻
“We do not dislike the media enough”
Amen, brother
One thing which strikes me about Trump 47 is how calm he is — he seems far more centered. I am sure he is angry after all the lawfare, assassination attempts and smears, but it seems a cold anger. He is intensely focused on cleaning up the mess that the US government has turned into, and is working tirelessly.
Elon seems to have the same centered focus as well, to the point of sleeping in empty government buildings on weekends to keep working. For free. The woke mind virus took his son from him, he has said, and now he has found the nest from which the mind virus originated. He is over the target and getting flack, but he is not wavering. His little boy is there in the press conference, perhaps breaching protocol but it is also a message and a reminder: “You fu**ed with my family and I love my children more than anything. This is why.”
RFK Jr has been burned by the left, as has Tulsi and Jay Bhattacharya. These are very talented and successful people who have an axe to grind with the arrogant and corrupt leftists in DC. I think Trump 47 has chosen them for specific reasons, first that they know what it is like to be on the receiving end of cancellation and second that they stuck by their just beliefs in the face of adversity.
There is more to come….I need to get more popcorn.
Lil X being at the presser also suggests that the future is watching. That child and others of his generation will inherit the world being built right now.
“We do not dislike the media enough.” So incredibly true. If we just had some way of letting them know that we really think of them!
given that Cartoon Network has better ratings than CNN, the people have spoken. Once the USAID checks stop flowing, there won’t be any money to prop up those unwanted entities. The Free Market is a wonderful and powerful thing. Ask Bud Lite.
pHARMa props the media up – a wholly owned subsidiary.
Wait ’til we get to that fraud machine.
pHARMakeia is the real sewer where lucifer lives & breathes, eats, sleeps & procreates.
Sundance, I have a question.
What is the action plan to achieve the spending cuts?
I believe you said that DOGE equals transparency via communication. We see it. But, is this penetrating the society at large?
PDJT said he will respect of courts. We may ultimately win, but this will take time, and the outcome is uncertain.
A Congressman has introduced Articles of Impeachment for one of the crooked judges. Is this a good tactic? I think it is.
Should/ is DOGE defying the courts? I think they should develop work arounds.
Can we get the right stuff passed by Congress?
What is the best path forward? And what do you see happening?
“A” question? 🤪
‘work-arounds’ after the judges’ pathetic shenannigans…{ “Trump signs order handing Musk and DOGE more power to slash federal workforce.” }AND…“… In just the last 24 hours, Trump has deployed the threat of a historic, Swamp-draining reconciliation bill, forced deep-state classified disclosures, devastating counter-leaks, public-official grifting investigations, and a new Executive Order requiring massive downsizing and making Resistance a terminable offense.It was a whole-of-government, belt-and-suspenders strategy. It has created a Deep State doom loop.{ https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/swamp-apocalypse-wednesday-february?publication_id=463409&post_id=156995849&isFreemail=true&r=209fvb&triedRedirect=true

Read this one too, after that one
A federal judge ordered the destruction of evidence showing the largest fraud in American history.

Of course not.
Leftist don’t have principles-
They have an agenda.
DOGE are Great thing to happen,
Musk has a secret weapon in that little boy. So disarming.
Young X Musk was quite entertaining as he explored his nasal cavity, to the delight of viewers. Fortunately, nasal snacks did not become an issue.
Have you seen the Democrat’s “Whisleblower” website for reporting abuses of frud, etc. within the TRUMP Administration?
https://www.democrats.senate.gov/whistleblowers
I took a peek at it and had to laugh out loud.
American citizens who love and care for their Country need to flood this Dem website, complaining about everything from THEIR love for Marxist/Communist ideology to questioning how they’ve individually made millions of dollars on a $175,000 a year salary. Just a thought.
I want DOGE to audit County government where I live now, as county government is not needed anyways, and local and state government should be audited as well.
If they ever audited the criminal County Democrats where I used to live, I would hazard a guess they would have to bring in armed Federal officers because their would be so much resistance from County criminals fighting to stop the revelation of their crimes that would surely put untold numbers of them in prison since they criminally amassed a debt of over $600 million that every property owner in the county is responsible for and is paying the debt and interest too and is why their property taxes are mind blowing and they struggle to pay. All criminally done
If USAID is gone, and government is efficient, will it make the “lump of worms removed from feet” advertisements pushed by google at CTH go away? If so, I’m all for it.
