@my-king-and-i removed their quoted postElon Musk's companies, including SpaceX and Tesla, have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits over the past 20 years, according to a Washington Post analysis.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
SpaceX:
Has secured significant contracts with NASA and the Department of Defense, including for satellite launches and space transportation services.
Tesla:
Has benefited from regulatory credits, loans, and tax credits for electric vehicles, and has received a $465 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy to sell its fuel-efficient cars in 2010.
Starlink:
SpaceX's subsidiary, Starlink, has contracts with various government agencies for providing internet access in remote areas, including for ocean research ships, workers repairing a bridge, and U.S. Geological Survey officials.
Other Government Funding:
Musk's companies have received funding from state and local governments as well.
This complete waste is much larger than your little 22 billion. Just off the cuff you're still 16 billion short of the amount tax payers payed for Musk-rat and his waste fraud and abuse of our government. Anything else YOUr queen and YOU?
@my-king-and-i removed their quoted postThat's irrelevant to what occurred in the last administration.
The spending you are whining about was authorized by Congress, unlike the cuts DOGE is trying to make.

@spruce112358 saidoh...you are one of the impatient ones. Gotta know now!!! I want my govt check NOW!!!
YAWN!!! Yeah - quite a shame they haven't found any fraud yet. Just appropriations. 😆
The fact that the government appropriates money is known - as well as the fact that some appropriations are "pork" used to get other bills passed.
Wake me up when you find some fraud... zzzzzz 😆

No President ever allowed a Cabinet meeting to be televised because they are supposed to be serious exchanges of ideas between the highest ranking officials in the country discussing sensitive matters. Only this clown would make it into another reality TV show to be shown on Fox News as an adjunct to their 24/7 propaganda.
And, of course, non-Cabinet member Elon Musk had to be there mugging for the cameras when the only things non-cabinet members should be doing at such meetings is handing papers to real officials and/or getting them coffee.

@My-King-And-I saidThere's nothing "transparent" about this Administration but their lies.
@no1marauder
It's nice having a transparent president and staff.
You miss the old days when your deceiving Democrats were in power?
Nice of the Defense Secretary to "transparently" reveal military secrets in a group chat though.
@my-king-and-i removed their quoted postYour "transparent" administration has been claiming that DOGE is immune from Freedom of Information requests but so far Federal Judges have said otherwise. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5187282-doge-open-records-judge-rules/
@no1marauder saidMarauder had said since Jan 20 that we are not told enough and why, Jesus. NOW he is saying the president should not let us see a cabinet meeting. Now, are y’all having a hard time as I am following Marauders conflict?

And marauder scrambles to try to make hay of anything, and is actually saying that musk should not be in the meeting. I think it goes without saying that if musk were not in the meeting, that marauder would be saying that this guy who is in charge of so much stuff should have been in the meeting. I think I will Pour myself one Jack Daniel. .
Marauder. Where do these people come from.
@my-king-and-i removed their quoted postThat's correct, but the Administration isn't saying they need reasonable time to fulfill such requests - they're claiming that DOGE doesn't have to respond at all.
@AverageJoe1 saidIs Elon Musk in the Cabinet?
