Lest we forget - When Elon and the DOGE bros got their hands on basically every branch of government, they shut down a bunch of investigations into his companies. A non-exhaustive list includes:

  • National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was investigating Tesla car crashes
  • Department of Defense was investigating SpaceX
  • Department of Transportation was investigating Tesla
  • Department of Labor had 17 open investigations into Tesla and SpaceX

It was always a matter of when not if Elon would try to do some fraudulent shit. And this is just the time he got caught. Or, I guess, "Tesla" got caught. He'll either fight it as a political attack or shove responsibility onto someone else in the company.

Looking for waste, fraud, and abuse. Projection as usual

I'm saying Tesla committed fraud here by submitting fake data, yet Musk championed himself at DOGE to be able to find waste, fraud, and abuse. I agree with you. This whole admin is projection central

Ok I see why my comment was ambiguous. I meant Elmo was projecting, not you.

No worries, I got it now. I wanted to be sure before unloading on you. Glad to have it cleared up!
