Elon Musk: “On one hand, DOGE computer nerds review government data to eliminate waste & fraud. On the other hand, demented creeps at intelligence agencies spy on you at will. Which is of greater concern?”

At one point Government Spying was a big concern after the Patriot Act etc after 9/11. Elon Musk also supports Ron Paul’s vision of things that was popular at one point within the Republican Party.

The problem is that Elon is a private entity bringing in other private entities and given access to the most sensitive information in the US without oversight. Dude owns a media platform where most of its income comes from selling your data. Modern media companies and platforms spy on normal people and sell their data more than the government ever has.
It’s not related.
The focus is on waste right now.
Separate issues. That will likely get addressed in the future.
