2. 100%

3. Was there ever any doubt ?

4. I’m trying to audit them here r/DogeAudit

   It’s not easy though when I don’t have the access that they do.

5. Pretty much, yeah.

6. Yes, next question.

7. Yes. Thats how Musk has sold all his goods and services. Always has, always will.

8. narrator: yes

9. Is either incompetence… Or disinformation… Or probably both at the same time tbh

10. Yes. And until I get independent verification that anything they say is true I will continue to no believe that we are saving a single dollar.

11. They actually know that the target audience won’t care. The Republican base will believe anything, literally, as long as it aligns with their bias.

12. The know that nobody really cares, I mean voting a molestor into the office of the president shows that they dont care

13. We should just measure their progress in how much the debt decreases so we net out all the complications in the middle.

14. Yes. And we’re noticing.

15. Y. Also E and S

16. I don’t think they give a shit if anyone notices.

17. I mean, that is how Elon runs all his organizations, so yes.

18. Do you always ask questions to which u know the answer already?

19. Why would Republican voters start fact checking now? They just believe anything Trump and Elon tell them to.

20. Without a doubt. I’d love to see what I’ve saved so far for this year? Probably like 3 dollars for all this chaos. 

21. IMO, Musk, like Trump, should be considered a prolific liar. All statements siting data should be assumed to be a lie until proven true by an independent 3rd party.
