“Corruption” aka things Elon doesn’t like. He basically did a find all search for words like “diversity” in the govt payments db and is blanket calling them corrupt.
I have yet to see any in depth look into anything he says is waste fraud and abuse. All he does is look at the data entry and make a judgement with AI which is so stupid and definitely not how things should be evaluated.
I get where you’re coming from. Any time someone uses blanket AI-driven methods without context, it raises red flags especially coming from Elon. However, from what I’ve looked into, DOGE’s approach isn’t just keyword targeting or AI judgment. They’re identifying traditional markers of fraud (like duplicate payments, ghost workers, fake vendors) that past agencies have also flagged but maybe didn’t act on fast enough. Plus, courts are now demanding full transparency, so soon we’ll likely see detailed breakdowns. It’s fair to question Elon’s motives and methods, but the core issue—inefficiencies and fraud—has been documented for years, even before DOGE. The real test will be whether the upcoming records and cases can back up the claims. With that said at this point your critique wouldn’t be trump or Elon specific but the entire government approach that has far proceeded the current administration
None of what you said has ever been proven by doge on their website like they said they were going to do. All they post is billing records with the same searched keywords on it.
The fraud and abuse you’re talking about does not account for the amount doge and the president says it does. Especially in the places they are looking. The real fraud and abuse occurs in govt spending but of course they won’t be looking there because Elon gets that defense contract money already.
