I'm pretty convinced that he's running a SQL query like `select * from transactions where recipient like '%gaza%'`, grabbing the first item that looks suspicious, doing absolutely no research on what that item actually was, and then typing out the first thoughts he could about it on twitter.

Frankly, something DOGE has shown me is how lazy Musk is. I know he's the CEO of like twenty companies, but if what he's doing with DOGE is any indication, he has absolutely no attention to detail and is completely averse to actually learning or understanding what he's talking about. Like, every effort in DOGE is coming off as decidedly half-assed.

It makes me glad I don't own a Tesla, because I would be terrified to see what kind of corners they cut, and how much of it would end up being completely half-baked and not ready to actually be used. I'm not completely convinced that NASA contracting out to SpaceX is a good idea anymore either.
