DOGE and Musk don't understand placeholder birthdays, or that you can get default date for a null entry. So everything must be fraud because the system is always accurate, just like AI, right?
Also this had some interesting bits of info in it: https://archive.is/2025.04.24-13464...n-wwe-style-blow-up-between-musk-and-bessent/
Like at the very end it mentions that Musk can only work 130 days in the year as a "government employee"

I am fairly sure there are none.
More than 50 House Democrats demand answers after whistleblower report on DOGE
How it'll likely play out:
Democrats: "We demand answers!"
Republicans: "No."
Democrats: "Okay then, sorry to bother you, thank you for your time." (to constituents) *shrug* "Well, we tried!"

You'd think he could afford to pay someone to write jokes for him.
Who says he didn't, you saw the kids he payed to join DOGE....
You'd think he could afford to pay someone to write good jokes for him.
They couldn't come up with anything stupider than real life.
It's the same problem the onion is facing, really. Hard to be sarcastic when things are so jive: might as well just report the actual news.
Elon Musk's X lost 11 million users in the EU over the past 5 months
Millions of people in France and Germany have left X, according to X itself.

tl;dr Twitter released their EU-required transparency report and lost more than 11 million monthly users over the past 5 months in the EU, putting them below pre-Musk levels. Frankly surprised it was ever above that level...
Presumably, some people (I'd use another word, but it probably violates board rules) came on board precisely because he was taking over... but yeah, I'm surprised that it ever rose above his starting point. I know I wasn't alone in leaving back when first word that he was likely going to buy it came through, and even more left when it became official.
DOGE Put a College Student in Charge of Using AI to Rewrite Regulations
A DOGE operative has been tasked with using AI to propose rewrites to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s regulations—an effort sources are told will roll out across government.
Proof that they don't understand how regulations work... then again maybe they do, considering my last point below.
The regulation is just a "Here's how you real-world implement this law that was passed" and if they try to take a case to court with a regulation that is improperly written, the court will just send them back to rewrite it. There is even a level of judicial review before it can even be entered into the books, as called out in the article. And with how AI makes mistakes all the time, it's just going to make it harder on the enforcing agencies and on the companies, since the companies will have to spend extra to try to reach complaince(because lack of a regulation doesn't mean the statue doesn't exist, let alone incorrect regulations possibly causing them to violate it in the first place), AND the agencies are going to have a lot of cases thrown out because of incorrect regulation, though that latter part may be considered a feature by some, rather than a bug.
On the other hand, they're smart enough at least to have existing staff read through it for mistakes... but we'll see if they try to override them.
