The Federal government computers & software are in such bad shape that they often cannot verify that payments are not fraud, waste or abuse! That’s why the government can’t pass basic audits. They often LITERALLY don’t know where your tax dollars went. It’s insane. My preferred title in the new administration is Volunteer IT Consultant. Need to fix the IT infrastructure in order to make government work. This is a grind & hardly glorious, but we can’t make government efficient & fix the deficit if the computers don’t work.

Try @Starlink for awesome Internet everywhere!
Elon Musk has just confirmed that Starlink remains critical to Ukraine’s defense, but it is a civilian commercial service and should not be used for offensive drone strikes to kill people. SpaceX closed a loophole enabling those strikes last week. Starshield is a separate system controlled by the US government. Starlink was crucial in the early days of the war and remains essential to Ukraine’s front line. “SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.” Elon helped keep Ukraine connected in its darkest hours. That is an extraordinary contribution, and he deserves enormous respect and gratitude for it. Standing by his principles while pushing for an end to the killing shows real courage and leadership.
JUST IN: Elon Musk reveals Tesla is building an “Optimus Academy” where thousands of humanoid robots will practice real-world tasks, learning from their mistakes to continuously improve.
