    KW> Musk's companies have received 38 Billion dollars worth of subsidies out   
    KW> of the US government over the past several years, and as the head of   
    KW> DOGE, he's influencing other department's purchases. For every $400   
    KW> million "armored Tesla Cybertruck" purchase/unwanted vehicle dump that's   
      
   Subsidies for what though?   
      
   And what is this $400 million dollar deal? That needs more explaining.   
      
    KW> exposed, there are others - like the FAA ditching Verizon for Starlink,   
    KW> Musk advising the firing of air traffic controllers, then bringing in   
    KW> SpaceX personnel to "save" the FAA - asll of which personally benefit   
    KW> Musk and are illegal given his position in the government - which is why   
    KW> they "promoted" Amy Gleason, a woman with no involvement as head of   
    KW> DOGE.   
      
   What is $2.4 billon dollars to a guy who is worth $359.4 billion? What are the   
   advantages of Starlink vs Verizon? My understanding is that Starlink will   
   provide the FAA with significantly better coverage than Verizon, and better   
   coverage falls under the definition of "efficiency."   
      
   I'm finding on internet searches (not like it's the gospel) that "Musk has   
   received over $20 billion in contracts and tax breaks," but tax breaks aren't   
   illegal, and neither are contracts. How are contracts like the Starlink deal   
   illegal?   
      
    KW> Trump is already bought - he's still afloat financially because of   
    KW> Russian influence going back to the 1980s, but he gets to gouge American   
      
   How is Trump influenced by Russia? Trump was not even a member of government   
   until 2017. Russia didn't invade Ukraine until Obama was president (2000s.)   
      
    KW> Taking the term "profit" figuratively, Trump has used his position to   
    KW> stall the legal system, appointed cabinet members and senior officials   
    KW> who have ended investigations (or shut down entire departments) with   
    KW> actions against Trump and Musk and pursued vendettas against those he's   
    KW> gone up against.   
      
   As president, Trump is allowed to appoint whoever he wants. Who should decide   
   who the president appoints if not the president himself?   
      
    KW> I'd have a hard time believing that the US government selling the Nancy   
    KW> Pelosi building in San Francisco then leasing it back at a profit to the   
    KW> buyer was an entirely financial move.   
      
   That's another story I'm not familiar with. It's local news for you. What's up   
   with it? By the way you described it, it sounds like a profitable thing for   
   the government to do.
