“Corrupt politicians and bureaucrats are panicking. O, the prospect of any significant shrinking of the federal behemoth! Any significant rooting out of the corruption that benefits them. … Many combat this horror by flinging every fallacy in the book. Like the notion that Elon Musk and his team are unqualified. They ask, is Musk a certified public accountant? He’s only a mega-successful serial entrepreneur, not an accountant.” [editor’s note: “Serial entrepreneur?” More like “corporate welfare queen.” Direct beneficiaries of spending are not normally put in charge of auditing said spending – TLK] (02/27/25)
