DOGE Makes Its Latest Errors Harder to Find
Elon Musk’s group obscured the details of some new claims on its website, despite promises of transparency. But The Times was still able to detect another batch of mistakes.
Mr. Musk’s group posted a new set of claims to its website on March 2, saying it had saved taxpayers $10 billion by terminating 3,489 federal grants.
Previously when it posted new claims, DOGE, Mr. Musk’s government-restructuring effort, had included identifying details about the cuts it took credit for. That allowed the public to fact-check its work by comparing its figures with federal spending databases and talking to the groups whose funding had been cut.
This time, it did not include those details. A White House official said that was done for security purposes.
The result was that the group’s new claims appeared impossible to check. The New York Times, at first, found a way around the group’s obfuscation. That is because Mr. Musk’s group had briefly embedded the federal identification numbers of these grants in the publicly available source code. The Times used those numbers to match DOGE’s claims with reality, and to discover that they contained the same kind of errors that it had made in the past. Mr. Musk’s group later removed those identifiers from the code, and posted more batches of claims that could not be verified at all.
I guess that's one solution to the error problem...
Had we not been so fussy about testing for COVID far fewer Americans would have come down with COVID.

You did it again. Did I ask for what Trump said? I am asking for YOU to make a case. All you do is hide behind other people's words.Blackvegetable » 13 Mar 2025, 11:23 am » wrote: ↑ You are so **** g'ddammned stupid...
In a June 15 tweet, President Trump said testing “makes us look bad.” At his campaign rally in Tulsa five days later, he said he had asked his “people” to “slow the testing down, please.” At a White House press conference last week, he told reporters, “When you test, you create cases.”

Now, try again. YOUR THOUGHTS ONLY! **** your copy/pasted ****. YOUR THOUGHTS ONLY.
Or else, I am correct again: No thoughts, etc...copy/paste.
1. gee I wonder if he will hide behind someone else's thoughts again. never any thoughts of his own. Ever.

Coward. Moron.
So a copout. Just what I thought. Instead of coming up with some intelligent thoughts, you hide behind your age-old tactic of "I wouldn't understand."Blackvegetable » 13 Mar 2025, 11:54 am » wrote: ↑ Allusion is higher level thought, whether or not you understand it.
The fact that you don't is further, entirely reduntant, evidence that you're a moron
1. Your OP/Claim, your job.
2. I will not entertain your stalking
3. If I am a moron, then you lost 7 times to one, so what does that make you?
4. Hides.
5. Mistake vs Lie/ Prove you answered it the first time/ "not a penny" LIE LIE LIE!
6. **** your questions/demands , or 3k greenies.
7. Biden's survivorship bias skewed the "net" result.
8. Level 0
9. Still no thoughts
10. Video
11. Hides behind copy/pasted ****. Still no intelligent thoughts.
12. Evades.
13. Turns it around on others.
14. Projecting
15. lie
There are more, but this will do for now.

So boring.
Oh and of course: 3, 9, 12. All your posts can be summed up in this list. Predictable POS.
So, you are so special that you don't have to make cases for your allusion that has nothing to do with your OP. Your OP is about Musk's transparency, but then you hop over to Trump and COVID. Yet, you know damn well that you would demand everybody else to explain.Blackvegetable » 13 Mar 2025, 12:00 pm » wrote: ↑ The allusion IS my own .

As always, the rules don't apply to the forum narcissist.
1. Continue to hide behind the "you wouldn't understand". copout.
