>Ads running the Super Bowl showing some of the outrageous theft are however going to be hard to ignore.

I was unaware of this. Searching around I see: "Musk Rumoured to Spend 40M on 5 Doge SuperBowl Ads"

Feel free to provide a better citation. This could be groundbreaking.

There's no reason to think that anything you've said here is true. Some sort of actual evidence would go a long way, but nobody's been giving any.

Thanks for the clarification. This is why I love browsing and reading HN - insightful comments that provide context, clarification as well as back them up with sources.

This is some insane spin. Most of these "facts" are coming directly from Musk (a consistent liar) and Trump (a consistent liar who tried to overthrow the last election). Stop ingesting partisan media — it is evidently rotting your brain.

> Note that DOGE announced today they'd go try to clawback hundreds of billions of funds stolen by corrupt officials.

And I can announce that I'm the President of Earth. Every time Musk posts some "evidence" of "corruption" on Twitter, it turns out to be a blatant lie based on surface level details, e.g. all the shrieking about Lutheran charities and Politico subscriptions which turned out to be a massive mischaracterization of those expenses. (This behavior goes back to the nothingburger Twitter Files. Same exact strategy: the headline is what matters.)

> Of course the leftist media will carefully spin their stories to not mention the gigantic amount of fraud (both stolen funds and stolen elections) already uncovered by DOGE.

What leftist media? 75% of the MSM is owned by Republicans and oligarchs. Where are the receipts, the evidence? Why should I trust a 19 year old hacker to determine whether something is a legitimate expenditure or not? Is anybody experienced actually auditing this team?

> It's no coincidence that the only states where the dems won in 2024 are those that not require any voter ID.

Are you seriously suggesting that Republicans ought to be winning 100% of the country? Do I really need to explain to you why this is absurd?

> I actually don't know why anyone would be against this.

Because they're lying in service of accruing dictatorial power. If you take things sociopaths tell you at face value, you will find yourself led around by the nose.
