"maximally transparent" at recording what they want, when they want with no oversight. The court cases will go on for longer than this term anyway, and it looks like the courts have already blocked them from accessing treasury records.

"maximally transparent" gotta be meme'd
He makes Trump look completely sane and rational in comparison.
After dismantling the judiciary the liberal press is going to be next. I think we have about a year left before they start calling to take the press registrations from outlets that are critical of the current administration and the courts at this point won't be able to stop it.
Seems like he's trying really hard to imitate Trump in coherence and senility.
I dunno, Trumps constant meltdowns on Truth are a level of delusion that is terrifying to me that it got normalised.
Instigated by the self declared peoples champion of free speech? Surely not.
Soon all that will be left will be X, which will put people off, and we'll all go back to learning about things through a town crier once a week outside the local market.
Musk has never been free speech. At least not if the free speech was critical of him.
Nah, that can't be right, as he has repeatedly described himself as a freeze peach absolutist, so I'm afraid you're wrong here, mate.
Can you imagine OF ads and samples on the local market? Wives around the world will be baffled by their husbands suddenly going for groceries with a smile on their faces.
They are going to ban and outlaw OF though.
Suddenly bringing his kid with him everywhere seems like a pretty transparent publicity play. “Look at me, I’m just a regular guy not a Nazi lizard person”.
I'm probably braindead but why the "government" wouldn't use a popular and useful programming language? Is he dumber than I thought or am I the idiot?
Theres literally zero chance some government department somewhere isn't using sql. Maybe in this particular instance they're not but it sounds a dumb statement taken at face value.
Outright calling people ableist slurs. I hate that word and I hate how it’s made a resurgence.
he's such a fecking weirdo
the SQL thing is so obviously a lie but he couldn't help himself
the SQL thing is so obviously a lie but he couldn't help himself
Musk says he doesn’t think he can get away with it and that he expects to scrutinized. Unless he does a Nazi salute I suppose.
I mean, go ahead and try to ruin a joke.
You're going to need DOGE approval to make jokes.
It's definitely using COBOL.
Edit:
I should probably explain. The vast majority of digital financial transaction systems in the US were created 60 years ago and run on mainframes. Mainframes are designed to handle billions of simple calculations - but are not very flexible. They have excellent uptime and almost never encounter write errors. When they programmed these mainframes 60/70 years ago they used a state of the art programming language developed by the US DOD known as COBOL. Today it is considered legacy, as it receives no updates. It is not very versatile, but it does simple operations exceprionally well. That also makes it very stable.
As computers developed, IBM also improved mainframes to handle more data, but rewriting a system that "works" into new code that might not work, is expensive and risky. There are also dozens of machines (ATMs) and other systems that are old and that also were written in COBOL. It is highly reliable), so the cost of changing it is simply too great. Because of that COBOL systems have simply been maintained for 60/70 years. It works, it is secure and it does that one thing very well.
A new problem is that very few young programmers know COBOL - it is very much an old man's game.

It's using COBOL but I don't see any scenario where the government doesn't also use SQL and other programs. In fact I just looked it up and as an example the OIT does use SQL.
Yeah surely the government has a myriad of systems, some of which use SQL.
Oh most definitely. It would be strange if they didn't.
Which makes me wonder why does he lie that much? Or maybe he isn't lying and he is clueless? I struggle between the idea that he is so full of himself that he lies about everything or the idea that he is incredibly ignorant about so many topics that he influences nonetheless.
He has a consistent history of absolutely losing his shit when anyone questions his expertise or authority. That should probably be the default assumption at this point.
He probably thinks he knows everything, especially when his mummy is calling him the "genius of the world".
The Twitter stack debacle being an example. Listening to him gave me second hand embarrassment.
Not just that but the optics of having a goofy cap on your head INSIDE THE FECKING OVAL OFFICE. If Obama or some significant Dem ally was shown this way it would be breaking news and lead story on all the hate talk radio and media shows - "Democrat in disrespecting the Oval Office!" would be the lead headline on Hannity.

If that was George Soros, they would have filed impeachments articles. It's all projection. They want to do what they accuse democrats of doing. It's their entire ideology, announce that democrats are doing make believe evil shit and then when you get in to power start saying "well they did it, so we will".

But I do agree with Altman on one thing: Musk does look unhappy. And at the end of the day as much as I disagree with Elon Musk I just really want to see a permanent smile on him, one that goes from ear to ear.
*I edited the word porn out because unless you are a Musk guy you probably don't want that phrase around.

will anything happen to this guy or is he above the law?
He is the law
As long as the President is a felon, none of his minions are under any threat unless they are dispensable.
America well and truly in the mud...... where do things go from here eh?
Nowhere good.
I'd be watching with curiosity and even some amusement were it not for the non-trivial risk that these idiots wreck the entire world.
I'm hoping the rest of the world are learning valuable lessons from this US decent into madness
