The man who brought you Tesla, StarLink, SpaceX, Neuralink, X.com, and other norm-breaking companies is now the target of screeching, hysterical harpies hyping the Democrat narrative that Elon Musk has no right to put eyes on any government documents. Sure, ladies, sure. Head pat.
They accuse Elon Musk of “hacking” government documents. They accuse him of stealing your social security number from the IRS. Indeed, the world’s richest man is “getting access to the sensitive federal payment system!” Musk, who’s working for free to save the government money, is going to steal your money! “Elon Musk is rooting around highly sensitive data, and he might not even have been properly vetted,” they fretted.
And he’s unelected to boot.
I can understand that an unelected bureaucrat’s finger in the government pie might be worrisome. I worried a lot when the elected Barack Obama put organizations out of business that dared call for the end of government profligacy back in 2012. I worried when the elected Joe Biden hired 87,000 unelected IRS police armed with guns to collect taxes.
But how galling is it that an unelected person — an unvetted billionaire! — saves the American public money? How dare he pull the nation from the brink of insolvency and stop in its tracks the forever inflation caused by the unelected Cloward Piven-inspired spending by Dementia Joe’s unelected presidential stand-ins.
So concerned with the idea that Elon Musk is getting a look at sensitive government documents that Democrats that Nancy Pelosi and her flying monkeys have proposed a bill they call “The Taxpayer Data Protection Act.” It will “prevent Elon Musk and his minions from accessing the private data of everyday Americans to serve their own interests” and “stop people with conflicts of interest or without a security clearance from accessing the highly sensitive Treasury Department payment system.” This, of course, is according to the woman whose insider information has turned her from a thousandaire to a multimillionaire over the decades for being a “public servant.”
And, as usual, Nancy’s wrong. She and her fellow screamers can harp and howl at the moon, but chances are that Elon Musk isn’t looking at anyone’s private information — and regarding a security clearance? Well, has she stopped to smell herself?
