Ok so I have a question dying to know! How is “President Elon” able to see financial reports for top secret agencies! Does he have full security clearance? Or does that not matter in with this administration!
Not only does it not matter, but Big Tech IS Trump. I’m feeling like a crazy lady getting people to read this interview with Marc Andressen (he’s part of Big Tech too) and the NYT in which he basically lays out their game plan and rationale. The Spark notes version:
1. Big Tech used to be filled with Dem supporters but during Obama’s second term they began to lose a little faith because their workforces became harder and harder to control. Too much protest and pronouns and not enough work getting done.
2. Then the pandemic came and workforces got even harder to reign in (work from home run amok). Big Tech was even less happy.
3. Then - and this is the real pivot point - AI and Crypto became the new Gold Rush and Big Tech wanted to invest and grow and cash in but the Dems said “for national security reasons both need to be regulated”. SNAP. Big Tech was done with the Dems. And to hear Andressen talk about it is chilling. They went full tilt Trump in helping him get re-elected.
4. Meanwhile, the EU has already slapped a bunch of internet regulations on through DSA and Big Tech wants to see it undone. This is where the tariffs come in (but now I’m getting ahead of Andressen).
I have been saying for a while now, but I don’t think all of these people are Trump’s puppets. I think he is someone else’s puppet and maybe this is it , eh? I can’t read the article as I don’t have a prescription, but I’m gonna hunt it down. Thank you for the reference.
Yes! Last term he had a bunch of fringe oddballs as his puppets and he was all over the board. This time? It’s a well choreographed horror movie with Big Tech as executive producer. And for me the scariest thing of all is that they run our press and free speech through the platforms they control.
Sharon, you are part of a team of patriots whose services will be pivotal in recovering from the current chaos that will cause irreparable damage to our Great American Experiment. But, what we can salvage and rebuild depends on information that cuts through all the noise and enables each of us to become more effective citizens than would otherwise be possible. Maintaining our Republic, as Ben Franklin noted so long ago, is up to us. Never has that premise been tested as it is now.
Thank you for your service. You don't need a uniform to deserve that accolade.
Just a thought. I used to work for the Navy monitoring shipbuilding programs. I was provided data dumps from the shipbuilders systems. What I found was an unacceptable amount of dirty data. Uncorrected errors that creep into large data sets can skew analysis. Since it seems that the governments systems are antiquated it might not be a bad idea to get some people to perform some data hygiene on these payment systems. Since, from what I'm reading that all the agencies data flow up to treasury that might be the best place to spot discrepancies. Don't know how integrated the agencies systems are with the treasury system. Although the press makes it sound bad I'm not ready to hit the panic button just yet. Musk does not have the power to impound funding or to stop payments but if there are errors and it is most likely there are it would be beneficial to correct them.
That is a very naive take. By your assumptions Musk should not even have the access to begin with. And yet, here we are! He is actually sharing and publishing classified data from the Dept of Treasury. Wait and watch for March 15th to see how payments disappear for all federal funding that actually serves and matters to the US citizens.
What evidence do you have that he is publishing the data? I have not heard that. But it is pretty common for the government to hire outside contractors to do things like data processing. As far as funding goes there might be a government shutdown if no budget get passed and the debt ceiling doesn't get raised but that is a separate issue for Congress.

The bottom line is this. When you look at Trump through the lens of a Big Tech takeover it all makes sense. Judge for yourself: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/opinion/marc-andreessen-trump-silicon-valley.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
Interesting scope!!

I am small, but sending mighty thanks to my state attorney general for her part in opposing the freezing of all federal spending this week.
Love The Dispatch. Love Sarah. Really looking forward to that listen. Is it weird that I was hoping for a Preamble/Dispatch overlap and I got it?!? 💛
Thank you Sharon for making it easier for me to focus on the important events!❤️

Go to Elon’s account on X. He is sharing info there from the treasury.
