I've seen about a dozen of these "GOTCHA!" posts in the past few days, ranging from COBOL epochs to SQL types and queries to FoxPro internals to "it's all on paper in a cavern". People are desperate to have something shiny to show off to their friends and in most cases, they're really not concerned if it's true or not, just that it's plausible enough to gain social cred. In the end, it accomplishes nothing when it comes to the actual functioning of DOGE but I'm sure there are lots of up votes gained.
Most of all I haven't seen any of the federal employees working directly on this application backing up this "billionaire dumb" speculation. They all hate Musk and haven't been shy about bashing him for other reasons; why aren't they jumping on this?
Ah, yes, the very safe endeavor of publicly criticizing a group of powerful people known for open revenge on their critics. I’m sure folks are lining up to be the first.
As Morgan Freeman put it in The Dark Knight:
Lucius Fox: [to Reese] Let me get this straight, you think that your client, one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante, who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands, and your plan is to blackmail this person?

They are. There are endless tweets about this bashing him. Pics of park rangers, wildland firefighter losing their jobs and blaming trump publicly. People resigning because of it. Like I said:

And then you quote a comic book movie? What's next, quote the Matrix or something?
