  1. I appreciate the ability to comment. Let's not forget the Obamacare website cost taxpayers over 2 billion dollars for a unresponsive web interface.

    1. That thing was a mess. I remember it well. I even said I could have done a better job.

  2. Great Article Mashable. Way to show support for wasting tax dollars. Ignorance. It’s suppose to be messy. The overspending itself is a mess.

    1. Please educate yourself on what is truly going on. President Elon and Trump's goal is to cut your federal services in order to cut the taxes of the richest 1% of individuals and corporations. He is not doing the average American any favors. This is coming from a Republican who regretfully voted for Trump

  3. Good. Who cares. Love you Trump and Elon.

  5. Hey look. No one cares. We all want transparency and they are giving exactly that. The people have spoken. This doesn't end well for the ignorant.

  6. A terrible article with the references being cited failing to reflect the argument even being made. The “22,000 deaths” links to an article that doesn’t even mention deaths. Blatant failure in journalism.

    1. The article did cite the deaths.

  7. So the story is they made a domain name? And the rest of the article is just some random Australian’s opinion. Why should we care what they think? She probably never has even been to the US

  8. 22,000 deaths in 2019? THIS is what is wrong with the Media, OMG!!

    1. Lots probably but Trump sold his soul to Musk for campaign funds. Musk owns Trump all just because the baby man wanted to sit behind the desk again and pretend that he knows everything about everything. Mr. Trump is now President Musks lady of the night.

  22. So take down helpful websites that assist people and put your; non working, tax payer costing, embarrassment up!
    That’s a saving for sure.

    So there’s ‘waste’ and there is your waste!
    Right I got you.

    Most embarrassing White House session ever.
    Musk lauding it over the ‘President’
    The President who meekly and resign-ably sits there.

    The kid who has no right to be there, mouthing to Trump what we all think!

    Musk grandstanding explaining to us his version of democracy and how he’ll apply it!
    What could be better

    1. Lol the 404 page is still showing nav and footer elements:
      https://waste.gov/access#

      Search is also still active:
      https://waste.gov/?s=history

      Still on the out-of-the-box twentytwentyfour theme

      Dev team is killing it.

      Edit: Even funnier, it looks like they're using Elementor. Holy fuck, Elon, get a grip. This is genuinely worse than a marketing staff member Googling "How to make a WordPress website" and building/launching the site with a two-hour time limit.

    2. $100 on the Dev team being sourced to some Indian dude on upwork. Because America first
