Where I disagree is that they don't have the capability to determine where the money goes. Someone has to write a check for every dollar spent, but I suspect that the reason they "can't" is because there is intentional obfuscation to hide the fuckery.
I never thought I'd be on this side of the argument against a liberal that DoD should be able to pass an audit. I would have thought that this would be an easy thing for us to agree on against the neo-cons and corrupt war mongers on the right.
I understand the argument that Elon's "move fast and break things" approach is not the way we should be going about it. I also agree that Elon has a lot of potential for conflicts of interest. But it's because of "we can't tell you where the money went" that Elon is now involved.
