Raise your hand if you favor the role of Inspectors General to monitor government agencies.
If you embrace corruption and fraud, be happy Trump 2.0 has fired them all.

Obviously they were not doing a good job.

Uhm…isn’t it a standard for any decent sized agency to have one?

You seem to be having a hard time dealing with this election lose, I hope and pray you find
Peace soon.
Did he eliminate the positions?
Or fire the incompetent and/or corrupt ones?
Incompetent? Corrupt? Or do you mean diligent potential whistleblowers to thwart corruption?
Trump learned from his first Impeachment to eliminate any possible impediments to his corrupt or unlawful agenda.
But, feel free to trust Elon.

See cheeks reply right below.
If we have I.G.'s to monitor this stuff, how are we throwing away so much taxpayer money?
See my reply to him. Here's another example of congressional oversight:
I disagree about "outsourced" authority.
He has no authority to fire these employees. He's making recommendations. If you want to be angry at Trump for listening, have at it. But we're over $30 Trillion in debt. We HAVE to get rid of waste. And if we identify part of its source as incompetence and mismanagement, actions should be taken. The same people that got us in this hole aren't ones who are going to lead us out of it. I say that not to point a partisan finger at anyone - I don't care what party they belong to, if they've presided over waste and done nothing about it, they need to be gone.
If IGs were doing their jobs, we wouldn't need DOGE.
Elon could be busy working on a mission to Mars or something.
Have you ever heard of Congressional Oversight Committees?
Inspectors General testify before Congress. The hearings are public. The hearings are recorded. The hearings include testimony and exhibits. The witness is asked questions by elected members of Congress from each party.
This process feeds into the constitutional power of Congress to control the purse. Below is an example of an EPA oversight committee in action questioning an Inspector General.
To be clear, you have endorsed a different process -- where the taxpayers' purse can be outsourced to a super wealthy donor to the Party in power, who can unilaterally make spending cuts and fire federal employees without public hearings, without cause, and without any check on this donor's power or conflicts of interest. It is exactly what you have endorsed.
If the system is working so well, how are we $36T in debt?
If the system is working so well, why did people elect Trump despite not liking him?
With another 4 trillion in debt ceiling space being requested by your dear leader.

They've had plenty of time to blow their whistles.
