The Consumer Protection Bureau (CPFB) that oversees financing protocols that protects consumers and the government from fraud and unfair practices of usury is one the first things to be eliminated by Elon Musk. Now his government contracts won’t be scrutinized or regulated. Grift.
Elon Musk called Wednesday for the elimination of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, one of the nation’s most powerful watchdog agencies, signaling it could be scrapped as part of a planned review of government spending ordered by President-elect Donald Trump.
Elon Musk wants to ‘delete’ federal financial watchdog as ‘DOGE’ begins work

Apparently, the low bar for confirmation would be: Your mother didn't denounce you, you don't have sexual abuse/crimes/accusations pending, you don't recite Putin talking points, you don't believe Earth is flat and other inane lies. Several Trump nominees appear to fail even that
