Have you ever loved a subject? That's accounting for me. I never thought I'd like it, but now, its like, one of the only things I really feel I'm good at, and trust me when I tell you there are not too many subjects where I feel I have actual skill naturally. #Accounting

Tesla (TSLA) accounting raises red flags as report shows $1.4 billion missing
electrek.co/2025/03/19/tesla-t

"Many #Tesla shorts and detractors have questioned Tesla’s #accounting for years...

Today, the #FinancialTimes has released a new report pointing to a $1.4 billion gap in assets...

The report also points to other red flags...

but with #Trump and #Musk kneecapping the #SEC, repercussions are unlikely."

DOGE Is Not Here to Help With Your Taxes

The financial #data of millions of #Americans is at risk as #Musk and his "team" bring their unlawful breaches of privacy to the IRS
contrarian.substack.com/p/doge

"the #Privacy Act and the #IRS tax privacy laws were enacted in the 1970s...

If a private sector #accounting or #tax preparation firm behaved this way, they would (rightly) get dragged into #court by their customers."

DOGE's disastrous accounting
muskwatch.com/p/doges-disastro

"the #data was littered w/duplicate entries, data errors, & items that demonstrated a fundamental misunderstanding of the federal contracting process...

an analysis of the data... actual savings that #DOGE has documented is about $2.6 billion... less than 5% of the claimed total of $55 billion.

...What follows is a selection of the most egregious #accounting errors committed by DOGE."

#Musk#Trump#Coup
Continued thread

While the #DOGE team has cut some number of dollars, its slapdash #accounting adds to a pattern of #recklessness, which has recently gained access to sensitive govt payment systems.

Some contracts…were double or triple counted. Another initially contained an error that inflated the totals by billions. In at least 1 instance, the group claimed an entire contract had been canceled when only part of the work was halted. In others, contracts it said it had closed were actually ended under #Biden.

Haha @pluralistic has a 5 mins video to pitch for the latest Martin Hench book. At 1 minute I was like "yep, I'm definitely sold". At 1'40" I was like "OK ENOUGH ALREADY I'M HITTING THE 'SUPPORT THIS' BUTTON". Marty Hench is a hero for the(se) ages. And the religion angle? I had not seen THAT one coming.

I admire Cory not just for his novels, but also for his ability to build trust in his readers.

@mircoxi it should not be a fineable offense, because a fine means it's only illegal for small/"poor" corporations.

It's the #HR equivalent of #MarkToMarketAccounting...

  • They should be obligated to fill an advertised vacancy and evidence it!

A statistician, an economist & an accountant apply for a job & are asked to analyse the firm's accounts. At the interview they are asked whether the firm is profitable?

The statistician: 'yes, you made £3.56m profit';

The economist: 'well, I'm pretty sure you made a profit, but not so clear on quite how much';

The accountant: 'Well before I answer, first let me ask you: do you want to make a profit?'
