Could there be a conflict of interest?

It says it’s for cyber security defense.  What would be the conflict of interest?

Yes, Trump is accountable for the actions of everything under his time.  That is irrelevant to the the claim of this spending being wasteful.  Wasteful spending has been bipartisan.  The dunking is on EVERYONE who is against transparency and waste reduction.  Those complaining the loudest happen to be libs.

Back to the question, could there be conflict of interest?

Well I just asked you what are you saying the conflict of interest would be for a cyber security contract?

Fair enough, you're more reasonable than the majority in this thread then. I'd say there could be a conflict of interest, depending on how the organization is set up. They could be influenced by the government to report as the government wants in order to avoid harming their pocket books. Ruins journalistic integrity. But, conglomerates like this dip their toes in everything they can make a buck on these days, so may need to regulate them more than anything.

And even if there is a conflict of interest, that’s completely different than “taxpayers are paying for social deception!!” lol

Now this is something I'm actually down for. Get Elon's ass out the way.
