Summary
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, leading Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” are pushing for $2 trillion in federal budget cuts, which could target Social Security and Medicare.
While they claim to streamline government, critics argue billionaires like Musk and Ramaswamy are unaffected by these cuts, which could harm ordinary Americans who depend on these programs.
Despite Trump’s repeated promises to protect Social Security, skepticism remains over whether these cuts will influence Congress, where voter opposition to reducing benefits is strong.
Critics call the department’s influence limited but politically concerning.
So this guy is “ceo” of space x, Tesla, and twitter and now he’s running a play project that covers the entire government? This man must be the most useless scattered inefficient grifter in the world.
He seems to be a very efficient grifter, actually…
Get a little from multiple sources instead of a bunch from one.
I mean inefficient and a grifter. I’m well aware of how good at grifting he is
Don’t forget his role in the founding of the Boring Company, xAI, Neuralink, and OpenAI.
He must have the most surface level understanding of each of these things. I suspect he does very little and is there purely for show. Other informed people are the actual leaders, musk is simply a side show for the public.
