Summary
Elon Musk, co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency under Donald Trump’s advisory team, revised his claim of finding $2 trillion in federal budget cuts to a “best-case outcome” of $1 trillion.
Musk’s earlier target, dismissed as unrealistic by experts, had included the entire discretionary budget of $1.7 trillion.
While Musk and co-lead Vivek Ramaswamy plan to recommend cuts, specifics remain unclear.
Experts warn savings may require targeting mandatory programs like Medicaid, potentially causing hardships.

Yes. Leon often prices merch at $69.

I wish I could have lived in your world these past 10 years. I mean that (mostly) sincerely.
I kind of wish he could have lived out his life in that world.
Yes he does. Right now they are all virtually MAGA as well. They believe Leon can do no wrong and believe that all the MAGAs are going to buy Tesla now.
Correct me if I’m wrong. I was under the impression that a substantial part of MAGAs are climate change deniers and gasoline bros who drive huge trucks and SUVs. Now they all want teslas? I’m confused.
a. they don’t all want the Teslas, the ones that have had them, think all the other MAGAS want them. b. These are fanbois that were always first to say “I didn’t buy my Tesla for the environmental stuff, …”
