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.
This doesn’t look good for Elon. Lucky for him that he’s the president.
Doesn’t matter his fan base will eat it up
He has a fan base?
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.
Yup. It keeps him from falling over from all of the blowing.
Who’s blowing whom?
Yes. Leon often prices merch at $69.
Exactly.
First day on the Internet?
Yes I’m just learning about this guy. Doesn’t seem like the type of bloke who would have fans.
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.
