    American spends the majority of its money on its worldwide spanning military

    That’s not true:

    The US spends more on healthcare, education and social security, and Elon “Sieg Heil” Musk sure is going after those.

    It’s not that he’s failing to cut spending: firing federal employees right and left and destroying federal agencies WILL yield savings. What’s not taken into account here is that it will also yield a disaster.

    In other words, he’s curing the patient by killing the patient. But technically, he’s curing the patient I guess.

          Yikes! Yeah, that’s disinformation. It needs to be taken down.

          That pie chart is sourced from a commercial (.com) site that claims it obtained its data from another .com site, and does not remotely represent the information on the congressional budgetary government (.gov) website. It falsely claims $1.7T spending on education, which is the entire annual discretionary budget. The only way that could be possible is if the US spent no money on defense for a year.
