Summary
The White House scrambled to clarify comments from Elon Musk suggesting cuts to Social Security and Medicare, insisting no such plans exist.
Musk, speaking on Fox Business, criticized entitlement spending, sparking viral backlash. Trump’s administration defended Musk and attacked journalist Jake Sherman for misrepresenting his remarks.
Officials cited reports on fraud and waste but claimed benefits would remain intact. Elon Musk has repeatedly criticized Social Security, labeling it a “Ponzi scheme.”
Critics fear Trump could use fraud reduction efforts as a pretext for cuts despite his assurances otherwise.
I wonder who is manipulating whom here…is Trump really in control of Musk? Or is the dog walking the man here?
I just see two dogs.
Leash is coming out of the Kremlin.
Which is interesting as historically USA hates Russia.
Apparently not anymore.

Yeah, I’m checking the news frequently to see if one dog turns on the other. If musk Turns on trump the way Trump turned on Cohen(Who was his lawyer through the Storm Daniel’s affair) then I’m sure Musk will destroy Trump financially; but maybe in the process Trump will reveal some dirt on Musk?
Trump could just have the ICE deport Musk. As much as Musk has influence if he doesn’t exactly have the same protections as the average American on that front, especially if he really did lie on his paperwork.
