Even Donald Trump doubted Elon Musk’s ability to cut $1 trillion in federal spending.
“Was it all bulls–t?” Trump asked advisers of Musk’s cost-cutting under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the Wall Street Journal reported in a behind-the-scenes look at the pair’s working relationship.
Musk pledged to cut $1 trillion from the federal budget but ultimately managed to cut only $170 billion, according to DOGE’s own calculations, which have themselves been called into question.
In the wake of the Times report, Republicans and Democrats alike have connected Musk’s drug use with his erratic behavior—including his Nazi-like salute during Trump’s inauguration and mumbling interviews.
No, the Nazi salute was done by the real Musk and expressed his actual views. The drugs may have lowered his inhibitions but they didn’t “make him” do it.
I’m a little concerned that democrats are giving him the out, though. Like.
No.
He did it because he’s a fucking Nazis.
The original Nazis were on drugs too. Yet, they were still Nazis.
Confused old man gets conned by African scammer
Musk pledged to cut $1 trillion
He pledged $2 trillion.
Musk got everything he paid the orange clown for.
He got to go in and dismantle all of the government organizations that were investigating his companies and then got to datamine sacred cows (social security, etc) for his own purposes.We all know it was never about the money.
It was about access.
To all that sweet sweet data.
