Elon Musk is a Nazi, a stock-tanking business man, and he's also horrible at government "service".
So, because of him, the people are getting less, many are left without jobs, services are gutted, and... we're not saving so much money after all.
The ceaseless failures of Nazi Elon Musk are truly remarkable.
At this point you can't just put all the blame on Muskrat
The American government and all its supporters are complicit in handing over the keys to the government car to an idiot teenager with a Hitler fetish.
It's obvious, right?
In exchange for amplifying the right on Twitter and bankrolling Trump with cash, the GOP allowed Musk to eliminate the government agencies that were investigating him for his shitty business practices.
AKA all of them
He did convince lawmakers that white Afrikaners need US refugee status.. so there’s there that.
Jeez, now the US is gonna have even more white supremacists on welfare. Good luck with that, I guess.
That's the point...they aren't citizens, they are employees who will be trained in warfare.
Eh, they'll just become part of the background noise in the US, but South Africa being rid of them might improve things over there.
trump is quite easy to convince, he probably reminds trump he has to pay back the almost 300mil he spent on him.
^ This guy gets it.
You're too kind and you have such a cool username! Thank you.
If only you could convince Elon Musk
I really hate this guy’s fucking face.
Honestly surprised it got taken down. None of them seem that perturbed by being fact checked.
Lets also not forget that this is peanuts compared to the national budget even if it was true.
I am not saying to cut the national defense budget but can you imagine the low hanging fruit that can be gained just doing an audit.
Which has literally never been successfully done
Uh, it looks like someone has finally found some real ‘fraud’.
"Move fast and break things! What? We have to pay extra money to fix things we break accidentally? But that will really cut into money we claim to save! This sucks!"
Move fast and break things
that's really all they were after. fuck the system up and destroy as much as possible before anyone can stop them..
bonus points if something trashed benefited or supported women, lgbtq, immigrants, or anyone not white and male, in any way.
extra bonus points if campaign mega-donors or the ultra-wealthy or administration officials can personally profit off the destruction.
They definitely were after fucking stuff up. A lot of republicans are after small government and 'states' rights' - they don't give a shit if musk saves money or not just so long as he dismantles the federal government.
I know it's not cool to mock someone's physical appearance, but every photo I see of this fucker he looks more like a potato than the last. I believe he's also wearing a medallion in this one.
When I was a kid, I had one of the original Mr potato head toys that used a real potato instead of a plastic body - you'd kind of pin the nose, hat, etc to the potato. If I still had that toy I could make a likeness of musk that was indistinguishable from the real thing.
hes getting fat from all the wine and ketamine consumption.
Guy needs more of that gender affirming care. (Plugs, testosterone, ozembic)
My god these people so belong in jail
In El Salvador
from the $160 billion DOGE had claimed to save the federal government, some additional $130 billion would need to be spent
And that doesn’t count IRS not being able to enforce govt income
The way he ran that tells you everything. He got very lucky and was brutally ambitious and made a fortune. But he's bat shit crazy and a Moron. Pretty much explains why he's friends with Trump.
AGAIN???
40% of the nation's budget is blown on military spending, the next highest military spender, China, spends a quarter what the United States spends.
Of course, none of it matters if you just refuse to collect taxes. So DOGE "saved" 180 billion, it's not true but even if it was - the fuck does it matter in the face of a 4.2 trillion reduction in tax assessments?
By 40% you mean about 13%, right? https://usafacts.org/government-spending/
We haven't had 40% of spending in defense since about the time we put a man on the moon.
No, I was referring to discretionary spending.
I have to print all new bingo cards AGAIN???
So he really does have shame
No, lawyers. Long suffering lawyers.
Kim Jong Musk looks like an Austin Powers villain. What a putz.
