    Ah the ol’ I don’t trust you bit. How about we give our money to a mod to hold in escrow. I know you will back out of that also but since you don’t really believe what you are writing I am loving calling you out. I won a cool $100 off of Sflagator in the election betting thread and he paid up. So let’s bet the $100 I won on Trump. You have no excuse except if you are just talking out your ass, which I know is true.

    So the bet is that they find 60 billion to cut? What a joke. Why would anyone take that bet? No one is claiming they won't cut 60B. Musk's claim was $2T. Do you want to bet me they cut $2T? I will gladly bet you that they don't. Or let's cut it in half. I will bet you that they don't cut $1T from the yearly budget.

    Vivek talked about gutting and reforming the administrative state during his campaign, so his desire to do this isn't that surprising, whether it's part of Project 2025 or not. Musk's highest and best use is more complex. Years ago, he might have been a good choice for climate change tsar or something along those lines. His biggest concern now seems to be that there aren't enough human beings. I am going with the long bet for an "Office of Impregnation."

    LOL, it was your partner in delusion that said that’s all he’ll find. Take it up with him. He set the market, not me. So you think he will find less than a trillion. Most likely that’s right. But a trillion is a shitload of money. But hey, back to thinking musk is doing this to fleece the American citizens lol. What a joke

    Got it. Musk said 2T and you don't even think they'll cut 1T. Thanks for confirming that Musk is full of shit.

    Elon is a salesman among other things, so maybe he can cut a deal with trump to get a percentage of all the savings he comes up with, maybe 1-2%. :). Once he's done in DC, he can head down to Tally

    Did Elon steal your significant other or bankrupt you? You seem strangely obsessed with Elon. Maybe you have a thing for him. Whatever floats your boat.

    I'm just trying to figure out why you've been arguing with me this whole time when you clearly agree with me that Elon is full of shit. He's not going to cut anything close to $2T.

    Your 7th grade postings won’t wear me down. I said there’s not enough cuts to be found through government efficiency outlining that the government functions on a $600B budget to make a difference. Everything else is defense and social transfers. You spent 2 pages misunderstanding basic math. Think about that next time you slam the benefits of a college education.

    The goal is $2T.

    So the $60Billion was just BS by you. See how easy that was? Thanks for admitting you lied.

    I never said anything about $60B other than that is what you get with 10% efficiency. That’s far short of $2T by the way. Why you’d want to change from arguing “you can’t get to $2T with efficiency” to “Musk can’t save $60B” is utterly transparent. You my friend are a terrible debater.
