    Is he wanted to get paid or wanting his people to get paid?

    Does it matter? DOGE is Musk. It wasn't supposed to cost us anything.

    50-50, right. He saved us $50 billion, he gets $25 billion. It’s only fair.!

    If Musk and his team received $5 billion/year it would be a tremendous bargain. Why are liberals so dumb?

    Then why is even asking for it? This is just the beginning. Raping the government is Musk's primary gig. He's got rich off government contracts and subsidized cars. He's America's biggest welfare queen, really. He should supply is own "pennies". You can't have this both ways, bro.

    Maybe if Musk wasn't so rashly firing critical personnel, the government wouldn't have to pay for DOGE services. That's a pretty good deal he's got going--create job openings for his people by removing the current job holders, under the guise of "fraud, waste, and abuse."

    Let me do the math for you. Elon has perhaps the world's best all-around intelligence. He thinks he can save Americans $2 trillion per year. Let's say the Democrats put enough stumbling blocks in his way that the savings are only $500 billion per year. That's still 100 times greater than $5 billion. Not that complicated

    If you still think Elon is actually going to save you any money at all, I have a bridge to sell you. DOGE is nothing but a massive grift put in place to continue to enrich billionaires such as himself. The fact that you still can’t see this is unbelievably sad.

    Cannot see how it would cost millions to pay maybe a dozen GS13 or GS14 employees.

    Go back and look at DOGE stories from November…. Musk and Ramswamy they work for free and recruit “high IQ cost cutters” to work for free…

    Bait and switch… all the way

    It's as if his contracts from the Federal government and his freedom from regulatory oversight weren't enough. He's demanding more from his $277 million in contributions to Trump's 2024 campaign.
