    Absolutely stupid people not just every day morons would discourage someone like Musk from helping streamline the government.

    The executive isn't going to streamline for free. Congress is the only branch that can force cuts and make them permanent. I assure you Musk doesn't work for free, just look at Space X and starlink contracts for Ukraine.

    The people that put a laughing emoji/emoticon on your post do NOT care about how many American children die from that dangerous clot-shot.

    That is hilarious coming from people denying children the basic MMR and Polio vaccines.

    Absolutely brain washed morons would cheer on a $Billionaire not streaming government or eliminating waste, but eviscerating the Federal Departments tasked with protecting the American people from people like ....Apartheid Elon.

    I would expect nothing less.

    I think he’s benching himself. He’s cut less one than 1% of the $2 trillion of “waste” he said he’d find and cut and in the process made himself one of the most hated people in the world. Not a good look for a guy who main gig is selling cars. But he’ll be fine,he set himself up with some billion dollar contracts and is ready to go…

    And this, amongst so many other things—including complete ignorance over government function and service, not the least of which is government is not designed to run at a profit, of part of the problem.

    Musk has countless conflicts of interest that make his cuts and recommendations suspect at the get-go. And then there is his political motives vs. real motivation to eliminate waste.

    As so many of us have said, an INDEPENDENT review of government would be welcomed and cheered. The absurdity of what happened will prove to be disastrous in the coming years.
