Elon Musk outlines changes DOGE and Treasury have agreed to make.

One detail I'm focusing on

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/elon-musk-outlines-super-obvious-changes-doge-treasury-have-agreed-make

"It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already! Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number," he continued. "If accurate, this is extremely suspicious. When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!! This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately."

1. Entitlements are the LARGEST item on the federal budget.

2. The country is TRILLIONS of dollars in the hole.


THE ARGUMENT IS OVER.

Elon promised to end the career of anyone who disagrees with him.

So sure, I bet they "agreed."

@SunshineGirl The idea is to cut taxes on citizens, not hire 80k additional ppl to harass/threaten citizens into paying more.

Screw the wasteful spending of the govt...and anyone who tries to justify the wasteful spending. Fix the waste, then we can discuss the best way to tax ppl for existing here.

@easterniowegin I am perfectly familiar with Musk's bias. If he were genuinely interested in reducing the deficit and making government more efficient, he would start off by closing tax loopholes and reducing fraudulent evasion of democratically approved taxation.

The taxes have already been approved. There is no conversation to be had outside of Congress.

He is not interested in anything beyond making himself richer. Which is why he prefers to marginalise groups in society and threaten to withdraw funding for projects he disagrees with rather than tackling genuine waste and corruption.
