I believe this country owes a debt of gratitude to Elon Musk for his service in identifying waste, fraud, and abuse and having a team in place from Day 1 to go after DOGE objectives. He assembled a very strong team, and many of the concerns held by myself and similar thinkers were validated by Musk's efforts and findings.

The best way to honor this service is to codify these expenses OUT of the department budgets that spent unwisely and in a partisan fashion.

Elon Musk is the once in a generation brilliant entrepreneur that has a vision for the future world not seen by most. He spent half a year trying to help his country get on a stronger financial footing, and his companies felt pushback and violence from the radical left.

Thank you, Mr. Musk for service, and the efforts and results of your team. You are a great American. Fair winds and following seas!

Endorsed.

Seldom has a person with so many accomplishments benefiting so many people been subject to so much unwarranted abuse.

My next car will be a Tesla, although I decided before Musk undertook DOGE.

Hopefully, Elon will continue his efforts from the outside to control the monstrous federal debt which, unchecked, will sooner or later result in a financial crisis of epic proportions. It is a bipartisan problem requiring a bipartisan solution before it is too late.

Thank you, Elon. Screw the left for attacking him. How un-American.

Very well said. It really is too bad that the Marxists who would turn our republic into another communist ****-hole have manage to acquire such sway over their base that they cannot see what their leaders have in mind for the rest of us. Musk and his team have upset their apple cart by exposing major sources of funding for the various multi-national entities who have their hands in the pie and who want to use such funds to further destabilize America and that cannot be allowed to go unpunished.

That is what the democrats are supporting even if doing it unawares. Like most good commies though they rarely even know the details of what they are supporting.

The cult is funny.

Why doesn't Tom combat Elon? Tom says Tom is rich.

Thank you Elmo, for mostly claiming you stopped spending that was already stopped before trump took office. Heckuva job!

I had high hopes for him, but he accomplished very little.

Identifying that USAID was ignoring presidential orders was good. Eliminating USAID as a department & folding it into State was good. But I think those are literally his only accomplishments.

Forgive me if I don't think that reducing federal headcount by about 4% is a significant accomplishment. Particularly when he did it in such a blundering fashion that even a brain-dead HR person should know wouldn't survive a legal challenge.

Forgive me if I also don't give him any credit for Trump's other Cabinet members finding and cancelling DEI-spending and climate-fraud spending.

Elon's lack of attention to detail really screwed the pooch. This was a once-in-a-generation opportunity for this country that was almost completely squandered.

That's a strange response, but I'm not surprised that it's your response as it fits you. I've never thought of what the mindless, ducks-in-a-row followers of the Democratic Party (AKA - the cult) do, or the damage they have done to our country, as being funny.

You loons do understand this should be an ongoing process, right? The refusal of congress to codify into law methods and procedures to identify and eliminate waste fraud and abuse isn't on Elon, Trump or any other individual, it's on those deep staters who ALL have their hands in the pie. And that's literally almost every single functionary in DC, elected or not and regardless of the letters behind their names.

EVERY American should be incensed by the level of corruption and graft being uncovered.

Edit: And even more incensed that now that it is being exposed nothing is being done about it.

You're right. But the Repubs claim that DOGE cuts will be codified next, after the Big Beautiful Bill passes. We'll see.

USAID is basically just a change of philosophy and not so much eradicating "waste and fraud." It's really a matter of whether you want the US to be the world leader in trying to stem world hunger and curb emerging diseases, etc. in the underdeveloped world. Stopping that spending could have disastrous results for us down the line.

I imagine the folks at Jonestown didn't know they were in a cult either.

You got that right. We laughed at your cult when they voted for and supported a brain dead pedo. We laughed at your cult when they said Biden was fit to serve 4 more years. We laughed at your cult during the disastrous debate. We really laughed at your cult during your pathetic DNC when they anointed a cackling drunk slut. We laughed when they told you to vote for her and you did without having any say in it. We laughed hysterically and have been since Nov 5.

No, it's not. The Republicans have NEVER been cutters of spending and that's not going to change. Congress still controls spending. All they will do is continue to spend the same amount, it will just be spent on other things.

So ignorant of reality. Biden got WAY more votes than this supposed "cult." And a main reason was a vote against trump and not for Biden. Not to mention this "cult" sent him packing. You fools will go down with the ship for trump.

And Harris was the ONLY alternative.

Hope he makes the most of all the classified data he swiped

Libturd cult idiots 2 months ago: " OH MUH GERD! MUSK IS TAKING A CHAINSAW TO GOVERNMENT JOBS AND SPENDING!"

Libturd cult idiots today: "MUSK DIDNT REALLY CUT ANYTHING!"


Also as a reminder that when the DOGE bills get queued up next week, you libturds arent going to be throwing a fit because, as you say, the cuts were already made before Musk came along.

I'll believe it when it happens. While I'm firmly convinced that the bulk of the pilfered money went into individual pockets and the pockets of activist organizations disguised as (often charitable) NGO's I don't reject the notion that plenty of GOPers have benefitted as well.

Regarding the activist NGO's, we have funded the cutting of our own throats in many of those cases. The problem is once you start pulling that one thread...
