His job was not to cut. His job was to find waste and fraud.

He succeeded.

It comes back to one of the unwritten laws of government.

Once you give the money out. And it gets entrenched in the system. You catch hell taking it back.

Musk reminds me of the pillow guy with more money, he should have kept his nose out of politics, I think he has killed his brand. I wouldn't own a Tesla if it was free, and those cyber trucks are POS, another Edsel in the making

"Musk failed spectacularly to cut any "fraud, waste, and abuse" from federal government"
His fraud and abuse has wasted a lot of money.

DOGE is dead, and the truth is finally out: it didn't save money

Facebook · The Other 98%

Analysts estimate DOGE's chaos has COST taxpayers around $135 billion, from mass firings to lost tax revenue. $135 BILLION. That's not a typo.

He did not”promise” two trillion. He said he thought they couod find a trillion. They have to date! Found around 1/4 of that.

That’s more than anyone else has done, ever.

It isn’t chicken feed.

But it speaks to how badly Democrats, who you ostensibly support at this point, have fucked up our government in the last fifty years by creating an entire system of lifetimes of dependency.

Until you get the hell out of your California shithole you’ll never trash this.
