He said he would cut $2 trillion

Okay.  And?  What is your point? What are YOU getting out of this beating on this drum?  What is it changing for you?  Are you saying 8.75% savings isn't good?

I’m saying it’s a far cry from what he said he would save.

And it’s wiped out by the increase in defense spending alone.

wiped out?  Maybe they added those savings to the defense budget?  The point is, that SAVED money is going towards valid projects that we maybe wouldn't have the money for otherwise whereas previously it was dust in the wind.

Lol if you think the defense budget doesn’t contain a lot of the waste that Musk said he was trying to cut

I'm sure it does, but on the other hand how can you assert it was "wiped out" and wasted?  You're claims are no better than mine. 

If he saved 300 million dollars then that's 300 millions saved REGARDLESS.  I don't understand your confusion.

So you acknowledge the defense budget has waste, but are okay with increasing it by $150 billion.

lol.  Sheep.

Musk is a Genius and great businessman.  But in terms of DOGE, he overpromised and under-delivered.

He's actually just a great con man who got lucky. Like his old friend Trump.

Actually, I'm not.  You're the one twisting conversations to fit your narrow view.  You've assumed a whole bunch from the limited posts i had with you today.  Sometimes you're a great conversationalist and bring some good points, but today you are absolutely off your game.  Maybe a day of rest will do you some good?

I’m not sure why you don’t see the relevance to DOGE in bringing up the defense budget.

I criticized DOGE for underdelivering compared to their goals, even according to their own numbers.

You said, “so, any savings is good!”

Sure, whatever.  But “savings” are kinda pointless when additional waste is being added at the same time (such as in the defense budget).

Listen, I get it.  Government spending money means there will always be waste, but how do you know it's been wasted this time?  You really, actually don't.  You're assuming because SIDEZ!!!!

Because government military contracts are filled with waste.  Weirdly DOGE didn’t bother to look there.

FYI, Elon himself said the spending bill “undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing.”

>>As Elon Musk became one of Donald J. Trump’s closest allies last year, leading raucous rallies and donating about $275 million to help him win the presidency, he was also using drugs far more intensely than previously known, according to people familiar with his activities.

Mr. Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it.<<

>>The White House did not respond to questions about whether it had asked Mr. Musk to take drug tests. As a large government contractor, his aerospace firm, SpaceX, must maintain a drug-free work force and administers random drug tests to its employees. But Mr. Musk has received advance warning of the tests, according to people close to the process.<<

>>

Mr. Musk had been using ketamine often, sometimes daily, and mixing it with other drugs, according to people familiar with his consumption. The line between medical use and recreation was blurry, troubling some people close to him.

He also took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms at private gatherings across the United States and in at least one other country, according to those who attended the events.<<

Musk’s drug use even greater than thought.

Trump’s own White House first week he took office granted auto pen authority to chief of staff Susie Wiles & staff secretary William Scharff for all matters. Biden likely had something similar as did other presidents. Though Wiles just had her phone hacked which is pretty scary & unprecedented.

Ok. Who did Biden grant it to? We should know. 

[TimHauck 2,654]

Not sure what an auto pen has to do with DOGE being a failure and Musk saying that the administration is undermining his efforts

Fair question, there’s likely a similar memo from his early weeks as president. Likely chief of staff & his staff secretary. But I agree people should know.

Musk gutting huge swaths of government without direct presidential approval seems relevant. No doubt that’s how all this really ends, with some disaster caused by lack of staffing or funding & Trump claiming Musk did it without his permission.

Bro steals news articles and posts them on the internet for everyone else to read.  But has a problem with people stealing TV shows.  

Still cracks me up that someone in IT says "jail break your firestick".    Talk about smooth brain.

Elon gets after it:

“Mr. Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen”

Perhaps why he was so delusional about what DOGE would accomplish

It’s Elon’s AI. Maybe ask him between his Adderall Ketamine benders.

Dude said he could find 2 trillion in savings, he just missed!
