I thought the only work DOGE did was to switch random sectors of the state off by flicking a switch. It’s everyone else who does the work trying to put right the damage it creates.
This is all 100% WWE-style diversion and performance. Don't buy it. Musk has known all along what Trump was going to do with taxes--mainly, benefit people like Musk.
And here he is fake-emoting concern and disappointment.
Awesome. I just made the pro-wrestling comparison too (hadn't read other comments yet). Agreed - it's theatre to convince the Cult that he gives a shit, and that DOGE isn't just another front for profiteering and social manipulation.
Musk is just another Trump patsy, he just hadn’t realised it yet. Anyone who touches Trump ends up in jail or on the scrap heap. Reap what you sow Musk.
Unless...DOGE got what they needed, and now he wants to save Tesla using that as an excuse to "leave" the administration in a way to win back some of the disenchanted.
Musk needs go on the comedy show circuit, with all the billions he is raking in from government contracts, how that is somehow lowering the deficit is laughable at best, a con artist grifter in reality
😯 You mean like "Fake News"!? That would never be the case with these two. There's always complete transparency and honesty, always and ONLY to Make America Great again! 😂🤣
If you believe Musk really is separating himself from Trump and his government functions, I've got oceanfront property in Arizona I'd like to sell you.
If Musk was as smart as some people claimed, he should have seen this coming. Or maybe the wannabe king trump wants to be the riches person in the world so he’s throwing musk under the bus. Like the White House version of the Hunger Games.
He blew his reputation and his money getting Trump elected and now he's surprised that everything is turning to s***. I'm beginning to think he's not such a great businessman after all...
Billionaires don’t like it when poor and middle class folks have access to things like good schools for their kids, pensions, or medical insurance (I’ve come to believe). I don’t understand the angst. They’re still going to be rich, even if (God forbid) they have to pay income tax on their billions.
Considering that he keeps taking money from taxpayers and using tax loopholes, no. It would seem despite being the wealthiest person on Earth, Musk just wants everyone else to pay taxes, but not himself.
Yeah, how’s that $2 trillion in savings (using waste, corruption and fraud) going? DOGE never left the starting line. They might have gone backwards a few hundred million.
White House plans to send a package to House Rs next week to codify cuts to foreign aid organizations and NPR. We may think there's friction here but it's all a distraction and I imagine many cuts will pass through either way.
I was just trying to destroy American families and well oiled institutions so I could get more money from the government. I can't believe other people are trying to do the same thing! I fucking hate this guy.
All the work they did? Crippling the country and costing them in the long run? 🤣 Achieved less than 1% of what he promised to save, two trillion, and even his 1% numbers are fudged
Musk is not by nature a political animal. He is a political tourist. The entire reason he jumped it was because his empire was in trouble. Multiple investigations under way. Competing business with SpaceX. And he is actually underwater financially ($5b on hand but owes over $13b).
Trump got what he wanted from Elon. And like anyone else, when he's got it, he'll toss you under the bus and blame you for everything. He really played Elon for a real sucker, big time. I'd keep an eye open cause it's going to get nasty.
Trump has added to the deficit more than any other president. He & the GOP need to stop pretending they care about reducing the debt. They feign caring only when Democrats are in power. They are gutless cowards. They will blame Biden & Obama still when they can’t balance the budget.
Strikes me as bs. Pretending to care about the deficit promotes Musk's narrative that what he is doing is for the 'good of the nation' when if fact it was about crushing the federal investigations into his companies. This is pro-wrestling soap operas for the MAGA cult who's convinced it's real.
Undermines? You still got rid of all that stuff, Elon! And that was always the main point, not ‘savings’. Destruction. Vandalism. Removing protections for ordinary Americans and the poor.
Hard work getting 8 million per day to destroy the institutions we depend on. Fuck musk .CALL AND EMAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES DAILY AND DEMAND THEY HONOR THEIR OATHS TO THE CONSTITUTION. DEMAND THEY IMPEACH REMOVE AND JAIL TRUMP AND HIS CABINET.
Elon should be a little bitter because he's been kicked to the curb. That's what he gets for drinking the Kool aid of the antichrist. He thinks he will be popular again now that he's away from Donnie but we will never forget and Elon can Go to hell with the rest of Don's cult.
He just knows Dems will open arms welcome him back if he says stuff like this while still benefiting from all his doge bs. Sad that people today have no long standing morals and attention spans of a goldfish. Team boycott him till his last day on earth.
Popcorn is right. Everything from his mouth is pr theater. Distraction from spending 250 million for billions in contracts. He knows Tesla was not long term. He got exactly what he wanted out of this. He's not stupid, he's greedy. He's not fighting he's gloating.
Who would've known - governance is not as simple as a "stable genius" busting in and doing what they think is the solution without consulting anyone else!
When you're too rich to care what the bill can actually do for you. The fact that he supports him now despite passing a similar bill in 2016 shows he's fine with whatever the government does as long as he gets his. That's the mindset of all GOP voters. "I got mine, fuck the rest of you".
His gameboy brigade are getting 6 figure paychecks to break everything that will then costs billions to fix. The tax cuts for the rich added 25% to the deficit the last frickin' time. If you wanted to balance things, you'd tax the rich while carefully evaluating ANY cuts to ANY program.
Poor Elon. Nothing ever works. FSD is still unsupervised since 2016. Rockets are blowing up. Genocide lies are exposed. And for Tesla owners, the windshield wipers still spontaneously go off for no reason. For 6 years, he can’t fix that basic problem. Loser.
.... how do people not realize it's a scripted response. To garner the exact response that George has.
They need both sides of crazy: those that will cut spending at any cost, those that will spend whatever to reach their goal. Elon is one. Trump is the other.
Trump got the money to win the election. He certainly doesn't GAF about Elmo anymore. Elmo got his greasy mits on the gubmit data, so worst case, he's way ahead. If he can pull a few hundred billion out the "Golden Shower Dome" boondoggle, that's gravy.
It taxes EV's every year to register them for insurance. That's what he really doesn't like. This disappointment has nothing to do with DOGE.
His work at Tesla will suffer because of this bill.
More likely he sees Tesla tanking because he alienated the people who were is target buyers and wants to get them back.
He probably thought he could make up the losses with Trump supporters, but MAGA rubes think EVs are a communist plot and they’re not enough rich dude-bros to buy cybertrucks.
I think all Musk cares about is getting several Govt monopolies: Star Link to make $Billions for satellite communications and the FAA communications/radar system, $Billions with SpaceX instead of NASA, $Billions for Trump's Golden Dome shield, $Billions etc.
Sit down Elon. If you weren't bright enough to figure this out, maybe you should go back and take some basic money management class. Millions of Americans figured this out....of course, we can critically think because we didn't inherit $$ and actually live on a budget.
Unfortunately they never implode. Leave the party, get✂️from the coffers. 💲rules conservatives.
I'm sure there's something in the Bible about that. Something about❤️of 💲being the root of all evil. Or was that verse validating prosperity gospel?I 🤔
Disingenuous. He's benefiting from their tax cuts, he's benefiting from the crooked contracts being extracted from other countries. He's trying to rebuild his personal brand. Sorry you 2 hat wearing turd, your brand is toast and set for good. You tore the engine down and left it broken.
Don’t fall for this bullshit. This scenario would imply that only one of them is an evil fuck. They are both evil fucks, do not forget, believe or get distracted buy anything else.

Fraud. Swindler. Liar.
Spoiler: we won't.
1. Musk is drooling for the tax cuts
2. DOGE was to gather data for Palantir
3. DOGE was to downgrade Public Services to justify privatization
He's prob distancing himself for some other reason
Breaking up is hard to do.. unless you’re both egotistical, fascists devoid of humanity
Who could have possibly seen this coming??
No deficit, no surplus.
That part's hilarious.
it'd be adorable if it wasn't so messed up.
Let’s not forget him when the Revolution starts (he will be hiding)
Old man is stressed.
He has aged…
Elon is an anti-Semite
Elon hates Black people
Elon is a prick
want some? :)
They discovered no fraud.
It was a heist.
"Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid.”
Chernobyl
the way he 'hypes up' his stock price to make it bigger.
he's learning that's not how math works😁💙
Who will get the white house in the divorce.
Will they do split for j d vance?
An attempt to save Tesla's reputation now would be trying to bail out the Titanic with a shot glass.
He may be the richest man, likely to drop, but he'll always be universally hated.
They need both sides of crazy: those that will cut spending at any cost, those that will spend whatever to reach their goal. Elon is one. Trump is the other.
The cult remains in their control.
He's allegedly smart, right?
Him and his fascist Geek squad can get f*cked.
His work at Tesla will suffer because of this bill.

Best karmic event ever!
