Our government has spent $100,000 a person to hold migrants at the Gitmo concentration camp for less than six weeks. That's about $17,000/week for each migrant. They could have stayed at a Ritz-Carlton for that. What's this you say about government waste and efficiency, Elon?

Huge shout out to the tourists helping the park rangers picking up the massive amounts of trash at the base of the Washington Monument this morning. One told us she was waiting in line and noticed there were only two park rangers so she picked up a bag and helped out! The park ranger was so happy!
