There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.
Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

Elon Musk says he wants to “eliminate” programs like Social Security and Medicare: “Entitlements... That’s the big one to eliminate”

I'm really just waiting for them to do one of those things.
Hey buddy
In essence, barring someone whipping out a doohickey all we can do is scream about it.
How about collecting all the $ due the IRS to start…
then we can have the richest go back to paying 50%+ to the country (that allowed them to prosper) to build roads, bridges, USACE projects, invest in science education and trades skills… as they used to.
In a nation where over 100 million Americans own 500 million guns, ketamine addled Musk thinks he is coming *for them*?
“Mr. M, I have not even started with you”
Will he ever lift it? Or will it complete his rise to dictatorship?
EARNED BENEFITS
And FWIW I'm honestly not just "well actuallying", I more make a habit of pointing this out to state that it kind of terrifies me just how successfully a Republican spun a bit of classist propaganda to the point even leftists unknowingly repeat it decades later.
It was Reagan who intentionally poisoned the term because he wanted to make all entitlements unpopular with the public so he could eliminate them.
Only took 40-odd years.
Yes I am "Entitled" to it.
But the other point is to kill children who rely on Medicaid.
Damn fucking right we are entitled to that money, we've paid into it ever since we started working.
He can go pound sand on Mars.

coming out of his mouth. Get this slime out of our government.
Fuck Elon Musk!
Sociopath.
Let’s see the proof there are migrants brought here by democrats and paid social security funds to vote
I want to see the hard core evidence
muskivite wants to destroy our Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security… the fallout? The republicans do not care what happens to families
OK, MAGA your jobs have been cut, your government ( in particular VA) services have been cut, your Medicaid will be cut in this next budget by nearly $900B and it looks like SS & Medicare will be cut. No complaining. This is all on you.
Why does Musk and his teenage terror unit have access to all this information without having clearance and/or authority?
Help me make sense of this!!
It has always been the Democratic Party who fights to protect this~ and many other Programs.
It’s sick, the cuts the felon & Elon want to make equate into a death sentence for many!
why is that?
LOL absolutely not
also ss actually supplements the federal budget because they won’t sequester those funds.
Meanwhile he takes government money to boost his businesses.
Musk is repulsive, inhumane, and hypocritical. Like the rest of his tech brethren.
53% think the US increasing tariffs will hurt the US economy, while 37% think they will help the economy

You’re entitled to it because you earned it.
For clarity, I prefer to call it an earned benefit.
So you get cut off from your pension funds - by Lone - at the same time he renders it worthless.
I wish they would just say what they mean…older and vulnerable people are too expensive and don’t give us a return on investment.
Seems like he does not want to die alone.
In an interview with Joe Rogan he was mentioning death threats he receives. He took it ironically.
FAFO Trump, Musk & Congress what happens if you go there!!!

BRO!
It's not an entitlement! It's our tax money we paid through our hard work! Why haven't the democrats been pushing this truth for decades ! Now the democrats whine about it!
Wake up!
Now they want to gut every program that helps people and raise our taxes so the billionaires can pay even less.
Ensure safety, protection, well-being of the people.
Safety & protection from foreign adversaries, criminals, corporate misconduct & corruption; protecting financial system & environment.
Providing services; social security, welfare, healthcare.
Corporations: profit.
They profit from your misery.
Otherwise we should all sue with a class action suit. Sue the fuck out of Elmo.
Lift the Cap on Payroll tax
&
Kick out the domestic terrorist
"By law, Social Security cannot contribute to the federal deficit, because it is required to pay benefits only from its trust funds. Those, in turn, are funded through a dedicated payroll tax."
Yes, we pay that money into a system. This is OUR money, not yours. Take that and we will literally light your (Musk’s) system on fire. I have matches.
“There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”
Empathy, he said, has been “weaponized.”
But Musk and his slimy bros get tax cuts.
#EatTheRich
I'd rather die protesting against these fascists then live under a bridge and starve to death.
He is so full of lies!
Get him out of there, don't fund DOGE or anything connected to it.
