i’ll bet you my social security payments that they don’t touch the DoD

What comes after farce?

Comments

Don't touch? No, we need to increase funding! But to the contractors, like SpaceX, not to things like the VA or supporting soldiers!

edarlingb.bsky.social•105 days ago

Shite at grammar, too.

ibc.bsky.social•105 days ago

The last dollar to roll off the printing presses is going into the pocket of a defense contractor.

feliciahart.bsky.social•105 days ago

I'd bet they'll put more into it.

ingforart.bsky.social•105 days ago

No he'll instead funnel all the funds to him

mspdawg.bsky.social•105 days ago

So is Elon placing his assets into a blind trust or are we supposed to assume the epic edgelord is going to be objective when evaluating all the SpaceX contracts?

delbertgseasons.bsky.social•105 days ago

Magnificent that their effort to fight inefficiency starts with naming two guys to lead the same agency

2names1scott.com•105 days ago

they will; there are plenty of DoD healthcare programs they can suggest to cut

slywolfy.bsky.social•105 days ago

If they touch it at all, it'll selectively be SpaceX competitor contracts

aldercheems.bsky.social•105 days ago

Gonna be 4 years of "lol they put shrimp on treadmills" instead of the Navy being wildly corrupt and unable to build working ships.

winterhope.bsky.social•104 days ago

ooo I bet his greedy fingers will find everything. It's amusing how fast he is. Bet that's what she said.......🤣🤣🤣

stochasticooze.bsky.social•105 days ago

Sure they will

they'll funnel all the money they're "saving" in other departments into the DoD

no-mods-no-masters.bsky.social•105 days ago

Department of Labor gonna be a ghost town though. OSHA is gonna be two guys and a typewriter

ncsteve.bsky.social•105 days ago

I'll bet you my social security payment that they're definitely going to touch our social security payments, though.

sedefmb.bsky.social•105 days ago

They’re going after social security and the VA first

bryyyyguy.bsky.social•105 days ago

Elon’s gonna try to have the FAA gutted so he can launch to his heart’s content, which will inevitably lead to one of his rockets or satellites kicking off a Kessler Syndrome event and trapping us on Earth forever (which let’s be real, no space endeavor is saving us).

boarprince.bsky.social•105 days ago

lmao

hinkema.bsky.social•105 days ago

might not be worth much by the time they’re done

bigfatbartolocolon.bsky.social•105 days ago

only Twitter Blue subscribers will be able to access social security from now on

matthewglidden.bsky.social•105 days ago

How I'll feel in 20 years trying to remember NASA via movie references

pckak.bsky.social•105 days ago

What are you doing to elderly and/or disabled people, who only have Social Security to live on?
We do not live large, by any means.
Can't afford a 2 bathroom apartment that we desperately need. Can't close the door to this bathroom we have, while my wheelchair is in there.
Need a walk in shower too.

franjames.bsky.social•105 days ago

They're gonna strip this place for parts

aferaldavid.bsky.social•105 days ago

taking programs out of context and then laughing at the work people have done for them is a really twisted way to turn people against the public service

mezentine.bsky.social•105 days ago

Yeah I'm uh really worried about this project.

pamelaporter.bsky.social•105 days ago

Fuck, they won't even consent to an audit. Whistleblowers still in hiding over that fiasco.

wakes53.bsky.social•105 days ago

Elonia the new first lady lays out his sinister plan to steal grandma's social secuity and medicare
Perfect for the worlds richest douch to hurt the most vulnerable and least able to fight back
The cowardice and evil of these scumbags is difficult for decent people to even imagine

chuckfurlong.bsky.social•105 days ago

Perfect bet: you won't have any social security money to pay out

sarahofsb.bsky.social•105 days ago

Nah, they'll transfer all DoD work to Starlink.

rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social•105 days ago

Yeah, get ready for “any dollar not spent at a Musk company is inefficient”.

sarahofsb.bsky.social•105 days ago

Musk is the one guy who gets more unearned "but he's a businessman!" credit than Trump

awfullyvague.bsky.social•105 days ago

Nah, they'll find some diversity initiative within the DoD and make a big song and dance about the "billions of dollars" they saved by cutting it.

cozmonot.bsky.social•105 days ago

That “leaderboard” is just gonna be a propaganda tool to discredit any spending whatsoever. “They wanna spend 50k on a study of whether Goldfish can distinguish shapes! They can’t be trusted with ANY money”

satmandu.bsky.social•105 days ago

That's because the DoD is older than 17...

jrod49.bsky.social•105 days ago

I vote for doing away with Secret Service protection for the president’s adult children. Last time they used it to fly around the world and strike multimillion dollar deals for themselves personally.

michanconnor.bsky.social•105 days ago

They're already betting your social security payments on Bitcoin and FanDuel

dks.bsky.social•105 days ago

Hey hang on, surely there are some DoD responsibilities that Musk’s companies could perform for a reasonable mark up

durumcrustulum.com•105 days ago

that's where his spacex money comes from

jtdc.bsky.social•105 days ago

They're going to be cutting EO officers, SARCs, Victim Advocates, etc within the DoD and subordinate branches.

Probably certain other administrative positions as well.

namjoonahlove.bsky.social•105 days ago

The problem with touching the DoD is that they don’t cut funds for all those ridiculously dumb projects and weapons. They cut service members’ checks and benefits.

samaelmorningstar.bsky.social•105 days ago

This is going to be Kleptocratic heaven for these losers.

jackphantom.bsky.social•104 days ago

Or the subsidies to Tesla, SpaceX, etc.

brazuca.bsky.social•105 days ago

They will legislate by meme and they will become extremely popular, despite the consequences. People are not prepared for what’s coming.

mcnadroj.bsky.social•105 days ago

Nope. It'll come in cuts to SNAP and Medicaid funding.

notalawyer.bsky.social•105 days ago

you think they’re about to cut the next wasteful fighter jet project? no, they’re going to rank Department of Interior line items from least to most gay and work from there

ibc.bsky.social•105 days ago

Preview of coming attractions...

https://www.rand.org/pubs/commentary/2024/06/corruption-and-the-russian-government-reshuffle.html

ernieluckman.bsky.social•105 days ago

hes going to cut the wrong piece of pork and end up with a tesla engine in his bed.

kakotechnia.bsky.social•105 days ago

Ah yes, the Tom Coburn “Wastebook” approach

rallidaerule.bsky.social•105 days ago

I realize the enviromental impact of this administration are not the most alarming, but I am alarmed.

jonessa.bsky.social•105 days ago

Goddammit the rest stops in this country are in bad enough shape already

cactrot.bsky.social•105 days ago

recklessly cutting a line item just marked "iodine" and finding out at the worst possible moment that it was for anti-radiation pills.

vanderhoofy.bsky.social•105 days ago

we're about to see the return of "THE GOVERNMENT IS FUNDING SEA SLUG STUDIES" or whatever on the highest levels

stochasticooze.bsky.social•105 days ago

I wouldn't put it past Elon Musk to want to build Rapture

cheapneonshades.coys.social•105 days ago

i mean, that's his whole deal. except in an even less hospitable environment than underwater

stochasticooze.bsky.social•105 days ago

lol good point

although there's no sea slugs there for him to implant in prepubescent girls

...that we know of

srbrocialist.bsky.social•105 days ago

It's hilarious to think think this does anything. They've audited government offices and everytime it's like "the DOD is missing billions but the IRS spent too much on the cheese at their holiday happy hour at the Super 8 and that's the problem"

azbutch.bsky.social•105 days ago

Great point, they can't kill any program they plan to grift from. The may be the only thing that saves Social Security and Medicare.

justyouraveragejoe.bsky.social•105 days ago

Honestly surprisingly silly. I was expecting a more ominous approach

keyboardbrawl.bsky.social•105 days ago

He can't stop the development of new fighter jets, where else would he get ideas for the names of his kids?

lncann.bsky.social•105 days ago

Vaccines for Children program and clean water standards are likely to be classified as extremely gay.

ravenlasagna.bsky.social•105 days ago

I assume they cut the fighter jet if they're not skimming some off the top of it or their buddies aren't.

david.uncensored.zip•105 days ago

Blue states should sue them when they try to cut any program. Probably won't work but make it as hard as posssible

rattie66.bsky.social•104 days ago

Agreed

shaunheiser.bsky.social•105 days ago

the last election democrats could've run on lowering medicare eligibility to 55 and I guess now they'll have to run on *squints* bringing back medicare

tandrew.bsky.social•105 days ago

Oh wild it ends up all the contracts with SpaceX and Starlink are total bargains!

belleofball.bsky.social•105 days ago

More money for the F-35 Lightning II!

johncluverius.bsky.social•105 days ago

oh no RIP Fat Bear Week

kcldavison.bsky.social•105 days ago

Cute that you think social security will still be around when you retire
