Can you tell me where to read about this? I googled and can’t find it.

edwardthethird.bsky.social•65 days ago

From where? Surely he can’t touch any budget that isn’t his own.

Are we really going to let this man take over our government?!

nebiyah7.bsky.social•66 days ago

Just because Elon commanded doesn't mean those Repubs in Congress had to comply...but they did...so they did it!

kiwisnowy.bsky.social•65 days ago

Petty cash to him.

lvsmith53.bsky.social•66 days ago

Who the fuck elected this asshole? He only has power if we give it to him.

was the money needed to send bombs to israel?

Additional tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy, increased taxes on the working class… lines 4 thru 11…. Gutting the working class…

907shane.bsky.social•66 days ago

Yeah, how exactly? Don’t fault me for not taking your word for it. Unless he was the source of the funding himself, what power does he have to do any of that?

erikastarrs.bsky.social•65 days ago

He pressured congresscritters to change the continuing resolution to fund the government. The revised bill did not pass.

Why? Why is he removing that?
I thought he was trying to be “ efficient “.
Turns out he’s trying to be a villain.
What an asshole. We NEVER elected him.
He can gfh.

nicmoe.bsky.social•66 days ago

Is there a source for that statement?

GOOD OLE USA: We hope your children either get shot or die of cancer.

erikastarrs.bsky.social•65 days ago

Elon did not remove anything. He has no power to do any such thing. He pressured Republicans to vote for a resolution that would remove the funding and it did not pass. He’s an asshole, but don’t give him more power than he actually has.

cheetovoodo.bsky.social•66 days ago

DOGE really can't legally cut anything. But they can convince enough congress critters who have the power of the purse to cut budget line items so apparently that is how they'll operate.

Let’s remove HIM

Can he? Trump not in power yet.

anniesage.bsky.social•66 days ago

I just don’t understand how these people with so much money (and without being voted into office) can now determine whether or not we should live or die.

Welcome to Russia 2.0.

iamchrisedward.bsky.social•65 days ago

What pisses me off to no end is, if a DEM was doing this GOPs would be screaming from the rooftops & complaining on every news show they could get on (& they would be adding lies to it as well).

Yet we basically hear crickets from the DEMs.

Why are DEMs being complicit?

dukefan.bsky.social•66 days ago

Maybe he figures by eliminating vaccines, there won’t be children left to get cancer.

boomdrummer.bsky.social•65 days ago

Little Kids repeat what they hear.

Dare ya to listen to elons son and not have your jaw drop in shock

Elon is a SICK greedy, selfish narcissist. Just like Donald.

e9ine.bsky.social•65 days ago

He probably spends more than that on scented candles

Royalty income for US government from medical patents is over $900 Million per year

He could wipe out cancer if he had a soul.

fboom55.bsky.social•66 days ago

He can’t

illytechguy.com•66 days ago

It doesn't make him richer so it has to go.

slaterzen.bsky.social•66 days ago

Elon Musk would prefer that children with cancer not exist. Simple as that.

arabellaspireship.bsky.social•66 days ago

tiguyd.bsky.social•66 days ago

Maybe their solution will be to deport the cancer kids.

iamchrisedward.bsky.social•65 days ago

This is disgusting!

If they are going to do this, I hope they set up euthanasia clinics so they people who's lives they have destroyed can pass away with dignity.

Soon we will all be Sol Roth from Soylent Green.
