Elon Musk isn't going to save the government any money. It's the opposite, in fact.
He's currently pursuing a move that could blow a multi-trillion-dollar hole in the federal budget and let billionaires get away with tax evasion.
Here's how 🧵

Tough talk making a thread on social media,maybe you should try actually leading and getting the rest of your party/leadership on board? Or you can censor another of your members for bullshit again.
Unless/until then, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
What the heck is Elon doing inside the USA
Government in the first place.
You’re an elected representative he’s not!
What we really want to know is, what are you doing about it?
We’re out here silently collecting swords.
Expect/respect The Government of The People to do their jobs if Y’All can’t.

What does this mean for you? Your refund will take longer to hit your account and you'll have a harder time resolving issues.
What does this mean for billionaires? They'll be able to cheat on their taxes more easily.
A 50% cut in the workforce + a substantial increase in noncompliance could mean lost revenues of $2.4 trillion/10 years, according to the The Budget Lab.
A more effective message might be something like:
Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is firing the IRS staff who find people who cheat at their taxes. If you pay your fair share of taxes, why shouldn't the rich pay theirs?
You have failed us.

Your social media staff have to learn that Americans are dumber than dirt. You can't pack a message with facts. That's why YOUR PARTY LOSES. ALL THE TIME.
Musk, the world's richest person, is gutting the IRS's ability to hold him and ultra wealthy people accountable–he is making it easier to game the system and cheat.
They’ll rack up the deficit by making it easier for billionaires to cheat on their taxes—then come back and demand cuts to your healthcare to fix the budget mess they made.
And another example of their corruption: making things worse for America and more profitable for them.
Fewer IRS agents against asshole rich people's army of bean counters and shysters means they pay less in taxes than we do.
Also, maybe point out Musk having his way on anything in the federal government is probably fucking illegal.
You’re all silent- so you’re all letting chuck stick his neck on the line for all of you.
But every single one including st. Bernie rushed every single vote though.
