Now he is saying that Medicare is Fraud. He can't touch Medicare like he can't touch Social Security.
Split from paychecks is this: FICA 7.65% total.
6.2 % is Social Security and 1.45% is Medicare.
He should be arrested for intentional infliction of emotional distress of millions of Americans.
Clearly these oligarchs' and their businesses are complicit in this selfcoup. About time there are some consequence for undermining our republic. Lets start the conversation here: Break up Facebook/Instagram and nationalize SpaceX and Twitter.
Musk’s companies got $28.43B+ in government aid: SpaceX $20B contracts, $900M FCC, $15M TX; Tesla $2B credits, $465M DOE (repaid), $1.3B NV, $4–7B EV tax breaks; SolarCity $750M NY. Without taxpayer support, his $436B net worth wouldn’t exist. Shouldn’t we claim our ROI—through taxes or ownership?
(?) just said on @stephruhle.bsky.social show that Dems need to be pointing out all the pork that Red states/ politicians get, since they’re so worried about government spending. Great idea!
Musk is mad USAid had a part in the end of apartheid in South Africa. He thinks if he kills the institution that changed his homeland, maybe he'll be able to change it back.
This moron can’t even be good a Diablo there is no way he knows anything about foreign aid. Another unfit person in charge. Putin is loving every second of this
Let's play a little game with Trump supporters. Assuming that I can keep their attention focused long enough, cite each one of Trump's policies that you believe benefits YOU directly and state specifically HOW that policy actually benefits YOU. This should be fun.
If only we could get the cult to see it and how USAID helped end apartheid which is what I suspect it’s really about. There’s a lot happening out of revenge and spite and hate.
My theory is Musk is performing this Dog and Pony show with DOGE, so taxpayers cast a blind eye to the billions in subsidies that his companies receive from the US government.
"Elon Musk and Donald Trump stole $15,000,000,000" would have been more accurate.
MAGA is doing a heist on anti Trump republicans, democrats and non voters in broad daylight while everyone is watching.
Episode 69,420.12345 of "Why the fuck does nobody stop this?!"
That scum Musk will take off to a country that doesn’t extradite back to the United States with the nation’s secrets near the end. He must be locked up NOW.
Musk got 7 million of our tax dollars this week to feed his rogue boy band that now have all of our privileged and private information that they will, no doubt, sell to the highest paying foreign adversary that gives them asylum as well.
Piss off #billionaire #bribers like #Musk #Koch who pay off lawmakers to pass #BANS that keep us busy fighting for our #rights while they rob us blind.
Will a NEW #constitutional #amendment end ALL #bans on #voting #abortion #books #marriage #drugs #TikTok?
Elon, our fascist dictator whom no one voted for, clearly can’t see that anyone other than he needs money or resources to do work. Said every fascist dictator ever.
Protest is good and all, but to get a billionaire's attention, hit em in the pocket. Stop using X, stop buying Tesla, protest against Tesla. When his sales drop he'll disappear.
These arguments remind me of 2012 GOP convention, a small business owner spoke about how horrible the economy was but his sign making business had only 1 customer the federal government. It’s his fault he put all his eggs in 1 basket and didn’t widen his customer base but blames Obama, pathetic.
Starlink should be owned by the US Government and or NATO Country's to ensure Satellite systems are always available in times of war to those Country's supported by NATO and no private citizen can choose who gets access when.
SpaceX should be acquired by America and allies ie with the EU and space exploration and development controlled by the Country's. How much has Corporate welfare gone to make Musk so rich. All that money he used to help Trump came from US taxpayers via overpriced contracts and subsidies
It should be illegal for musk to have this much power he didn’t get confirmed by the senate plus he has a government contract isn’t this a conflict of interests
That's why Musk invested nearly $300 million to buy a President. It was business. He was investing money to make even more money. He's going to take it away from the people of this country.
Yep that adds up, Musk is mad. Also a traitor as has names of CIA agents in the field. No one has been cleared to have these...-We know against the law Trumpy and him have been in contact with Russia before Presidential reign...-
And just learned that he got 7 million dollars for his work last week in destroying our federal agencies. Time to seriously rise up and eat the friggin rich. Protests every day. Attend the ones you ca attend. Good GOD!
From where? DOGE hasn't been congressionally approved. And without approval, how is pay being budgeted and disbursed?
Basic question that requires an answer.
BTW….the author of project 2025 Russell Vought is on track to
lead the OMB. So even MORE of our tax dollars can go towards Elon’s mission to destroy (while seriously profiting) off of our government. 😞😞😞
So it sounds like you’re fine with this👇
Quote from your own article. Are you good w/ government corruption
“Politico received $8.2 million in total payments from government departments and agencies between fiscal year 2016 and fiscal year 2025. However, only $44,000 of this total came from USAID.”
Well, if you would dig a little bit deeper, you would find out that these $44k were for Government subscriptions which is far below the Government expense for right wing media. Guys, do not believe all the nonsense thats currently published for political purposes only.
Do you have a source for that? Im not ok with it from either side. Do you think we should be paying for partisan news media subscriptions? Left or Right?
Trump will destroy our institutions, cut Social Security, healthcare and remove Dept of Education, USAID, etc. in order for Musk & other billionaires to have their 15% tax rate. They will use the excess to conquer Greenland, Panama Canal, Gaza & their planned network state.
Criminal Trump and Nazi Musk are soulless and bereft of human decency. They will do whatever it takes for self enrichment. Wake up America and stop these crooks and grifters robbing you blind.
SpaceX would be bankrupt except for government contracts with NASA & US Military. Starship’s entire value is for NASA to land on the Moon again. They’ve paid Musk billions outsourcing their mission contacts for orbital refueling, the Moon orbital space station & mission 3 & up Moon Lander.
I think Elaine’s taking so many drugs at this point that he doesn’t even know what the fuck he’s talking about or even doing he got a hold of the wrong stuff
Musk is another grifter like daddy 1 & 2. This should end! He has not been invited to any role, given permissions or taken oaths. He is unelected, uninvited, & NOT a citizen.
I feel like simply framing it as hypocritical is burying the lead. He is going after all the agencies that function to stop a fascist coup from going all the way. He would be going after them if they were unpaid volunteers. It's not about cutting spending. It's about literally robbing the Treasury.
Ironically, USAID has also spent as much as $1 million on Starlink terminals from Musk’s company, SpaceX, over the last four years bringing them to Zimbabwe and South Africa; it had previously spent some $3 million on Starlink terminals for Ukraine...
Tesla and SpaceX got started – and survived their early days – with assistance from state and federal policies, government contracts and loans. The value of Tesla and SpaceX doesn’t come from their profits so far.
This is what I keep saying - they want to cut out things that help people when, if saving money was their true intent, review contracts and looking for overcharges and waste would yield a much bigger saving.
He's the apotheosis of Scrooge-like attitudes towards the poor in his rhetoric over USAID's role in American generosity, good will & influence in the world 🌍. And USAID's portion of the Federal budget is ~4/10 of 1%, if I'm not mistaken.
Realize that with Tesla, StarLink, and X -- and now his access to treasury department info -- he can track information on any citizen and either offer it to the police and/or to another government, case in point, all the information regarding the exploding Tesla in Las Vegas. He could also CHANGE
communications between countries using StarLink; and/or refuse to deliver, access and/or forward those communications to another country -- all because Musk knows better than anyone else. Italy just signed a contract with them.
This reminds me of when I worked for an agricultural machinery company. I ordered 200 business cards for a colleague instead of 100 for €30, and the director yelled at me for "wasting money." Meanwhile, he spent €400K(!!!) on a marketing roadshow 💩hauler that didn’t sell a single machine.

Spectacular women like Jasmine Crockett can lead the way
In 2008, SpaceX received a $1.6 billion contract to fly 12 supply missions to the International Space Station
In 2023, SpaceX was awarded 100 contracts worth $3 billion
In 2024, SpaceX received at least $3.8 billion in government contracts.
