Billionaire presidential adviser Elon Musk called entitlement spending — benefits including Social Security and Medicare — key targets for cuts, an assertion that directly contradicts President Donald Trump’s pledge to not touch those programs.

Let’s just stop giving $$$$$ to Space X and Tesla, that will save us between 18 billion - 19 billion a year! He fired the Federal inspectors that would have never allowed that launch last week to proceed due to disastrous previous launch. How much did that blow-up cost us?
An Entitlement is a benefit that we have paid into & that we are entitled to that benefit, once we qualify. He thinks that it is a give-away, which shows you what an ignorant twat waffle he is.
Goes to show, money can't buy you brains. Hair plugs, yes. But not brains.
One wonders if he'll inadvertently or otherwise mess with payments to huge insurers who write Medicare Advantage plans, or with large hospitals. If he starts a mess, people on Medicare may find it difficult to find someone who accepts Medicare patients.
Don't think adolf musk actually takes much notice of comrade donald.
How come with massive world inflation and covid there was no inflation, but when comrade donald inherits a growing economy suddenly recession looms.
Isn't America already a wealthy country and pretty great?
Except for the guns.
Oh Yoo-hoo! All you olds.
It’s time that you just died to allow the big tax cuts for the riches.
Kinda makes me remember Rep. Alan Grayson’s presentation in the House about Republican’t Healthcare Plans.
Two steps. Really really simple:
1- Don’t get sick.
and
2- If you get sick, die quickly.
Is Elon Musk little Hitler head of the douche department looking for fraud? Question! He knows how to access damn computers don’t need folks he’s clever. He read the postal computers too, and knows all about mail and votes and how they’re counted.
I know you don't give a shit about 90% of the people in your country and 0% outside it but there's a reason every other G7 country but the US has both universal health care and a version of social security.
It works, 0 recession back to your version, by any of them.
When the moment arrive both maniacs will fight. Musk are going to try to use the starship, because as a traitor he no long can use common means of transportation. Starship will fail again. Trump destine is not so bright, he will be deposed, arrested and forgotten.
what an absolute piece of dogshit he is. king of entitlements bitching about people who work paying into SS and not having to work as an old person as ENTITLEMENTS
If the South African oligarch propagandist billionaire can take peanut butter out of the mouths of starving children. Of course he’s gonna get your SSI benefits. Trump (good cop) is using him to be the bad cop. It’s the art of the deal.. I mean scam.. dang I keep messing that up.
On the other hand, FOTUS also said he didn’t know what Project 2025 was, but yet it is being implemented to the letter & his admin is filled with those people who participated in writing it.
An entitlement program is one that has criteria that, once met, entitles you to participate no matter how many participants there are. That includes SS and Medicare.
I know. Republicans have been trying to poison that word the way they did the word "liberal." Don't let them. We have a right to receive things we are entitled to.
Trump is the chaos president and doesn’t really care or remember what he promised from one day to the next. His mindless minions will eventually find out but at that point he’ll convince he’s doing this for their best interest anyway and they accept that
time to stand up, speak out, go to rallies
Some naive people thought trump was not lying when he said he would not go after SS and Medicare. But now we have some drug-addicted billionaire cutting SS and Medicare. These are NOT ENTITLEMENTS. We pay into these programs and receive benefits when we retire. SS trust pays for itself—hands off.
The biggest Ponzi scheme in government is twittertwit and Dogebags. Access to every competitor, research, and grants and a multiverse of information that could directly or indirectly benefit him. And he has the audacity to call monies that people earned over their working lives, an entitlement?
67 1/2 year old friend just received notice his Social Security payment, minus Medicare will possibly begin the end of April. Could have applied Dec. 2023, but wasn’t ready. He’s been self-employed small business owner 46 years. Still working, because SS is $17,340/year. And Musk wants that too.
Will Trump and his voter base concede they will have blood on their hands due to abandonment of USAID? Can we call it murder?
Manufactured deaths by Trump will be greater than Covid.
Hahaha. And who else is constantly lying? putin-khuylo. He always promises what he won't do, but he does. Donnie is his twin brother. "Congratulations" to you Americans, you chose this for yourself...
And Trump has never lied, distorted the truth, contradicted himself or otherwise done anything to lead me to believe that he might consider touching those programs….
Social Security is an earned benefit, recipients paid in. Put that in your headlines. The only entitlements are going to Musk and the other billionaire kleptocrats
I don't care about his words, as an advisor he job is to analyze, provide proof, make recommendations for revision, turn fraud found into DOJ, and work with Congress on changes, if Trump agrees there should be action, not just speculative lip service.
If Musk does this, and trump goes along for the ride, people will riot. Trump will initiate martial law, but it won't matter because Americans will still go after trump and musk full bore. Guaranteed. They will be living in a bunker , thinking it will blow over, but it won't.
For some reason the idiot oligarchs don't have a clue that they too profit massively from all the things taxes pay for, like a functioning country with living and healthy consumers and laborers?
TCF just said this to appease ha base. He knew all along that SS and Medicare are being cut. While I do not think they’ll go away, I do think SS will cease all COLA’s and Medicare monthly premiums will increase each year!

Entitlements are Musk’s government contracts and tax giveaways to the rich and corporations!

And they are highly paid from your tax dollars.

I am entitled to receive back the Social Security taxes I've PAID for 40+ years.
This nazi thinks he can robbed millions of Americans of what is owned?!
Musk will enslave the entire US population to corporate interests
.....and many Americans will be fine with that
