Why is any U.S. media outlet pretending there have been sufficient savings associated with this Musk debacle—or even any confirmed _net_ savings at all—such that every American can be given $5,000? This is clearly a desperate attempt by Musk and Trump to simply _pay_ people to stop criticizing them.

Elon Musk plans to "check with" Trump about a proposal to send Americans rebate checks with money saved through slash-and-burn DOGE cuts.

Not even Hitler had such a good idea.
They “claim” they’ve found $55 billion
I’m no efficiency expert but that a -$710 billion loss
There's a sucker born every minute.
Grr.
Sadly, many will shut up.
I thought they didn’t like that kind of shit 🤣🤣🤣
💨💨pass
And had their ppp loans forgiven..
The DOGE PR man/ investor is James Fishback.
He was on @chriscuomo.bsky.social last night.
He talked a good game until Cuomo pushed back and then the anticipated juvenile scowl.
Hoping the math checks out for anyone saying this concept of a plan is actually going to fly.
Remember when he insisted he’d sign the checks and Dems were ”let the idiot do it, people will know who really managed to get that money for them”? A surprisingly large group of idiots still think he sent them his personal check.
Elon promises a lot. Elon delivers rarely.
9 million may not have gotten 1200.00 cares check
10.8 billion
you didn't get that
you didn't get 600.00
or 1400 from biden
i found $28.8 billion!!!!!
whistleblower me the 30%
WOOOOOOHOOOOO
$5k times 340 million=
$1.7 Trillion dollars
Don't believe the bullshit.
I say wait till they have nothing to send and vote Dem (if indeed the midterms are not already called off).
read fine print - probably no recourse for any legalese regarding any SS funds, future class- action court challenges, etc
Pure political
A firefighters salary?
A food & drug inspector?
To ensure an airport control tower is staffed?
An FBI agent surveilling terrorists?
What an insult - a lame payoff - to put up with destruction of our country.
Oh! Maybe that’s the plan. Kill off all working-middle class Americans so they don’t have to share the spoils.
Welcome to your American dystopian world.
Irrefutable damage with millions affected around the world.
Put the money that was stolen, back into SS and draw down the trillions of dollars of debt.
Incompetent fools!!
They used the word CUTS.
not fraud, not waste.
But CUTS.
Why did they use CUTS, Because they have found widespread fraud.
Not Only Easily Fooled but Stupid‼️
And, of course, only the ones Biden sent.
Imagine this on top of inflation revving up.
Every MAGAt running out and buying stuff x a couple months.
So dumb.
The problem is
It will be a small investment to the trillions he plans to steal
I wouldn’t want that check anyway. Give ppl their jobs back & cancel musk contracts instead.
Or is he suggesting we are all now “fork in the road” and he’s buying us all out in return for no gov’t agencies?
I’m just dying to know the deets on this lie.🙄🙄🙄
Seriously though, this would lead to short term growth and probably high inflation, follow quickly by contraction but the inflation would stay.
As well as dealing with excess profits of corporations.
Do Not Agree to Anything
DO NOT OBEY in Advance
Same thing Doug Ford did here in my province a month prior to election (Feb 27, literally a week from now).
We need a rewind to January 19th and cancel the inauguration of the felon!!!

I mean, "don't put yourself on the back yet, Elon".
This is a desperate attempt to deflect criticism for destroying vital services and lives. AND, Trump loves to put his name on government checks, which he did during COVID.
Got it.
But he's a cheap motherfucker. What a fucking weirdo.

Signed the checks during Covid and the low info voters thought he was giving them money! Fools, dunces, I tell you. We’ll take away your healthcare and SNAP benefits, but 👀 here, 5K for your trouble.
Make no mistake, this was baked into the plan from the start. $5000 each to turn over the country.
They know most of us are whores
Now he's actively starving people to death. Everyday Americans should probably not start trotting out to the mailbox eagerly for their "check."

Then give the 1% more tax breaks using money they "save" by making the rest of us suffer.
