A Point Musk Has Not Considered

Elon Musk is determined force a shut-down of the federal government. As a foreigner, Musk only has a rudimentary understanding of how the U.S. Government operates.

As Musk is eager to see Social Security and Medicare cease to exist and force tens-of-millions of retired and disabled Americans into poverty and homelessness, does he understand a government shut-down will not accomplish this?

“If the federal government shuts down this weekend, work at numerous publicly funded agencies would slow or stop altogether, while millions of government employees would stop receiving paychecks.”

“But Social Security benefits would still go out”

“Social Security is considered a mandatory program, and it's not funded by the shorter-term continuing-resolution bills that have kept the government operating in recent years amid Washington political gridlock.”

So, crafty old Elon will have to wait until next year, after dictator trump enters the White House on January 20th. He, trump, can then, by royal proclamation, declare Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other programs defunct. This action should have the millions of trump cultists dancing in the streets.

I don't think being a foreigner (he's a US citizen by the way) has any impact on understanding how the US government works. Plenty of Americans have no idea, and I'm sure quite a lot of foreigners do.
 
Here we have literythe world's richest man, dictating what regular people should get and what they shouldn't get.

It's as if Republicans decided "let's implement the definition of oligarchy in America!"

You can't make this stuff up folks.

Musk has a tear it down mentality
No concept of how he plans to replace it

Thats not true
 
Musk is a genius and also possesses common sense.....Pretty rare in that orbit.

I'm pretty sure he is fine with a glass half full as far as gutting the .gov is concerned. :)
 
It takes a person outside government to see what's wrong with government.
 
Interesting........seems the Democrats tried to pull an old switcheroo. Get Biden elected to get the unelectable Harris into office.

Republicans got Trump elected to get the unelectable South African into office.

Musk is gutting the Government without first considering the tasks that are being performed and the long term impacts of cutting them
It takes years to build a qualified workforce and Musks plans seem centered on cutting the most qualified.

Due to his large reliance on government investment in his companies,he seems to have a conflict of interests
 
Damn, you are special kind of stupid aren't you....Do you and Joe compare notes every morning?

I agree with Joe maybe 30% of the time. He would have never said what I said so........................pay closer attention.
 
Nobody supports cuts to social security and medicare. That would be disastrous in all aspects for people. Why would anyone want that?

Maybe they personally have no need for those programs and it's all about them?
 
He hasnt even said he wanted to cut SS or medicare. He said it needed to be reformed.
Media duped millions. Again.
Dumbasses.

I do… because they’re unconstitutional and immoral expenditures of government funds.
