Is this why Elon will be leaving the regime soon?

Musk says DOGE to save $150B in fiscal 2026, down from earlier $1T view​

He was only off by $850B. Okay, so he's a better engineer than financial prognosticator. I'm sure the number would be bigger if not for all those annoying "activist judges" getting in the way by enforcing the law.

Musk is a fraud and liar – nothing he says can be believed.

2 years ago you were saying righties were idiots for not excepting his electric car and musk was the new edison....now do you see why i say you are a hypocrite?..

They could have done this right. With real audits, real planning, smart execution.

Instead, like everything else, they went full caveman.

What a ******* wasted opportunity.

Presidents have said for 50 years they were gonna eliminate fraud and abuse. Did it work?

What you mean is they should have delayed so that leftwing judges could have stopped the leftwing corruption and payola discoveries completely.

Trump did it the right way. Surprised them then hammered the hell out of them right out of the blocks before they could fully obstruct.

 

[IDIOCRACY]

If the Trump tax cuts are so bad, why didn't democrats repeal them the 4 years they've been in the white house since?

Speaking for the liberals, you're not going to get an answer, because we're cowardly, weak and twisted.

 

[Twisted Gypsy Child]

Misplaced tax dollars???
Call it a banana if you want. You are such a good minion.
You have the makings for being a good communist, comrade.

A bloated government where agencies overlap one another IS the "waste".
Yes, people do get fired in private companies in the real world AND in government.

misplaced tax dollars. chawbacon can't figure it out...

Yup

No arrests

No real spending cuts. Another Kabuki Theater from the Republican Party

[Concerned American]

I hadn't thought of it but now that the savings will be so much lower it will make the upcoming tax cut for the rich all the more difficult to justify.

Didn't you make money over the last two weeks? LOL. I'm loving it. My accounts have increased substantially. BTW, I'm not rich and I've gotten $$$ back every year of the tax cuts and this year my return was paid in less than two weeks. Refreshing to see gov't do what they are paid to do.

 

[Concerned American]

It was never going to be the deficit altering wet dream sold to the rubes. But at least it could have been efficient. Instead we got the kind of chaos that's the hallmark of trumpery.

Protect yourself. Buy treasuries. LMAO

When Clinton did it yeah.

Musk?

Not even close

Biden didn't strand them there. Boeing stranded them there. This is nothing to do with Biden.

It took Musk a YEAR to make that rescue. At least this rocket didn't blow up like the last two.

Biden left them stranded. He did nothing to try to rescue them.

Musk got them home.

Musk has many more successes than your entire country has.
What does that say for your country? hmmm?

 

[Delldude]

When Clinton did it yeah.

I don't recall Clinton finding 150 billion in waste.
I don't recall Clinton finding money laundering/fraud in USAID and USIP and shutting them down.
I do recall Clinton did set the precedent for mass firings.

Biden didn't strand them there.

Biden didn't want to deal with it as Musk offered to bring them home last year. That would have given Trump great bragging points in His campaign.

It took Musk a YEAR to make that rescue

Musk offered in August last year, why was it Biden didn't give him the nod then?

 

[otto105]

Once you "cut it" you don't "extend it" for another 10 years. Once and done.

"Thanks to your fantastic leadership, the amazing Cabinet, the very talented DOGE team, I'm excited to announce that we anticipate savings in F26 from reduction of waste and fraud by $150 billion"

Musk recently told Fox News that DOGE would cut around $1T by the end of his time as the head of the department.

Not even close

leon is still lying about savings.

DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress

Elon said in the very beginning that he would only do it for a few months. Has it been a few months? If so, apparently he told us the truth.

I'm guessing that this is only a modest contributing factor.

Far more dominant is the idea that he has become an embarrassment and political liability to his boss.

His on-stage and on-camera behaviors are oftentimes juvenile and cringe-worthy.

And the boss simply doesn't like sharing the spotlight - especially to the extent and duration we've seen in all this recently.

Time for him to head back to the private sector and lose himself in recovering lost wealth and moving his companies forward.
