Musk backs off the pledge to cut government by $2 trillion

[struth]

Musk's claim was often noted as a major reason to support trump.

Really? Where?

 

[whitehall]

Musk doesn't have the political power to make pledges. Why is the left so hysterical about cutting useless government programs? I thought we were all in this together. Is it good news or bad news to the left?

Musk only wants DOGE to screw potential competitors and make sure his sweet government checks keep flowing
.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

so they are like so many other politicians....im shocked....

Nope. No other politicians would promise anything so obviously dumb.
You still bought it though.

 

[Lumpy 1]

Yes. The world's richest dumb frat/tech bro is gonna save our government.

So .. you picked Biden to save America, how did that work out?

I didn't vote for Brandon. I didn't vote for the orange bag O' shit either. I detest both political tribes in this country. I'm relaxing on my lawn chair watching you destroy yourselves.

 

[Crepitus]

Hilarious. He's not even part of DOGE yet and liberals are saying he's not going to keep his promises.

Can you give the man a chance?

He's saying he can't keep his promises, not me.

 

[Crepitus]

When it comes to massive undertakings such as that, the idiots should have looked at the numbers before making promises. They were promising things they knew they couldn't accomplish.

And here they are, covering for him.

We already knew that. Most of you kids had no clue.

Say's probably not even half that is possible.

Musk can't cut spending, trump can't lower grocery prices, and eggs are more expensive than ever.

So much for all the campaign promises

Further proof of the stupidity of Trump voters.

He did say if he did it, it would destroy the US economy for years.... and MAGA people went "yay" and then said "I'm voting Trump for a better economy".

The dude could have said "I'm going to rape your grandma and kill your mum" and they'd have cheered.

We dodged a bullet from Harris then. WE would face higher taxes had she won. As tariffs cause prices to rise, so does income taxes.

My grandmas are dead and so is Mum. You need to dig all of them up to tax them.

He is trying to not make false promises. He did not say he can't cut taxes for us all and cut spending.

He sucks. You voted for him. **** all the way off.
