Trump’s Biggest Donor (Elon Musk) Is Promising ‘Temporary Hardship’ For Americans

No, dumbass, that ain't news to me! What about idiot George Bush who passed tax cuts TWICE during wartime?
Uh, Fourth time, it's Congress that passes tax cuts, not the President. It seems it is news to you, "dumbass"
 
The government has dozens of duplicative and wasteful departments. It's time to get rid of them.
 


Billionaire Elon Musk’s statements are stunningly contrary to Trump’s sunnier description of American life under a second Trump presidency.

Former President Donald Trump’s biggest financial backer and top campaign surrogate, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, says he and Trump plan to inflict “temporary hardship” on American citizens if the Republican nominee wins the White House in November.

Trump has said Musk would lead a commission on how to reduce government spending, and Musk has said he would identify trillions in cuts.

“We have to reduce spending to live within our means. That necessarily involves some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity,” Musk said last week during a “Telephone Town Hall” hosted on his social media website.

Musk, the tech billionaire who has spent more than $130 million backing Trump and regularly spreads racist conspiracy theories about immigration and voting, acknowledged that steep cuts would trigger political opposition, but said Trump would support the idea of everyone “taking a haircut,” an informal financial term for when an asset loses value.

“President Trump is supportive that everyone’s taking a haircut here because America’s got to live within its means, and we can’t be a wastrel,” Musk said.

On Tuesday, Musk offered a similar sentiment. On X, the website formally known as Twitter until Musk bought it, a user wrote Trump’s plan for mass deportations, “combined with Elon hacking away at the government, firing people and reducing the deficit” could cause a “severe overreaction in the economy,” with markets tumbling, followed by “a rapid recovery to a healthier, sustainable economy.”

“Sounds about right,” Musk replied.

Economists in both parties say removing millions of people from the country abruptly and imposing tariffs would quickly lead to price spikes and reignite inflation. When coupled with Trump’s plans to further cut taxes on the wealthy and corporations, his economic policy would in effect raise taxes on lower- and middle-income Americans to pay for high-income tax cuts.

Sounds brutal and unfair! What do you think?


Look at the Trumpers grab their ankles and beg for more, as the billionaire tells them he will lower their standard of living.

Embarrassing.

The only people who will see hardship are the deadbeat mooching losers who rely on MY tax dollars vs working a job.

Except most people who take government assistance have jobs. So no, you're wrong.

Elon Musk will use the government to subsidize corporate profits, just as he has proudly said in the past he would do. And is doing now, with Tesla.

I can deal with that. My guess is those hardest hit will be the moochers who live off the Government either as direct employees of the Government or as individuals being supported by the Social Safety Net.

You have to put in the unpleasant hours at the gym and eat less of the fun foods of you want to trim the waistline and rebuild that body. It’s just a fact of life.

As if real Americans have no experience with handling "temporary hardship".

I say "bring it".

.
 
From the OP:

“If you’re an individual and you’re racking up crazy debt, well obviously the thing to do is reduce some spending and you’ve got to start paying down that debt. The same is true of a country. So that’s what I’d like to do,” Musk said, adding if it were possible he’d like to balance the budget “immediately.”

“Obviously, a lot of people who are taking advantage of the government are going to be upset about that. I’m probably going to need a lot of security. But it’s got to be done.”
First off. I don't know that i believe a damn word you say...and then.....

So effing what. The American people have tightened their belts. and if that is what it takes to get this country out the hands of these damn dems, SO BE IT.
 
Temporary hardship and market disruption a.

Thanks I’ll pass on that
