Musk

He doesn't understand the consequences of cutting this/that.

=============================================

Elon Musk told a cheering crowd at Sunday's MAGA rally in New York
that if Donald Trump puts him in charge of government efficiency, as
planned, he can cut "at least $2 trillion" from the current federal
budget.

And that can only mean one of two things.

Either Donald Trump and Elon Musk are planning to cut 85% of all
spending on highways, disaster relief, federal bank-deposit insurance
and the departments of Agriculture, Homeland Security and Justice;
close all U.S. embassies; and abolish the Environmental Protection
Agency, the Small Business Administration, NASA and nearly all
welfare, income-support, food-stamp and childhood-nutrition programs.

Or they are planning on cutting Social Security and Medicare --
despite Donald Trump's protests to the contrary.
