Speaking at the recent All In Summit, Musk described his stint in Washington as a hell of a side quest and didnt hold back when asked what hed learned [1].
The government is basically unfixable, he declared, drawing laughter and then applause from the audience.
According to DOGEs website, the initiative has racked up an estimated $206 billion in savings, though critics have questioned the math [2].
For Musk, the real problem is Americas ballooning debt.

At least one of us will derive tremendous pleasure.

(26,000 posts)Obviously not. He was and is, a financial black hole.
Musk himself borrows from Peter to Pay Paul, with his various businesses.
Like all magats (magae?) he only saw what he wanted to see, not the obvious skullduggery practiced for decades.
Seriously, can you look at a scam like Trump University (to name just one) and think that the guy had any business savvy?
Other than blackmail and threats.

(I bet the quarter million people you had fired under DOGE would be willing also.)
Justice matters.
(9,923 posts)he should shut up and enjoy his obcene rip off.
How about taxing the rich who make more than ten million a year up to 95% with zero loopholes?
And take that money to pay of Universal Healthcare for ALL!
