Elon Musk warns US will be 'toast' if 1 problem isn't solved -- says the government is 'basically unfixable

Speaking at the recent “All In Summit,” Musk described his stint in Washington as “a hell of a side quest” and didn’t hold back when asked what he’d learned [1].

“The government is basically unfixable,” he declared, drawing laughter — and then applause — from the audience.

According to DOGE’s 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 America’s ballooning debt.

Easy solution you drugged out punk ass. You and your ilk need to pay their fair share.

Not sure I'm happy with all he is doing, but taking it all away seems like a pretty good idea. At least it'll slow down his chance to pop up elsewhere.

Saying the US is “basically unfixable” and they’re enjoying massive tax relief and contracts?

Elon can go fuck himself with that chainsaw. I fully understand that performing such a feat can be difficult, so I'm willing to pull the cord and shove the spinning teeth right up his ass.

At least one of us will derive tremendous pleasure.

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.

can't be done on the cheap when the captains of industry run their companies that way, stiffing workers on their fair wages.

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!
