Elon Musk said the DOGE office would cut nearly $150 billion in spending for the 2026 fiscal year.

1. As I have stated:

Krasnov's pet muskrat and his merry band of teenage mutant ninja techies are going to end up costing us the Taxpayers multiple times what they are "saving."

[Fla Dem]

2. Not even 1/2 what Musk is worth......$362 Billion.

3. The fool has no idae.

Musk is a gormless twit.

He has no idea about savings.
Never has never will

4. That is a long ways from the trillion you said at first.

[Wonder Why]

5. As Maxwell Smart would say (if you are old enough to remember)

Would you believe $5 trillion in savings?

How about $1 billion?

$37.24?

[speak easy]

12. $4.20

[mdbl]

6. You would have a hard time making me believe that Eloon normally made business decisions

Because when he does it himself he seems to F it all up - kinda like Dump.

7. At some unknown point in the future when all of its "savings" and expenses are taken into account, DOGE will be seen...

...clearly to have been a net liability but also to have been a sham effort designed to liberate Elon and the other billionaires from the governmental regulation which they so fear and despise.

A lot of the damage that DOGE is doing now will be externalized and that will be something for which accounting may not easily be done.

8. You know damn well

when all is said and done the "savings" will be about 1 one thousands percent of Musks number.

[Karasu]

9. Abolish this fucking sham of a "department." They're barely even pretending anymore.

[Bayard]

10. $150B is a drop in the bucket

Especially considering the misery they've caused.

[Prairie Gates]

11. Overpromise, underperform is a real character trait with these shitheels

It's all bad, but this is also just embarrassing.
