5. Musk was the one who promised "temporary hardship"

Elon Musk assures voters that Trump’s victory would deliver “temporary hardship”
And he’s half right.

If elected, Trump has vowed to put Musk in charge of a “government efficiency commission,” which would identify supposedly wasteful programs that should be eliminated or slashed. During a telephone town hall last Friday, Musk said his commission’s work would “necessarily involve some temporary hardship.”

...so the voter in the clip who made the statement about the first 100 days being difficult probably pieced that together from a number of Trump and Musk sound bites.
