    Horseshit. They are not being honest about clearing government waste. Any talk of reducing government spending without significant cuts to the military is a fable.

    Any minor good things they do will be completely overshadowed by the pilfering of the country for a select few.

      hey are not being honest about clearing government waste. Any talk of reducing government spending without significant cuts to the military is a fable.

      I’m going to be ready to applaud if they somehow do deliver on their promises in a way that doesn’t screw over important services. I don’t see any way for them to hit the $2T mark that Musk claims w/o very painful cuts to the military, Social Security, and Medicare (which they’re not going to make), but I’ll certainly applaud them for any waste cutting that doesn’t screw over a large subset of the population.

      I’m not saying we should stop calling out their BS, I’m saying we should applaud them if they actually do a good thing. How much applause vs boos they get is up to them.
