      Actually they made a new department of “Government Oversight” for him…

      Which sounds scummy, but it’s basically ju8st a department that looks for places to cut the budget and reduce waste… not a bad idea, except it’s Right Wingers running it so “Food” would be an example of frivolous spending and “Planes that don’t fly” would be what they’re looking to keep the cash flowing on

          With Musk what he’d see as wasteful is… anything that isn’t his fucking kickbacks or programs that make his ex-wife start returning his calls.

            He said he was gonna cut the federal budget by ~30%, or roughly two trillion dollars. I saw an economist say that if you fired Every. Single. Govt. Employee it still wouldn’t save two trillion dollars. It’s just absolutely insane.

            Sharpen up the 'tines, me hearties. The time is nigh.
