Musk is the biggest fucking Vulture on the US government. And he's from South Africa! Hey MAGA - working for you yet?

Cutting out all the treason would save a ton, and we’d be much safer.

And no dem members of congress rallying with this messaging which is disappointing.

aS LONG AS they don't take an actual salary.....they will take it all.

You were a Republican long enough to know that hypocrisy is baked into the brand

I was just researching the amount of money spent by Congress yesterday. It’s an insane amount of money. I’m on your same wavelength Adam.

Absolutely

Greed and Arrogance!!

They should also start with defunding Musk of all conflicts of interest!Get him out of our data! Musk is only looking after his own interests. Tell Congress. Defund Musk. Restore USAID as per courts! Support orgs in fight for it @democracyforward.org @democrats.org @indivisible.org now is the time

😡😡😡

I think Trump would love musk to cut congressional budgets just to watch his little butt buddies squirm even more to see how far they will go to try and stay in his good graces. Jokes on them, he had no good graces

People need to protest. It might seem pointless, but they do see it. They do know we outnumber them. All of them. They do know that people will turn on them in '26. Honestly, even if they do start pushing back on Trump and Musk, they'll still get reelected because stupidity is institutionalized.

Boebert is useless as tits on a boar hog; Greene has the intellectual capacity of RFK's brain worm, Cruz probably has Neurosyphilis from his Aspen days with Boebert - hell, the entire GOP Taliban probably does by now. 25% RIF of the Waffle House Republicans would be easy if it was merit based.

They keep tellin' us, it's all about waste & fraud ! Yet they enter these agencies, swinging a hatchet, with a list of names in their hand of who they WANT to fire, before they've even had a look ! Basically, they're disabling all the agencies that support or protective US !

Cut the staff and send them to Greenland

That would be leading by example, something real leaders do. This is a bunch of hypocrites that want people to do what they say, not what they themselves do. Classic toxic boss behaviour.

Hey Now... That looks an awful lot like me...

musk doesn't have ANY skin in the game. He wasn't born here, he doesn't pay taxes, and he wasn't elected.

Great piece! Too bad it will never happen.

Elon Musk's contracts with our government are waste & fraudulent. We don't need Congress to have Teslas & other companies can send satellites for about half the price.

Adam, I think it's going to be up to you and other conservatives and liberals who have action in their sleeves, and not just words in their mouths. We need an organizing group of activists with large platforms to decide how to best motivate the masses to respond in a focused and meaningful ways.

Defend Musk and any govt contracts he has.

The complete lack of transparency is mind bending!

I am having a hard time listening to how Republicans are totally innocent and Democrats totally responsible for $36 trillion in debt, especially when Trump added $8trillion to national debt and $10trillion to fed reserve debt.

Adam this should explain why Musk is doing this sh*t! www.mind-war.com/p/musk-to-un...

Department Of the Government of Elon!

That photo is jarring.

A budget cut is a good thing, but most importantly I want to know that our representatives are working for the people, not for lobbyists. To that end, I'd welcome pay raises coupled with a ban on stock market trading, as well as other measures enforcing fiscal transparency.

Yes. It's gone.

Hear, hear!

How they got this far is beyond me. This is a coup and it’s complete.

Pay no attention to the man behind the desk, the great and powerful Musk is speaking.

I wish this would not hurt uncorrupt legislators more.

Now he's claimed sole Judiciary power for himself and the AG. What is Dem leadership waiting for?? I'm tired of them just talking.

Sadly, I think it will require removing the president from power, but without control of the house and senate, that seems to be an impossible dream. The only other things that can stop him are the courts, or civil war.

Tell us about the perks.

Reposting edit/reply to a similar post: This is a distraction from the real problem: a tax system based on the fantasy of trickle down economics. If Congress uses staff to constituents and craft legislation, the cost is trivial relative to the nature of the problem. So why keep pushing it?

Thank goodness for lawmakers calling out Trump and Musk's hypocrisy !

Oh. And wait until Congress finds out Trump doesn’t need them either. I can see the EO now. GOP Senate & Congress are the stupidest traitors. All the $$ Elon will save not having to pay staff & elected officials salaries.

You can always spot the corrupt because they never divest. I think it's that cut n dried

But that actually makes sense.

Maybe start taxing billionaires as a start!

I really appreciate you calling this out.

💯💯💯

And they should ALL pay there damn taxes. And NOT be given tax CUTS. THE BS about if these Oligarchs pay taxes it will mean they won’t be able to afford to run their businesses is just that BS. PAY YOUR DAMN TAXES IS THE WAY TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. NOT BEING GREEDY LITTLE BASTARDS

Like 400 million for the armored refrigerator on wheels? Yeah, let’s start there.

They’re literally just looting the government

It's not even a government approved or funded department!!! Why the fuck is he allowed access to ANYTHING????

If they want to get rid of waste then get rid of Elons government contracts.

we have a very, very corrupt president!!

ummmm.....those numbers were the Democrat voters.

www.reddit.com/r/themayormc...

We all know they're not. Pure grift

And they won’t

Speaking of waste - how much did it cost taxpayers for 47 to attend the Super Bowl, or to have his motorcade circle the track at the Daytona 500? 😡

Oh Adam, what Congress? By the end of this year, your US Congress will, if it even exists, have a different name. Any thoughts anyone as to what the new name will be?

Exactly! It's a bait & switch and MAGA supporters are too... dense,(I'm being kind)... to see!

Of course they will. Trump just blamed inflation starting again on Biden. It is heartbreaking and totally infuriating at the same time. 😣

It’s never been about cutting waste, it’s about installing fascism

I take your point. But if we want to attract promising, smart people into politics, we can’t continue to pay them slave wages. One of the problems with running for office is the salary compared to the private sector. While I understand “what’s good for the goose” I don’t agree with this ex.

Ouch

Cut government spending by not having the convicted phone go to sporting events that cost well over $1 million for him to go. Air Force One in the entourage of all the Secret Service people. That gets expensive.

Really gross use of AI for the image. Be Better.

Hypocrisy has been the hallmark of the GOP for generations. That is what softened up the American public for this disgrace. Stand up America, don't die on your knees

& their Healthcare. Why are they not getting the same crap we get?

They should be cutting the funding of musk and the republicans they are waste and fraud

America pubic, we must stop the USA transfer of wealth into Musk pockets. Musk is going to check out the gold reserves for ???, Putin??

The procurement order has just been reworded so it doesn’t read cyber trucks. And those things are so useless, they can’t even get out of a snowbank. There are so many conflicts of interest with musk, it’s hard to tally them all.

I agree

You act like they will have any sense of embarrassment or concern about sounding fair or being efficient.

no one is surprised by this....it was coming. We need to raise hell!!

That’s what I’d say.

The South African NERD immigrant Putin puppet nazi who is NOT an American but thinks he is. He plays the fake tough guy & bully on his dying social media platform. How pathetic 😆. He has the maturity of a 13 yr old. All he does is play dress up. He’s a coward, freak & a joke who dresses like a 🤡.

Start with criminal trump, of all govt depts & individual suppliers he wastes the most taxpayers money, never his own, always someone else's. Then look at wastage in Ketamine Musk's SpaceX programs. No, it is not looking for waste, it's doing Putin's bidding in the destruction of a great country.

Scratch that. Helps to refresh your memory of the Constitution before posting…. Lesson learned…. Maybe….

The only thing they’re serious about is becoming an authoritarian government.

How do we know the true numbers of unemployment when federal workers cannot apply for unemployment because they have no paperwork? And how do we count the Pat that have resigned under protest? 🤷🏼‍♂️

To tell you the truth all government officials should make cuts by having no staff to guide them...... Hell, let's cut all government period.

After the Revolution, white men had their PRIVATE "Republic", while simultaneously assuming King George's rule of the country, creating a monopoly of wealth & power which was never dismantled. That dual monopoly was never democratized, bc white men wouldn't allow it. They want to steal. Period.

Stop subsidizing Tesla . Create more pollution seeking rare earth metals and safe storage of hazardous used batteries. Power grid cannot support car chargers infrastructure not there.

He is telling you what you want to hear while he robs you blind

If the 2017 Trump tax cuts were allowed to expire this year, that would end the interest payments our government makes on the money it borrowed to give those cuts. Nobody talks about this.

Absolutely

No surprise, they want to spend money on their favorites👍

OK sky daddy. If you are what you pretend to be: make it right. Rid us from this orange nightmare. Help the world survive this hiccup of world-leader.

Be the Pitchfork in the Road... Stop the Trump/Musk Coup... chng.it/9xjBqFpJ52

Just think about all the lawsuits the government is going to face for all the illegal firings. Way to save money DOGE

Along with Trumps golf and Nascar races and super bowls

I think that we all know that they're not remotely interested in cuts, or fraud, or corruption. They are interested in demolition; The feudal fiefdoms they imagine need a clean slate to spawn.

Try this work of resistance from Jen Ward and Marvin Schneider jenuinehealing.com/video/disman...

Correct, the tell is firing ALL the inspector generals. Trump is the puppet, but the rot financing this is who must pay. Tax them at 95%, takeover Musks companies for the people and they can fund education & universal healthcare. Restore the federal workforce, NOW!

I hear they really just want to increase unemployment with all of the firings to soften economic conditions and ultimately bring about lower rates.

So what else is new? You just noticed bc now you don’t benefit from it

This is an example of Musk's view of government efficiency. The federal government awarded Elon Musk's company a $38.85 million contract on Monday as the billionaire works to slash other contracts.

Of course they have to slash government spending for everybody. Oh wait a second ... The federal government awarded Elon Musk's company a $38.85 million contract on Monday as the billionaire works to slash other contracts.

or mango mussolini’s golf games @ $4mil each “”Congress wants to cut government but not their own budgets. Elon Musk's 'Dept. of Government Efficiency' wants to slash spending—except on his own gov-funded ventures. If they’re serious about cuts, they should start with their own staff and perks”

DOGE is a Trojan horse...

They are nothing but pirates of the trump-be-elon! Pirates!!!

You got it, Adam. Elon Musk keeps acting as though he's the cat's meow, and Don Don Trump acts as though he's the cream of the crop. There are those in Congress who need to wake up.

You know, I just realized something. If things were to ever go “back to normal “ you will have to find a new name for your party. I think the current term has been ruined.

And Why does NO ONE talk about reasonable tax increases? The very rich I am sure won't miss it.Also,SS payments need to be tax at ALL income levels. That would solve the SS system that we all paid into. I wish I were King.

Sooo, will GM change the trim level name from Denali to Mckinley🤣. Yep and there is most certainly a conflict of interest. Musk must be controlled or at least vetted like any other cabinet position. Oh wait...R's are now all truly FUBAR. Fucked Up Beyond All Reason. DOGE.Help me break that down.

Nah, they’ll just will just eliminate NASA and turn it all over to muskrat.

Rescind

Get rid of him. And Doge.
