President Trump and Musk stood by their cost-cutting efforts. They said "billions" in waste had already been discovered, but offered few specifics on how they were arriving at those estimates.

Did Musk just post on X “Constitution, Congress, Courts, I don’t need that $hit any more than I need that Chump Trump! Oops, shouldn’t have said that out loud.”??? Or did I just have a nightmare?

THERE WILL BE A RECKONING! Evil always plants the seeds of its own destruction. This will not end well. The Nation we cherished is no more. RESIST !!! The Founding Principles & Ideals will rise like the Phoenix from the ashes. BANNING BILLIONAIRE CAMPAIGN $$$ MUST BE ARTICLE ONE!!!!!!

Super impressed by how good the boys were while their Daddy was talking to reporters, both the toddler and Trump were extremely well behaved. Such good boys.

Yet no one is making sure lying Musk is not lining his own pockets or trump's? I no longer believe we are the land of the free. We are being run by the terminally crooked and stupid.

Musk cut cancer research funding and didn't even know it. His team is moving like crackheads at a construction site, ripping out all the electrical to score some more ketamine. What they are doing is a far cry from whatever it is they say they are doing. So much so, they won't let people observe.

So Musk barges into the Oval Office and conducts the show while Trump sits there like a witless fool - he probably has no idea what Musk is really doing and Musk knows that but wimpy press doesn’t ask him if he intends to set up a private pay system feckless legacy media

The DOGE website is one blank page. No transparency, no forensic accounting, fake stories about condos to outrage those gullible enough to believe anything. So much winning.

Don’t ignore the fact there is no fraud. All of this funding has been legally funded and approved. The “fraud” is simple a list of stuff Elon doesn’t like. That is not his choice to make. He is welcome to identify things he doesn’t like but it’s Congress that has the final say.

Trump & Elon lack basic public service skills. When you eliminate public service employees and have unemployment through tariffs cuts, you have to deal with unemployment benefits, increased homelessness crisis, and economic recession. Just because you fire them, doesn’t mean you eliminated costs.

Please correct your headline to no specifics They just got audited in December. I guess they didn’t see that. We need you to report accurately and unflinchingly Can we do that NPR?

Elon Musk makes billions of dollars in tax payer funded government contracts. This is a conflict of interest & we’ve reached a #constitutionalcrisis since they don’t plan to adhere to the courts ruling against them. The separation of powers is over. They are gutting our constitution.

Sure, my cat can pull numbers out of his ass too, but that doesn't mean he's helping pay the bills 🙄 There is no oversight, no reporting, and no transparency to make a determination if what they're saying is true. Just overriding Congress instead of using the correct legislative processes.

Their definition of waste is feeding starving children and helping the disabled versus lining their pockets. The media refuses to call them out on this. At least confront them on what they mean.

After watching Musk in the Oval Office today in his giddy mood parading his kid around, I’m reminded of history. Oligarchs are parasites. One day soon people will have had enough. One day he will feel the repercussions of his actions and will cower in fear knowing his billions can’t save him.

@npr.org Tell. The. Truth. They are marauding congressional appropriated funds and agencies with zero oversight. And — Musk stood in the Oval Office and lied to reporters today when he said their work is transparent. @joncooper-us.bsky.social for the assist: bsky.app/profile/jonc...

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

“They said "billions" in waste had already been discovered, but offered few specifics on how they were arriving at those estimates.” It’s easy when you pull numbers out of your ass.

They are cutting programs desperately needed for lower income people to get their basic needs met. Yet, how many hundreds of thousands were spent of our taxpayer dollars for FOTUS to go to Super Bowl?
