How could anyone approve/disapprove of Musk's performance yet? What's he achieved/ failed to deliver? He's only been there five minutes...

What they should disapprove of is (a) Musk's bestowed unelected power and (b) thinking he can run overhaul the US government the way he runs the shitshow that is X.

The US would get by if X went c~nt-up.

Wait till essential services are affected by wild cutbacks...

Cambell Newman played Mini Musk a few years back and crippled Queensland services... Lucky for Queenslanders they binned the c~nt and restored services.

What power has Musk been bestowed with?.

DOGE, which Musk heads, is not a government department, so Trump has bypassed Congress... He has allowed Musk to install at least 4 DOGE positions in every department with the highest access to departmental information and data - none of this has been confirmed or approved by Congress.

$47,000 on a transgender opera in Colombia

Thousands? A few paltry million? Please...

The big trillion-dollar spender with a black budget is the US military... Wait till Musk tries his cutbacks there... The military will mail his balls back to South Africa.

Anyway, any savings will be funnelled into Musk projects - namely AI.

Good morning MeisterEckhart, Those are only the very first spending wastes that Elon has identified, there will be plenty more to come, like the $8mil dished out to the media and I'm sure you have read about others. On the military front I think you will see their budget increase once they audit where the money is going. The military has had a boost in enlistments since Hegseth has been appointed.

It is strange that the dems don't want the people that pay taxes to know where their money goes. You would think they would be proud to show where they spent the money and not trying everything they can to avoid the people knowing where it was spent.

If you're worried about Government spending and accountability, why did Trump get rid of the IGs?

I'm not worried about government spending and accountability. You have audits to make sure the spending is being used properly.

As you know spending on aid very rarely gets more than 20c to the dollar to the intended recipient. If taxpayers are struggling in America it seems a bit strange not want to know where your money is going and for the dems to try and restrict information about it.

DOGE isn't a real department but they're getting full access to everything they want and are enforcing physical lock out from department buildings they have no right to do.

They're also making code changes to various systems without oversight and apparently without even QA.

If the shoe was on the other foot, these private security guards would have been gunned down by MAGA supporters.

They're lucky the left actually values the law.

I wonder if they should still bother with that notion though. MAGA, Republicans and Trump certainly aren't.

The left just gave plenty of their mates a pardon for any laws they have broken over the last decade including family members of Biden and at the same time were sprouting how "No one is above the law". You just have to admit that the Dems have no respect for the law.

Yes, because government is failing to create "an economy which works for all" eg 40% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, some with even 2 or more jobs to make ends meet.

Quote:

Yes; and we won't have to wait long to see the outcome of Musk's policies.

Quote:

Both sides (R and L) believe in the 'taxpayer money' nonsense, the argument is over what government spending should fund, eg, more military or better health, education and infrastructure.

One nickel he exposed was $3bil spent on housing for veterans and $12bil spent on illegal immigrant housing. Trump believes that its more important to find housing for veterans than illegal immigrants.

Data provided by the same source that reported the 'tsunami' of fentanyl coming from Canada, warranting 25% tariffs, was it? Trump's arse?
