1. He isn't going to do Jack shit. He's making himself look bad

Even worse than he already looks since he can't grow a beard.

Why are we being punished by these assholes?
We work hard, take care of our business and mind our own business. Why do we have to be subjected to these complete pieces of shit?

2. Yeah, with a simple mind he will cut everything but the socialist programs he plugs into.

3. Simply cut the military to Canada levels

Then completely eliminate Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid but still collect the taxes and we will pay off the debt in about 30 years. And, no, I have not run the numbers on this.

8. If we cut the military to that. Good luck to the rest of the world.

It would be a disaster for the world.

4. Over a period of several years it could be doable, in one year no way. nt

6. Depends upon whether current Republicans expect to be re-elected

in the House and the Senate in 2026.

7. No. He will not cut $2T in spending

he will divert that $2T to himself and friends. The money has already been allocated. It just won't go to the expected recipients, like agencies, departments, and such.

9. Musk said he'll release each program he intends to cut by name and amount of money given by taxpayers

That will definitely allow Americans to decide for themselves if they want a certain program cut. It really could be good talking points for the Democratic Party if he actually does this.
