Summary

Elon Musk, co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency under Donald Trump’s advisory team, revised his claim of finding $2 trillion in federal budget cuts to a “best-case outcome” of $1 trillion.

Musk’s earlier target, dismissed as unrealistic by experts, had included the entire discretionary budget of $1.7 trillion.

While Musk and co-lead Vivek Ramaswamy plan to recommend cuts, specifics remain unclear.

Experts warn savings may require targeting mandatory programs like Medicaid, potentially causing hardships.

    Yes he does. Right now they are all virtually MAGA as well. They believe Leon can do no wrong and believe that all the MAGAs are going to buy Tesla now.

      Correct me if I’m wrong. I was under the impression that a substantial part of MAGAs are climate change deniers and gasoline bros who drive huge trucks and SUVs. Now they all want teslas? I’m confused.
