Musk sucks at logic. You can disapprove of DOGE’s goal and also point out that they’re lying about how close they are to it. There’s no contradiction or hypocrisy there.
I love this idea that somehow we are saving money when making cuts to many life saving and necessary services. Like OK, so we cut funding to NOAA, NASA, Medicare, Medicaid, social security, the post office, the department of education, the IRS, the EPA the CDC and some how there’s not going to be a big oh shit moment when we realize that those things were required for general maintenance of the country.
Like, I’m gunna cut a lot of cost by no longer changing my tires on my car and just driving in the rain with bald tires. There’s simply no way that would end bad for me or anyone else in the vicinity of my automobile.
I just saved a ton of money each month by cancelling all of my health insurance!
To be fair insurance providers shirk obligations to pay for your treatment anyway. It’s why Luigi is so damn popular.
Yeah, his blow-up with Rubio 100% confirms that he genuinely thinks that layoffs - not retirements, but actual firing someone - are a metric for success, and that every government contract can be canceled and the whole value of the contract is somehow recovered, which is amazingly idiotic.
They just need to make it down the block though.
There’s gonna be an oh shit moment for a lot of the supporters hopefully, but the actual people in power want the government to collapse. Their goal is to remake all aspects of the government as a private for profit business. The first steps in such a plan is obviously the destruction of public services like the Mail.
The goal here is not actually to save money for the US government, it’s to make money from replacing the government with your own private businesses
No one is even benefiting from this alleged saving money. My taxes are higher than ever.
“The dems can’t decide if Musk is cutting too much or not enough!!!” No. He is cutting vital programs that support many citizens of our nation and then overstating how much is actually saved doing so.
Oh, Ms. Streisand! Yoo-hoo!
For real. Thank you Musk for bringing attention to the tracker.
Also even if it was the claimed $109 billion, that’s still only 1.5% of the $7 trillion budget.
Heh the choice of colors for the bars really fits this administration.
You’re just russian to conclusions here!
Musk literally said “Yup”…?
This isn’t an attack. Y’all need to stop turning every little thing into a big deal (unless you like burying the real corruption, in which case idk go ahead)
How are we all in charge of journalism?
15 people on Lemmy upvoted it causing us to see this
Are any of those 15 people employed by the news company that published this?
Nope
.ml logic strikes again
Lol, that’s some real convoluted copism you have going on there.
A. musk’s “yup” was an amplification of the xit attacking the article in question. That makes it an attack. That’s how xitter works.
B. The point is that DOGE is the epitome of inefficiency. It’s cutting too much while the results are too little.
C. musk’s xit attack got >19k re-xits and >200k licks (xit-lickers gotta lick) causing us to see this. What’s the responsibility of all the xit-lickers? How is that a little thing being made into a big deal?
D. Even if the title is hyperbolic (which I don’t agree it is) 15 people on lemmy upvoting it to fight the fascist tyranny and lies spouted by musk and his xit-minions doesn’t “need to stop”. He needs to be kept in ckeck and that can’t be done on platforms owned by billionaires. If nothing else, it’s important to spread the word that musk is unable to understand the concept that something can be both too much and too little. What a genius.
