Elon Musk…. Cuts against American Govt. “Waste’ IS NOT what he Promised…

ALL the noise ….

ALL the HEADLINES…..

ALL the DOGE Heartache from drop-in visits that resulted in Cuts, Firing’s and TONS of Court fights and then re-hirings and further grumbling among Agency and Department Heads?

Have resulted in a mere scratch against the surface of the “System’????

Elon IS on his way out it appears….

Ain’t too many people gonna miss him….

 

While stumping for Donald J. Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign, Elon Musk said he could cut $2 trillion from the federal budget. After Mr. Trump took office and placed Mr. Musk in charge of the budget-slashing so-called Department of Government Efficiency, Mr. Musk lowered that projection by half, to $1 trillion in the upcoming fiscal year.

In a cabinet meeting on Thursday, Mr. Musk appeared to set his group’s goal lower still.

“I’m excited to announce that we anticipate savings in ’26 from reduction of waste and fraud by $150 billion,” Mr. Musk told Mr. Trump, referring to the fiscal year, which runs from the beginning of October 2025 to the end of September 2026.

Mr. Musk’s group has slashed budgets and fired thousands of workers around Washington, but so far the DOGE websiteindicates that it remains far from reaching his goal of $1 trillion in savings next year. As of Thursday, the site claimed $150 billion in savings, with an itemized list of some of the purported cuts.

It was unclear if Mr. Musk meant to say that the $150 billion was merely what his team had found so far — meaning that $1 trillion in savings was still possible — or if that $150 billion was all it expected to find…

…

Unlike a previous cabinet meeting, during which Mr. Trump had Mr. Musk speak at the outset, Thursday’s meeting began with the president asking Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to speak. Mr. Musk spoke later, and briefly.

….

But the website that Mr. Musk’s group has used to tout its savings has been plagued by errors, including triple-counting the same cancellations and claiming credit for cutting programs that ended under President George W. Bush….

More…

Note….

It appears that in the end?

The Government ‘s ‘System’ has proved to be TOO Big and Bad for Trump’s buddy to conquer….

Government ain’t Twitter….. 

Musk’s ‘Brand’ IS suffering……

BUT?

The Tesla, Sky-link and Twitter guy HAS got Government contracts that WILL make him Billion’s anyways….
