So she says, blithely to the Fox usiness News Media host, "I don't trust the media." nd the host appears to agree with her - that the media - of which he is a member and THE one she's talking to - is not trustworthy. Sums it all up well, I think.

The elon dikk riding is crazy.
Here you got a billionaire immigrant who receives billions in corporate welfare, sitting on this app making threads about how he wants to take away your grandmother's social security.
And all you idiots are like, "Yes, sir. Give me another, sir. Thank you, sir."
How ppl, especially conservatives, aren't flipping out and demanding this guy to be deported is beyond me.

@RandyWKirk1
It would be harder to get over if everything you just said wasn't such nonsense.
1. Very few R's are anti immigration. You left out illegal
2. Elon's companies have had very few government subsidies and Elon is against all such subsidies. However, he's going to take those if his competitors are eligible.
3. Elon didn't buy an election. He used his resources to get folks to register and vote.
4/72
@smalls2672
The dikk riding in this comment craaazy.
Lets look at trumps LAST interview. Never mind the previous 10 years. He said he wanted to get rid of the 14th amendment. Or at least gut it and end birthright citizenship.
And that's funny is that his supporters that like to claim they're constitutionalists support it.
But does that sound like he's in favor of "legal" immigration to you.
When he lied and said hatians were eating the pets and were illegal. After it was rightly pointed out, they were here legally he said, "not in my eyes"
So when Republicans sit here and say they are for immigration just not "illegal" immigration.
I really have no idea what the fukk they're talking about.
Especially when you consider the man responsible for the policies (Stephen miller) says publicly we have "supercharged" our DENATURALIZATION plan for 2025.

It would be harder to get over if everything you just said wasn't such nonsense.
1. Very few R's are anti immigration. You left out illegal
2. Elon's companies have had very few government subsidies and Elon is against all such subsidies. However, he's going to take those if his competitors are eligible.
3. Elon didn't buy an election. He used his resources to get folks to register and vote.
4/72
@smalls2672
The dikk riding in this comment craaazy.
Lets look at trumps LAST interview. Never mind the previous 10 years. He said he wanted to get rid of the 14th amendment. Or at least gut it and end birthright citizenship.
And that's funny is that his supporters that like to claim they're constitutionalists support it.
But does that sound like he's in favor of "legal" immigration to you.
When he lied and said hatians were eating the pets and were illegal. After it was rightly pointed out, they were here legally he said, "not in my eyes"
So when Republicans sit here and say they are for immigration just not "illegal" immigration.
I really have no idea what the fukk they're talking about.
Especially when you consider the man responsible for the policies (Stephen miller) says publicly we have "supercharged" our DENATURALIZATION plan for 2025.

The Washington Commanders' ability to return to the District of Columbia suffered a critical blow when a provision that would have given the city control of the land was excluded from a spending bill that passed in Congress.
The provision was dropped after Elon Musk, an adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, reposted information that included an inaccurate headline stating the bill included "$3 billion for a new stadium in D.C." There was no mention of money in the provision.

It occurred to me what I thought was a joke or slight regarding the whole Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) thing as Trump giving out “make believe positions” was actually what Elon instructed Trump to do.
I’m wondering that he didn’t want an actual established position that already had a set of rules attached to it. They’re defining the new role’s place in government rather than following a standard procedure.
While everyone else feels “honored” to take roles like “Director of ____” these guys went for pure power: undefined. Pure power don’t play by rules and it sounds like they get to check the federal government.
Elon and Vivek operating on a whole different plane/meta out there.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said Wednesday that his budget-cutting effort on behalf of President-elect Donald Trump would most likely not find $2 trillion in savings, backtracking on a goal he set earlier as co-head of a new advisory body, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
Musk told political strategist Mark Penn in an interview broadcast on X that the $2 trillion figure was a “best-case outcome” and that he thought there was only a “good shot” at cutting half that.
Musk’s lowered estimate is a significant downgrade from his earlier view. At a rally for Trump at Madison Square Garden in New York on Oct. 27, Musk said he’d be able to cut the federal budget by “at least $2 trillion.”
That figure was quickly dismissed as implausible by budget experts, who said the entire discretionary budget was only $1.7 trillion. Musk hadn’t waved people off the number until Wednesday, and it has been widely cited in reports about DOGE’s plans.
Musk, along with former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, is co-leading the DOGE budget-slashing effort, which Trump named in reference to an internet meme. The advisory panel has no official authority and is expected to make recommendations to the White House after Trump is sworn in for a second term.
The Trump transition team didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on Musk’s updated estimate.
Experts have said Musk and Ramaswamy would need to propose cuts to mandatory programs such as Medicaid, the health care program for the poor, to achieve significant savings. Musk himself has warned that cuts could mean “hardship” for some.
Penn, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton, noted that Clinton was able to balance the federal budget toward the end of his time in the White House, and he asked about Musk’s plans.
“Do you think the $2 trillion is a realistic number now that you’re looking more closely at it?” he asked.
“I think we’ll try for $2 trillion. I think that’s the best-case outcome,” Musk said. “But I do think that you kind of have to have some overage. I think if we try for $2 trillion, we’ve got a good shot at getting 1,” he said, meaning $1 trillion in spending cuts.
Musk, though, didn’t admit an early defeat, saying he could still help Trump achieve “an epic outcome.”
“If we can drop the budget deficit from $2 trillion to $1 trillion and free up the economy to have additional growth, such that the output of goods and services keeps pace with the increase in the money supply, then there will be no inflation. So that, I think, would be an epic outcome,” he said.
Penn also asked whether Musk had “identified some cuts that you’re really looking at, that you think will be successful.” Musk didn’t name any specific cuts, though he said generally that it’s a “very target-rich environment for saving money.”
