Musk has made his fortune by doing things better than anyone else. He beat NASA at making rockets. By a wide margin of cost savings. He has bought internet access to the world in a few years. Something noone else could figure out. FEMA, whom I worked for as a civilian contractor, is a mess. And has been a mess. Kill it and start over. I don't know enough about USAID. But trying to lock out the cost cutters raises a red flag for me.I think you will find there will be far more division under Trump.....
There are many political analysts who are very concerned for the future of American democracy under Trump as he is conducting very questionable acts....
One of which was the creation of DOGE and placing an unelected "friend" in charge of it and giving that "friend" power over government officials..........
Musk who made his fortune from government contracts now has complete access to all US government files, plans including classified material......what a great way for a person who owns a large civilian communication network and does global trade with the enemies of America to get his foot in the door.....and gain access to all the information on his companies competitors......
That should be raising a huge red flag for US citizens.....
We just lost an F-35 in Alaska. At $80M+ a unit. Not the 1st loss. 11 have crashed since 2018. $880+M gone. Halt it. Something needs to be fixed or eliminated. The F-22 has an even worse loss record They are $360M a pop. 16 have been lost. That's 5.76B Halt it. Fix what's wrong.
NONE OF THESE AIRCRAFT WERE LOST IN COMBAT! We need to figure out why they are being lost in peacetime exercises. It's costing us Billions.
The Democrats should have hired him before they managed to piss him off and leave them behind.
Same for Besos. He can either turn around our failing USPS or eliminate it and privatize our U.S mail system. It's been a $$ drain for years now. Amazon could start delivering mail in about 30 days and eliminate the USPS. Nobody knows how to do it any better or cheaper than him.
We all know the least efficient way to do anything, is put the govt in charge of it. We need to start running our country like a business instead of a $$ siphoning down the drain straight from our pockets.
We need to completely re-evaluate the hand outs to foreign countries that are in place.
And our social welfare programs. I transport for the underprivileged for the state. They supposedly have little or no $$. And for the most part most don't. But some I pick them up in apartments that cost $1500/mth to rent. I pick them up in hotels that you go online and see are running $175/day. They have purses they carry that cost more than what I spend on groceries in 4 months. They can afford cigarettes at what is it now $8/pack. Somebody needs to re-evaluate all of that handout structure. Because they are taking away from others that need these resources worse than them.
Yes Trump is controversial. We haven't gotten cheaper by doing it the same old way. He's trying it from a different approach. And picking successful people that have already proven they can do things better. Sorry, not sorry. If Musk ends up worth another 10B richer and put money in my pocket to do it, I won't complain. Its better than anything the liberals ever did for me.
