Government Spending
Elon Musk is cutting government programs that regular people rely on, laying off or firing somewhere around 100,000 people so far. Their jobs were everything from cancer research to protecting our nuclear weapon stockpiles and prosecuting those scamming consumers.
Meanwhile, Musk’s companies have received over 18 billion dollars in government grants and contracts in the last eight years. Tesla paid zero federal income tax in 2024 despite making $2.3 billion in profit. Maybe having billionaires running our country isn’t the best idea.
