How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes?
Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce.
Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.
"This is why we're tyrannical. This is why we're dictators"
Well, at least I can agree with something he said
The approach of “block Congress and capture the courts” is anti-Democratic
He got his party to intentionally not address the needs of their constituents to poison belief in democratic governance
Directly laying the foundation for the rise of “I alone can fix it” presidency
