Elon Robbing Hood is Gunning for Our Social Security and Medicare
The point of Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s DOGE is to cut entitlement programs so Trump can give tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy and corporations

Here, I paraphrase and summarize Rolling Stone's excellent article, linked below this post. Kudos to Rolling Stone and their real journalists for standing strong with we the people and democracy and not bending the knee to MuskTrump.
Congressional Republicans are already taking marching orders from Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy and DOGE. Extremist Republicans, led by Sen. Rick Scott and Rep. Andy Harris, are fighting to ensure that the fresh round of tax cuts Republicans have planned for Musk when Trump’s 2017 tax law expires are paid for with $2.5 trillion in spending cuts on programs Americans rely on for survival. Musk is in charge of picking which ones will be slashed.
Guess what. If you comment, I'll probably say something back. Then, like, a conversation could get started. Revolutionary! 😯
