  1. Fuck this guy. Fuck Republicans. I hope they all eat each other.

  2. Nope DOGE, Trump, and Musk get full credit for all of this

    Trump spoke ever so fondly of “DOGE the department headed by elon musk” just the other night at the SOTU

  3. WHY would they stop blaming the evil asshole who is doing the disastrous cuts?

  4. Bro finally realized he’s being setup as Trump’s fall guy. Fuck him.

  5. – the one thing we all know about people like Musk, trump and others like them they are ALL COWARDS and never take responsibility for what happens by their direct or indirect orders…not ever

  6. There was a reason Musk moved fast: To stay ahead of the courts. He knew what would happen, he and his team had consulted with lawyers about it (as per the NY Times article chronicling how DOGE came about).

    He just wasn’t fast enough. Now everything is being reversed because it was as illegal as *he always knew it was*

  7. Prolly because his ex-wife have taken back their son, and now he lacks his meat shield.
    All of a sudden everything looks like angry men with AR’s. Not cool, man😕

  8. This is how violence happens without having to advocate for violence.

  10. It’s kinda interesting how little they are celebrating doing exactly what they want to do

    Methinks they went to far too fast and can’t reel it back in

  11. The problem he’s facing is if Congress passes bills to make the cuts then they’d be detailed. Musk will be exposed for lying about all of it.

  12. He’s feeling the pressure of the Tesla boycott and hate. Keep it up.

  13. Sorry. You have to carry your budget cuts to term Elon.

  15. The get your fucking ass out of politics, and shut the fuck up.

  16. Watch the movie “Don’t Look Up” to see how billionaires fix the world

  17. So what happened was, like all of his other companies, he told people to do the work for him, they brought back a bunch of bullshit, he put it out there and made changes without checking himself, and instead of taking the credit like usual, he’s blaming.

  18. I can’t believe Obama made all these cuts -Republicans probably

  19. He is starting to figure out how this works.

    Since he thinks he is a master programmer i’ll put it in language he understands :

    if good outcome
    we take credit and give you none
    else if bad outcome
    we blame you
    else
    you are fucked either way

  20. I figured the musk parody in don’t look up was way to extreme, yet musk seems to want to prove that the parody didn’t go far enough. That mistakes line is almost straight out of the movie.

  21. Because he doesn’t know wtf he’s doing. That’s why he sends out those “What did you do this week?” emails. He actually doesn’t know and has no idea how things are done.

    When he cuts people’s jobs, he’s doing it on a very loose to no understanding of what the purpose of those jobs are.

    So, then he has to inevitably beg people to come back to work after firing them because his firings break whatever critical system he thinks he understands.

  22. The guy dancing around with the chainsaw showing how he was such a good cutter doesn’t want credit for his cuts?

  23. >Republican Representative Derrick Van Orden told CNN that during a private meeting with GOP lawmakers Wednesday, Musk told the group that the recently announced elimination of more than 70,000 jobs at the Department of Veterans Affairs “wasn’t a DOGE decision.”

    Musk doesn’t want credit for firing veterans, so we should help Musk take the credit. He was lauded and applauded at the SOTU after all:

    [Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo](https://apnews.com/article/veterans-affairs-cuts-doge-musk-trump-f587a6bc3db6a460e9c357592e165712)

    >The memo instructs top-level staff to prepare for an agency-wide reorganization in August to “resize and tailor the workforce to the mission and revised structure.” It also calls for agency officials to work with the White House’s Department of Government Efficiency to “move out aggressively, while taking a pragmatic and disciplined approach” to the Trump administration’s goals.
    …
    The plans underway at the VA showed how the Trump administration’s DOGE initiative, led by billionaire Elon Musk, is not holding back on an all-out effort to slash federal agencies, even for those that have traditionally enjoyed bipartisan support.

    Here’s another:

    [DOGE plans to cut VA contracts may harm veterans’ care, employees say](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/doge/doge-plans-cut-va-contracts-may-harm-veterans-care-employees-say-rcna191448)

    >Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency abandoned some of its plans to slash contract spending for veterans’ health care services this week after a revolt by front-line Veterans Health Administration employees who contended many of the cuts would imperil safety at the agency’s almost 1,400 hospitals and clinics.

    >What had been a list of 875 VA contracts scheduled for termination a little over a week ago has now become 585 canceled contracts, the VA said Monday. The about-face is a rare public retreat by the so-called efficiency operation known as DOGE, which has come under fire for moving to ax crucial government services and overstating the value of some of its savings to taxpayers.
    …
    The list of contracts still on the chopping block has not been made public, and the VA declined to provide it. But VA employees have identified 200 of the remaining scheduled cancellations to NBC News, and some of them appear to be central to patient safety, those employees say.

    [‘Make the VA fail’: DOGE puts PTSD research and veterans’ cancer care on the chopping block](https://www.alternet.org/reckless-doge-cuts-at-the-va-could-affect-ptsd-research-and-veterans-cancer-care/)

    >But these moves could lead to the privatization of healthcare for veterans. “They’re trying to push veterans into community care,” one VA official said, meaning services provided outside of the VA. “And to do that, they’re doing everything they can to make the VA mission fail.”

    >“The revised list of killed contracts,” Morgenson and Strickler write, “includes those covering sterility certification for VA hospital pharmacy operations, facility air quality and safety testing to prevent transmission of infections, and sterile processing services to decontaminate equipment and medical instruments. Also on the list: contracts providing required certification and accreditation for stroke centers and follow-up care for cancer patients.”

  24. Sorry, Mr. Fucking Nazi. You don’t get to step away from this.

    Tesla sales tumbling? That’s you. Starlink losing contracts? That’s you.

    Doge getting railed for fucking up – that’s YOU. No one else is more complicit than YOU.

    Fuck Nazis. Fuck Musk.

    Get fucked, you absolute dick.

  25. We will never forget what you did, Elon.

    For the rest of your life, we will be here to remind you, and everyone else, of what you did.

    You will never have peace.

    You will never be able to enjoy your golden years.

    You will never be able to leave your house without an armed platoon of security guards.

    You will never be able to stop looking over your shoulder, wondering if today is the today someone holds you accountable at the barrel of a gun.

    Your children will never speak to you.

    You will die alone, and unloved, because the only people who put up with you, want something from you.

    And when you finally pass, we will still be there to remind people of what you did. We will write your obituary, and dance on your grave — which I’ll presumably have to remain unmarked to prevent vandalism.

  26. “I didn’t do it!” says the chainsaw wielding psycopath.
