Wish that newscasters would explain to viewers that Musk's claims of saving...
160 billion dollars is really a drop in the bucket compared to the 2 trillion he said he and Doge would trim from the federal budget...Two trillion is TWO THOUSAND BILLION, so Musk and Doge haven't gotten anywhere close to what they promissed. And the 160 billion is probably not accurate as thousands in agencies/departments have had to rbe rehired, Musk didn't know what he was doing with his reckless firings...and rehired with back pay.
