Yes they did. Musk and Trump literally campaigned together, Musk was on-stage next to Trump at multiple rallies where he spoke too. It was clearly reported during the election that Musk was spending hundreds of millions of dollars to get Trump elected.

Here’s an article from September (before the election) with Trump saying he’d create DOGE and have Musk lead it. apnews.com/…/donald-trump-elon-musk-government-ef…

Anyone who voted from trump and didn’t expect this is either lying, or intentionally being ignorant.

Trump says he'd create government efficiency commission led by Elon Musk

Former President Donald Trump says he would create a government efficiency commission to audit the entire federal government. Trump said Thursday the idea was suggested by billionaire Elon Musk, who would lead it. The commission is the latest attention-grabbing alliance between Trump and Musk, who leads companies including Tesla and SpaceX and has become an increasingly vocal supporter of Trump’s bid to return to the White House. Trump says the commission would recommend “drastic reforms” and develop a plan to eliminate fraud and improper payments within six months, which he said would save trillions of dollars.

They’re fucking morons.

It’s odd though. The it guy at the company I work for is a trump fan, and he’s not stupid. I don’t understand this world anymore.

I retreat into my own world now.

The MAGAs and Trumpists just need a reality check from the administration itself that they can’t hide or pretend. Something like WaterGate
lol that’s not going to happen. The train has left the station and everyone with the capacity to choose to get off has already done so. Stop hoping for a moment that will never come.

We had J6, FFS. The most filmed crime in history. The biggest investigation in history.

Did not fucking matter. Idiots like Watters brush that off by saying the terrorists there on that day were “overcharged” and, therefore, their pardon is justified.

resisting propaganda isn’t about intelligence. it’s about raising empathetic children
The Smithsonian Institution needs more funding so it can build museums outside of DC and its surrounding areas. It’s a way to combat ignorance.
not just because of that. the smithsonian represents a massive collection of our culture that the government has gathered so that we don’t have access to it. much of it the prizes of the 2-3 genocides our government has inflicted
My best friend’s husband is also. Along with my dad. Both said they just wanted lowered taxes. I cannot begin to describe how intelligently fucking stupid these people are.

Selfishness is the cause there. “I just want lower taxes” as they ignore all the horrendous stuff Trump says/does just so they can have more money for themselves.

Big “I got mine, fuck you.” energy there.

Well with the Republicans new tax plan they’ll get increased taxes and all the horrible shit that comes with this administration. Hope they’re happy.

Correct. Really enraging behavior to see on display but Americans are mostly deeply selfish.
Yeah, you get your lower taxes, and then you just have to use some of the money you got to keep and some extra to pay for all the services you got for free. That’s the bargain Americans already made for health care, and now they’ll get it with food safety, the environment, the weather, etc.
