USAID is .7% of the US federal budget. A lot of it goes to poor people, AIDS treatments, etc. You know, the stuff Jesus cared about. And if 10% of that is cut, that would wipe away .07% of the US federal budget.

Anyone want to guess what percent of the US federal budget goes to companies owned by Elon Musk?

Glad he's here to help us get rid of that waste!

They're being brought back under the direct control of the State Department, as they should be, and should have always been. That's the point.

There's a reason a whose who of Dem grifters showed up at the door like an old timey bank run.

10,000 employees, plus contractors, plus grifting NGO's, bogus #blueanon run foundations/charities and #neocon think tanks et. al.

Absolutely amazing.

Pretty sure it's Jim Jordan.

Kind of chicken crap to not just tweet it from his own account imo

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #686 on:** February 07, 2025, 02:05:55 PM »

Yeah, it's kind of a weird tweet because you think it's someone criticizing them all for being Nazis until you realize that it's Jim Jordan, so it's probably actually celebrating them all being Nazis.

You’re not wrong about any of this.

One clarifying point about the money that the government spends on SpaceX is that the other available alternatives are around 100 to 1000 times more expensive depending upon which service is being offered. I’m not exaggerating. He’s saving us a fortune relative to united launch alliance, which is Boeing, Lockheed Martin and other legacy defense contractors.

This Bloomberg piece about another dodgy DOGE-bro -- the one aka "BIg Balls" -- starts with him getting fired for leaking information at a data security firm.

It ends with, no surprise, a reference to The Daily Stormer
