Ta, Rebecca. The reason my morning greeting was late was because it took a whole fucking HOUR for *that* website to send me a confirmation email so I could disable my account. I did it, and of course I'm @zyxomma on bluesky, which, like beloved husband Meccalopolis, I pronounce BLOOskee.
Huh...if GWB hadn't cut taxes 3 times mostly for the very wealthy, while starting 2 unpaid for wars, and collapsing the world economy, we wouldn't be paying $659 billion in interest payments. Maybe we could claw some of those tax free "loans" to billionaires back, and stop paying so much interest on our debt? Just a thought!
Tangerini is already complaining Musk won't go home. I hope they get in a big ol' cat-fight and Musk uses his money to make the orange clown unpopular. Musk owns a fair bit of the Incel army.
How many nanoseconds will this last? Two rich narcissists, relegated to little more than clerks in an outbuilding, required to get the approval of their "co-director" on every single decision.
Chump didn't know what to do with you, so he put you in right field.
My parents hometown got the Flying Fickle Finger of Fate award from Laugh-In for how their Board of Education handled a teacher's strike and made everything worse.
"his illegal lottery of a daily million dollar giveaway for signing his stupid “petition” (way to get your contact info) for “First and Second Amendment or some bullshit,” his lawyers successfully argued that it wasn’t an illegal lottery because the winners were predetermined"
Elmo the Man-child certainly fits right in with the rest of the RINOs: they just love themselves some picking of winners and losers... before the contest begins. It's so much easier when results are predetermined.

"Is that how Elon Musk will root out “government inefficiency”? Just not pay anybody?"
I'm pretty sure that those are the marching orders coming directly from the Fulvous Flatulence. That has been his MO since his early days as a "Real Estate Developer." (I have friends in the construction industry that were forced to close their doors in the '80s and '90s after the Sociopathic Marigold Swamp Monster told them that if they want to get paid what is owed them *by contract*, take him to court. This is where he learned the technique of stalling anything he has to do but doesn't want to through court actions.)

"America deserves leaders that prioritize sensible spending."
Like:
* Building a big, beautiful wall along the southern border (which Mexico never paid for, those cheapskates);
* Decrease federal funds by giving tax breaks to the 1% and Big Business -- the rest of the Americans and small businesses can go pound sand if they don't like it;
* "Interest on our National Debt is Expensive" But Musk won't hold the Amber Ardipithecus ramidus to account for his dramatic increase of it:
"One of President Donald Trump’s lesser known but profoundly damaging legacies will be the explosive rise in the national debt that occurred on his watch. The financial burden that he’s inflicted on our government will wreak havoc for decades, saddling our kids and grandkids with debt.
* "Treasury's Pot of Cash for Political Campaigns" Yep, FEC funding available to candidates (who meet certain criteria) is a total waste. These monies prevent the US from becoming a plutocracy and/or kleptocracy;
* (Ab)using the National Guard and military helicopters to clear protesters for a photo-op -- I'm pretty sure that the Guard and the helicopters weren't free, that there were actual costs involved;
* Etc... etc... etc.

"Trump’s never paid a bill in his life"
At least not in full and never with his own personal money. The Pumpkin Pestilence has counted on Wingnut Welfare since he descended on his faux gold escalator almost ten years ago to pay for his rallies (at least those that the host city actually received any monies, but, again, never in full), his legal bills, his court-ordered fines and penalties, fuel for Trump Force One: remember that he is a germaphobe who won't stay in hotels (even Trump branded ones) and flew to and home from his events on the same day -- with a few rare exceptions....
I like how he came up with the most misleading, over dramatic click bait line item descriptions he could
Admitting to committing one crime to get out of another crime is certainly a bold move.
Musk appears ready to run the government like he runs Twitter, which is to say right into the ground.
You'd think you could at least enumerate the "Unknowns." Like as a basic condition of being taken seriously.
But this is Elon Musk and his baffling obsession with monkeys. So that ship sailed, like a rickety uhaul of canvassers headed to Mars.

Proof that them thar Rebooblicans ain't no math heads.
It's more fun to make stuff up and pull numbers from your posterior!

That's why they put the Tangeranus back in..so that will never happen!
Those wars weren't just put on the credit card. OUR Social Security fund was raided, and that money has never been repaid.
Comment in a thread on reddit RE Elon getting picked to head up the whatever it is:
"Lonnie be the first bitch to get kicked out."
LOL!
But how many Scaramuccis will he last?

Yeah, let's crack down on wasted tax dollars by... *checks notes* ...creating a completely new department with two heads.

Also paying interest on all the tax cuts that we've given to very wealthy fuck heads for the past 44 years. Wonder how we could get some of that back?

I saw a cartoon the other day. Batman calling Wonder Woman's phone while she looks for it while it's on invisible airplane mode.
If Bill Proxmire were still around, Elno would have all the golden fleece awards

How much money has and does the government give Tesla every year. Talk about waste. Those carbon credits don't sell themselves.
And SpaceX
So much of that list looks like misrepresentation.
Like all of it! It probably started as a joke and those idiots think it is real.
I think when Melon stops paying interest on T-bills that Wall St will be slightly annoyed
