I’ll make perhaps an unpopular statement here on nostr.

Because of the way Elon is conducting himself in our govt, and DOGE, how many people have died or face harm because of his drastic overnight cuts to vital services for Americans and people around the world that’s illegal and unconditional but he doesn’t care)? Even if it’s, 1 (many estimations it’s thousands), that’s too many.

Should people be lighting teslas on fire? No, it’s stupid and unlawful. But do I care about that compared to Elons actions? Fuck no. They’re cars. And shitty cars at that.

The rage and horror over teslas burning, compared to Elons actions as an unelected bureaucrat (again, not that cuts are made…but the way in which it is unfolding in a shoot then aim fashion), is what I find disturbing.

All they need to do is look for a different job.

Lol you think this is just people being layed off?

He's cutting off the money that they receive. Yeah, they were stealing the money. How can you guys not see it? And still cry. All they need to do is look for a different job period easy

Stealing money? The fuck are you talking about?

A lot of federal workers are just blue collar people. And cuts to social security and accessing vital services to people like my grandmother OVERNIGHT are fucked up.

Aint nobody losing their social security. Stop it with a propaganda.

They keep saying that social security disability, food stamps. All that is not gonna get cut off. Stop spreading false information.

You gonna be surprised when you're 67, receiving your social security and my tax money that I pay shouldn't go overseas period it's not my problem.

You care so much go to Africa and save them yourself.

Who has died in America? Because Elon Musk said they can't work at the Federal Reserve anymore. I'll wait.

I'm a HUGE believer in a minimalist government, and I don't like the brashness that Elon is operating in.

I don't know how you do it in a humane way....I know it needs to be done.

Bill Clinton and Al Gore had a congressionally-approved efficiency department to do just this in the '90s. They didn't do it haphazardly though and then find they had to immediately rehire air-traffic controllers, nuclear facility managers, and others right back however.

Growing the government so big is the inhuman act.

Can you be more specific? Which cuts are going to lead to loss of life and if you’re able to identify them do they outweigh the fraud, waste and abuse that is also being eliminated?

And cuts to social security and Medicaid, if enacted as musk wants, will.

I personally feel cuts and waste can and SHOULD be made. But there should be a plan, not just overnight cuts that Elon then reinstates because they were a mistake? It’s horribly mismanaged. I think Washington has a huge spending problem. I do think the federal government should be smaller and there’s lots to be cut, FOR SURE. Including many jobs.

By why only to entitlements, while the defense budget grows? Where’s doge there?

Yea that’s fair. I’d be a whole lot more team Doge if we had cut Israel off from the aid train. Medicaid cuts will have impacts and not just political ones to your point. That said, they’re also dealing with the math problem that ends in insolvency so I can’t respect that if they’re truly trying to solve that problem they’re going to break some things along the way.

I really don't want to rush into this conversation, but I just read that article and it suggests that not having HIV medication for one month caused these children referenced in the article to die. That seems awfully fast to progress from managed HIV to AIDS and die in a month. And I'm not really contesting your point knowing that the disease does kill children quickly, I know, but this stood out to me.

Continuing to kick the can is going to have major consequences for future generations, we need a massive decrease in government spending yesterday. Yes, there will be consequences for people that receive government assistance but I'm more worried about future generations and the United States as a going concern. The US government is such a bloated blob that you need to reduce its size with a sledgehammer. You can't reduce the size systematically. Unfortunately there will be consequences for some. Don't blame Trump/Elon, blame past politicians that ran up a massive bill and passed it on to future generations.

For sure, it needs to be across the board. No one can convince me that having 800 military bases in foreign countries benefits the American people.

“Christopher Rufo, one of the conservative intellectuals shaping the ideological foundation of Trumpism, made a revealing statement in a recent New York Times podcast. When asked by the journalist why he advocates dismantling the Department of Education rather than simply eliminating its most controversial programs while keeping those that are popular and widely considered useful, Rufo responds that if part of the staff remains, they will simply wait out the next election cycle: ‘We have a system that is accountable to no one. And when the culture and bureaucracy of that system are captured, you get the status quo of the first Trump administration, with a radically leftist Department of Education that only funds radically leftist causes.’ The solution, then, is to tear everything down in order to permanently change both the culture and the institution itself.” (Le Monde, https://www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/article/2025/03/19/trump-has-already-surpassed-his-hungarian-and-polish-models_6739313_23.html)

Protesters are meeting one form of arson with another.

Elon is not dictating policy. Just showing where the waste is. You are being played by the mainstream media and the Soros crowd.

Yeah, those workers at the nuke sites, what a waste 🤦‍♂️

this is laughable and its a typical sheep response. the sheep only pay attention to what the blue cult wants them to. they throw up a shiny object and say look over here sheep and the sheep come running. Elon killing people?..... Where the fuck were your comments on the people from all the illegals coming into the countries around the world? They just all get a pass from the sheep because the blue cult leaders keep the sheeps focus on what they want them to and obviously it works. Then the blue cult pays the degenerates to make that shiny object brighter and the sheep start acting confused and can't think straight and make comments like this.

The sheep would have a little more credibility if they acted this way all the time but for some reason they pick and choose and it just so happens to align with the shiny object the blue cult is pushing.

Anyone mad at Elon is a moron. Elon wasn't the one who mixed all the shit together to where they purposely made it difficult to find what is actually doing good and should be kept around and what is actual fraud. If you actually could think logically and rationally you would be mad at the elected leaders who did this and allowed the unelected filth to put this all in place.

Sorry you are wrong and the people, groups and elected leaders pushing this bullshit are in the wrong and its very easy to see unless you have a bias.

Grow up. No one is dying from this

Critical services are being cut off. Medicine is being withheld. Yeah, people are suffering. Real Americans.

Please provide evidence

I think this is a clear sign there’s cuts that will affect real Americans. Even if you don’t accept AP news.

Elon was elected. nostr:note155f4kjw60qvmtgv5p09s3ptfy2x3pz3l4s28xch0wut7a472asnqxrlcya

He's carrying out the instructions of a recently elected president with a huge mandate.

What are you looking for here, a suspension of democracy?

Yo he’s definitely following someone’s directions. But not Toady T. Rump. Both are manufactured puppets

When everything is an atrocity……..then nothing is.

Trey wants the gulags to continue.
