Now that is a hilarious take. It really is blatantly obvious how badly people like Elon Musk need therapy.

But we shouldn’t downplay what the program really intends to do: gut federal government spending rather than raising taxes on the wealthy to a sensible level.

Most federal government spending has very real benefits to the average person and should be thought of as more of an investment than a cost. But the DOGE mafia wants to cut programs that help the average person to protect their own fortunes.

E.g., the average person is harmed by shutting down the department of education. The wealthy who go to private school their whole lives are not.
