He also made threats against ALL the republicans who voted for the bill saying they should ALL be fired come next vote. And he will use his money to help their opponents.

Too damn little, too damn late, dude.
@sonhouse saidOverall, spending goes up. They're cutting cancer research, healthcare, social security and SNAP while at the same time increasing the handouts for big military contractors and energy companies.

Funny that Elon spent months looking for waste in a system that we've known since Reagan is in the Pentagon, but he didn't find any?
@wildgrass saidSame ol' same ol' Republican nonsense. Cut food going to babies and the poor so they can cut taxes on the rich and corporate perks.. Every single Republican administration has done this.
