«Tech billionaire Elon Musk said Wednesday that his budget-cutting effort on behalf of President-elect Donald Trump would most likely not find $2 trillion in savings, backtracking on a goal he set earlier as co-head of a new advisory body, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

Musk told political strategist Mark Penn in an interview broadcast on X that the $2 trillion figure was a “best-case outcome” and that he thought there was only a “good shot” at cutting half that.»

*Gasp!* Goal cut in half! (At least.) Who could possibly have expected *this*???!!1!1

(Any particular idiot who’s paying attention would know there ain’t no trillion dollars to cut from the budget, especially after basically decades of Republicans trying to cut to the bone already. https://www.nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/federal-budget-101/spending/ )
