Description

Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk is leaving the Trump administration after leading a tumultuous efficiency drive, during which he upended several federal agencies but ultimately failed to deliver the generational savings he had sought. During a press conference with President Trump Friday, Musk pledged that despite his departure the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) would continue its work toward cutting a trillion dollars out of the federal budget Guest host Keaton Weiss and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how DOGE never came close to cutting the promised level of government funding, mainly because Musk and his acolytes refused to follow through on his promise to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse at the Pentagon.

Musk was made a special government employee. Per the rules, you can only be a special government employee for 130 days. Guess what, May 30th was the 130th day. He didn't quit, his time ended per the law.

As Jimmy Dore has pointed out; every dollar that Doge ‘saved’ us was immediately funneled into the Pentagon for the war machine. What a joke!

Trump’s little spat with Elon is about as real as his spat with Netanyahu.

Kurt is right about the richest men in the world. Few people know their names and are almost never seen in public or caught on camera.
