Savings. Was. Never. The. Goal.
Dismantling every bit of the government that is an annoyance to fElon is the only objective. How about y'all start reporting on that for a change...

It's the AP. They're a wire service, not editorial. Unless he says that that's his objective it's only speculation, and even then you can only report that he said it, not that it actually is.

That was more of a general rant. AP is one of the few reasonably good sources left

That, and chaos and fear.

They produce no savings because the money has already been spent. He canceled contracts that were already paid for

Working as intended then, because it was never about savings.

Indeed. Instead they will cost us dearly.

The savings will be for the banks who will now be able to fleece customers without the financial protection bureau. Or corporations who can now increase profits at the expense of safety of the consumer. Any gov program exists to directly or indirectly benefit the citizens. And it is the citizens who eventually suffer.

That's a strange way of saying that 60% of the cuts will still lead to savings.
