This is what all libs say now, but the problem is 2 of the branches are diseased, and they are using the constitution to protect the liberal destruction of America.

Fantastic. What does that have to do with Elon being an advisor to the President? And for about the 12th time in this thread, where did you get your info for the OP? It is fake news.

Congress has the power of the purse.

Now Elon is overriding the legal authority granted to Congress.

And yet the GOP in Congress can’t seem to understand or care that they are abdicating their authority and power.

I don't really think that Elon, the richest man in the world, is doing any of this for money. It all is kinda like a drop in the bucket to him now.

Are you talking about the guy that's sending his own rocket into space to save the Americans?

Wow. Elon is losing a government contract because he works with DOGE. Sounds like he is more interested in doing the right thing for this country than making money off of it. Great article. Thank you. It completely destroys the OP.

It means that armored Teslas are a horrible idea and would have been complete waste of money.

What a relief that the wasteful idea was scrapped.

Government needs supplies and services from private companies just like any private business or individual.

It doesn’t mean the contracts for those are wasteful or fraudulent. As long as the money is going to a service or purchase of a product that Musks companies can and are providing then there’s no issue

Dishonest AF

It's his contract with NASA for SpaceX to send up satellites and rockets and, you know, save astronauts that were stranded in space by a non SpaceX entity.

Other armored EVs will still be purchased. Just not Teslas. Elon is doing the opposite of grift. He is losing a government contract by being involved with DOGE. Completely blows up your fake news OP.

Your ignorance knows no bounds. Elon is making recommendations to the President. He doesn’t have the power to cut a thing.

How could you possibly think he had this power? And for the 15th time, where did you get the info in the OP?

Why was the Biden Administration buying shite from Elon if it’s such a waste?
I would be willing to bet LARGE sums of money that SpaceX is a lot cheaper than NASA. A ton more efficient also.

It's not how much, it's what value does he offer. Roll on Harry Bolz!
