The richest man in the world telling the elderly they need their monthly social security payments cut so he can get tax cuts. Very sick people on this earth.

I don't remember Elon being on the ballot.

I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years in another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with Tracy Britt Cool Consulting my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.

The media needs to get smart. They should always talk as Elon is the REAL president. That would make Trump go haywire.

The next time Trump addresses the Canadian PM as Governor Trudeau, Trudeau should respond by addressing him as Vice President Trump.

The person who is telling you that you need to endure hardship and live within your means is the same person who shot a sports car into space just for the heck of it.

The first immigrant they should deport is Elon, let him go and live in Russia.

[edithwillis]

Nothing like letting an unelected government official (Musk) make legislative decisions! Does that give you a bird's eye view of what someone who is totally ignorant of Government operations is going to make government operations efficient?!

[JoanL-oxyw]
