Elon Musk Already Breaking His Promises To MAGA

"Republican budget guru Elon Musk admitted Wednesday that his vision of $2 trillion in spending cuts is not very realistic.

The billionaire entrepreneur and President-elect Donald Trump consigliere said in an interview on his website X with Mark Penn, a Democratic pollster turned marketing executive, that the $2 trillion figure was merely aspirational."*

The largest online progressive news show in the world. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian. LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET.

The Young Turks are fearless in talking about the issues that matter. We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We cover politics, entertainment, sports, and pop culture; all through a progressive lens.

What does it mean to be a “Young Turk?”

According to the American Heritage Dictionary;
1. Young progressive or insurgent member of an institution, movement, or political party.
2. Young person who rebels against authority or societal expectations.

"Sharp-witted, persuasive, and inspiring, calling out toxic Republicans, politely-ineffectual Democrats, and mealy-mouthed media mavens in equal measure, JUSTICE IS COMING will give heart to Democrats and progressives who seek to change our politics and society for the better.

The media can’t stop talking about the gridlock in Washington, as if a handful of stubborn Republicans are the only thing standing between us and a fully-functional democracy. The reality is that our government has been taken over by big business and their allies in both political parties. The getaway driver in this heist was corporate media. The good news is that the American people are very progressive. And soon progressives will take over Washington as well! And when they do, the great majority of Americans will love it.

In JUSTICE IS COMING: How Progressives Are Going to Take Over the Country and America Is Going to Love It (On sale: September 19, 2023), The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur presents two ideas that counter everything we hear from pundits and politicians on a daily basis: one, progressives are correct on all issues, and two, America is actually a very progressive country. Millions of us know that we are a part of something larger, a movement that is already transforming Washington.

JUSTICE IS COMING, a compulsively readable manifesto, seeks to apply the momentum progressives have already built to a concrete progressive agenda that activists, voters, and citizens can all rally around. JUSTICE IS COMING looks beyond Trump to the larger historical forces that have given us this unique political moment, and explains why we should fight, how we should fight, and how we will win."

[r.d.x]

A moment of silence for all those who think Billionaires will solve their problems.

[annecollins]

Because he doesn't know anything about the government. And neither does Vivek Ramaswamy.. They're going to make things even worse.. Why do you think all of sudden he's backtracking.

[jameskneubuhl]

When he made his initial claim of 2T, what was he basing that on? He hadn't actually looked into the government - how could he?

[MWhaleK]

Cut the pentagon budget and then go for the subsidies that go to billionaires.

[TheHarjinderaheer]

Okay so they cut $2 trillion in spending in a year what happens to the economy? What? Can you say depression??

[Bramble]

Elon Musk LIE??? Nah, that wouldn't ever happen!

[Lord.of.the.Vultures]

President Macron said you can’t run a country like you run a business. The goals of each are completely different. In France for example the government has always been in the red from Louis XIII to 1964 (date of book) except in 1914 when the balance was positive. Ok there was a bit of a problem in 1789….

[raulolivas]

Prediction...Douche / DOGE will add trillions to the deficit.

[henrythegreatamerican]

Love how all these politicians are so quick to cut cut cut, yet they never address the underlying issue behind it all.
Almost all our debt is coming from a small group of companies and individuals accumulating all our assets and putting us into debt to use those assets.
And the solution to this? A wealth tax that progressively increases on assets owned over $10 million to help break up the concentration of wealth so we can all use and own stuff without debt.

I wish CENK would talk about this, or is he afraid it would affect his own riches?

[chrlpolk]

Before election: “At _least_ $2 trillion!”

After election: “That’s an overshoot, if we say $2, we might get $1.”

Either he’s a liar, or we have a different definition of “least”.

[aBeerFromHere]

Yes, only Musk can cut 2 trillion from 1.8 trillion

[vdeo.hunter.d]

They started with 190m in childhood cancer research

[lloydcc]

I like how he says that the government is wasting tax payer money. Did he happen to mention how he gets billions in subsidies for all his companies? He complains how the US doesn't have people with the intelligence of the people he gets with the Visas? So he wants to get rid of the Department of Education?

[KellyTour-ds]

So much theft and insider trading... government contract corruption...its going to be nuts.

[novalawhp]

Unelected multibillionaire looking at the federal government budget to make getting federal contracts worth

[dr.feelgood]

we could definitely cut defense spending, by cutting out the over-charging that the few contractors are doing massively. we definitely need to keep our arsenals and military. make the pentagon accountable for their lack of oversight!

[errr.antiez]

So try to cut $4 Trillion and overage will be $2 Trillion...

[TheeccenteictherapistBellaneph]

I think he did look at it and found that it is not possible. That's not a lie. There's so much pressure to not cut social services, and we can't cut defense, so there you go.

[ZDIDDY]

Everybody knew he was just saying 2 trillion to highlight how much we waste.. whole story about this?? Figured it was a busier news day than this

[danielgodfrey]

Wish media would stop saying Doge. Every time they do they just promote Elons crypto currency for free
