A non-government official not even vetted or voted into his position with the power to cut jobs? That’s not how this country and government are supposed to be run!

Keep up the good work, guys. The taxpayers are pleased, but the thieves and fraudsters are upset.

Elon Musk is not even from this country, he’s not a U.S. citizen, but he has authority over government jobs and at the White House.

Money definitely talks. Elon Musk is the richest man in the world. Why is he so concerned about the USA? What’s in it for him, and who is benefiting from this?

It’s sad that people are celebrating people losing their jobs. People who own their own businesses should be worried. If people are unemployed and can’t afford their bills, they may not be able to purchase from your business. It’s a domino effect.
