“Government efficiency” is code for tax cuts for the rich.

It means that any social programs that we benefit from will suffer or disappear altogether.

What a world we live in. Stop having faith in government and start taking matters into our own hands.

Straight out of the movie “Don’t Look Up”. A proper life initiating art imitating life moment.

The fact that such clear conflict of interest exists between spacex/NASA and putting musk in the MF whitehouse… I cannot say I’m surprised, anyway.

American voters decided that conflicts of interest don’t matter. NASA will be lucky to survive this administration at all .
