The money is already diverted. That’s what the tax cuts were in 2017.

This is just a way to upset various government agencies that might otherwise not be ok with law being upended to accomplish the goal of eliminating services our elected government has mandated.

The entire legislative branch is broken now.

I’m not American, but it seems to me, that to get to where you currently are, the legislative branch probably needed to be already busted.

This just shines a spotlight on how busted.

it’s a demonstration of how democracy is broken. It all depends on everyone to play nicely. You can cheat but if you’re caught you bow out gracefully. The checks and balances are all based on one part of the government pointing saying “we see what you did, you’re out.” But what happens when one side has no shame. What happens when they have no empathy for others?

Congress controls funding and it is explicitly not the President’s role. He is now circumventing the laws to get his agenda done without the support of Congress which should trigger an impeachment. Of course Congress is either already in his pocket or is too impotent to do anything so here we are.

Guarantee that’s not going to happen. In fact with all the savings from the other more critical services being defunded, Elon will have more money for his own projects.

I read the first post, spotted nothing amiss, saw this, thought it was a correction, then noticed they were both the incorrect spelling
