Elon Musk was elected? News to me.
- binary_slinger 2y agoTrump was elected, and Elon was appointed by Trump?
- breadwinner 2y agoGiven the unprecedented power he is wielding he should have been confirmed by congress.
- 9283409232 2y agoSo Musk is one of those unelected bureaucrats you're railing against?
- binary_slinger 2y agoThis is proof that people will downvote to silence things they don't like. This is a gross abuse of the spirit of HN. The statement above was factual.
- indoordin0saur 2y agoA radical improvement in the national debt at the hands of the world's most competent entrepeneur? I think many people were voting specifically for this. Things are going exactly as advertised.
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoYou are assuming that there will be a radical improvement. That is yet to be seen. I personally doubt it.
- nailer 2y agoThey're already projected to save hundreds of billions through the voluntary redundancy scheme implemented last week.
- 9283409232 2y agoThis sounds like a number pulled out of Musk's ass.
- nailer 2y agoIt’s wages per year with IIRC 8% of the workers taking the deal.
- maxerickson 2y agoYou are conflating debt and deficit. Cutting the deficit by a few hundred billion dollars will barely impact the rate of growth of the debt, it's not a "radical improvement in the national debt", it's a modest reduction in spending.
