Even if Elon manages to positively reshape the government, it's hard not to think about the ways in which he benefits from some of these actions.

Since 2011, the CFPB has received about $7.7 billion from the Federal Reserve and returned nearly $21 billion to consumers—about $2.73 for every dollar received.
It’s one of the few agencies with a direct return on investment for taxpayers.
Why is it being cut?

Does anyone support Elon Musk cutting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau?
Is there some fraud or waste that this department is generating that makes it an ideal candidate to cut?

We’re slashing taxes by $4.5T, barely cutting spending by $2T, and then raising the debt ceiling by $4T. So we’re going broke… on purpose?
This isn’t fiscal responsibility...it’s insanity.

The Republican budget cuts taxes for their billionaire donors, while cutting off Medicaid from older Americans in Nursing Homes.
Every single Budget Committee Democrat voted against it.
And now the battle moves to the House Floor.

Some strategists think Dems shouldn't defend USAID because foreign aid is unpopular
But this @goodauth.bsky.social piece shows strong support for many types of aid
Americans also dislike changes to status quo and are increasingly concerned about Musk's influence

Elon Musk claims federal entitlement fraud dwarfs all private scams but provides no evidence. While fraud in government programs exists, major private scams—Ponzi schemes, corporate fraud, and banking scandals—have cost trillions. Bold claims need solid data.
Where’s the proof?
