We thought Vox went out of business. Huh.
Oh wait, maybe it was just their lame cable channel ...
What a shame they haven't.
Especially with this sort of logic:
USAID is 0.7% of the federal budget, you absolute moron https://t.co/XmXYq46thi

Tens of billions, but yeah, that's ok.
Moron.
So, it’s ok to waste it?

Sweet merciful crap, you leftists really are irretrievably broken and stupid.
Right?
Math hard for you? That is $62B you absolute moron.

But it's ok since it's the government and stuff.

Yes. A private citizen is taking control of government agencies, granting himself and his cronies access to sensitive information, and publicly asserting the right to personally veto congressionally authorized spending he dislikes.

How DARE a measly, insignificant PRIVATE CITIZEN think he can question the almighty government?!
This already exists. It is called the Government Accountability Office. Musk's proposition is not that a public entity should monitor federal spending for waste. It is that he - an unaccountable private citizen - should be able to cancel spending that he deems wasteful at will https://t.co/nMdiMyHf9P

Yes, we should trust the government to hold itself accountable.
Totally.
How has that been working out, Eric?
