"Musk’s team said it saved the country $115 billion by slashing wasteful and redundant spending. Not everyone agrees, but he feels he has the country on track and he can step aside."

He saved the US nothing. He actually cost us money by having all the lawsuits and the loss of services & revenue the US Gov could have had. He did nothing for us. This was a scam to shut down investigations into his businesses and a revenge tour. Breaking the government is not a 'savings'. So is May the month that they decide to declare martial law because there is an 'emergency'? Like all the other 'emergencies' and 'national threats' that they made up? When do they start broadcasting all the news in Russian?

Probably your tax money will also be wasted replacing government buildings and resources that were flogged off for practically nothing, which has been the right wing playbook since Thatcher and Pinochet.
