Trump said musk would recuse himself if he comes across any of his own contracts, pinky promise
No Musk gets that money, so it’s one of the good organizations!
Not sure how funding space exploration is a bad thing. Look at how much we give NASA every year, versus the private sector which has made more innovation and flies cheaper than our own govt. not to mention the astronauts stranded up there, which is going to be retrieved by said private sector.
Try again
So far, they’ve cut programs that send money to prop up causes that are not in alignment with the executive branch (and, by the way, the popular vote). The US gov’t has to hire Space-X to go retrieve the astronauts stranded by NASA on the space station these last 8 months. Transgender operas in Guatemala are not this helpful.
Much more important than trans gender musicals in Columbia 😂
I don’t think DOGE will end up cutting much spending at all. You’re going to see programs like USAID phased out, but that funding is just going to be moved and spent elsewhere.
On one hand, they are cutting programs and on the other, they are talking about essentially occupying Gaza. Does anyone realize how much money that would take?
There’s also the money that will be needed for lawsuits related to DOGE activities, incorrectly fired government employees, etc…
I like DOGE in theory, but the bull in a china closet approach is going to have some long-reaching financial implications, and not all of them positive.
Nope, same reason it won’t cut the DOD.
From what I’ve seen by what’s been shown so far, this is the only one actually using the money properly.
Is this even from USAID?
..probably depends on who those ‘other 3 names’ belong to .
Don’t make me remind you how Biden admin wasted $43 Billion to provide better Internet and how nobody got better internet. Meanwhile SpaceX launched the constellation of satellites that essentially saved Ukraine when the war has started.
