Stuff like this is why I feel Elon is being disingenuous.
As I’ve said earlier, I’m generally in favor of the types of cuts they’re doing as long as they’re done legally and are properly researched (which doesn’t always seem to be the case so far).
But we can’t pretend that this is going to be good for the economy in the short-term or that “it won’t effect you if you’re not a member of the parasite class.” So every government employee or person whose job depended on a contract that got cancelled is “a member of the parasite class”? I’m sure there have been many folks that voted for Trump that lost their jobs as a result of these cuts. Yes, there is bloat in the government and we should cut it. But a lot of jobs depend on it, and if we cut those jobs, the economy is going to be impacted especially in the short-term.
