Musk's wealth exceeds that of 180 countries combined. He can afford better security than the Secret Service. Fearing someone might harm him seems laughable.
He's definitely creating the motive. Lying about peoples job performance to justify firing them. When you do this in big enough numbers, theres bound to be a few unstable/irates in the mix.

Add in the ubiquity of guns in America, and there you have it.

They are the economists who saw Biden's economy work well.

The biggest lie is that the economy under Biden was bad. It was great. Low unemployment and lots of growth.
The post-Covid supply chain inflation occurred throughout the world, but we handled it better than other countries.

Now we have less job growth, mounting layoffs, tariff wars, inflation, stock market woes, and Europe suspicious and distrustful.
Heard yesterday other nations don't want to share intelligence with us because of Trump and Gabbard. France is offering its nuclear power to help Europe fight Russia and Putin--an enemy of the free world.

We cannot determine yet whether there has been “less job growth, mounting layoffs, tariff wars, inflation, stock market woes” within this short 45-day period.

However, the issue is that Democrats frequently discuss doom and gloom scenarios, which has become white background noise. Democrats should carefully choose the appropriate time to critique President Trump's actions. It would be prudent to allow the President three months to see how the first quarter of his administration progresses before evaluating and critiquing his economic policies.

Believe you me, that if President Trump doesn't change his approach to tariffs and alienating our traditional allies, America has a long, struggling road ahead. However, I would like to withhold my criticism for now and allow him at least a quarter before evaluating his policy.

You seem like an intelligent individual. Could you explain how 20 people were able to uncover so much abuse and fraud within the entire federal government in less than 45 days? Remember, these 20 employees are human, not demigod.
Pretty simple, having access to government computers and phones and running pre-made scripted programs on government employees, (Fred) spent 5hrs a day playing computer games on taxpayer time, (Mary) spent 5hrs a day on Facebook, Twitter, talking with friends and family, (Joe) spent 6hrs a day running a personal business taking orders and handling shipments of his products

Looking at USAID with your eyes reading ($40 Million For Male Circumcision In Africa)

Social Security is paying taxpayer money to supposed recipients 150 yrs old

It's nice to see a 72% voter approval rating on DOGE, some people have common sense and care about America's future

"I Don't Believe You", president Trump is doing exactly what needed to be done decades ago

Many Politicians over the decades have sold out America for $lobbying dollars$ allowing American taxpayers to be robbed

Mexico was a partner with the Biden administration on destroying America at the southern border, now their going to pay for their actions!

Canada has maintained an unfavorable balance of trade with the US draining America's bank account, its being stopped while the progressive liberal dictator Trudeau is being removed, a win, win

Canada America's 51st State, Go Trump!

The Free Ride Is Over, Believe Trump's Actions!

Trump MAGA, America First!

If one believes that President Trump's current actions should have been addressed ten years ago, it implies that he did not fulfill his responsibilities during his first term.

Do you have any experience working in the information technology industry? I do.

I have spent the last 30 years designing large data centers for multinational corporations, integrating different programs, managing projects developing financial applications for banks to communicate with other financial institutions, etc.

It’s not “ Pretty simple “ or “running pre-made scripted programs” as you describe.

Social security data in the US is vast, encompassing exabytes spread across multiple programs, many of which are decades old and incompatible with modern scripting languages. Even if integration through a script or AI system were possible, no supercomputer could analyze all that data in 45 days.

Same with other government agencies, simply connecting a laptop to the NSA network or the State Department network will not provide access to yottabytes of data for analysis.

I have experience in projects where companies aimed to monitor the time employees, such as Fred and Mary, spent on non-work-related activities like computer games or social media. This type of analysis has been feasible since 2007 and requires extensive data processing involving thousands of hours. While it is possible to gather this information, analyzing employee activities for an organization or government with 2.1 million employees is not achievable within 45 days by a team of only 20 employees.

To understand these issues, one must know how things work. However, many Americans are focused on politics. They believe their favored politician can achieve anything, but criticize the opposition for failing at simple tasks.

You may choose to believe what Musk is saying, even if it seems improbable. While 72% of Americans might share that belief, it does not necessarily mean it is true.

As president Trump has openly stated several times, dealing with the China Virus and constant attacks from the democrats hindered his administration from getting more done, plain and simple, and his administration still had outstanding performance

I love it when liberals fail to acknowledge the fact that the majority of people in America knows that the economy during the Biden Administration was NOT good at all.

The “China Virus” outbreak began in December 2019, almost three years into President Trump's tenure. I am not suggesting that President Trump's first three years were negative. The economy was strong, unemployment rates were low, and GDP growth was significant. However, he had three years to work on reducing the size of the federal government, but did not take significant action in this regard, which is understandable given the complexity and size of the U.S. government. Nevertheless, it is not reasonable to claim that what President Trump is doing today should have been done decades ago while excusing the lack of these actions during his first term.

That's why Democrats lost the 2024 election.

Democrats will discuss GDP, low unemployment, stock market performance, and job growth. Although these indicators showed positive trends, they are not the only metrics of a healthy economy. Inflation was high, consumer confidence was low, interest rates were elevated, and during most of President Biden's term, economists from both liberal and conservative backgrounds suggested that a recession could be imminent. Such uncertainty is not a favorable economic indicator.

I acknowledge that 49.9% of Americans have been misled and deceived. Yes, there was inflation--as inescapable as COVID--both worldwide. America recovered more quickly due to good leadership.

Geniuses who reveal to the public 3-orders of magnitude errors in their work.

What we really need from Trump is an exec order changing the name of "million" or "billion" so they dont rhyme. Probably "trillion" too.

Million = Keep it. (Cant retcon the millionaire from Gilligan's Island.)
1 Billion -> 1 Barron
1 Trillion -> 1 Elon

One very important indicator is the well known fact that American families were much deeper into debt and credit debt than during previous years before POTUS #46.
