    You know that won’t be the case. Musk has already been recorded reneging on his “DOGE checks” lie to a supporter who asked him directly about when those checks would go out.

      Well he did that because actually paying would be a crime and promising to pay a pleb money and backing out is just “business.”

      The smart people ask for it in cash up front. But, ya know, maga ain’t smert!

          It’s just a check for double the COVID stimulus, before inflation, without the unlimited fraud of the PPP loans. In the grand scheme of a federal government that had $4.9t in revenue it’s significant but not insane.

          The unbelievable thing is that DOGE was claiming a $105b savings would pay for it. Even if they reached their goal of $1t it wouldn’t be enough.

          These people are just straight up too lazy to do basic math.
