You guys all think Elon Musk in government is going to be like SpaceX Elon. but I would bet that it's going to be more like The App Formerly Known As Twitter Elon or Calling That One Guy A Pedo Elon.

i think elon can see spacex vs nasa, and understands that the whole gov is bloated & inefficient in the same way. it will be carnage at first, but only by the standards of people who like/benefit from the bloat. similar to twitter. i agree it will be more like twitter elon but maybe not in the way you mean.

99% of the people championing this way are not rich enough to see no impacts from the Elon plan IMO. It doesn't just mean purging corruption and waste but intentionally tanking the entire economy and they say as much. I have trouble reconciling this with the rest of the party's plans. The deficit has never improved under a Republican, ever. I would have more respect for everyone endorsing this if they were like FischerKing below and said "I know I will suffer under this idea and that most of us will, but it will be worth it" I believe Twitter is demonstrably worse under Elon, but if your metric of success is "it still fulfills minimum obligations with less people" I guess it does that.

i agree it wont be smooth. it will be a massive shakeup and media will be against it the whole way. if we don’t make serious changes then we are all going down no matter how rich. ill take the short term impact to raise my kids in an america with sounder footing. i also believe we’ll have more money to spend on wellbeing of our citizens on the other side. its actually a progressive agenda, not a conservative one.

I guess I don't see it. I care about the deficit and I can't ignore stuff like the below. Based on policy a Republican admin makes the deficit worse. Neither candidate is really promising to deal with it in a meaningful way, but I can't really wrap my head around unleashing an unaccountable immigrant with a history of impulsive behavior on the government to decide what services are and aren't important on his whims.

i consider your position here reasonable. i guess i don’t put much weight on these analyses bc they assume that the policies can be passed the way they are stated, among other issues.
