This is a bad headline and it lends credence to the GOP framing that Trump and Elon are “cutting waste” and “saving money”. Musk didn’t “save” 8 billion OR 8 million dollars, he illegally halted payment for 8 million dollars worth of government services. Whether those services were wasteful or not has not been examined at all, as evidenced by these absolute clowns accidentally firing critical government workers who oversee things like nuclear arms and monitoring avian influenza. Multiple times these people have admitted to accidentally firing people when they had no idea what those people were doing and how the firings would affect citizens. We can not roll over and allow them to frame this the way they want to.
Sorry, I just realized that you might take that as directed at you. I realize that sometimes the NYT is the best or only source for news, I’ve just been very frustrated with the NYT, especially when it comes to stuff like this.

True. Thank you.

No! Not at all! I read it as a good addition to the post. You’re fine, friend.
