This is what I would call a smoke screen. It's not going to happen, and I can bet a toe out of my left foot (obviously not the right one) that this will be the case.
The White House just yesterday released a statement that Elon Musk was not the head of Doge, that he was not employed by Doge, that he was just an advisor to President Trump.
Why? Well, because protests have started and there is a lot of programs that are being cut that are beginning to hurt real people. Anyone can lookup the FAFO videos with farm owners. They are becoming a common thing on youtube these days.
Also, there's a bunch of lawsuits coming down the pipeline for Elon, and his approval numbers (yeah, we are measuring that now) are quite low at the moment.
This means that this tactic is perfectly suited to "fix" their current situation.
I don't want your toes, bruv. But, if what you're saying about people getting mad about their subsidies being cut is true, that's more pressure to cut checks to voters. The madder a couple hundred farmers get, the bigger the checks will need to be.
