This isn't a real offer. This is Musk realizing he and DOGE are not popular (and getting worse).

Didn’t the Republicans rail about this during covid? Wasn’t there massive fraud?

It’s a shrewd political move when he’s made deeply unpopular decisions in MAGA based states. He’s about to cut Medicaid.

Time to send out stimulus checks with his name on them to make everyone happy. It worked during COVID. It will again.

Maybe after my husband and I are laid off, we will qualified to get one of the checks too this time. I’ll make sure to save it to pay for my mortgage.

I’m sure the MAGA base will be excited to get their federal worker blood money.

I cannot believe this is our economic policy now. Fire the libs to get your stimmy.

The US is the world's reserve currency because people trust in the dollar and in the American system.

Sending Americans an 8000 check would shoot inflation through the roof. It would add even more to the deficit and completely trash international markets belief in the dollar or in the American system.

If you get a check for $8000 from Musk, use it to buy a flight out of the country.

So, we can’t send eight grand to individual American citizen taxpayers. But we absolutely can send billions to different non-profits and grifting contractors and give the bureaucrats who set these deals up six figure paychecks?.. 🤨

No silly it’s going to billionaires in the form of massive tax cuts.

But the DOGE cuts being done now won’t even begin to make up for the lost revenue from eliminating taxes on the uber wealthy (fyi not you) and corporations so, You my unfortunate friend will be paying more in taxes.

But this is what you voted for. You voted for trickle down (which isn’t really a thing) economics on steroids. In reality it’s more like the leopards eating you face. So yes, yes you voted for the ridiculously rich (not you) to become even more rich! FAFO

And as a bonus you they will have loss rights and protections.

I’ll add that thanks to the cuts you’ll be paying more taxes for even less service.

If you really think about it, I mean really think about it… then you’ve been served a poo sand which on a fake gold platter.

Their dangling the “not gonna happen” $8,000 bogus check over your head is their just asking you to bow down, drop to your knees and eat said poo sandwich at the alter of Trump and Musk. Next you’ll be asked to smile and say thank you Massa for the poo it sure was good.

Elon in a ketamine daze won’t even notice your stench, but even still there will be no check rather as you lay there, sad little hopeful lump, flaccid he and bulbous Trump will do no more than flick saffron covered vanilla bean cake crumbs in your face.

Did you really believe the goal of Project 2025 was stable family values society? Despite the fact that everything done runs counter to a stable family society in modern times.

Sweeties, $8k is not enough to make me look the other way and forget Trump and his cronies are hellbent on destroying the US and the constitution.

Makes me sick

This....this is why trump loves the uneducated MAGA. All he does is wave something shiny in their face and they are distracted.

You can tell who in this thread uses any tax refund as an opportunity to treat themselves while sitting on credit card debt.

Rs are all about fiscal responsibility. 😉

Devaluing the American dollar to worthless to build up the cryptocurrency economy. Bitcoin is to be replaced by the worthless dollar.

Musk didn't say this, some idiot made it up and now it's all over MAGA internet. Almost like they're really gullible.

Similar unfounded rumor (there’s going to be an amazing show closer) is what finally tipped Woodstock 99 over into violent riots.

That was a good documentary. Ironic that the combination of dyed-in-the-wool hippies overseeing an atrociously rapacious capitalist venture would result in total anarchy.
