    He's already proven himself trustworthy to cut government waste, but no, I don't recommend trusting his humanoid robots. Not until he does more to sever his ties with the rest of the world elite.

    Because who knows? Maybe all the money he's saving us is precisely how much it costs to murder 80% of the world's population. I wouldn't put it past him, until he tells Google, Apple, and the rest of the WEF to f off. As "great" as he is, do you think he would do that for us?

    No, which means he is not very great. He will go wherever the money and popular opinion go.

    Musk isn't an altruist by any means - his past record reflects that.
    The areas he's cutting all seem to reflect personal benefit by
    hamstringing investigations into his companies rather than any overall
    cost-cutting benefit.

    You'd think Musk would have volunteered cost-cutting in some of his
    contracts and subsidies as an example - if he had, he would have
    radically throttled any scrutiny of his actions and appeared less
    driven by personal benefit.

    He's not saving "us" any money.
