    T-Borg's game plan is the same...pushing the envelope.

    Thankfully, the Senate has rebelled

    as Musk attacks intensify

    He has previously stated he would donate $$$ to those who support him.

    He most likely is pissed off at dropping EV tax incentives. I have no
    idea if he is a "fiscal conservative." DOGE was not about cutting
    true fat...more about hacking away at agencies not liked by Rs.
