In addition, government research in the sciences is miniscule. You could cut ALL of science funding and be no where close to the 1 trillion that Musk claims he'll be able to reduce the budget by

Regardless, he'll claim he cut 500 bajillion dollars no matter what he ends up doing

My bet is that if he expects to cut 2 trillion, he will end up increasing the budget by 4 trillion.

No no, you don't understand. This is what people have actually been asking for this whole time. Nobody wanted the budget randomly cut, they wanted it distributed

Sadly we already know it will be distributed to the friends of the 1%

He actually claimed 2 trillion.

The goal's more about cutting all the science funding than reducing spending. These are people who bitch about Ukraine when they don't even plan on spending that money on something else they're just guzzling Russian propaganda.
