View submission: Elon Musk can’t balance the budget

View parent comment

I mean, to be clear, *we have no idea what Musk's plan is*. I'm not even sure we know if Musk has a plan more detailed than "the federal budget has gotta be at least 2/7ths cuttable stuff based on my gut". He might just be pulling numbers out of his ass.

But yes, for Musk to balance the budget by cutting social security benefits, he would have to keep the taxes in place while cutting benefits. This would be stupid and unpopular.
