But, but I thought musk was saving us tons of money?!? ๐คฃ
He cut a bunch of programs that saved a bunch of money and prevents expensive incidents. Hr saved virtually nothing compared to the us budget but it'll be more expensive in the long run.
That's separate from increased spending and trade restrictions reducing national income
Yeah, thankfully the insurance companies do long term climate projections, right?
Some definitely do. But in the us that probably just means some sneaky terms so you're not covered :/
When reality hits Musk's simplistic view of the world and the world doesn't give in under the weight of his money like he's used to.
