President Thomas Jefferson, without a shred of exaggeration, described his first election to the presidency as the “revolution of 1800.” And now, 224 years later, we find ourselves on the brink of something similar.
Sunday in New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden, at a rally in support of former President Donald Trump, entrepreneur and patriot Elon Musk electrified rallygoers by pledging to slash trillions of dollars from the federal government’s budget during a second Trump presidency.
“Your money is being wasted,” Musk said, “and the Department of Government Efficiency is gonna fix that!”
The crowd then erupted in cheers.
“We’re gonna get the government off your back and out of your pocketbook,” Musk added moments later.
In August, Trump endorsed the idea of a government efficiency commission headed by Musk.
Since then, D.O.G.E.-related ideas and accounts have proliferated on Musk’s social media platform X.
