    Musk has been spouting how Social Security is a scam and how tariffs will make up for it. Basically, kiss your social security pension away and just hope a substitute pops up - although it will likely be in the form of “get a check if you don’t criticize us” now. DOGE is an excuse to Big Data everything from every department and process it through AI, including knowing your political association.

      I have equal confidence in a trump designed Social Security replacement as the healthcare replacement trump came up with to replace Obamacare (ACA).

      Hilarious.

      “Social security is a scam” = “I’m taking your retirement money for myself”

      “Tariffs will make up for it” = “As a bonus fuck you, 20% tax on everything you need to survive”
