You know who I definitely didn't vote for: The 10,000 employees of USAID. The 87,000 IRS agents hired by Biden. The entire unelected bureaucracy.

Yes. Saw someone post this and elon retweeted:
“I didn’t vote for Elon Musk and his autistic tech bros to get a line-item veto on federal spending!”
Yeah well I didn’t vote for Joe Biden’s non-binary Deep State theater kids to get a blank check to give my tax dollars to fringe left-wing NGO slush funds for four years, but that’s exactly what happened.
Elections have consequences, one of which being the president of the United States—the CEO of the executive branch—gets to make personnel appointments across the administrative state.
Don’t like it? You’ve got two options:
Reduce the size, scope, and power of the administrative state. I promise, you’d garner bipartisan support and find willing allies across the political spectrum here. (For some reason, though, Democrats don’t seem to like this idea. Curious. 🤔)
Don’t lose the election. Don’t spend four years mismanaging the country and lying to the American people about the president’s health, only to swap him out in the election for a weak, untested, unlikeable candidate who wastes billions of dollars on the poorest-run campaign in modern history.
Either way, stop complaining about Elon. We DID vote for this. We returned Trump to office with a strong mandate specifically to end this bullshit. If you don’t like the means—or the personnel choices—by which he’s doing so, that’s on you, not us.
