The Deadly Cost of Ignorance.
(Audio of my latest X article)
I wrote this with genuine hope, to challenge all of us to think more deeply about what’s happening beneath the surface of the immigration debate.
You don’t have to agree with my conclusions.
But I do hope more Americans across the political spectrum will hear it, read it, reflect on it, and ask harder questions about the systems, incentives, and narratives shaping public opinion.
The 2 main reasons democrats viscerally hate President Trump is because they can’t control him&he is exposing all of their rot, corruption&fraud.If their supporters actually took the time to learn what he is doing&why they would realize he is the best president of their lifetime.
OBAMA: “We have to fix our broken immigration system”
Liberals: 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
TRUMP: “We have to stop illegal immigration”
Liberals: 😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬🤬😡🤬
Americans see now more than ever how fake the Left is. They have absolutely ZERO credibility remaining 😭
Democrats built the cages in 2014. They just didn't want you to see the photos until Trump was president.
Obama deported 2.7 million people. Built the largest family detention center in America. 56 people died in his ICE custody.
Standing ovation.
Now it's "the Gestapo."
The machine didn't change. The operator did.
1993. Chuck Schumer is at the White House to make sure that newly elected President Bill Clinton is serious about taking on the problem of illegal immigration.
Chuck now argues for mass amnesty.
Democratic President Bill Clinton deported 12 million people.
Democratic President Barack Obama deported 5 million people.
@POTUS@realDonaldTrump has deported less than 1.5 million people.
Why did YOU not hear about the ICE raids and deportation operations when it was Democratic politicians giving the orders?
#ICE #Minneapolis #trump
Share this with an ICE protestor or Democrat. Watch their worldview collapse under the weight of the contradiction. They will likely not respond, or they’ll hit you with the classic ‘it’s not what they’re doing, it’s how they’re doing it’. No, it’s that they’re doing that all.

Senator John Kennedy on Elon Musk and DOGE exposing USAID, “I'll tell you what Mr. Musk discovered. I find it fascinating. He discovered:
- The American taxpayers are giving money to Afghanistan
- He found that we are giving money to Yemen
- He found that we are giving money to Syria
- He found that the USAID has 10,000 people employees, and every year they give away $40 billion
- He found that the USAID gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam. Our money, taxpayer money
- He found that the USAID gave money to a transgender clinic in India. “I didn't know that. I bet you the American people didn't know that”
- He found that USAID gave $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group, they got $1.5 million to QUOTE, “advanced diversity, equity, inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities”
- They found that USAID spent $164 million to support radical organizations around the world
- They gave $122 million of that to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations
- According to this report in Mr. Musk, the USAID has given millions of dollars to quote organizations in Gaza controlled by Hamas
- He found that we gave $2 million, USAID did, for sex changes in Guatemala
- He found that we gave $20 million to produce a new Sesame Street show in Iraq
- He found that we gave $4.5 million of taxpayer money to combat misinformation in Kazakhstan
- He found that we gave $10 million, USAID did, of meals to an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group called the Nusra Front
- Mr. Musk found that we gave $7.9 million of taxpayer money to a project that would teach Sri Lankan journalists to avoid binary gendered language. (The USAID took 8 million bucks and gave it to a bunch of journalists in Sri Lanka to teach them how to avoid binary gendered language)
- USAID gave $1.5 million to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica
- They gave $1.5 million to rebuild the Cuban media ecosystem
- They gave $1.5 million for quote, art for inclusion of people with disabilities in Belarus
- Another $3.9 million for LGBT causes in Macedonia
- $8.3 million for equity and inclusion education in Nepal
“I could go all night and many of my colleagues are upset. They're really mad at Mr. Musk. Hell, I think we ought to give him a medal”
Gently, softly, calmly, let’s talk about what’s happening in DC right now.
Friends, have you ever been through a ZBB process? If not, let me give you my take. So, in a corporation where expenses are out of control, you have to put the entire company through a zero based budgeting process. It is one of the most painful things that people in a company experience.
You basically have to justify every. single. expense. And you also cut a bunch, and then only add back after you’ve gone through a proper ZBB cycle.
The US government is going through a ZBB right now. And that is necessary because spending is out of control. The complexity is so vast that I expect it will take AI to decipher.
You cannot tell me that a government that accidentally wires hundreds of millions of dollars to the Taliban has its finances in order. That signals an underlying disaster. That signals bad stewardship of resources.
In fact, it is a disaster. Over the last 20 fiscal years, the US government has made ~$2.7 trillion in "improper payments," according to the US Government Accountability Office. Trillion! With a T!
That financial management disaster was not caused by @elonmusk. And there is no painless way to clean it up.
Elon is doing what any executive would do walking into a giant mess. You ZBB and then build back.
So, I don’t believe that America is going to be on the wrong side of global right and wrong, as some are saying. I don’t believe that America is going to be permanently isolationist. I do believe that unwatched finances will get out of control in any human system, and that the GAO has been trying to ring this bell for years, and that scaled complexity requires scaled financial management.
Because the US has the largest budget in the world, it will now go through the single most complex ZBB ever undertaken in the history of the world.
Some states do ZBB, but it's never been done at the federal level. President Jimmy Carter tried, but the bureaucratic systems were too complex, and President Ronald Reagan abandoned the attempt.
So, if there is one person in the world chosen to lead this Grand Canyon of projects, we would hope for the president to choose one of the best capital allocators on the planet. Better if that human is also one who can leverage AI and technical talent to manage the massive complexity.
Anyone who has lived through a ZBB at the corporate level will tell you that it’s hell and everyone hates it. This is why I feel really bad for federal workers -- I have a lot of empathy for civil servants and people doing a great job every day for the United States. No doubt, the uncertainty is trying and stressful for many. It's an unfortunate situation.
So, that's my take. I don't want to speak beyond what I know and can observe from the other side of the country. I've worked both in the private sector and the public sector -- the cultures are different. And an Elon-Musk-style culture is going to be the most hard core of them all. No doubt, it's jarring. It's gonna be a lot.
But what I also know is that every time I have ever doubted Elon, I ended up being the one who was wrong.
