    Musk has vowed to cut "at least $2 trillion" off the nation's budget, promising to "get the government off your back and out of your pocketbook," during a recent rally in New York City.

    But economists have plenty of doubts whether that's even possible to begin with, as CNN reports.

    What's far more likely is that Musk and [Vivek] Ramaswamy will use the opportunity to line their own pockets while Medicare and Social Security crumble from neglect, a conflict of interest of staggering proportions."
