        You know that won’t be the case. Musk has already been recorded reneging on his “DOGE checks” lie to a supporter who asked him directly about when those checks would go out.

          Well he did that because actually paying would be a crime and promising to pay a pleb money and backing out is just “business.”

          The smart people ask for it in cash up front. But, ya know, maga ain’t smert!

            $5,000 being directly given to you is really too good to be true. I first saw that number and was like “total bullshit” right away. Those stupid morons would believe anything.

              It’s just a check for double the COVID stimulus, before inflation, without the unlimited fraud of the PPP loans. In the grand scheme of a federal government that had $4.9t in revenue it’s significant but not insane.

              The unbelievable thing is that DOGE was claiming a $105b savings would pay for it. Even if they reached their goal of $1t it wouldn’t be enough.

              These people are just straight up too lazy to do basic math.

    When do the DOGE checks start? You know, the money that you’re entitled to for paying into the DOGE Ponzi scheme your whole life.
