MUSK: DOGE Will Cut $1 TRILLION in Spending ‘Unless We’re Stopped.’

Earlier now I had to reveal the bad news about the business. Now it’s time for the good news.

Savings generated by DOGE during the first two decades of Trump 47 “exceed$ 4 billion per day”, Musk told Fox News on Monday evening. He also said he and his team will achieve$ 1 TRILLION in savings “unless we’re stopped” .&nbsp,

Drop on to that last column for a moment while I tell you why that great range is a very great deal. Besides, of course, from the absurd largeness of a one followed by 12 digits. &nbsp,

Going into this DOGE thing shortly after Trump’s re-inauguration, Musk laid out just how much work there was to do and how difficult it would be to achieve his goal of cutting our]dr_evil_voice ] TWO TRILLION DOLLAR]/dr_evil_voice ] deficit in half. ” Reducing the federal deficit from$ 2T to$ 1T in FY2026″, Musk explained back in January, “requires cutting an average of ~$ 4B/day in projected 2026 spending from now to Sept 30”.

In the last seven-plus days, DOGE has exceeded its seemingly unattainable goal, though just little. This is maybe the best information you’ll learn all year, even though the tradition reptile media insists that it’s all doom and gloom and starving ignorant children who can no longer find their nads hacked off at taxpayer expense.

Not to get too deep into the weeds, but cutting]dr_evil_voice ] ONE TRILLION DOLLARS ]/dr_evil_voice ] wasn’t some nice-sounding number picked at random.

I’ll stay this as simple and gentle as I know how.

Rates rise and fall all the time according to changing market conditions. But prices is unique. It’s when the government prints more money faster than the market grows more value. More money charges chasing around the same amount of goods and services causes a quick and basic increase in the price of everything, AKA prices.

So much, so great?

And Another Factor: This is completely unrelated but needs to be said. Our VIP Gold members get to join Stephen Kruiser, Yours Truly, and sometimes a special guest once or twice a week on the FiveO’Clock Somewhere video live chat. I love seeing the same individuals in the talk every year — Kruiser and I call them “our VIP household”— but I keep thinking of all the VIP Gold people who aren’t joining in. Travel join the fun at 3 p. m. Eastern on Friday.

Barring a recession, the economy is expected to grow by about 2.2 % this year — a roughly$ 638 billion increase in the size of the economy. Barring DOGE cuts, Washington is expected to borrow]dr_evil_voice ] TWO TRILLION DOLLARS ]/dr_evil_voice]. That’s inflationary interesting cash printed up out of nowhere. Suddenly, about speaking, the difference between those two yuge numbers is the prices we’ll experience. &nbsp,

If Musk and the Expand kids can reduce a trillion dollars of funny money out of 2025 investing, they’ll body most of the prices, too. They might even get us under the 2 % inflation that the Fed targets because the Powers That Be — the ones who politically benefit from spending money we don’t have — long ago decided that 2 % annual inflation is good for us, ackshully. But that’s a discussion for another day.

Back to today’s news: DOGE cutting$ 4 billion a day “would still result in a ~$ 1T deficit”, Musk said several weeks ago,” but economic growth should be able to match that number, which would mean no inflation in 2026″. A trillion dollars in growth looks unlikely this year but that’s something I’d dearly love to be wrong about.

The point is that there is a trillion dollars at stake, “unless we’re stopped”, as Musk put it Monday, and people have been murdered for a lot less than a trillion dollars.
