I am just sitting and wondering if President Musk is going to take his chain saw to the $757 billion in federal subsidies to the fossil fuel industry or the $20 billion that Space X gets in federal money?

ExxonMobil reported a profit of $36 billion in 2023. The entire federal civilian workforce costs us $271 billion a year — about a third of the subsidies.
