#6 DOGE's Illusion · The Cuts Behind a Billion-Dollar Meme


Episode 6


Musk’s original pitch? A cool $3 trillion in savings. What we got? About $180 billion — which, in budget math, is basically the difference between I’m buying Twitter and I might buy a second-hand Tesla.

Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency was supposed to cut the fat — fast.

But did DOGE actually save $180 billion… or just cancel left-leaning programs and call it reform?

In this episode, we follow the receipts, decode the spin, and watch the Musk–Trump bromance crash and burn over one “Big Beautiful Bill.”

Featuring: culture war cuts, budget cosplay, and why satire may have died in committee.
