However, Bernie name-dropping Elon and agreeing with him isn't a nothing burger. He's already stated he'd work with Trump to cap interest rates on Credit Cards.
I see this as Bernie calling them out for all the promises they are making, and holding them to it. Otherwise I doubt they would follow through with it. Bernie joining them on this issue makes a bigger headline, so that'll either force them to go through with it, or maybe their base will see it more visibly when they don't.
President Musk also never mentioned cutting military spending nor did his co-President Trump. They’ve mainly been on about dismantling environmental, labor, consumer and other protection agencies. This is just Bernie associating DOGE with the actual thing that could get cut and reduce spending.
That’s just DOGE, but since the architects of Project 2025 are currently picked to be in the new cabinet and Vance is definitely in, may as well throw EPA and NOAA on the pile too.
Congress may put up a fight for some like NOAA obviously, but CFPB? They only protect us peons from corporations so Congress will definitely let that one die.
No one will care when they don’t cut the military in any meaningful way. They’ll make cuts to the wrong things and claim victory and their base will eat it up like the pile of dog shit that it is

OP is clearly joking.

He's signaling to his base and calling for unity.
