"That is a far cry from the 40 percent figure that was parroted by MAGA in recent months, including by DOGE's recently departed leader, Elon Musk, and Vice President JD Vance.

The real figure is about .0018 percent.

Musk, who has been notably quieter the last month, did not immediately address his department's face-palm on Thursday."

Too late...Russell Vought is in charge of DOGE.

And POTUS.

It's his show now, anyone thinking otherwise isn't paying attention.

Buckle up boys and girls, MAGATs are gonna get everything they thought they wanted.

Whoever came up with the 40% figure sounds precisely like the incompetent worthless federal employee who should be fired.
