DOGE unveils a roadmap, Unlocking GDP Growth, WW3 escalation, Fat cell memory

And a great way to do that would be to say the efficiency gains and the tax cuts are going to go to people making, let's say, under $250,000. These cuts are not being made just to make the rich richer. That's going to be the framing.

Well, you could do what's right, and you could start with things that are the most wasteful. If you start cutting kids' lunches or Pell Grants, or you start cutting people's jobs in healthcare or education that people perceive are helping people, I think you're going to just feed into this narrative that it's a way to cut taxes on rich people. And you know what? You do need to build consensus.

If you cut regulations and a bunch of our companies benefit from it, just to be self-aware, the framing is already that this is an effort for companies that we invest in to have less regulation, to make the equity holders in those companies more rich. You have to make sure that the, hold on. It's for all Americans.

You have to make sure the savings is for all Americans and that all Americans benefit from it. And the way they benefit it, the best framing they could do is your taxes are going to be lower because you're not wasting your tax dollars. If they can keep to that, not, hey, we're moving regulations so that our companies get bigger.

And you have to show it is my point. That's the point is you have to show people that you're doing this for everybody, not just for the people on this podcast and our friends. That's going to be the key.

And my point is you have to communicate that. You have to be able to communicate that. And that's where using Elon's platform... But Malay's point is it chills up the economy. Malay did the perfect job of communicating this to people. And that's the playbook, Freeberg. That's my point. People are going to fight this. You have to convince them. You have to show them that this is helping everybody.

I think you have to highlight those, do them first. I said do those first. Make sure that people understand this is to save them money. I'm not saying that you don't change regulations for spaceships and self-driving cars as well, but you have to make sure you show people that this can benefit them or else they're going to just fight it.

And that's going to be the whole, all this effort will be for naught. If you get a bunch of Republicans, Sachs, who start fighting this and you have a splintering in your party because they feel like this isn't helping their local constituents, this whole thing could be for naught.
