Elon Musk has been tasked by President Trump to come in and start drastically cutting the size of the Federal Government.
Some estimates say it could be as large as a 90% cut.
Of course Elon was famous for doing the exact same thing at Twitter, firing a bunch of (worthless) staff and even unplugging several (worthless) server farms.
Walter Isaacson famously tells the story of Elon diverting his plan to the Twitter server farm in Sacramento because the process was not coming along fast enough, so Elon flew in and cut the servers right on the spot!
Savage!
It’s an incredible story, listen here:

So it’s no surprise that President Trump would tap him to run the same job on the Government.
And I absolutely LOVE it!
Elon has humorously titled it DOGE (his long running joke about his favorite cryptocurrency) — an acronym for the Department Of Government Efficiency.
You have to love how Elon mixes in humor with absolutely ruthlessness!
But….will it be ruthless?
Will Elon and Trump just mass-fire millions of Americans and leave them jobless and homeless?
No!
In this short clip, Elon explains exactly how they’ll do it….basically Government workers will get a 2-year severance or something crazy like that.
“Just go do something else” Elon says while laughing.
Take the time to fine a new job, earn double income for 2 years, take a vacation, do whatever you want, but you’ll essentially be paid for doing nothing for 2 years — more than enough time to go find a new job:
They can earn double income, go on vacation, whatever they want. It’s a good deal. https://t.co/vxSOeyyQmH

Now if you’re like me or this guy below and you hear that, you’re immediately thinking “how can I get a government job real quick before January 20, 2025?”
Hilarious:
Trying to get a government job real quick so I can get fired.

But back to being serious for a moment, this shows exactly how we can fire 90% of Government workers and not hurt anyone, not crash the economy, not do anything drastic….
If you can’t find a job in 2 years then there’s some other problem with you, but we can’t afford to let you suck off the Government dole for the rest of your life.
And on the flip side, some people say this sounds incredibly wasteful….but I completely disagree.
Folks, this nonsense has been going on for decades and shows no sign of stopping or even shrinking. Just more and more Government inflation and paying people to do worthless jobs or really no work at all!
Elon’s 2-year severance plan really changes nothing! We’ll be paying that anyway with the status quo! The only thing it changes is it puts a DEADLINE on when all the nonsense will finally come to an end.
So to say it’s wasteful or reckless misses the point entirely.
It’s brilliant.
It’s needed.
It’s time.
Backup video here if needed:
ELON: MANY PEOPLE IN THE GOVERNMENT COULD BE MORE PRODUCTIVE ELSEWHERE
“We will reduce a lot of government headcount, but we’re going to give very long severances.
Like two years, or something like that.
Look, just go do something else is what we’re going to say.
And you’ll… pic.twitter.com/mQZPmCge0D

RELATED REPORT:
ELON MUSK: "America Is Headed For Bankruptcy!"
You know how the phrase "it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out"?
Well, sometimes an ACTUAL rocket scientist comes along, and perhaps we should listen to him?
Not just a rocket scientist (SpaceX) but also the man single-handedly saving the American car industry and building the entire electric car network from scratch (Tesla), fixing our energy grid problems (Tesla/Solar), fixing our traffic congestion problems (Boring Company), fixing our Internet (Starlink) and finally, fixing free speech on the Internet (Twitter/X).
Perhaps that's a guy we should listen to?
It's so easy to hate on electric cars, and yes they USED TO suck.
But they don't anymore.
At least not Tesla cars.
Anyone hating on Tesla has never driven one, it's that simple.
They're absolutely revolutionary and so fun to drive!
I'm not a "car guy" but I freaking love Tesla!
So when Elon Musk speaks, I tend to listen up, and he just sounded the warning TWICE on America either heading for bankruptcy or currently being bankrupt already.
First this:
Just another fyi that government spending is driving America bankrupt … https://t.co/giuRkeHzI8

So....what can you do?
A lot.
Start here:
GET YOUR MONEY OUT OF THE BANKS!
I'm going to give you one big disclaimer upfront: I am not a financial advisor and I can't give you personalized financial advice. We square on that? Ok good.
But I am a reporter and what I see happening with the banking system scares me a lot.
The first thing that scares me about keeping dollars in a bank account is how they lose value year over year.
You know that right?
Think you're being smart and "saving up"?
You're literally losing money every year to inflation.
This perfectly sums it up:

Yes, if you simply left $1 million in cash in the bank since 1913, do you know what it would be worth?
$40,000.
Your $1 million from 1913 would have the purchasing power in 2024 of $40,000.
Ouch!
But that's not even what scares me the most....
What scares me is another round of bank closures like we had last year.
Here's what's happening in China right now:
BREAKING: 40 Chinese Banks Just Crashed and Vanished — “Worse Than 1980 S&L Crisis!”
Yes, that's real.
And yes, I believe it comes here next.
But even if your bank is open, can you get the money out?
Have you ever tried?
Sure you have to leave some money in there, but you don't want big amounts of money sitting in bank accounts.
Because you might never be able to get it out!
Go ahead, test me out on this...even right now in good times (before a full-blown banking crisis hits America) go to your bank right now and try and withdraw $10,000. They will look at you with panicked looks on their face. I guarantee it. Then they'll go get their supervisor. The supervisor will come over and tell you they can't do that today. Come back in 2-3 days. And then they'll start the interrogation. "What do you need this money for?" "Where is this money going?" Only after you answer all their questions, wait 2-3 days, fill out a bunch of paperwork, only then will you MAYBE be allowed to take YOUR money out of YOUR account.
I guarantee that's how it will go for you....
Test me out!
Go try it and report back below in the comments.
So now the big question: Ok, what can YOU do about it?
How do you prepare?
How do you make sure you and your family are not at risk when the banking crisis hits America (which I believe it will, very soon).
The answer is you do exactly what I've been preaching about for over a year now....get your money OUT of the banks! (Not personalized financial advice, just common sense from where I sit). That's Step #1.
Hold firm, be determined, play their stupid games, and get your money out of the banks!
Because while YOU view it as your money in your bank account, that's not how the bank views it. The bank views it as their money. And the dirty little secret is they LENT OUT your money to other people already. Sometimes 9-10 times over! It's true, I'll do a separate report soon on that explaining "fractional reserve banking".
But Step #2 is the most critical....you don't want to just get your money out of the banks, you want to get it out of the US Dollar.
The most basic and traditional financial wisdom has always viewed Precious Metals (Gold and Silver) as the safest places to have your money when a crisis hits.
So while I can't give you personalized financial advice, I can tell you a couple things: (1) the Big Central Banks have all been buying Gold and Silver hand over fist for the last couple years. Gee, I wonder why? And (2) Gold and Silver have stood the test of time back to the Bible times as being the best store of wealth to weather out a storm in the economy. Period.
And now Step #3 is where I'm going to make sure I don't leave you hanging.
I have two killer connections for you...
Two companies that I trust for getting the best deals on Gold and Silver. PHYSICAL Gold and Silver, the real stuff. Not some phony symbol traded on some stock exchange that may or may not have actual Gold and Silver backing it up. You want the real stuff.
And because I love the free market and competition, I have two great companies to recommend to you. You can talk to both, see who you like better, and then take action!
The first is WLT Precious Metals ran by my friend Ira Bershatsky.
I have personally sent family members to Ira for 5-figure purchases of Gold and Silver and he treated them like royalty. They were very pleased.
That's how much I trust Ira.
I didn't tell him I was sending them over either (and these particular family members have a different last name) so I did it as a bit of a "secret shopper" test and Ira passed with flying colors.
Of course I knew he would.
That's why I work with him and that's why I have confidence telling you about him.
Ira can handle bulk purchases of bullion, coins, whatever you want.
All custom ordered and shipped right to your door.
Load MoreA lot of people love Bullion because its the cheapest and most economical way to do it, to stretch your dollar into as much gold and silver as possible.
The website is called WLT Precious Metals and when you see my logo in the top left-hand corner, you'll know you're in the right place.
You'll get a personal phone call with Ira Bershatsky (or someone on his team) and they will work with you free of charge for as long as needed to answer any questions you have and get you taken care of.
How about that!
You don't see that much anymore, but Ira and his team pride themselves on good old-fashioned real customers service:
No sales pitch, just real, actual help.
And the best prices you will find.
Here's the only disclaimer I will give you: because they do pride themselves on dedicated service, it might take a few days before you get a phone call back. Just be patient.
Good things come to those who wait!
You can contact Ira and WLT Precious Metals here.
Ira can also help you if you want to purchase Gold and Silver in your IRA.
I mean, his name is Ira, after all, OF COURSE he can help you purchase in your IRA account.
The thing I love about purchasing in your IRA account is you can do it with no money out of pocket. You just take money already in the IRA account, perhaps in stocks or bonds or other investments, and you can shift it into Gold and Silver.
Again, I'm not your personalized financial advisor, I'm just explaining how it works.
And it's REALLY cool.
So even if you're saying times are tough right now, I don't have a lot of spare money to shift into Gold and Silver, you might have a golden opportunity (pun intended!) already sitting there in an established retirement account.
Ok, that was option #1.
Now I want to tell you about option #2.
An equally great company, I am so happy to be working with these guys.
This next company is called Genesis Gold and this is also for people who want to purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts).
In addition to "no money out of pocket", do you know what the beauty of that is?
TAX FREE baby!
I'm not a tax advisor, but that's a general oversimplification.
Never pay more taxes than you are legally required to pay.
And that's why I love getting gold and silver in my IRA (and why I hold a large chunk in an IRA myself!).
There's so much to love about Genesis Gold, starting with the fact they are proudly and un-ashamedly Christina!
They call it "Faith-Driven Stewardship" and they put it right on the homepage of their website along with a quote from Ezekiel:
Here's more on why gold and silver in your IRA are so powerful:
You can contact Genesis Gold here.
They are also very backed up with record demand, so you may have to wait a bit, but someone WILL get in touch with you for personal customer service and assistance!
Tell 'em Noah sent ya!
Oh, and did you know Genesis is recommended by SUPERMAN himself?
It's true.
Superman himself, Clark Kent -- Dean Cain -- came on my show and we broke it all down:
Watch here:
Stay safe!
Be ready.
Be prepared.
Before you go, I have one more thing to show you....
This actually just came out and it's super cool.
In addition to bullion, coins or even Gold and Silver in your IRA, this has a very specific purpose and it might be worth having some on hand:
Buy It -- Break It -- Trade It -- New Silver "Invention" Has Never Been Done Before!
A new physical precious metals product launched that immediately caused a stir in the gold and silver industry. "Prepper Bar" is a utility bar that is perforated to allow owners the ability to break off pieces ranging from 1.5 grams up to 7.7 grams.
They fit nicely in one's wallet so they can be carried around constantly.
"People have been asking me how we came up with the idea and I have to tell them that I can't take credit," said Jonathan Rose, CEO at Prepper Bar. "Over the years, our customers have been asking for something tradeable, portable, and spendable so we made Prepper Bar as the perfect accommodation."
These 62 gram bars are flat and come in either silver or gold. The Silver Prepper Bar is available for immediate shipment while the Gold Prepper Bar will be available by the end of June.
We asked Rose what makes these bars so different from regular bars or coins.
"Gold and silver are great for holding wealth but you'd need a pretty sturdy hacksaw to shave off incremental chunks for sale or barter," he said. "Prepper Bars are strong but they can be easily broken along the perforations so if we find ourselves in a pinch, we can break off the right amount, no problem."
Check out the new Prepper Bars today!
How cool is this?
