While 50,000-60000 defense civilian jobs will be cut and DOGE is finding “wasteful spending” Musk's SpaceX now holds Pentagon contracts worth nearly $8 billion and has become the most valuable defense contractor by market valuation. I know the first place to cut!!! #doge #musk #djt

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.
100% of his salary is paid by WA state.
Elon fired him. Share his story.
