This is my mother. In her 80s, racist AF, conservative, voted for Trump, has cancer, on Medicare, etc. Now she expresses her worry that Medicare funding will be cut. But she's also betting that because Musk is a "genius" he won't take benefits away from the elderly.

It's even worse/dumber than this, due to her federal unionized employment pension. Unions are apparently evil, despite her pension and paying for her Medicare B late enrollment penalties. The brain rot is really maddening and sad to see in person.

They already wanted to sacrifice the elderly for the economy during covid.
