It’s impossible to know, he’s a bit of a wildcard.
The one redeeming thing about right populists is that they generally want to be popular, so it’s perhaps less likely for him to do it than a more “conventional” republican.
They never want to be popular by actually helping people. They’re popular by spreading hate and fear. If you’re a member of a group that they consider “inferior”, you’re very much a target.

Are you insane, stoned, or just not particularly well-jnformed?
Short version— we don’t know.
Longer version— it is likely, doge is looking to make cuts, and while it would be insanely unpopular, it could be on the table.
The treasury secretary wants to reduce the deficit to 3% of gdp but also to cut taxes… so cuts to social programs are possible (likely)
So while we can say we don’t know for sure, it is highly likely.
Imagine having the advisory team named after the cryptoscam one of the members (at least) participated in. Doesn’t get more clowny and openly dishonest than that.
named after the cryptoscam
“doge” became a meme in 2010, long before cryptocurrency was a thing the mainstream were even aware of, let alone the one named after it.
The only possible way is if they change the name to Bureau of Corruption.
Just to clarify “doge” isn’t a real thing and has no real power. They can propose cuts, but it would be the senate and the house that would have to pass changes to social security. They may take up initiatives “doge” proposes, but it’ll be your representatives that make the actual choice.

Seems like they will be pushing for more work requirements, less funding, and fewer legal protections (ie pre-existing conditions)
“Pre-existing conditions” is just insurance industry slang for something we all have: “medical history”.
“It says here on your application that you consume multiple substances daily which long term users are known to have a 100% fatality rate. I’m afraid we’re going to have to deny you coverage.”
“What substances?”
“Air and water. Your dependence on them is a non-covered pre-existing condition.”
Hard to fucking tell, but if you’re able to help him build a contingency plan its never a bad idea.
It’s a reach but are there any other passports/residencies that you might be eligible for? The UK has some ancestral homeland recovery options and your religion or ethnicity may also entitle you to some options.
If the US goes as tits up as it’s looking it’ll be fucking impossible to have a disability and support yourself - Elon has his eyes locked on Medicaid and non-age-based Medicare recipients… and the Dual-eligibles are likely the first on the chopping block.
So pretty much my brother is fucked and I will have to go back to my home state and help him.?
When you say “the Dual-eligibles are likely the first on the chopping block”, do you keep people with dual nationalities, or people who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid?
If (thing) cost money and benefits non-milionaires, consider them at least at risk.
