The problem he's facing is if Congress passes bills to make the cuts then they'd be detailed. Musk will be exposed for lying about all of it.

It would also open it to discussion by actual representatives.. who aren't going to want cuts that affect their people.. which is why Congress can spend but isn't good at cutting. But that process needs to stay with Congress so people have representation.. the whole mandate thing is a farce. GOP went along with it.. FAFO

If Trump had a mandate he’d be able to get Congress to help him.

It doesnt matter. If the Republic continue repeating lies their braindead fanbase will just believe it. Trump's still repeating the lie about 150+ year olds getting social security when it was proven to be a lack of knowledge on how COBOL works.

They lie more than they breathe and openly proudly commit unlawful acts. Why would exposing his lies matter at all?
