@mekkaokereke It seems like what he was trying to do was juxtapose what Musk wants to cut vs what's actually causing problems, which makes the "Elon Musk is right" a premise that he's redirecting.

It's a traditional debate tactic. But Twitter is not a debate stage, and he did not develop the argument.

A better opening would have been, "Elon Musk wants to cut the government budget." Then have what he says about the Pentagon. Then end with, "Why isn't Musk talking about the Pentagon budget?"
