Except that chart shows that the last time the GOP controlled Congress, back in the 90's, they were able to cut spending significantly and cause the debt levels to drop down. They had 55 votes in the Senate, and were able to secure 4 Democrat votes to pass a major reform bill. Bill Clinton decided not to fight because he was a moderate who compromised with Republicans for his entire political life.

Any chart that shows Presidents overlapped with the Federal Debt is a retarded chart that shows nothing. The purse is in Congress and the Senate's threshold is at 60 votes for the past 120 years.
As soon as the GOP lost the Senate in 2000, and GOP Senators dropped to 50, then debt levels begun to skyrocket again. This is because Democrats are cancer, and they will never vote to cut spending or reduce taxes. Democrats only tax and spend.
Elon is playing on the ignorance of the public, such as yourself, either because he himself ignorant, or he knows better and just wants to backstab the GOP since they are cutting his EV programs.
Except I in the long run I don’t think it’s possible to cut electric vehicles. Many blue states, including the big ones will stop selling new gas powered vehicles by 2035.
