My bet is they won’t get paid what’s been promised to them because that’s been the conman’s modus operandi since forever.
But in this case it’s not his money.
Except that’s why it actually matters. He controls his own finances, but Congress controls the government’s. If the continued pay they’re promising isn’t accounted for in legislation, bad advice from the president or Elon doesn’t force the government to pay
That’s part of the absurdity here. Mump is arguing that Congress doesn’t appropriate money for agencies, they simply set the ceiling for how much money those agencies or programs should receive. It is the president, he says, who decides the floor for that number. Apparently every other president we’ve had just went along with Congress, I guess? Only this stable genius figured out this one loophole that Congresspeople hate!
Yeah, I’d argue setting any amount different than what was appropriated by Congress, isn’t faithful execution of the laws which is required of the president

Them seizing the whole payment system pretty much means it now is.
Hold it it up in the justice system for the sake of efficienxy.
