ELON MUSK GOES OFF AGAIN. Has it really been less than a month since Elon Musk flew off the handle, trashed his benefactor, the president, pledged to kill the administration’s top legislative priority, and, on top of all that, called to have the president impeached? It seems like years ago, but it has actually been less than 30 days. That’s how quickly Musk disappeared from national politics when he left his position at the Department of Government Efficiency and returned to his valuable work at SpaceX and Tesla, among other companies.
Now, though, Musk is at it again. With President Donald Trump’s top legislative priority — Trump calls it the “big, beautiful bill” — in a critical stage on Capitol Hill, Musk has stepped in again to threaten the president and the Republican Party with political ruination. What a good friend!
