Elon Musks government service has supposedly come to an end, with the billionaire decamping to his company town of Starbase, Texas. Except there he was in the Oval Office on Friday, in a press availability alongside President Donald Trump. Sporting a black eye given to him by his 5-year-old, he said Musk grumbled about his time in the nations capital. We became essentially the DOGE bogeyman, Musk said. It just became a bit ridiculous.
That complaint echoed similar comments in his media tour preceding that appearance, as Musk whined about his DOGE stint not turning out quite as triumphantly as he had hoped. The federal bureaucracy situation is much worse than I realized, he told The Washington Post. DOGE is just becoming the whipping boy for everything. Not only that, People were burning Teslas. Why would you do that? Thats really uncool.
In other words, his noble effort at reform was undone by the deep state, and all he got for it was a heap of criticism and slumping sales for his car company. Wont somebody pity the billionaire?
Musk has teams of acolytes around him who will no doubt be eager to reassure him that if some people in Washington dont adore him, that just means they didnt deserve him in the first place. But in truth, Musks feelings are irrelevant; what matters is the chaos he brought to the federal government that serves all of us, and the deaths he is at least partly responsible for around the world. The malignancy that is his Department of Government Efficiency project lives on, not only in the cadre of incompetents he has left behind in Washington, but in the spirit of gleeful destruction ever more firmly incorporated into Republican ideology.

ETTD applies. How stupid do you have to be? Maybe the "prescribed" ketamine should be phased out so he can wake up and smell the stench of his involvement in the destruction of our way of life.
He just thinks that he is a "holy untouchable." Maybe that's what surprises him, that we are not grateful to see fellow citizens tossed out like the trash.
He didn't know that this would happen?? Go ahead and play the victim, but we are not going to forget. Selling Tesla cars, power walls? Gonna be hard now.
