With Tesla sales plummeting, SpaceX losing deals left and right, and Trump abandoning him, Elon is now advocating for tariff-free trade and the free movement of the workforce between the US and the EU.

If You Lie With DOGE You Get Fleeced

I have to admit that even now I’m not sure how the Donald Trump/Elon Musk breakup will play out. We’ve seen so many Trump critics eventually cave, engaging in humiliating acts of self-abasement, that it’s hard to be sure that even Musk — who has a monstrous ego, but whose business interests can be badly damaged by a vengeful president — is immune.
But one indication that this breach won’t be easily resolved is the pace at which anti-Musk stories are being leaked to the news media.
I was especially struck by reports of a confrontation between Musk and Scott Bessent, the Treasury secretary. We have solid reporting of the fact that the two men fought over the choice of acting IRS commissioner, and that Bessent won. Unfortunately, our only account of what happened next comes from Steve Bannon. But that story is almost too good not to be true.
According to Bannon, after the meeting the two men began exchanging insults, with Bessent pointing out that Musk had promised to find trillions of dollars in wasteful spending but come up empty. “You’re a fraud. You’re a total fraud,” Bessent supposedly said. At that point Musk body-checked the Treasury secretary, who hit back, and White House staff had to break up the fight.
Is this story plausible? Is the world’s richest man so lacking in self-control that he would behave like a hopped-up adolescent in the White House? Of course he is — that’s the completely plausible part of the story. I’m a little more skeptical of the portrayal of Bessent as someone willing to speak the truth that bluntly.
But in any case what Bessent supposedly said was completely true. Musk is a total fraud. He failed to deliver on his promises of huge deficit reduction. In fact, DOGE almost certainly lost money. There’s no evidence for many of the cost savings it claims, and the “receipts” it has provided are full of misstatements and errors. And the disruption it caused almost surely cost taxpayers more than any minor savings it may have found.
Furthermore, its depredations have left both the federal government and the nation as a whole degraded and weakened in ways that will take years to reverse.
Of course, you shouldn’t expect anyone in the Trump administration to admit that DOGE was a complete, costly bust. These people never admit being wrong. But if you look at what is actually happening right now, there’s clearly a frantic effort at de-DOGEification. The Washington Post reports,
Across the government, the Trump administration is scrambling to rehire many federal employees dismissed under DOGE’s staff-slashing initiatives after wiping out entire offices, in some cases imperiling key services such as weather forecasting and the drug approval process.
The people DOGE installed in federal agencies appear to be losing most or all of their influence now that they no longer have a patron with the president’s ear, and it appears that at least some of the young tech bros Musk tried to put in charge of government programs they didn’t understand are self-deporting.
Oh, and if you think I’m being disrespectful by making fun of the Muskenjugend, consider what we’ve learned about the U.S. Institute for Peace, which DOGE took over for a while before being forced by the courts to give up control. Returning workers reportedly found the office full of cockroaches and rodents, with leftover marijuana and empty beer bottles strewn about.
All of this was completely predictable. Well, maybe not a fistfight in the White House, but anyone who knew anything about how the federal government spends its money knew that DOGE would fail.
To repeat the old line, the federal government is basically an insurance company with an army. Musk made a brief stab at going after the insurance side, with his ludicrous claim that millions of dead people were collecting Social Security, but aside from that all of DOGE’s efforts were focused on where t

Mark Rober already risked his entire YouTube channel running fake Tesla tests like this and was called out for it. Whoever is doing this had better be certain that they're not playing games or they might end up being buried.
At the end of the day, nobody gives a fuck. You seem to think otherwise.
Elon ain't my daddy. I don't cry when any billionaire loses money.
I'm just sitting here laughing because you lefttards and your coal burning cars are shit no matter who's making them.

I told you it was all fake from the beginning.
The only Lefttard out there who was saying this along with me was Whoopi Goldberg of all people.

Meanwhile, WWIII hasn't happened, nor has any of the other sky is falling rhetoric we've been hearing over the last 6 months.
And now we have idiot Ted and idiot Second cheering that Trump isn't going to deport American hating alien invaders as if this is the first true thing that Trump has ever said in his life.
Everybody needs to stop listening to the news as it comes out and just cool their jets for a few days at least and see what is actually happening instead of just freaking out about a headline they read that day.
You all end up looking like assholes almost immediately when you don't do this. Especially right now when Trump is playing everybody because he knows exactly how the media operates and reacts.

This explosion marked another in a series of technical problems for Starship. Explosions also took place after test launches in January and March 2025.
