He’s fixing the price range, rescuing astronauts and saving the planet.
Look, up within the sky! Is it a chicken? Is it a aircraft?
No! It’s Tremendous-Elon.
However regardless of all Elon Musk is reaching, the richest man on Earth is down within the dumps.
And who can blame him, contemplating the demise threats, arson assaults towards his companies, feral protests and informal defamation towards him on daily basis.
Donald Trump tried shopping for one in every of his Tesla electrical automobiles this week to cheer up his favourite tech assist man, however Musk nonetheless seems unhappy.
He appeared to choke up throughout an interview with Larry Kudlow for Fox Enterprise final week when requested how he stated he was juggling all his different companies, similar to Tesla, SpaceX and X, along with his new accountability of auditing federal authorities spending.
“With nice problem,” he stated, pausing and sighing closely.
“Frankly, I can’t consider I’m right here doing this,” he instructed the empathetic Kudlow, considering how his life has been upended since he determined to again Trump through the marketing campaign after which work without cost to root out “waste, fraud and abuse” within the federal authorities.
“However we’ve received this huge federal price range deficit . . . Our curiosity funds are greater than our Protection Division price range. That was the true wake-up name for me [seeing] that was solely rising over time, which meant that if we didn’t do one thing about this, then there gained’t be any cash for something . . . I simply don’t need America to go bankrupt.”
DOGE digging in
For the as soon as virulently anti-Trump darling of the liberal elites, it’s a heroic patriotic mission, and one which appeals to his nearly childlike sense of order and justice.
He has stated that it was Trump’s superhero-style fist pump after he was nearly killed by an murderer’s bullet in Butler, Pa., that satisfied him to hitch “Darkish MAGA.”
However issues soured as soon as he began to use his good thoughts to authorities spending via DOGE, the playfully named “Division of Authorities Effectivity.”
Shares in Tesla tanked this week, his social-media agency X was hit with a cyber assault, and his web price suffered an 11-figure drop.
However he’s vowed to remain serving to Trump for an additional 12 months.
Most People love that he and his crew of high-IQ whiz children are exposing outrageous fraud and waste, similar to $1.5 million for variety, fairness and inclusion (DEI) applications in Serbia, $70,000 for a DEI musical in Eire, $47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia, $32,000 for a transgender comedian guide in Peru, and $2 million for intercourse modifications in Guatemala.
The general public isn’t shopping for the relentlessly anti-Musk, anti-DOGE propaganda, in accordance with current polls.
In truth, a CBS/YouGov ballot final week was so optimistic that CNN pollmeister Harry Enten declared it “stunning” as a result of it confirmed a majority of People assist DOGE’s cuts to federal authorities spending.
One other ballot, the Washington Publish/IPSOS ballot discovered 42% consider that DOGE is reducing “wasteful” spending whereas solely 36% consider that the division is reducing “vital applications.”
However, as a result of Musk’s proposed cuts go to the guts of Democrats’ secret funding of their avenue militias and most nefarious actions, a vicious full-court press is being utilized to attempt to break Musk.
The Resistance has determined that Trump is impervious to their assaults, so they’re coming after Musk simply as laborious, attempting to destroy his companies and his peace of thoughts.
Don’t consider haters
A Cupboard assembly final week portrayed as a showdown between Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been used to say that DOGE is on skinny ice and that Musk’s relationship with Trump is in tatters.
However anybody who sees the president and his tech assist man collectively sees a real respect and rapport.
Regardless of his exuberant temperament, Musk by no means describes himself as something “tech assist” — providing solutions to the Cupboard of the place they’ll usefully trim fats.
In the event that they select to not, they’ll reply to the general public.
A number of the urged cuts is probably not prudent, however at the least authorities spending is below the microscope ultimately. That’s a trigger for celebration. It’s our cash, in any case.
DOGE is clear about its findings, which we will all see in helpful chart type on its web site doge.gov.
Estimated financial savings discovered to this point are $105 billion from a mixture of “asset gross sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper fee deletion, grant cancellations, curiosity financial savings, programmatic modifications, regulatory financial savings and workforce reductions.”
The quantity saved per taxpayer to this point is $652.17, DOGE claims.
Musk says he’s assured he’ll attain $1 trillion in financial savings, and Trump mused final month about giving a few of that cash again to taxpayers within the type of a DOGE dividend verify.
That might be a pleasant little political sweetener for the midterm elections.
Except for politics, DOGE has discovered epic waste on DEI applications alone.
The numbers are merely staggering.
No one who cares about taxpayer cash could be throwing it away on such a frivolous waste of time.
We’ve heard of the tens of hundreds of thousands saved by axing DEI applications that USAID was exporting worldwide — $28 million in Burma, as an example.
However that’s the tip of the iceberg.
Musk, along with his mind belief and intense work ethic, is the one individual in historical past in a position to sort out the leviathan.
Trump is the one president savvy and audacious sufficient to empower him.
Historical past will hail Elon Musk because the real-life superhero he’s, even when narcs on Earth attempt to destroy him.
‘With No Love’ for Meghan
Meghan Markle is simple to not like, however it’s laborious to not really feel sorry for her nowadays.
Numerous individuals are having fun with hate-watching her innocent Netflix providing, “With Love, Meghan” — mocking her as she inexpertly fluffs round a kitchen speaking about herself and looking out fairly.
However as soon as her estranged father Thomas Markle piled on, it stopped being enjoyable.
Think about having a father who assaults you publicly, saying you’ve by no means been “genuine” and that your present is a flop.
We are able to see why she didn’t invite him to her huge royal wedding ceremony to Prince Harry and gained’t discuss to him.
A father ought to have unconditional love for his daughter, it doesn’t matter what.
However Thomas and the remainder of the Markle clan solely wish to denigrate their well-known relative.
No marvel she is an insecure mess.
