Donald Trump has threatened to turn the Department of Government Efficiency on his former ‘First Buddy’ Elon Musk.
The president suggested he may use the department Musk once headed to strip away the billionaire’s government subsidies to decimate his business empire, as their feud hit galactic new heights.
Trump issued the threat in response to Musk’s public protest over the ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill,’ in which he pledged to launch his own political party if the bill succeeds.
‘Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social early Tuesday.
‘It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one.’
He then turned the screws on Musk, suggesting his time benefitting from the U.S. government could be over and that the South African native could be forced to return to his homeland.
‘Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!’
Long-time Trump ally Steve Bannon also ripped Musk for criticizing the president’s signature legislation.
It is possible Musk has been poisoned or transmogrified by energy weapons or destabilized by some other deliberate method. There are many groups who would do that to him.
It’s also possible he was a Trojan time-bomb from the outset.
X has become terrible since his flap with Trump, which happened around the same time X’s algorithms were changed to yield more shallow, cartoonish feeds.
It’s also possible Musk has Promethean fantasies, or Icarian ones and rose so high he had to fall.
Of these possibilities, the two that are more serious are: 1) he has been poisoned or 2) he was himself a plant, a poison pill from the beginning. Both options suggest a clandestine group working nefariously behind the scenes to control Musk through the carrot or the stick.
This is how elites operate. They do this to maintain control, and even want the public to see it and know it. It serves as a warning.
Where does Trump stand in this? No way to be sure but he is still better than any other option I can see. ABN
June 30 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is weighing cutting off funds to hospitals that it says provide gender-related treatments for children and teenagers, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
The reported deliberations come after the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services sent a letter, opens new tab in May to a number of hospitals performing “pediatric sex trait modification procedures,” outlining what it said were concerns over quality standards and profits related to the procedures.
This has already ended. Depending on what happens to the vid, her briefing begins around 14:50 min. ABN
If an infantry company commander had concerns about the mental or physical fitness of one of his platoon leaders, he could ask a military doctor to evaluate him and report his findings to the commander. The doctor couldn’t assert a doctor/patient privilege or medical confidentiality rules because the fitness of military officers to perform their duties is vital to the effectiveness of the unit. That’s why there’s no doctor/patient privilege in either federal law or military law.
But what if the one with questionable mental or physical abilities is not a platoon leader but the commander-in-chief? Can the doctor refuse to disclose the president’s medical condition? Are the national security implications of the president’s fitness for duty less important than a platoon leader’s? That’s the question that is headed to a showdown between Dr. Kevin O’Connor, former President Joe Biden’s White House doctor, and Rep. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
The US system is based on ‘enlightened self-interest’, not bald ‘self-interest’. A system like ours demands a fundamentally moral population that largely agrees with basic Rawlsian morality — don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do to you. Our system works best within that framework, as that is what allows individual freedom and creativity to flourish. Almost all of that has been lost, inundated with too many migrants who have have no idea and corroded by too many groups who are entirely selfish. ABN
He was pushed to the brink when his NASA nominee, billionaire payments entrepreneur Jared Isaacman, was axed by Trump in a late-night Truth Social post.
Until then, Musk’s criticisms of the president had been confined to relatively measured arguments against the deficit.
…Trump was handed the dossier on Isaacman just moments before a televised send-off for Musk in the Oval Office.
The president tempered his rage through the farewell but when the press were gone, he confronted the SpaceX boss.
He began reading some of the donations aloud, shaking his head.
‘This is not good,’ Trump told him.
The world’s richest man begged the world’s most powerful to reconsider.
But the president, by now growing suspicious of the deficit hawk DOGE chief, wouldn’t hear it.
‘I don’t care, this guy is gone,’ Trump said.
…Trump pointedly addressed the decision during an Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz last Thursday as Musk’s attacks on X spiraled out of control.
‘I didn’t think it was appropriate,’ Trump told reporters. ‘He happened to be a Democrat, like, totally Democrat. And I say, you know, look, we won. We get certain privileges. And one of the privileges is we don’t have to appoint a Democrat. NASA is very important.’
Sounds legit and story is a good read. ABN
