Feud ERUPTS as Elon ATTACKS Republicans in surprise move

Looks like we've got Republicans in. disarray as Elon Musk took to Twitter. today to attack his own party. Writing, "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it. anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-. fililled congressional spending bill is. a disgusting abomination. Shame on those. who voted for it. You know you did. wrong. You know it." And then followed. up with another tweet. It will massively. increase the already gigantic budget. deficit to $2.5 trillion and burden. American citizens with crushingly. unsustainable debt. Now, I have two. thoughts here that may seem in conflict. with each other, but they're not. The.

first is that Elon Musk is correct. This. bill is massive, outrageous, and an. abomination. The Republicans who voted. for it absolutely know that they did. wrong. It will increase the already. gigantic budget and burden American. citizens with crushingly unsustainable. debt. All of that is true, and it's all. worthy of being said, and anyone who. claims they're a fiscal conservative who. votes for this bill has exposed. themselves as a huge hypocrite. But. here's the second part. Elon Musk is. just as guilty as everyone else for the. fact that our government is exploding.

our deficit. The guy came into. government as a special government. employee for the express purpose of. cutting $2 trillion in waste, fraud, and. abuse. But we set up Doge. Yes. How much. do you think we can rip out of this. wasted $6.5 trillion Harris Biden. budget? Well, I I think we we could do. at least two trillion. Yeah. Yes. Two trillion. And then the goalpost. moved. And how much do you think you've.

achieved so far? Our goal is to reduce. the deficit by a trillion dollars. Um so. it from a nominal deficit of 2 trillion. to try to cut the deficit in half to 1. trillion. Um or looked at it in total. federal spending to drop the federal. spending from 7 trillion to 6 trillion. And then the goalpost moved again. Um well, thanks to uh your fantastic. leadership, this amazing cabinet and the. very talented Doge team, I'm excited to. announce that uh we we we anticipate.

savings in FY26 from reduction of waste. and fraud by $150 billion. But hey, you know what? Let's give Elon. the benefit of the doubt. Notwithstanding the shifting goalpost as. it relates to savings, if your calling. is cutting spending and you've got cart. blanch to do it, what agency do you. think you start with? probably the one. that's failed seven audits in a row, right? And yet Elon didn't touch the. Pentagon. He instead went after USAD, which accounts for all of 1/ half of 1%. of the budget, the agency that's.

responsible for delivering clean food. and water and HIV prevention to the. impoverished across the world. But that. agency was investigating Elon's. Starlink. And so they got gutted. He. then went after the Consumer Financial. Protection Bureau, the CFPB, whose only. job is to protect consumers from. predatory financial institutions, and. returned $21 billion thus far to. defrauded customers. But that agency was. fielding 300 complaints about Tesla and. would have had oversight into X's.

payment processing. And so they got. gutted. In fact, every single agency. that Elon went after, USAD, CFPB, Department of Labor, NLRB, EPA, DOT, USDA, just so happened to be performing. oversight into him or SpaceX or Starlink. or Tesla. And all of those agencies were. in some fashion gutted. In total, Elon. promised $2 trillion in cuts. That was. whittleled down to $18 billion, which is. not even 1% of the promised cuts. And.

that's because Elon wasn't actually. interested in cutting waste, fraud, and. abuse. He was interested in gutting the. agencies regulating him and his business. interests. That's what this was. It was. self-deing with virtuous window. dressing, which is to say nothing of the. fact that he also managed to nab some. real juicy government contracts like the. $560 million for SpaceX since January. 2025, the $5.9 billion Pentagon contract. for the National Security Space Launch. Program, the 38.8 8 million NASA.

contract awarded in February. The White. House is now using Starlink. The FAA is. exploring a deal with Starlink to help. modernize air traffic control. And you. know the golden dome nonsense that. Donald Trump is selling over and over. again. Yeah. Guess who's the front. runner in a bid for that project to the. tune of $25 billion? That would be Elon. SpaceX. Most of that funding comes from. the Pentagon, which might explain why. Despite this crusade against waste, fraud, and abuse, the only agency that. emerged unscathed was the one agency.

that can't pass an audit for its life, the Pentagon. The poster child for. waste, fraud, and abuse didn't get. touched by the commission purportedly. committed to rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. Again, this has nothing to do. with saving money for the country and. everything to do with saving money for. Elon Musk. So when he comes online and. virtue signals about waste fraud and. abuse and exploding the deficit, dude's. got no leg to stand on. He had every. resource of the federal government made. available to him. He had Trump's full.

blessing. He had a completely chicken. impotent Congress that wasn't. willing to lift a finger to push back on. him. If he really wanted to cut all of. that purported waste, he could have done. it. Instead, he gutted a bunch of. essential agencies that protect. consumers and keep the impoverished. alive across the world. He fired a bunch. of veterans and left his own cash cows. completely intact. All because he wanted. to consolidate more money, more wealth, more power, more influence for himself.

Elon Musk is a greedy kleptocrat who's. got blood on his hands. If he wants to. complain about pork, about self-deing, about outofc control spending, he might. want to consult a mirror. And that's a. point that Jessica Tarlov made on Fox. here. Let's also talk about the clear. failure of Doge based on their own set. goals. We started at two trillion, then. we moved to 1 trillion. Now we're at 160. billion. But yeah, for now, right? It. keeps adding up. Well, it is a problem. You want to always compare. I didn't see.

Congress doing that. If you wanted, which you always do, to. compare this to private sector. standards. If you hired McKenzie to come. in and to cut two trillion, then they. said, "Oh, we'll get you 1 billion." and. they say we'll get you 160 billion. You'd say you're not doing a very good. job. And also maybe you were spreading. lies about what's actually going on in. the federal government a day so far. But. the real story of Doge is that Elon Musk. has 38 billion in government contracts, has not had a penny of his money touched. while he's going around cutting other.

people's contracts. And there was a new. congressional report out this week that. found that he was up for 2.37 billion in. potential fines across 11 agencies. And. what has he been doing? He has been. cutting the people who are investigating. him. If that doesn't smell like. corruption, I don't know what does. In. fact, the only person who seems not to. understand what a sham Doge was is Elon. Musk himself, considering even Donald. Trump is reportedly skeptical about the. point of the whole commission. According. to the Wall Street Journal, President.

Trump recently posed an evocative. question to his adviserss about. billionaire Elon Musk's promise to slash. $1 trillion in government spending. Quote, "Was it all bullshit?" Trump. asked, according to administration. officials, wondering whether Musk could. have ever come close to the cuts he. promised to carry out through the. Department of Government Efficiency. So. Musk will undoubtedly continue. grandstanding about waste, fraud, and. abuse and our bloated budgets and. irresponsible Republican budget bills, but his hands are the dirtiest of all. I. don't know if the alleged ketamine is. clouding his memory, but let's not.

forget that Elon had the opportunity to. help on an issue that he himself called. essential, and instead he opted to help. himself. [Music].
