President Donald Trump points to electric vehicle subsidies as Musk attacks 'One Big Beautiful Bill'

President Donald Trump warned that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is a "monster that might have to go back and eat Elon," after tech billionaire Elon Musk intensified his attacks on Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill."...

Steve Bannon is right. Elon Musk and the rest of his billionaire tech bros don't belong in MAGA. President Trump should give them all the heave-ho.

“The Republicans are still in disarray,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters Monday.

One amendment on artificial intelligence, however, passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. Senators voted 99-1 early Tuesday to strip a measure that would have prevented US states from regulating AI. That marked a setback for technology companies and Trump allies in Silicon Valley who had pushed for a regulatory pause of the nascent technology.

That's good news. I think President Trump is beginning to realize that these tech m*th*r<deleted> hold working class and middle class Americans in contempt. Time to boot them out!!! Sending Elon back to South Africa sounds good to me.

You do realize that he is part of the billionaire group, and of similar mind as them?

 

The cognitive dissonance is mind-boggling.

President Trump is a heroic exception. He hates all elitists.

The boys are fighting again:

 

“Bannon is going back to prison,” Musk wrote on X, responding to a comment suggesting Bannon wanted the United States government to “nationalize” the billionaire's space technology company. “This time for a long time.”

 

The feud between Musk and Bannon kicked off in June after Bannon called for the Trump administration to launch a probe into Musk’s immigration status, suggesting the South African native may have overstayed his visa in the United States.

 

Bannon has also called for a probe into Musk’s alleged drug use, with The New York Times reporting Musk to have used “ketamine often, sometimes daily, and mixing it with other drugs” back in May.

 

‘Going back to prison:’ Elon Musk wants Steve Bannon jailed after SpaceX threat

Without Musk's work in space projects, the US loses to China. Would you rather rely on Boeing and Nasa. Both are incompetent. Space is the one area where Musk does well. SpaceX and Starlink versus Trump University, Trump Wine, Trump casinos, Trump steaks, Trump cologne, and Trump reality TV. Not difficult to see which one has more value.
