Musk should have known he was being used, and that ultimately, he wasn’t going to get much done in Washington. From Joel Bowman at joelbowman.substack.com:
Is the Trump-Musk bromance really over?

(That awkward last cuddle…)
“I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful… but I don’t know if it can be both.”
~Elon Musk on President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill”
Uh, oh… is the bromance over already?
Here’s Captain DOGE himself, Elon Musk, with a polite but firm “It’s not me…it’s you,” note for President Donald Trump.

Time to shake hands, wish each other the best… and start seeing other people.
Yes, dear reader… Messrs. Musk and Trump, they had some good times together, shared some fond memories, and had their ups and downs. But there comes a time in every relationship when serious conversations must be had.
Who’s going to earn the money… and who’s going to hold the purse strings? Who’ll do the cooking… and who’ll take out the trash? And of course, what is the appropriate amount of fraud, waste, and abuse for a late-stage degenerate empire in the 21st Century?
Musk knew that the CPUSA (D) wing of the UNI would prosecute him.
We’ll take the $170 billion and the rest can come from welfare sugartits.
Look up the photo of EBT landwhales flipping the bird over back to work requirements.
I would keep a bolt out bag by the door for when the CPUSA (D) comes back in this Weimar Kabuki if I were Elon.
Thanks for your efforts and there is nothing wrong with thinking BIG.
