From Chainsaw to Exit: How Elon Musk and Trump’s 'Efficiency' Department Rewrote the Rules for Billionaires – At Our Expense
A Lawyer's Warning to America

A Fox in the Henhouse of Government
I’ve spent my career as a lawyer fighting for fairness and accountability. Now I’m speaking to you not in legalese, but as a fellow American alarmed by what I see happening in Washington.
In January 2025, President Donald Trump created a new agency with a quirky name, the Department of Government Efficiency, or “DOGE.” The idea was supposed to be simple: cut red tape and save taxpayer money. But here’s the kicker: Trump handed the keys of this powerful new department to Elon Musk, the wealthiest man on Earth and head of companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter). It might sound like a joke (even the name “DOGE” nods to an internet meme), but I assure you this is deadly serious.
Putting Elon Musk in charge of “government efficiency” was like putting a fox in charge of the henhouse. Musk was and is deeply entangled in multiple businesses that are regulated by the government or depend on government contracts. Yet he was empowered to rewrite the rules, slash budgets, and even fire the very watchdogs overseeing his companies. As a lawyer, I cannot overstate how outrageous this is, it’s a brazen conflict of interest that undermines the rule of law and puts all of us at risk.
In the months since DOGE launched, Musk and Trump claimed they’re rooting out “waste and fraud.” What they really did is gut the safeguards that protect everyday people – workers, consumers, and communities – from corporate abuse. And unsurprisingly, Elon Musk’s own companies were and are some of the biggest beneficiaries of this crusade. Let’s break down how this billionaire’s partnership with the White House is quietly rewriting the rules in his favor, and why you should be very concerned.
Musk’s Companies Were in the Crosshairs – Until He Took Charge
When Elon Musk stood next to President Trump on Inauguration Day, his businesses were facing a slew of legal and regulatory troubles. By one Senate report’s count, Musk and his companies had 65 pending or potential actions by 11 different federal agencies as of January 20, 2025. These ranged from safety investigations to discrimination lawsuits, with an estimated $2.37 billion in potential fines and penalties at stake for Musk’s empire. That’s right, $2.37 billion of exposure hanging over a man now tasked with “cutting government costs.”
It doesn’t take a cynic to see the problem: Musk suddenly had the means to make many of those costly problems disappear. And disturbingly, that’s exactly what happened. The Trump administration, guided by Musk’s DOGE, has halted or moved to dismiss investigations against dozens of companies, including Musk’s own.
One nonpartisan watchdog group counted 89 corporate probes that have been scaled back or dropped. Those include cases targeting Tesla, SpaceX and other Musk ventures. This isn’t efficiency; it’s favoritism. Musk effectively used the powers of government to insulate himself from accountability.
Consider a few concrete examples:
Tesla’s Autopilot and Safety Issues: Tesla has been under federal scrutiny for years over accidents involving its “Autopilot” self-driving feature. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the government’s auto safety regulator, had opened at least six investigations into Tesla’s driver-assistance systems and dozens of crashes. NHTSA’s work has real teeth: it forced Tesla to issue around 50 safety recalls from 2021 to 2024, including fixes to Autopilot software and even problems like car bumpers falling off. For Tesla, NHTSA has been a thorn in the side, often compelling the company to address dangerous defects.
What’s happened since Musk came to power? In February, Musk’s hand-picked DOGE team showed up at NHTSA’s offices and promptly fired a chunk of the staff – reportedly around 4% of the agency, including many experts in autonomous vehicle safety. The very people investigating Tesla’s technology were shown the door. Even one senior Tesla manager, seeing this purge, privately called it “sheer madness – we should be lobbying to add people to NHTSA,” not fire them.
But Musk had other ideas. By installing a Trump-friendly NHTSA administrator and cutting the agency’s budget, Musk can ensure there’s far less scrutiny of Tesla’s self-driving cars going forward. The threat of public safety hearings and forced recalls could simply evaporate. And indeed, industry watchers fear that under Musk’s influence, NHTSA will shy away from tough action, leaving drivers and pedestrians at greater risk from unresolved defects.
Dropped Investigations: Musk’s new status in Washington short-circuited inquiries against his companies. A former federal prosecutor put it bluntly: “DOJ is not going to be prosecuting Elon Musk.” In fact, the Trump administration has already pushed out or fired numerous Justice Department officials, including dozens of career prosecutors, and replaced them with loyalists far less likely to pursue white-collar cases against allies of the President.
With Musk whispering in Trump’s ear, ongoing investigations into Tesla were and will continue to be quietly shelved. Justice Department leadership changed overnight, Attorney General Merrick Garland is gone, and in his place is a Trump loyalist (indeed, Trump appointed his former impeachment lawyer to run DOJ).
Just weeks into the new term, DOJ dropped a major lawsuit it had filed against SpaceX, which accused Musk’s rocket company of discriminating against job applicants who were refugees or asylees. That case, which could have cost SpaceX millions and forced changes in hiring, vanished with the stroke of a pen. Musk’s company is off the hook.
The SEC has similarly been neutered. Right before leaving, the SEC’s previous chair announced a complaint against Musk for allegedly failing to disclose his huge 2022 Twitter stock purchases on time (a delay that saved Musk an estimated $150 million at other investors’ expense). But Musk never had much respect for the SEC, and now he might not have to worry about it at all.
The new administration pushed out the SEC’s leadership and even offered buyouts to rank-and-file SEC employees, paying veteran regulators to leave their jobs. The enforcement division of the SEC is being gutted, precisely when someone like Musk has a laundry list of potential securities-law conflicts (from his tweets moving Tesla’s stock price, to that secret stock accumulation of Twitter shares). A weakened SEC means Musk can operate with impunity in the markets, confident that regulators won’t be on his back.
Labor and Discrimination Cases: If you work for Elon Musk, you might have celebrated when, under the previous administration, labor authorities finally started taking action against some of Musk’s companies for unfair practices. For example, Tesla faced 12 separate unfair labor practice cases alleging the company spied on or retaliated against pro-union workers, and that Musk himself threatened employees against unionizing. SpaceX, too, was charged with illegally firing eight employees who had the audacity to write an open letter criticizing Musk’s offensive tweets.
And then there’s the horrific tales from Tesla’s Fremont factory, where Black employees say they were subjected to rampant racist harassment, slurs on the factory floor, even swastikas and nooses found on site. In 2023 the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sued Tesla over this racist abuse, seeking justice and compensation for the workers.
These were all live, active cases. But Musk’s ascent has threw them into doubt. In late January, President Trump fired the top officials of both the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board), which protects workers’ rights, and the EEOC, which safeguards against discrimination. These agencies are meant to be independent, led by bipartisan commissions with fixed terms. Trump broke with decades of precedent by ousting the heads of these agencies simply because they were pursuing issues that powerful employers (like Musk) didn’t like.
In fact, a federal judge had to step in to temporarily reverse the firing of the NLRB’s chair, noting that even the President cannot just purge officials in revenge for doing their jobs – the judge wrote, “An American President is not a king.” But legal battles aside, the message was sent. The new appointees at these agencies know what’s expected: go easy on Musk’s companies.
Indeed, one of the first things on the chopping block was the Tesla racial discrimination case. The two Democratic EEOC commissioners and the agency’s general counsel were fired en masse, throwing the Tesla lawsuit’s future into uncertainty. Who will carry that case forward now? Will a Trump-appointed, Musk-approved EEOC aggressively fight for those Black workers? Don’t hold your breath.
The same goes for the union-related complaints against Tesla and SpaceX. Under Biden, the NLRB was pushing those cases. Under Trump (with Musk’s influence), the NLRB’s composition has flipped. It wouldn’t surprise me if those complaints get quietly settled for pennies or dismissed outright. Musk himself tweeted in the past that he would “pay nothing” and “never concede” in such cases, now he might not have to concede anything, because the referees have been sidelined.
To make matters worse, Musk’s DOGE henchmen have allegedly been snooping around inside the very agencies meant to hold him accountable. Whistleblowers from inside the NLRB reported that DOGE operatives gained improper access to the agency’s computer systems, even copying sensitive files like lists of ongoing cases and employee information, then mysteriously deleting data. Imagine that: data about investigations into Tesla and SpaceX labor practices may have been siphoned away by a team reporting directly to Musk.
It’s the ultimate insider move, knowing exactly what evidence the government has, and perhaps sabotaging it. If true, this is an appalling breach of integrity, and it undermines any remaining trust that these agencies can act independently. Musk and Trump have effectively intimidated and infiltrated the watchdogs that protect workers.
Environmental and Safety Oversight: Musk’s companies often wrap themselves in a green, futuristic image, electric cars, reusable rockets, and so on. But they’re not above causing environmental damage or skirting safety rules.
For instance, Tesla was caught illegally disposing of hazardous waste (paint and production chemicals) from its facilities a few years back, resulting in a $1.5 million fine in California. And SpaceX’s launch site in Texas has blasted tons of debris into delicate wetlands and caused worrying levels of pollution in the area. In fact, SpaceX had to pay a penalty to the EPA this January for dumping untreated rocket cooling water into protected wetlands. These are exactly the kinds of violations that require vigilant oversight from agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other environmental regulators.
So what happened? As part of Trump and Musk’s “government trimming,” the EPA’s independent watchdog – its Inspector General – was fired, along with at least 16 other agency inspectors general in one fell swoop. Inspectors general are internal auditors meant to catch waste, fraud, and abuse; firing them en masse is basically kneecapping the oversight inside each agency. The EPA, now under leadership more aligned with Trump’s deregulatory zeal, has shown no appetite to aggressively police corporate polluters.
When environmentalists raised alarms about SpaceX’s request to vastly increase rocket launches in Texas (citing the significant harm previous launches caused to wildlife), do you think the administration listened? Unlikely, Musk has publicly derided environmental rules that get in his way. He even convinced President Trump to put a tech billionaire buddy of his in charge of NASA – yes, NASA, the space agency – with instructions to streamline projects and maybe even retire the International Space Station early so SpaceX can focus on Mars.
If that sounds absurd, consider that NASA’s new proposed administrator, pending Senate approval, is Jared Isaacman, a private astronaut who invests in SpaceX. This is a direct conflict: NASA is one of SpaceX’s biggest customers, and now a SpaceX insider may run it. Musk has essentially planted loyalists across the federal government to ensure his ventures face as few obstacles as possible, whether it’s environmental reviews, safety certifications, or competition for contracts.
Meanwhile, lesser-known but crucial agencies have also been axed or muzzled. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), created to protect us from predatory banks and scams, was gutted right as Musk announced plans to roll out a new payments feature on his social media platform X. The CFPB director was fired in February, and Trump installed an ally who swiftly dropped several enforcement cases against big banks.
Musk had openly cheered for the CFPB’s demise (he posted “Delete CFPB”), calling it redundant. Now, with the agency effectively neutralized, Musk can dive into the online payments business with far less oversight.
Think about that: a platform run by Musk will soon handle your money transfers, competing with services like Zelle or Venmo, but the chief federal agency that would normally police such services has pulled back. If something goes wrong – say, fraud on the platform or misuse of consumer data – will regulators be there to protect you? Or will Musk’s friends in high places look the other way? The pattern suggests the latter.
Even the Federal Election Commission (FEC) hasn’t been spared. Musk spent an eye-popping $200+ million to get Trump re-elected and fund GOP causes in 2024, becoming America’s single largest political donor. Some of his political tactics raised eyebrows, one Musk-linked PAC offered to give out $1 million a day to random voters who filled out a pro-constitution pledge, a scheme critics likened to buying support. A watchdog complaint about this was filed with the FEC.
So what did Trump do? He fired the FEC chair, a respected official who protested the illegal termination. With the commission now in chaos, that campaign finance complaint is likely to stall. Once again, Musk’s actions live in a gray zone that, under normal circumstances, would warrant investigation, but under DOGE’s regime, the cops have been told to stand down.
Conflicts of Interest Everywhere You Look
Elon Musk promised he would “recuse himself” if any government decision directly affected his interests. President Trump assured the public, “He won’t be involved” in matters related to his businesses.
Even though Musk has finally walked away from DOGE, let me translate that from political spin to plain English: Musk did not meaningfully distanced himself at all. In fact, he’s entwined his businesses with government more than ever. He did not divest a single share of Tesla or SpaceX. He continued to lead or heavily influence all his companies while simultaneously serving as a top White House advisor. This means every step he took in DOGE was potentially self-dealing. And the examples bear this out:
Government contracts steering to Musk: Musk’s companies thrive on federal contracts, NASA launches, defense communications, electric vehicle subsidies, you name it. To give a sense, Musk’s enterprises have received an estimated $38 billion in government contracts, subsidies, and tax breaks over the past two decades, and SpaceX alone currently holds about $10 billion in active federal contracts. As de facto head of DOGE, Musk swayed over budget priorities and agency reorganization.
Is it any surprise that SpaceX’s satellite internet service, Starlink, suddenly showed up installed at the White House? Yes, DOGE saw fit to put a Starlink terminal on the White House grounds (they claimed it was donated). Soon after, other agencies started subscribing to Starlink for their communication needs.
Every one of those subscriptions is money in Musk’s pocket and visibility for his product, all while he was calling the shots on federal tech policy. When confronted about this blatant conflict, the White House shrugged it off as a legal donation, but it’s hard to imagine any other private citizen being allowed to outfit the West Wing with their own company’s equipment.
Musk’s vendettas become policy: Musk has very public feuds with regulators, he’s mocked the SEC as “bastards,” blasted NHTSA’s recall terminology as “anachronistic,” and bristled at FAA launch rules and environmental permits. Now those personal grudges are effectively becoming U.S. policy.
When Musk didn’t like paying a fine to the FAA, he took to Twitter (or “X”) to call the agency “broken” and in need of “radical reform.” On cue, the FAA administrator resigned on inauguration day. Musk essentially headhunted a top regulator out of a job over a $633,000 fine.
Likewise, Musk has long derided the idea of “unelected bureaucrats” having power; in DOGE’s Wall Street Journal manifesto, he and his co-lead (venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy) argued that faceless agencies undermine democracy. So once in power, they moved swiftly to fire agency chiefs and even dismantle entire offices that they found inconvenient. Did those offices play vital roles in, say, advising NASA on safety or ensuring financial companies don’t cheat people? Sure – but they got in Musk’s way, so good riddance.
No transparency, no checks: One of the scariest parts of all this is how Musk and Trump have tried to shroud DOGE’s actions in secrecy. President Trump went so far as to declare DOGE exempt from federal transparency laws, meaning it wouldn’t have to respond to public records requests. Why is this OK?
Musk absurdly insisted DOGE was “transparent,” but independent journalists and Congress tell a different story, they’ve been stonewalled at every turn. It’s only through whistleblowers and courageous reporters that we’ve learned about DOGE’s more sinister moves (like copying government databases or redefining “fraud” to justify mass layoffs).
Even Congress is being kept in the dark: bipartisan committees have sounded the alarm that DOGE might be operating “outside the bounds of U.S. law”, possibly even triggering a constitutional crisis by concentrating unchecked power in an unelected group (with Musk at the helm). A federal judge noted Musk is likely functioning as a government official without Senate confirmation, which could violate the Constitution’s Appointments Clause. The whole arrangement is on shaky legal ground, but Musk and Trump are barreling forward, daring anyone to stop them.
In my legal opinion, this is beyond a conflict of interest – it’s a hostile takeover of the government by corporate interests. Musk was not and is not a public servant; he’s a businessman whose first duty is to his companies’ bottom lines. Yet he was allowed to wield public power to advance private ends. That’s fundamentally anti-democratic. It turns the notion of government “of the people, by the people, for the people” on its head – instead we get government by and for one powerful person and his enterprises.
People Over Profits – Why This Matters to You
All these details about agencies and regulations can feel abstract. You might be thinking, “Okay, Musk gamed the system, but how does that affect me personally?”
Here’s how: the dismantling of oversight and accountability doesn’t just shield billionaires from consequences; it puts real people in harm’s way. This isn’t about paperwork and procedures, it’s about your safety on the road, your rights at work, your community’s environment, and even our nation’s security and moral compass.
Think of families who lost loved ones in Tesla crashes linked to Autopilot failures. They have been waiting for NHTSA and other authorities to get answers and force fixes so that no one else dies from the same mistakes. If Musk succeeded in muzzling NHTSA, and even though Musk is now gone from DOGE, those families might never see justice done, and other families could face the same tragedies because needed safety improvements might be swept under the rug.
When government regulators can’t do their job, the only avenue left is expensive, drawn-out court cases, and not everyone has the means to sue a trillion-dollar company. Musk effectively tilted the playing field so that consumers and victims have nowhere to turn.
Consider the Tesla factory workers who endured vile racism or the SpaceX employees fired for speaking out. They were counting on agencies like the EEOC and NLRB to stand up for them, because that’s what these government bodies exist to do, protect everyday people from abuse by the powerful. By crippling those agencies, Musk and Trump are telling those workers, “Your pain is less important than Elon’s profit.” They’re sending a chilling message to every American employee: If your boss is rich enough or connected enough, you might just have to suffer in silence, because the government won’t back you up.
That should outrage anyone who believes in basic fairness. We fought for decades to establish labor laws and civil rights laws. To see them tossed aside so casually is not only disrespectful, it’s dangerous. It opens the door to more discrimination, more unsafe workplaces, and more exploitation, because the deterrents are being removed.
How about communities near SpaceX’s operations? Down in Texas, residents around Boca Chica have literally had shrapnel rain down on their homes and nature reserves scorched by rocket tests. Environmental reviews and permit limits are how we balance innovation with public safety. But Musk’s DOGE is working to eliminate environmental “red tape”, which in practice means cutting out community input and fast-tracking projects no matter the local impact.
One of DOGE’s proud announcements was terminating an array of government grants, including those aimed at sustainability and climate resilience. To Musk, these might just look like dollar signs to slash, but to communities they mean flood mitigation, clean air programs, or energy assistance that might now vanish.
The irony is thick: Musk, who positions himself as solving climate change with Teslas and solar panels, is also empowering an administration that is ripping out environmental protections and even laying off scientists and experts who tackle pollution and climate issues. The public interest is a distant second to Musk’s interest.
And consider something as fundamental as our national security and democracy. Musk’s companies are integral to space and communications, SpaceX runs military satellite launches and Starlink provides internet to war zones. Normally, someone in Musk’s position would be carefully vetted and kept at arm’s length from policy decisions that could affect their business deals or foreign relations. Instead, Musk is literally in the room helping make those decisions.
Musk even received a special Defense Department briefing on potential conflict with China, even though Tesla’s business relies heavily on China’s market and goodwill. That’s a staggering conflict: if tension escalates, would Musk’s advice be influenced by the fact that a huge chunk of Tesla’s revenue comes from China? Would he be tempted to play mediator to protect his factory there, regardless of U.S. strategic interests? We shouldn’t have to even ask these questions. No private citizen with such entanglements should be privy to war plans. But that is the reality now.
At the same time, Musk’s influence has led to twisted priorities in law enforcement. The Justice Department under his friendlier leadership has seemingly reserved its harshest rhetoric for people who protest against Musk himself. Recently, after a wave of vandalism (acts like minor damage to Tesla charging stations, apparently in anger over Musk-driven federal layoffs), the new Attorney General labeled these vandals “domestic terrorists” and threw the book at them with 20-year felony charges.
Contrast that with how Trump’s DOJ has treated actual violent insurrectionists from the January 6th Capitol attack, many of whom received pardons or commutations. The double standard is jaw-dropping: if you trash Elon’s property, you’re a top-tier threat, but if you attack our democracy… well, maybe you’re a “patriot” gone astray.
This extreme protection of Musk’s interests, even to the point of branding his detractors as terrorists, is the antithesis of neutral justice. It shows how deeply intertwined Musk’s fortunes and the federal government’s power have become, and it signals that government power can be used to silence or punish critics of the regime’s favored billionaire. That is something you might expect in an authoritarian country, not the United States of America.
Calling All Voters: Demand Your Government Back
I raise these points not to vilify Elon Musk’s success or suggest that government can never be made more efficient. Sure, nobody likes bureaucratic waste. And there’s nothing wrong with wanting to streamline processes. But what we’re seeing with DOGE is not a good-faith effort to help government work better for the people. It is a hostile hijacking of the levers of power by a wealthy few.
Musk and Trump have created a smash-and-grab operation, dismantling safeguards and expertise wholesale, under the shiny banner of “efficiency.” And who benefits? They do – Musk especially. Who loses? Ordinary Americans who rely on a government that looks out for them, not just for billionaires.
As a lawyer, I’m deeply concerned that the actions of DOGE are eroding the very principles of accountability and equal justice that our legal system is built on. As a citizen, I’m outraged that our government is being turned into a protection racket for the rich and powerful. But as a voter and someone with hope for our country, I’m also convinced that we, the people, can put a stop to this if we act.
We must call this what it is: corruption and abuse of power. It’s not enough to shrug and say “politics is always messy” or “rich guys always find a way.” That cynicism is exactly what Musk and his allies are counting on, that we’ll tune out and let them get away with it. Don’t let the complexity of the schemes or the flood of news numb you. Focus on the core truth: our government is supposed to serve us, the public. When it instead starts serving one man’s private agenda, we have a serious problem on our hands.
So what can you do? Stay informed and speak up. Just like I’m doing here on my Uncensored Objection Substack.
Support the journalists, whistleblowers, and public interest groups who are digging into DOGE’s deeds and exposing them to sunlight. Share this information with your friends and family, many people have no idea this is happening behind the scenes. When you hear grand claims about “cutting $2 trillion in waste,” ask who really pays the price for those cuts. If something doesn’t sit right, trust that feeling and look closer.
Hold your representatives accountable. Congress – both Democrats and Republicans – needs to feel pressure to assert oversight here. Some in Congress are already sounding alarms, launching investigations and suing to block unlawful firings. They need our backing. Write to your senators and representatives. Demand that they scrutinize DOGE’s activities, demand transparency, and pass laws if needed to clamp down on this runaway department.
Remind them that no one, not even Elon Musk, is above the law or the Constitution. Senators like Richard Blumenthal have issued reports on Musk’s conflicts; members of oversight committees are asking tough questions. Bolster those efforts with your voice and your vote.
And speaking of votes, remember this when election time comes. Democracy is about more than elections, but elections have consequences. In 2024, Musk invested a fortune to influence the outcome. He believed a second Trump term would let him run wild – and events have proven him right. If you disagree with this direction, make sure your vote reflects that. If you’re conservative or libertarian and like some of Trump’s ideas, I urge you to consider: is this what you signed up for? A government captured by one mogul’s whims?
True conservatism values rule of law and level playing fields, not state-sponsored favoritism. And true liberalism values protecting the little guy and our institutions from plutocrats. This isn’t a left vs. right issue, it’s a fundamental American issue. We need leaders in both parties who will put country over any one person’s empire.
Finally, remember the power of the public spotlight. Musk and Trump both hate bad press and public backlash, it’s one of the few things that can shame or pressure them to change course. Peaceful protest, public forums, town halls – use your First Amendment rights to make noise.
The more we talk about the families who might be endangered by a deregulated Tesla, or the workers whose voices are being muzzled, or the precedent this sets for future presidents to collude with wealthy cronies, the harder it becomes for them to justify it. Already we’ve seen Musk bristle at criticism and finally stepping away from DOGE amid his other companies declining in value and other mounting controversies. That’s not nearly enough, stepping down after the damage is done is a coward’s way out, you know, the TACO way out, but it shows that public pressure works. We need more of it.
Let me close by saying this: Government efficiency is a fine goal. But efficiency means nothing if it sacrifices accountability, justice, and human dignity. An efficient machine that tramples people is not a virtue; it’s a nightmare. Our founders built checks and balances for a reason, to prevent concentration of power and protect liberty. What we are seeing with Elon Musk’s involvement in DOGE is the concentration of power in frightening motion. It’s up to us, the people, to bring back the balance.
As a lawyer, I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. As an American, I believe in a government of laws, not of men – and certainly not of one man’s private interests. This isn’t just bureaucrats squabbling in D.C. It’s about who gets protected and who gets left to fend for themselves. It’s about whether we have a government that works for all Americans or one that only bends to billionaires.
I urge you to stay vigilant. Ask the hard questions. Don’t be distracted by the shiny promises of “savings” that never materialize in your pocket. Look at the real costs, to safety, to rights, to democracy itself.

How DOGE Became Trump’s Dangerous Domestic Surveillance Machine — And Why We Must Stop It
I’m Mitch Jackson, and Uncensored Objection is where I speak plainly about what matters most: truth, law, and the survival of our democracy. I don’t sugarcoat. I don’t play nice with gaslighters.

If you’re tired of performative politics and ready for honest, unfiltered commentary rooted in facts, you’ll feel right at home here.
And in a related story, it’s being reported by the New York Times, that Elon Musk used a mix of drugs—including Adderall—and carried a daily pill organizer last year, around the same time he ramped up donations to Donald Trump. When asked about the allegations, Musk interrupted the reporter but didn’t deny the story. So now we’ve got one of the richest men in the world allegedly self-medicating while bankrolling a convicted felon’s political comeback. What could possibly go wrong?
