Let’s face it, no one expected Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ to be perfect. But for Elon Musk to adopt the intransigent position that the work of government should stop in its tracks in pursuit of perfection is a manifest nonsense. Especially when considering OMB chief Russ Vought’s explanation of how the bill helps reduce the deficit.
Musk has a habit of failing to see the wood for the trees. He’s been a long-standing backer of China, which my website has reported on for years. He supported DeSantis, not Trump, in the primary. He recently tried to depose Brexit leader Nigel Farage (it went badly for Musk), and just a few weeks ago lashed out at the architect of Trump’s trade tariffs – Dr. Peter Navarro.
It’s a pretty predictable and sad ending for Musk’s short foray with the Maga right
Now, he’s set his sights on the President, tweeting this afternoon about how Trump is in the Epstein Files, as if this were new information.
