Sadly, while finding all of the corruption and fraud, no one seems to be being held accountable for their treasonous thefts... What is the point if these individuals are not arrested and charged with their crimes? Sorry that you suffered so much loss and retribution Elon, for what you embarked on, only to watch these criminals walk away...
Yes. This is one of the core issues. No-one's been arrested or (seemingly) held to account for all the fraud that DOGE unearthed.
And DOGE was only just getting started. Elon was personally committed to the project night and day. And despite the important discoveries about USAID and Social Security fraud, it never got to grips with a bunch of even more important issues, because all the roadblocks went up to impede it.
Trump, very probably under pressure from the Deep State, stopped supporting it.
I suspect that Trump never expected DOGE would make so many quick inroads into the deep-rooted DC corruption. And soon after all that was exposed, it's 100% clear DOGE suddenly had the door slammed in its face and
was not permitted to go anywhere near auditing the Pentagon — or Fort Knox. (Remember that??)
The last straw for Elon was the 'Big Beautiful Bill'. He's 100% justified in his anger about that. He saw that this would bring down the US economy, would add more trillions to the debt — and Must never wanted that to happen. It went 100% against what DOGE was tasked to accomplish.
Elon's criticism of the bill sent Trump over the edge as well — because politically he
has to get it through. Trump knew it was flawed, and Elon told the truth. But Trump is in a corner economically as well as politically. So he had to attack Musk in retaliation.
Then when Trump lied (yes, he did), saying that Musk was fully familiar with the bill way in advance, and he was just upset about the EV issue, Musk was even more enraged.
Musk felt very betrayed by Trump's maneuvering. Musk has never been a politician, but Trump has to be — which means making compromises, looking after donors, being aware of the Deep State, taking cheap shots at others which are unjustified, and distorting truths. (Yes, Trump does all that, as do all politicians.)
The Russians, when asked to comment on all this, politely said that it was none of their concern (which it's not). But they'll be quietly noting that this is more evidence of Trump's inability to keep his promises to individuals
*, and his previously stated commitments to goals and projects.
* And don't let's talk about Jared Isaacman's withdrawal as the nominee to head NASA, who Elon naturally fully supported. Isaacman was by far the best person qualified for the job, and Trump had previously posted effusively in his favor. Isaacman's withdrawal was for purely political reasons: nothing at all to do with NASA or the US's future in space — which Elon also deeply cares about.
For Elon, all this is about pesonal integrity. I really feel pretty sure about this. :flower:
