Musk-Trump feud highlights that DC will never change on its own, even with people showing up with the best of intentions. Instead, it will continue pushing the country deeper into debt until something breaks.

Today, I’m diving into the recent public spat between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, and what it portends for our economy and our country. Spoiler alert: Nothing good.
It all started when Elon Musk publicly criticized a massive congressional spending bill, calling it a “disgusting abomination” due to its wasteful spending. This was on June 3rd, and his tweet got 19 million views. Musk’s frustration was palpable, especially after enduring media attacks for his fiscal conservatism.
Trump responded by suggesting Musk’s criticism was personal, tied to potential cuts in EV mandates that could affect Tesla. However, Musk had consistently supported the elimination of EV subsidies, contradicting Trump’s claim. The situation escalated when Musk dug up old tweets from Trump criticizing government spending, highlighting Trump’s apparent hypocrisy.
