Is the Trump-Musk melodrama for real?
By S. David Sultzer
Trump and Musk have had a very public—and insanely highly melodramatic—break-up that resembles nothing so much as a WWE script. My suspicion is that it is all for public consumption.
President Trump began his presidency with Elon Musk as his strongest and, arguably, most important supporter. After his victory, Trump named Musk to head the Department of Government Efficiency with the mission to root out government fraud, waste, abuse, and inefficiency. The left contested that vociferously--not surprising given that the fraud, waste, and abuse of government is what funds the left. For Democrats, it is their economic foundation.
Musk performed beyond all expectations. He exposed USAID and Democrats’ corrupt self-dealing, particularly through NGO’s. He exposed incredible inefficiencies—to the point of fraud—in the Treasury Department, at Social Security, and at government retirement processing. He was key to canceling a bevy of contracts and remaking several departments. Now, when by operation of law Musk must leave DOGE, he does so after having gotten the ball rolling on many actual improvements in the efficiency of government.
