While the billionaire illegally tolerates with our federal agencies, no one seems to think about his store.

Proponents call Tesla Moscow Moscow CEO technology “genius“Tesla was a real innovation, producing an electric car in 2008, which doubled as a luxurious status symbol. Although it is now devoted to the reduction of state waste, fraud and abuse, Musk does not say much about how much federal money entered Tesla and other enterprises, interplanery. Washington Post assessment He took a total of $ 38 billion from the federal government for these three enterprises.
Now that it manages the efficiency of the Donald Trump government (although it does not), Musk is clearly thinking in the work of federal agencies and invests in his business much less energy. It may not pay for it. The Musk X Social Media Social Media, previously Twitter, was offline most of Monday with a “massive cyberattack”. On Monday alone, Tesla shares lost a third of their value – 12 percent. SpaceX launched another rocket that exploded, this time throwing out dangerous debris and causing South Florida airports to close. Who wants Elon Musk responsible for staffing the Federal Aviation Agency? Not me.
It seems that few Americans believe that Musk is already a genius. His approval ratings are underwater and Surveys show Musk, and Dage invading into federal agencies, unpopular. This is not just a problem of Musk; Republicans Congress have give up on relatives of town hallsclaiming that George Soros pays the Democrats to participate. (He is not.)
Can it add to a business mask?
Movement #teslatakedown may be The brightest anti-trump opposition In the country and extends to other countries. (Outside Toulouse, FranceThe Tesla Dealer Center was set on fire a week ago.) Here, on Manhattan, on Saturday, hundreds of people “occupied” the Tesla salon and closed it. Six were arrested. Almost exclusively non -violent protests reach from Boston to Pasaden, Charlotte to Seattle. Tesla’s liberal owners complained that they were defined as a nation-adjacent one when they bought a revolutionary electric car because of climate change. Some sell their cars; Celebrities such as Sharyl Varona donate them to charity.
Musk also reportedly faced a serious Reaction in Trump’s office. Secretary of State Mark Rubio, last time he saw on the sofa of the Oval Office when his soul sucked out of Trump during a brutal verbal attack on the Ukrainian president of the Bladimir Zelensky, obviously cut off in Moscow for interference with the USAID budget. Musk cut back, saying Rubio that he was “good on TV”, damn from weak praise. Transport Secretary Sean Dafi accused Musk of trying to postpone the air traffic control during the historical acceleration of the plane crash – none of the Trump’s feet, but it will be if Musk and others continue to cut FAA. Musk denied what it does, what it is worth.
Trump, like mafia don, listened to his different HoodAnd then he arranged them. he said Musk cannot directly dismiss his staff, but also defended his boy. After the meeting, in truth, Trump called for more accurate staff cuts: “we say” scalpel “, not” ax “.
Of course, Musk broke the network saw at a political action conference. It’s his mo. It does not show signs to get to the scalpel. He wants to reduce as much as possible before his time when the White House temporary employee ends in about 80 days. We will see if it destroys its own companies before destroying the federal government.
The hard and chaotic second term Donald Trump is just beginning. In the first month, Trump’s office and his Like -Elon Musk (or this is the opposite?) Proved that nothing is safe from sacrifice at the altar without checking strength and wealth.
