Elon Musk worked at breakneck speed over the weekend to wipe out the U.S. Agency for International Development. His allies got access to the Treasury’s payments system. His aides reportedly locked out government employees from their computer systems that hold sensitive data.
And President Donald Trump is OK with it — for now.
Musk’s dizzying takeover of Washington, which has frightened Democrats and some Republicans, has renewed speculation within GOP circles about whether the mutually beneficial relationship between the world’s richest man and the president will eventually implode. Musk’s recent moves also underscore how serious he is about executing his far-reaching plans to reshape the government, flying in the face of critics who argued his so-called Department of Government Efficiency would be a do-nothing blue-ribbon commission.
Trump is broadly aware of and supportive of Musk’s moves to blow up USAID, according to a person close to the president who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. And although he likes the idea of Musk handling “the dirty work” of slashing through the federal bureaucracy, Trump could always change his mind about the situation if there is a political price to pay down the road, the person added.
“He’s fine with Elon being the bad guy,” the person said, noting that Trump typically pays close attention to news coverage but may care little himself about the details of whether USAID would be folded into the State Department or shuttered altogether. “But things can always change.”

“ Cut WELFARE”
After 20 million illegals have been deported, we will see how much in government funds they were consuming.
I wonder how many Demoncrat and RINO politicians will become new members of the Black Eye Club when their criminal supporters find out the flow of funds has stopped?
Notuce the language. Elon Musk steamrolls, remakes Federal government.
Could they be trying to get Trump jealous????
USAID has been known for years as the most corrupt agency of a corrupt government. It was the seedbed of the war in Ukraine. It laundered hundreds of millions through left-leaning foundations and ngo’s. As much as it actually helped the people of the world, it misused far more in politically corrupt manipulations. Established by EO, it should be dissolved by EO and whatever legitimate functions it has can be reassigned to some office in the State Department..
What is best in life?
To watch your enemies crush themselves and hurl their own remains over the cliff in confusion and disarray.
The winning SHALL continue, and the stat sheets will be filled with Demoncrat Own Goals.
Thanks for that the numbers are mind boggling this is inevitable then.
“My saintly teacher wife plays Valet each morning to the stoned welfare queens driving Mercedes and Lexus who are so fat they can’t get out of their own pot skunky cars to help their chunk of lard offspring by different absent sperm donors get out of their federally required car seats!!!”
Thanks for the morning laugh. Well said, and both sad and funny.
The stories never end. I could keep up that riff all morning long.
For example: I pay for breakfast for these kids THREE TIMES!
1. SNAP card to mom to buy the kids breakfast. But mom is too stoned at 7 a.m., so she delivers the kid to school late at 9:30 a.m., where:
2. FREE BREAKFAST is provided by the school district long after the bell rings to feed these unfed hungry children before they wander into class about 10:30. But even then when they miss the school breakfast because mom had a really good bender,
3. I BUY BREAKFAST and send it with my wife who can’t tolerate the starving child’s misbehavior at 11 a.m.
The crazy never ends!
HIs takeover of Twitter was good training.
Trump has said repeatedly that everything Musk is doing has to be approved. So he’s not just running wild.
He should do a conference call on Twitter explaining everything he has done so far. Good PR and set the narrative.
Agree Trump and Musk two great minds with experience in successful business operations putting a end to the elected pick pockets and deep state finance company.
If WeThePeople (WTP) people did nothing about it, the DS (satanic) view would be that the guilt lies with WTP because of our inactivity and not living up to our commitment to stop the sins/crimes against the Laws we claim to hold dear.
It is only right that WTP stop these crimes.
