President Trump Views Teslas with Elon Musk at The White House – March 11, 2025.
After Elon Musk and DOGE exposed so much waste and abuse of American taxpayers’ money in government, he went through a messy split with President Trump over the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that didn’t put the cuts DOGE had made into law. Former congressman and presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul wonders if Trump and Musk can make up. He writes:
In the end it was Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” that broke it all apart.
The US House served up a massive funding bill that, as usual, blew up the national debt with more spending and promised that sometime down the road spending cuts would kick in and we would start saving money. We’ve seen this movie many times before.
In a post seen by over a hundred million people on his social media platform X, Elon Musk finally could hold his tongue no longer. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” he wrote. Within hours this break escalated seemingly beyond the point of no return and the Trump/Musk split was seemingly finalized.
Musk was no-doubt frustrated that despite all of the work he and his team did to uncover government waste, he hit a brick wall in a Washington that recoils from any attempt to shrink its size and level of interference in our lives.
Can Trump and Musk “make up” and find a way to work together in the future? After the smoke has cleared we can only hope for a return to the principles of DOGE and the idea that current levels of spending and debt are unsustainable. Surely both men can agree on that.
