Summary
Elon Musk clashed with Trump’s cabinet in a heated White House meeting over Doge’s aggressive cost-cutting.
Transport Secretary Sean Duffy was enraged by Musk’s attempts to cut air traffic controllers despite a national shortage, accusing him of unjustified layoffs. Duffy presented a spreadsheet showing Musk was not telling the truth, prompting Trump to order MIT graduates be hired instead.
Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins criticized hospital cuts, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio also confronted Musk.
Trump backed his cabinet, emphasizing a “scalpel rather than hatchet” approach to staffing reductions.
I have zero doubt that a large part of the reason that Trump appointed Musk in the first place was so that he could later throw him under the bus.
While I agree the orangefuck is 100% capable of this, i doubt seriously his ability to apply this much forethought to anything.
Forethought? No, it’s just his nature as a con man.
Hitler threw so many of his allies that helped him to power he invented a car company so he could profit off the roads the corpses made.
Hitler was way smarter.
