The Feud - Three Initial Takeaways
Friends, what a day. Got three initial takeaways for you:
Musk is doing a lot of damage to Trump at a time when he was already weakened and struggling. All of this makes Trump less “strong” and his regime even more of a farce and clown show.
We should welcome Musk’s help in killing/undermining Trump’s terrible budget bill. It is a bad bill, and it will be good for the country if it fails.
Musk is an historically dangerous man, a serial criminal, and he and his entire DOGE crew should be prosecuted for their illegal and destructive dismantling of the US government and theft of our private data. His vaporizing of USAID will lead to the death of millions of the poorest people on Earth, and there are can be no redemption for Musk for any of this, ever. His unprecedented undermining of American hard and soft power - and now a sitting American President - cannot be flushed down the memory hole no matter how many flacks he hires and politicians he buys.
For more on why we must do everything we can to challenge Trump’s ruinous economic strategy - including killing the rancid reconciliation bill - be sure to check out today’s post and video and my terrific new discussion with health care expert Charles Gaba.
Paid subscribers, let me know what you think about this extraordinary day.

Musk is a very bad man, but even a bad blind hog roots out a truffle every now and again. If he can help tank the revolting reconciliation bill that will do further damage to this country, great - but I don’t trust him for one single second.
They’re beginning to reap what they’ve sown. Nothing like watching two malignant narcissists destroy one another, like Godzilla and King Kong, or, in this case, Fraudzilla & Ding Dong.
