Elon Musk has started a rebellion in the Trump cabinet. The face-eating leopards are starting to devour each other.
This Trump and Musk insanity and incompetence will eventually collapse upon itself. Trump and MAGA are not "owning the libs"....they are owning themselves.
The great Eugene Robinson from the Washington Post. --
How unhinged and irresponsible is Elon Musk? So much that even President Donald Trump’s newly confirmed and MAGA-certified Cabinet members are pushing back.
Musk’s email blast on Saturday to 2.3 million federal workers — ordering each to submit by Monday “approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week,” with failure to respond constituting the employee’s resignation — was nothing but an exercise in contempt. And in many agencies, it was promptly countermanded.
Employees at the Defense Department, under Secretary Pete Hegseth, were told to ignore the government-wide email from the Office of Personnel Management, now being run by Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service minions. Workers at the State Department under Secretary Marco Rubio were also told to pay it no mind. So were staffers at the nation’s spy agencies under Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard; those at the Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Kristi L. Noem; and those at the FBI, which is part of the Justice Department under Attorney General Pam Bondi.
At some other agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services under Robert F. Kennedy Jr., many workers were told by their supervisors to wait for further guidance. In other words, we’ll let you know what’s going on when we find out.
Thus begins the inevitable power struggle at the court of Mad King Donald, between his various ministers of state and his billionaire Lord High Executioner.
