A-Hole in a K-Hole: Musk Throws an Epic Self-Pity Party About Everyone Being Mean to Him [View all]

Musk Throws an Epic Self-Pity Party About Everyone Being Mean to Him

https://www.thedailybeast.com/musk-throws-an-epic-self-pity-party-about-everyone-being-mean-to-him/

After calling out President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” for undermining the work of his so-called Department of Government Efficiency—which Trump tasked with culling thousands of workers from the federal government—the Tesla billionaire is also claiming that his task force is being unfairly blamed for the failings of others.

“DOGE is just becoming the whipping boy for everything,” Musk told The Washington Post. “So, like, something bad would happen anywhere, and we would get blamed for it even if we had nothing to do with it.”

“People were burning Teslas,” Musk told the Post. “Why would you do that? That’s really uncool.”

“The federal bureaucracy situation is much worse than I realized,” he said. “I thought there were problems, but it sure is an uphill battle trying to improve things in D.C., to say the least.”
