According to the Daily Beast, Elon Musk's 130 days at the White House led to a dismal report card, highlighting missteps in applying his innovative strategies to government. His push for efficiency cuts backfired, leaving him more villain than visionary. While his SpaceX efforts shone, his political ventures faltered, along with his reputation.

A #Nashville restaurant owned by #MAGA #musician #KidRock reportedly closed over the weekend to avoid the #Trump administration’s #ICE raids.
Kid Rock’s #BigAssHonkyTonkRockNRollSteakhouse in #Tennessee shuttered after employees unauthorized to work in the U.S. failed to show up for work on Saturday and those that had turned up were told any #UndocumentedWorkers should leave the premises to avoid being caught by ICE.

A #WhiteHouse plot to axe international broadcasters #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty has been foiled after presidential advisor #KariLake was forced to rescind a letter cancelling the network’s grants.
It comes just a day after a judge temporarily halted an attempt by the #Trump administration to shut down the station, claiming it would “violate the #Constitution and federal laws.”

"James Carville Makes Bold Prediction About When Trump’s White House Will ‘Collapse’”, #DailyBeast
"James Carville predicted that President Donald Trump’s White House team will 'collapse' in less than a month.”
I like Carville and think he’s a smart and mostly correct political strategist. I think that collapse will come. I’ve previously argued that we, as a country, are like an addict that needs to hit rock bottom before anything can change. I think rock bottom is more likely later in the year, but I hope he’s right.
Musk and DOGE will collapse first and maybe that’s where the domino effect in the administration collapse starts.

One of #ElonMusk’s #DepartmentOfGovernmentEfficiency goons resigned Thursday amid growing inquiries over his links to a #SocialMedia account pushing #Racism and #Eugenics theories.
#MarkoElez, 25, was identified earlier this week as the engineer who was granted access to the #Treasury’s “top-secret” payment system, which controlled #SocialSecurity and tax distributions.

@GottaLaff A thought for the dilemma:
'The Wire' Creator: I Wasn’t Going to Cancel WaPo, Then I Read Bezos
From the #DailyBeast: He added: “I cancelled. I wasn’t going to do it. I probably shouldn’t, &certainly, if this technobrat oligarch ever releases his grip on what needs to be an independent newsroom & editorial board, indifferent to the financial positions of its publisher, then I’ll return. But this kind of abuse of a public trust by a publisher is unacceptable.”
We cannot deny the racism, misogyny and double standard as it pertains to Democrat politicians running for office When we can all agree that no "Republican Nazis women like Haley would Ever be treated like a second class citizen.

The co-manager of #DonaldTrump’s #WhiteHouse campaign has raked in $22 million and counting from the #Republican nominee’s political operation in just two years, the Daily Beast has learned.
#ChrisLaCivita, an influential #GOP operative, reaped a $19 million financial windfall in 2022 when he served as a “strategic consultant” to two Trump-affiliated super #PACs, campaign finance records show.
