Something broke in Elon Musk the day he spoke at the Qatar Economic Forum. I saw it in his eyes—fatigue, yes, but more than that: betrayal. He wasn’t just tired of politics. He was done. Musk described a government system that was, in his view, paralyzed by its own bureaucracy. He warned that elected officials have “very little power relative to the bureaucracy” and emphasized that DOGE posed “the first threat to the bureaucracy”—a threat it clearly would not tolerate.
As head of the Department of Government Efficiency—DOGE—Musk brought ideas, urgency, and solutions to a bloated system choking on red tape. Created by executive order, DOGE was never meant to play by the old rules. It slashed billions in waste, downsized useless departments, and showed Americans—finally—that it was possible to reform Washington.
This should have been the GOP’s finest hour. A gift, wrapped in gold and delivered by the most visionary entrepreneur of our time.
Instead, they flinched. They blinked. They betrayed him.
The Ridicule of Reformers
Elon Musk didn’t just face institutional resistance—he became the target of an unhinged cultural hatred that mirrors the Trump Derangement Syndrome we’ve seen since 2015. Call it Tesla Man Bad.
Tesla dealerships were vandalized. Tesla drivers were harassed. The media turned his success into a liability. Why? Because Musk dared to interfere with the corrupt gravy train. “They basically want to kill me because I’m stopping their fraud,” Musk said. “And they want to hurt Tesla because we’re stopping this terrible waste and corruption in the government.”
This wasn’t just political—it was personal. The bureaucratic machine retaliated, not with arguments, but with sabotage. And just when he needed allies in Washington, the GOP—his supposed political home—abandoned him.
And that’s not all. Musk revealed that DOGE isn’t even a command center—it’s an advisory board. “We only operate if the government is willing to take our advice,” he said. He wasn’t issuing decrees. He was offering solutions. And they were ignored. Why? Because saving billions would mean ending the fraud, waste, and dysfunction that the swamp thrives on.
Elon Gave Them a Future. They Gave Him the Knife.
The GOP likes to talk tough about draining the swamp. But when the rubber hit the road, many of them protected their turf, their donors, and their bureaucratic backers. DOGE didn’t need a congressional vote to operate—but when it came time to support its reforms, too many so-called “conservatives” cowered.
They claimed to be worried about “transparency” and “oversight.” But what they really feared was irrelevance. Musk showed the American people what real reform looked like—and in doing so, made a mockery of the career class.
He didn’t play the DC game. So they punished him for it.
The GOP Traitors Who Opposed DOGE
Below is a list of Republican members of Congress who criticized, obstructed, or undercut DOGE. Some did it in public. Others whispered their disdain behind closed doors. But the effect was the same: sabotage.
- Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) – Called a DOGE internal memo “absurd” and accused it of intimidation.
- Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) – Said she was “very concerned” about DOGE firings, calling them “a big problem.”
- Rep. Richard McCormick (R-Ga.) – Urged Musk to be more “compassionate” after backlash from laid-off federal workers.
- Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-Wisc.) – Complained that lawmakers weren’t properly briefed on DOGE decisions.
- Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.) – Objected to cuts affecting agriculture and conservation, calling them “rough patches.”
- Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.) – Said DOGE should use a “scalpel not a sledgehammer,” undercutting the urgency of reform.
- Rep. John Curtis (R-Utah) – Labeled DOGE “reckless and rash,” defending bureaucrats over taxpayers.
- Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) – Warned against cuts to national parks, asking for a slower approach.
- Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) – Argued that DOGE lacked sufficient political support to succeed, signaling surrender.
Conclusion: The Uniparty Revealed
These Republicans joined Democrats and legacy bureaucrats in sabotaging DOGE—not because it was wrong, but because it worked. DOGE threatened their control. It broke the illusion that government is too complicated to fix. And for that, Elon Musk had to be politically assassinated.
But make no mistake: the people see through it. DOGE may have been stopped, but the idea behind it—leaner government, real accountability, direct problem-solving—can’t be killed. Musk lit a fire, and millions of Americans saw what’s possible.The GOP, meanwhile, exposed itself for what it has become: a wing of the Uniparty. Timid. Compromised. Useless.
And let’s not forget: if Elon Musk hadn’t purchased Twitter, we might already be living under full digital tyranny. That acquisition didn’t just unban a few accounts—it unshackled a civilization. The regime’s grip on the narrative cracked. Satire returned. Dissent returned. Truth returned. Western civilization may owe its continued existence to that single act of defiance.
In this dark chapter of American history, when we stood on the brink of reform, they chose comfort over courage. They chose bureaucracy over boldness.
They chose betrayal.

The often-cited “Deep State”, while nobody knows who exactly is pulling which strings, is the seat of power in America, and Europe as well, seems to be to cleverly pull the strings of a deeply corrupt and amoral bureaucratic apparatus that instinctively, without needing to be told, defends itself and devours every opposition.
It is institutionalized stupidity and a danger to democracy and freedom. Europe is even further down that drain.
Musk is a visionary. Visionaries are needed, but they are also fools. They must be, otherwise they wouldn’t try. Think of Columbus. He calculated the distance to India wrong by getting the radius of Earth quite wrong. He would have died on the ocean if not for America – so he kinda got lucky, but the result was the New World, nevertheless. Musks underestimated the stubbornness and evil of this bureaucratic complex, now he and his companies are getting mobbed.
Musk wants mankind to become multiplanetary and his rockets expose that NASA is not lacking funding, it is no longer dreaming. They have no Wernher von Braun who wants to land on the moon anymore. They are now a government agency in the worst sense of the word, an inefficient bureaucracy.
NASA is using contractors, among them Space X, heavily these days. Braun always opposed that. He wanted to have all that done by NASA, only that would guarantee success. 8 of 10 first Saturn stages were built at Marshall Space Flight Center, where Braun already developed Redstone and Jupiter missiles. Innovation has literally left NASA.
It is quite heart breaking to see a visionary realize that not even with maximum effort could he overcome institutionalized corruption.
It was exposed, but how many charges have been filed so far? USAID is down, that was it so far.
Milei repeatedly got lectured by socialist priests by how he would cause all kinds of poverty, distress, pain, etc…
The same story as in America, basically usually a young mother who had a dream job that was so difficult that she had really trouble making 3-4 bullet points what she did that week, got fired.
They basically robbed taxpayer money for nonsense jobs, but exposing that and ending it was … wrong?
The only more ridiculous, but from their perspective logical thing is Democrats fighting tooth and nail for the rights of gang members and rapists to stay in America. They are actively fighting for their voters… or rather, let me correct myself, for their votes. They don’t matter, after all, but their votes are needed. Just like the problems up to murder and rape they cause are not really of concern in this regard.
It is not only the USA, Europe and particularly Germany show that the government needs ever more money and uses it badly, nevertheless.
Most mass media have become government propagandists, usually founded directly or indirectly by the government. Western Civilization is strangling itself with red tape.
