Let’s pause for a moment to talk about the dogs (and DOGEs) that are no longer barking. When I last wrote about the terminal throes of Elon Musk‘s service with the Trump administration, I was already taking victory laps long before the final doom of my ancient prophecy came true. Boy, did I ever see this one coming:
A day after I wrote that, all hell broke loose. Trump mentioned at a press conference that he was “very disappointed,” and that Elon was feeling sore about the loss of EV subsidies that would have benefited Tesla. Musk responded by floating the idea of a third party to challenge Trump, the Democrats, and any future Big Beautiful Bills. Trump then, in turn, accused Elon of being weird and clingy, saying he was “wearing thin.” Trump twisted the knife by suggesting that a great way to save money would be to cancel Tesla subsidies altogether.
