Elonâs DOGE Side Quest: $277M Pork & Unfixable Debt LA Saga
Elon Musk vanished from DC since May after a 130-day cameo as White House's DOGE czarâyes, DOGE, not DOGMAâwhere he tried to save Uncle Samâs wallet. At the All-In Summit in LA, Musk called his govt stint a 'hell of a side quest,' which sounds about right if side quests cost $277 million backing Trump and other GOP gladiators. He dropped hot takes about the national debt with interest payments eating the War Dept budget, warning AI better save us or 'we are toast.' Despite promising $150 billion cuts by 2026, no receipts were provided, because politics. Post-Trump election drama included public X/Twitter spats calling the signature tax bill a 'MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK'âsounds less like legislation, more like a bad BBQ. Trump eventually softened, calling Musk '80% super genius, 20% some problems,' like a Tesla with occasional autopilot freakouts.

Elonâs DC disappearance since May proves even billionaires ghost government like bad Tinder datesâexpensive, loud, no follow-through, and always promising to save $1 trillion with DOGE magic.
Can you imagine managing a âDOGE officeâ during a national debt crisis and calling it a side quest? Itâs like hiring Wile E. Coyote to fix your houseâit sounds crazy, but kinda thrilling to watch fail.
