Musk did very well indeed under Biden. The IRA subsidized his factories, consumer tax rebates juiced car sales, and satellite launches puffed SpaceX.

And then he put all of his accumulated political capital, and nearly $300 million in cash to propel Trump/GOP to victory...just so they could throw him under the bus and strip him of all the goodies the Dems had showered on him. 20/20 hindsight notwithstanding, how could he have been so fricking stupid?

I've assumed Musk's tirades are as he begins to see his comically over-valued company starting to circle the toilet bowl. But is he also starting to realize that he has been set up to be the fall guy for the failure of all the government services that he wrecked during his Doge rampage? All those senators and reps he's threatening with primary challenges are quietly sharpening their knives for the hearings next year (or this fall) when they will be shocked shocked at what this maniac did to their beloved Social Security Administration
