Anybody being honest would have to admit that Trump's appointees are mostly unqualified.

Furious Musk shoved Trump treasury sec in heated fight after being humiliated

The Tesla CEO announced that his “scheduled time as a Special Government Employee” has come to an end. With DOGE, he was tasked with "rid of fraud and waste" in the federal budget, claiming to have have saved taxpayers $160 billion.

But things may not have been as smooth sailing as the Trump administration likes to admit. Former Chief Strategist Steve Bannon told the DailyMail that, in one argument, Musk became physical with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

He said: “Scott Bessent called him out and said, ‘You promised us a trillion dollars (in cuts), and now you're at like $100 billion, and nobody can find anything, what are you doing?’

“And that's when Elon got physical. It's a sore subject with him. It wasn't an argument, it was a physical confrontation. Elon basically shoved him.”

Bannon added that the fight ended with Bessent and Musk being removed from the Oval Office. President Donald Trump reportedly took Bessent’s side in the matter.

Though both Musk and the Trump administration have claimed that Musk’s departure was scheduled, it comes as the billionaire openly disagreed with the president over his Big, Beautiful Bill.

Speaking to CBS Sunday Morning, Musk said: "I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing."

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated the bill is likely to add $3.8 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years. Musk slammed the size of the bill and how much it's likely to add to the already steep national debt.


"I think a bill can be big, or it can be beautiful, but I don't know if it can be both. My personal opinion," the tech mogul said.

$66 million dollars ripped off in New York from SNAP by gov't employees. Man, good thing that the View is telling us there is no waste, fraud, or abuse in Gov't, otherwise I might be worried. /s

I can guarantee you that no one including Whoopi Goldberg, anyone on the left, any Democrat, or any socialist or communist for that matter would not want to see these people caught and put away.

That's probably the tiniest of fraud that is actually occuring in our government.

When you use terms like "no one", it makes you look fucking retarded.

More than normal.

I guarantee you I can name a dozen people right now that do not want to see these people caught and put away.

I submitted that to the FBI tip line. You are a known drinker and drug user, last I heard in the DC area, and radically anti Trump. Good luck.

He has a desk? Who knew? I always imagined him tapping out on his Obama phone or maybe sitting on the couch with an android laptop his mom got him "because he is a smart boy" or something.
