Imagine, for a moment, it’s exactly four years ago. President Biden has been in office long enough to compile an approval rating that’s hanging out in the low 60s—better than Trump’s current numbers, mind you. Meanwhile, Trump is slinking out of the White House with a dismal 38% approval. Fast forward to today, and it’s hard not to shake your head at how much has changed.
Now picture this: Biden hops on live TV, ready to deliver a whopper of an announcement. He could recount how “there’s been too much corruption” and lament the “government waste” run rampant over the last four decades. Inflation, he would say, is going to send Americans to the grocery store with their wallets empty, potentially facing $7 for a dozen eggs. Riveting stuff, right? This would have been Biden’s chance to rally the troops against government inefficiency and show the world he’s ready to clean up the mess left by the last administration.
And then comes the kicker. Biden would wax poetic about teaming up with none other than Elon Musk, claiming that the tech mogul would fly through federal agency records drop-kicking waste like a collegiate soccer player. Musk, the guy chasing after Mars and making electric cars, is suddenly hero material for Democrats who love to rant against billionaires… unless they’re bailing them out for being too “innovative.” You would think the mainstream media of 2021 would have thrown him a parade and dubbed them both the dynamic duo of fiscal responsibility, blissfully ignoring that Musk’s wealth largely comes from government-subsidized projects.
Fast forward to the present, and turn the tables. Today, the left is seeing this same situation unfold, but with the horrendously transparent flair of hypocrisy. Musk, along with his posse of young tech-savvy whizzes—affectionately known as the DOGE army—are in hot pursuit of uncovering billions in government fraud. And just like that, the left has turned into a pack of howling banshees, terrified their sacred feeding grounds are under siege. Meanwhile, many Americans find this spectacle of the world’s richest man sifting through the federal cookie jar to be an exhilarating show.
However, thanks to the media’s wily tactics of vilification, Musk finds himself in the middle of a political circus act. To the radical left, he’s practically the Devil himself, while moderates view him more as a billionaire just chasing the next great opportunity. Even conservatives are standing around scratching their heads, suspicious of Musk’s true allegiance—was it just a moment of convenience, or is he really on board with the conservative cause long-term?

As the whirlwind of political egos swirls around him, Musk sits on shaky ground. The left is chomping at the bit to drag him into the woodchipper of media smear campaigns. An electric vehicle company at the center of his wealth means he’s perched precariously over a liberal abyss, especially when Republicans largely refuse to consider owning a Tesla. While Musk’s visions for the future seem ambitious—like a recent attempt to snag ChatGPT for a ludicrous price—his success hinges on navigating a landscape littered with leftist landmines.
In this bizarre game of political charades, Musk’s mission is one of the utmost importance to conservatives, especially now that he’s voluntarily diving into the deep end of financial accountability. If the DOGE initiative can unearth the shady dealings behind the curtain, Democrats will soon find themselves on the defensive—a notoriously unenviable position. The right must rally this movement, proudly declaring that the financial sins of government need to be uncovered, and it’s about time we start talking about “the people’s money” and where it’s truly going.
