After listening to Elon Musk complain at length about “unelected” influences on American politics, MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace cut in to say, “Irony died while he was talking.”
Wallace pointed out, “the only unelected party in any of this is Elon Musk.” The tech billionaire has taken drastic action including accessing highly confidential government payment systems in treasury and issuing orders for mass resignations, as head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), all in a bid to rid the government of “corruption.”
In the address that aired live on Tuesday, President Donald Trump handed the floor over to Musk, who stood next to him in the Oval Office and spoke at great length about his mission to “weed out the corruption,” including removing judges who oppose the administration.
