It’s truly unfortunate that Elon Musk decided to start a cafeteria food fight this week—because the timing couldn’t be worse, the target couldn’t be less deserving, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Elon Musk, the man who helped reinvigorate the American dream through Tesla, put satellites in the sky with SpaceX, restored free speech to Twitter, and even (somewhat awkwardly) helped steer the cultural conversation back to reality—has accomplished what few billionaires ever do: he’s earned the respect of everyday Americans. He’s been courageous, even patriotic at times, and a huge asset to our country.
But all that makes this week's unprovoked spat with President Trump all the more baffling and disappointing.
After having played a quiet but substantial role in helping Trump’s re-election efforts, and with his leadership on everything from reusable rockets to the digital town square, Musk has created a legacy that could have been celebrated for decades. But this week, it wasn’t reusable rockets or revolutionary cars that were trending—it was memes about Musk and Trump going through a “gay breakup,” JD Vance being dragged into a “bro-vorce,” and who gets custody of Junior’s retweets.
All while the most dangerous political scandal of our lifetime is unfolding right behind the curtain.
Because while America was distracted by Elon’s drama and Trump’s clapbacks, the real story—the actual bombshell—was buried.
This week we learned that President Trump has launched a full-scale investigation into the Biden presidency. Why? Because evidence now suggests that Joe Biden, while in cognitive decline, did not actually sign or approve the vast majority of executive actions that were issued under his name. According to the White House memorandum, over 1,200 official actions were rubber-stamped using an autopen, a mechanical device that replicates the president’s signature without requiring his awareness or consent.

The only pardon that Joe Biden actually signed by hand?
The one that involved his son.
So let’s recap: the only document Biden may have personally reviewed was the pardon of a family member in legal peril. Everything else—the border chaos, energy strangulation, economic insanity, and foreign policy blunders—was effectively executed by anonymous operatives hiding behind a robotic pen.
That’s not just negligence. That’s not just poor leadership.
That’s treason.
We’re looking at the potential unraveling of a shadow presidency—an unelected, unaccountable group of staffers and insiders making the decisions for a figurehead who barely knew where he was. This wasn’t merely “the adults in the room” guiding policy—it was a coup carried out in khakis and lanyards.
And yet instead of locking arms to expose this historic abuse of power, Elon Musk decided to throw a Twitter tantrum over federal subsidies and defense contracts.
He accused the Trump administration of betrayal, invoked Epstein conspiracies, and threatened to dismantle portions of SpaceX’s Dragon capsule program—before hastily walking it back once backlash began to mount.
The whole spectacle reeked of ego. Musk is not used to hearing “no,” especially not from people he’s helped in the past. But this wasn’t about personal favors. It was about principle.
Trump was elected to fight the deep rot in our institutions. The fact that he’s now investigating the largest case of administrative fraud in modern American history—one that threatens the very legitimacy of Biden’s presidency—is proof of that mission.
But Musk’s meltdown, bizarre and petty as it was, has drowned out the discussion that needs to happen. It’s given lazy media personalities the excuse they needed to avoid the real story. Why talk about a constitutional crisis when you can make jokes about who’s sleeping on the couch in the “MAGA divorce”?
And for those of us trying to preserve a nation—not just an app, not just a rocket, not just a moment of internet glory—it’s beyond frustrating.
We simply can’t afford this distraction. Not now.
President Trump—imperfect, brash, but undeniably focused—just shepherded the “big, beautiful bill” through Congress. It’s not flawless, but it’s a major win for Americans who want lower taxes, secure borders, a sane energy policy, and some long overdue transparency. And instead of celebrating progress, Musk tried to blindside the man who made it happen.
Which brings me to a final, heartfelt plea:
Elon—stop. You’ve done great things. You’ve changed industries, altered conversations, and stood up for truth when few others would. But this isn’t the moment to wage war against the man leading the charge to restore constitutional sanity. If you have concerns about policy, bring them in good faith. If you disagree with strategy, say so respectfully. But scorched-earth ego battles over hurt feelings and subsidies? That’s beneath you—and it’s beneath the moment we’re living in.
This country needs every honest voice, every good-faith actor, and every ounce of American ingenuity focused on cleaning out the corruption that has festered in the halls of power. The scandal unfolding right now isn’t about two billionaires having a spat—it’s about a government that operated in total darkness, behind the back of its people.
The cafeteria food fight is over.
It’s time to put down the pudding cups and pick up the torch.
