Keaton：我认为埃隆·马斯克对特朗普政府的效率计划感到失望，因为他发现官僚主义和政治阻力比他预期的要大得多。他最初承诺大幅削减政府开支，但最终未能实现这些目标，这让他感到沮丧。此外，他对特朗普政府的一些政策，如增加国防预算和未能兑现政治捐款承诺感到不满。总的来说，我认为埃隆·马斯克对华盛顿的政治环境感到幻灭，并决定将精力重新集中在自己的公司上。 Kurt：我同意Keaton的观点，埃隆·马斯克对特朗普政府的幻灭是显而易见的。我认为他最初对DOGE计划抱有很高的期望，但很快意识到，由于官僚主义和政治阻力，很难实现大幅削减开支的目标。此外，我认为埃隆·马斯克对特朗普政府的一些政策，如增加国防预算和未能兑现政治捐款承诺感到不满。总的来说，我认为埃隆·马斯克对华盛顿的政治环境感到幻灭，并决定将精力重新集中在自己的公司上。我认为埃隆·马斯克对政治的参与可能损害了他的声誉，但他可能也意识到，他无法在华盛顿取得他最初希望的成就。

Shownotes Transcript

Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk is leaving the Trump administration after leading a tumultuous efficiency drive, during which he upended several federal agencies but ultimately failed to deliver the generational savings he had sought.

During a press conference with President Trump Friday, Musk pledged that despite his departure the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) would continue its work toward cutting a trillion dollars out of the federal budget

Guest host Keaton Weiss and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how DOGE never came close to cutting the promised level of government funding, mainly because Musk and his acolytes refused to follow through on his promise to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse at the Pentagon.

Plus segments on Joe Biden’s bizarre threat of violence against CNN’s Jake Tapper and Israel’s radical ramping up of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
