Musk and Trump Still Agree on One Thing

Far be it from me to judge anyone enjoying the feud between Donald Trump and his benefactor Elon Musk over Trump’s signature legislation, the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act. As it happens, Trump and Musk’s dueling criticisms are each, in their own ways, at least partially valid. According to Axios, among other things, Musk was angry that the bill cuts the electric-vehicle tax credit, which will hurt the bottom line of his electric-car company, Tesla. Yet the one bridge that connects Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush to Donald Trump is slashing public services while showering tax cuts on the rich. Whatever else Trump and Musk may fight about, they are faithful to that.
