I just re-read a blog post from a few months back, in which I write that the constant vilification of Donald Trump was excessive and unnecessary.
Well, I think he's grown into it. Or is it a case of 'give a dog a bad name'? Difficult to say.
I think one thing that could be happening is that Trump has set Musk to do a lot of high-profile damage, and once the consequences start to hurt his electorate, Trump could step in and rein in his hound. That could earn him a lot of gratitude, for curbing the disasters that Trump himself created in the first place. Meanwhile, Musk is destroying a lot of the evidence the Biden administration had against Musk: workplace danger, environmental problems, etc, etc.
The damage done to the Washington bureaucracy is really considerable. The records are like gold for the officials who need to enforce laws. They've destroyed evidence against banks for their wrongdoings against credit-card customers. How are charges to be brought against credit-card issuers (banks)? Elizabeth Warren had worked hard to get this watch dog agency in place. Banks hate her like the very devil; now credit card companies will worship Musk. Sad.
A little unnecessary vilification would be quite all right, as I see it now.
