  1. From the article: Donald Trump is toxic to everything, including a former close adviser and friend who is now “MAGA roadkill,” a conservative strategist said.

    Rick Wilson, who helped found the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, which is consistently filled with current and former Republicans who oppose the President, commented Wednesday on the “humiliating exile” of richest man Elon Musk.

    “If I’m remembered for nothing else—and there’s a nonzero chance I won’t be—it will be for a single ironclad political law that holds across time, space, and every variable in politics: Everything Trump touches dies,” Wilson wrote. “What started as shorthand for the emotional, legal, and reputational annihilation of Trump’s cronies has metastasized into something bigger and bleaker. It now includes America’s global influence, our economy, our system of government, our rule of law, and the increasingly fragile scaffolding of liberty itself. Even Trump’s most obsequious sycophants—especially them—eventually get the knife. Some in public, many in private.”

    That same concept then came for the richest man in the world, and “first buddy,” Elon Musk, according to Wilson’s analysis.

    “And now, the latest name added to the long, sad ledger of MAGA roadkill is none other than former Co-President and Viceroy of DOGE: Elon Musk,” he said on Wednesday.

  2. The closer anyone is seen as an alternative to a tyrant the less “wiggle room” they will be allowed.

    Letting himself be considered a co-president—and even as a possibility for the top job without sharing it with anyone—doomed Elon.

    Not that there aren’t plenty of other reasons to find him contemptible, but Donald couldn’t afford to have a replacement so readily available.

  3. He also cheapens everything he touches, including the presidency.

  4. Really? The trail of dead bodies from his last administration weren’t indicative enough? These people really do have bird brains.
