Drugs or narcissism, Trump, Musk outcome no different
Callous firings. Weird insults. Rejection of empathy. Flip-flopping on decisions. This isn’t normal.

Elon Musk admits — brags of — using ketamine recreationally, frequently. The man supervising a post-adolescent team of tech nerds is canceling people and programs without applying anything close to cost-benefit analysis, firing thousands of government workers via boilerplate emails. The man claiming he’s uncovered massive fraud, without producing a single example, shows all the signs of ketamine abuse.
Quoting (Atlantic: tinyurl.com/keta4u): “Frequent, heavy recreational use — say, several times a week — has been linked to cognitive effects that last beyond the high, including impaired memory, delusional thinking, superstitious beliefs, and a sense of specialness and importance. …” Like barging into world politics, planning to colonize Mars, taking a chainsaw to U.S. government. And calling Sen. Mark Kelly, R-Az., a traitor for supporting Ukraine. If, in his chemically addled brain, Musk thinks he’s finding “waste, fraud and abuse,” he’s not. It’s irrational, wholesale firings followed by serial re-hirings when the essential nature of the employees is realized.
Waste, fraud, and abuse exist in the federal government. In Donald Trump’s administration, it’s everywhere. His golfing weekends waste millions of taxpayer dollars each time he takes one.
