Rafael: He stole your personal data, destroyed 1000s of lives, but chant "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" to Musk

Ted Cruz Begs Americans to Stop Being So Nasty to Elon Musk

https://www.thedailybeast.com/ted-cruz-begs-americans-to-stop-being-so-nasty-to-elon-musk/

Sen. Ted Cruz used a Fox News interview to act as a human shield for Elon Musk, demanding Americans get down and kiss the billionaire’s feet for his DOGE work.

Musk has called time on his stint at the Trump administration, with his 130-day “special government employee” status elapsing on May 30. His time at Trump’s side was tumultuous, with Tesla caught up in the pushback against his cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency.

Cruz appears shocked by the backlash, telling Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Wednesday evening that Americans should be expressing deep gratitude to Musk and chanting “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

The left’s reaction, he said, was somewhat different. “It shows what utter hypocrites they are,” he told the host.

Even Pam Bondi saying Trump saved 500,000,000 lives or whatever the hell that number was pales in the presence of this one.

Life after Trump looks scary without Eloon’s propaganda and money.

They think one of two things.

1). In November 2026, voters will be SO GRATEFUL for the carnage brought about by Trump and Musk that they will vote in a RED WAVE, or

2). Musk fired thousands of government employees, Trump's tariffs have already driven prices up for consumers, Trump's budget bill will end Medicaid and SNAP for millions so that Musk can get a tax cut, and voters will vote in a RED WAVE

It all ends in a red wave fantasy.
