An MSNBC host was forced to make this shocking confession about Elon Musk
Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) swept into Washington with a mandate from President Trump to slash spending to save taxpayers trillions of dollars.
Musk and DOGE unearthing the eye-popping corruption in government contracts the Left used to secretly fund their political movement put the Democrat Party on defense.
But now an MSNBC host was forced to make this shocking confession about Elon Musk.
The Left offers begrudging praise for Musk
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough spent four years calling Donald Trump a racist, fascist, and a threat to democracy.
But as the DOGE team goes public with the absurd exploitation of taxpayer money by the bureaucracy, even Scarborough had to pay compliments to Elon Musk.
Today, the Department of Education terminated 29 DEI training grants totaling $101mm.
One sought to train teachers to “help students understand / interrogate the complex histories involved in oppression, and help students recognize areas of privilege and power on an individual…

Scarborough, a former Republican Congressman who critics contend sold out to appease MSNBC’s left-wing audience, said that independents and even reasonable Democrats would have to admit DOGE’s mission was a righteous one.
“In theory, this would be wonderful. In theory, this is wonderful. Whether you’re talking about the Pentagon, whether you’re talking about the VA, whether you’re talking about social security, anybody that has tried to deal with the IRS and how antiquated, and I may say for Republicans, understaffed!” Scarborough stated.
Scarborough told viewers that cutting spending is the only way to tackle the debt – and by extension the inflation – crisis.
“All these agencies are, they’re not going to tackle the $36 trillion debt by doing all the things they want to do and cutting some employees here and there. So, yeah, this is, I think, a concept that many Americans would support. A lot of independents would support that,” Scarborough added.
Scarborough threw in the usual leftist complaints about whether what Musk and DOGE were doing was Constitutional – it clearly is – to remind the audience he was still on their team.
“The question, though, is: is it being done legally? Is it being done constitutionally? And is it being done transparently?” Scarborough asked.
But Scarborough praised Musk for standing before reporters in the Oval Office and answering questions about DOGE and its work.
“I think Elon Musk getting before reporters, I actually think as much as possible, since his people are running through these government agencies, I think that is extraordinarily important,” Scarborough continued.
Trump’s approval rating sits at 53 percent – according to a CBS poll – because Americans view Trump as implementing common sense solutions.
And the spending Musk’s DOGE crew uncovered is indefensible.
In the Oval Office press conference, Musk asked why American taxpayers were on the hook for $50 million worth of condoms in Mozambique.
“So — I’m not sure we should be sending $50 million worth of condoms anywhere, frankly. I’m not sure that’s something Americans would be really excited about. That’s really an enormous number of condoms when you think about it. But if it went to Mozambique instead of Gaza, it’s not as bad but still, why are we doing that?” Musk wondered.
Most Americans would agree that is a waste of money.
DOGE cobbled together hundreds of billions of dollars in savings just by identifying useless and inexplicable wastes of taxpayer money like $50 million for condoms in Mozambique.
Even MSNBC hosts had to come around on that point.
