The dynamic duo of chaos—Trump and Musk—are finally getting their comeuppance, and it’s more satisfying than a cold horchata on a 110-degree Tucson afternoon.
These two masters of self-destruction spent years sowing discord, gutting federal programs, gleefully watching grocery prices soar, planning to yank health insurance from millions of Americans, and generally treating the economy like their personal demolition derby.
And now? Now they’re swimming in the mess they created—Chef’s kiss.
Breaking down Trump’s greatest hits.
A whopping 57% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s presidency—that’s his highest disapproval rating since inauguration day. Even better? His approval rating has dropped by three percentage points, the lowest it has been during his first disastrous term. Apparently, the sequel is worse than the original.
But wait, there’s more! The hits just keep coming:
- 64% say the country is careening down the wrong track (shocking to absolutely no one who’s been paying attention)
- 64% are fed up with him jacking up inflation (because who doesn’t love paying $6 for eggs?)
- 60% disapprove of his handling of the Epstein investigations (and his naked-woman birthday card)
- 57% flat-out say Trump isn’t honest or trustworthy (tell us something we don’t know)
- 57% denounce his results on jobs and the economy (the ‘business genius’ strikes again!)
- 51% give a thumbs-down to his hideous immigration policy (Is ICE more like the Proud Boys or the Gestapo?)
It’s like a greatest hits album of failure, and every track is a banger!
Careening disasters for Musk
But hold on—Elon Musk isn’t getting off easy either. Having 5 SpaceX rockets explode on takeoff or in flight is just the beginning.
Advertisers are fleeing X faster than snowbirds heading back north in April. The platform has devolved into a right-wing echo chamber so intense that even Musk himself admitted to a roughly 50% nosedive in advertising revenue since he took over.
Turns out brands don’t love being associated with conspiracy theories and hate speech.
And Tesla? Elon’s toxic political antics have cost the company more than one million EV sales—that’s billions in lost revenue. CNN reports that Musk’s “polarizing political actions since acquiring Twitter have dramatically hurt the automaker’s U.S. sales, underscoring how deeply its fortunes are intertwined with the billionaire’s persona.”
Translation: Elon’s ego-driven political cosplay is tanking his own company. Laid-off federal employees are on a Roman Holiday.
As Democratic-leaning buyers (you know, people who actually care about the environment and bought EVs for that reason) abandoned Tesla in droves, competitors saw their electric and hybrid vehicle sales surge by 17% to 22%.
Schadenfreude: So Elon didn’t just lose customers—he gift-wrapped them and handed them directly to his competition. A business genius move right there!
We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s policies harm real people and Musk’s DOGE mass produced chaos, this spectacular faceplant feels especially satisfying. These two thought they were untouchable, that they could say and do whatever they wanted without consequences.
Turns out? The chickens have come home to roost. And they’re roosting in a dumpster.
