While Elon Musk’s astronomical wealth and the work of his DOGE have been one of a kind, there are strong echoes of another businessman-turned-slasher-of-government who came to Washington just more than 100 years ago.
100 years before Elon Musk, one of America's richest men came to fix Washington. It didn't end well.
Andrew Mellon, treasury secretary to three presidents, slashed government spending but ultimately saw his legacy tarnished by the Great Depression and changed by the New Deal.

Government time wasting, widespread inflation, thousands of layoffs, corporate price gouging, plummet stock market, it’s all because of them. They don’t care that the common American is suffering, they care about giving themselves tax breaks and government contracts.

They do not care about you.
