On June 3, 2025, Elon Musk seemed to rip into the GOP for allegedly splurging on luxury hotels in Ukraine. His caption? A dramatic, populist mic drop, seeming to reference the 2026 midterm elections: “In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people.”
With nearly 30 million views and counting, this wasn’t your average keyboard tantrum. As one comment said, “I don’t think he’s bluffing.” Was this the world’s richest man and self-appointed referee of the culture wars, telling the MAGA GOP: I’m not mad—I’m just done? Musk’s apparent about-face could come too late, because as he seems to realize, the damage is already done.
