Elon Musk Baited the Media...and Oh, Did
They Bite
Posted By: Imright, 2/11/2025 5:18:36 PM
Elon Musk decided to grow a pair to mess with the media, and they took the bait. The man helming the Department of Government Efficiency at the behest of President Donald J. Trump changed his Twitter handle to “Harry Bolz,” and CNN’s segment on it was pure gold. It’s comedy: (X Videos) Musk and others were commenting on a series of district court rulings aiming for the DOGE cuts and the general audit of Washington, which President Trump should ignore. But CNN actually said it on-air, which makes it more satisfying. The media should be mocked

Office because of AP style policy on ‘Gulf

NEW YORK — The White House blocked an Associated Press reporter from an event in the Oval Office on Tuesday after demanding the news agency alter its style on the Gulf of Mexico, which President Donald Trump has ordered renamed the Gulf of America.
The reporter, whom the AP would not identify, tried to enter the White House event as usual Tuesday afternoon and was turned away. Later, a second AP reporter was barred from a late-evening event in the White House Diplomatic Room.
The highly unusual ban, which Trump administration officials had threatened earlier Tuesday unless the AP changed the style on the Gulf, could have constitutional free-speech implications.

The Democrats' attacks on President Donald Trump and Elon Musk over the work of DOGE have been desperate and ridiculous.
They pushed this "Musk is unelected" thing, ignoring that DOGE is part of the Executive Office of the President, so yes, he's not just randomly looking through the finances. Plus, virtually everyone operating in the government, including the bureaucrats the Democrats don't want us to review, are "unelected." What's happening here is, maybe for the first time ever, you have people who care looking line by line through expenditures, who believe that there shouldn't be an unelected bureaucracy and that the American people should be listened to.
On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” U.S. Hostage Envoy Adam Boehler stated that there will be another detained American coming home on Wednesday, but wouldn’t elaborate on who it was or which country they were being released from.
Boehler said, [relevant remarks begin around 6:00] “I just want to note, this is a unique circumstance that Secretary Rubio is saying. This is a unilateral move. It follows unilateral moves by Venezuela, other countries. We have another American coming in tomorrow. And so, this is — the president has made this a top priority. And he’s got the A team on it. He’s got Steve Witkoff on it.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R–Fla.), the head of a new congressional task force aimed at exposing “federal secrets,” said Tuesday that she believes “two shooters” were involved in the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy.
The task force — which will also probe pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s client list — intends to build on the Trump administration’s efforts to declassify records related to the assassinations of JFK, former New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., and will start with a “thorough investigation” of JFK’s November 1963 shooting death in Dallas, Texas.
“Based on what I’ve been seeing so far, the initial hearing

President Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk at an Oval Office event. You know this was going to cause a meltdown. The event was marked by the president directing government agencies to cooperate with the Department of Government Efficiency, helmed by Elon Musk at the president's direction. It was quite an event, and Musk seemed ready to spar with the media, which attacked him as an Americanized Rasputin figure. The Telsa founder was short and sweet regarding questions about a shadow presidency, adding that the people voted for this; they want DOGE to audit the gravy train built by the political class and dismantle it.
Pennsylvania teacher Marc Fogel called President Trump “a hero” Tuesday in his first remarks since the commander in chief’s administration secured his release from a Russian prison.
“I want you to know that I am not a hero in this at all. And President Trump is a hero,” Fogel said after meeting Trump at the White House.
(Photo) “These men that came from the diplomatic service are heroes,” Fogel continued. “The senators and representatives that passed legislation in my honor to get me home are the heroes.” “I am in awe of what they all did.” Trump, 78, greeted Fogel outside the White House on a snowy night in Washington
Paul Martin, the inspector general at the USAID was fired on Tuesday just one day after his office released a report blasting the Trump Administration for working to gut the agency, according to CNN.
Martin, a Biden holdover, was terminated effective immediately.
NBC News also confirmed the firing.
“On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as Inspector General of the United States Agency for International Development is terminated, effective immediately,” Trent Morse, deputy director of the Office of Presidential Personnel, said to Paul Martin in an email obtained by NBC News. “Thank you for your service.”
The Department of Education (DOE) slashed 29 diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training grants totaling $101 million as part of the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) mission to eliminate wasteful spending within the federal government.
DOGE, which is led by Elon Musk, announced the DOE’s elimination of the DEI training grants along with the termination of nearly $1 billion in contracts.One of the 29 DEI training grants sought to “help students understand/interrogate the complex histories involved in oppression, and help students recognize areas of privilege and power on an individual and collective basis,” according to DOGE.

Three weeks into President Donald Trump’s second term and the Democrat Party is rudderless.
They lack compelling, charismatic leadership. They are rapidly losing ground in the culture war that they dominated for so long. They don’t have any favorable issues or narratives that are breaking out into the broader cultural consciousness. Their tried-and-true tactic of public shaming and cancelation couldn’t even keep the young DOGE employee known as “Big Balls” out of a job. However, there is one element of the activist left that still poses a significant threat to the Donald Trump and his agenda, and that is lawfare.
Elon Musk and his adorable son, X, traveled to the White House on Tuesday to meet with President Trump in the Oval Office.
President Trump signed a new executive order mandating federal agencies work with DOGE.
Elon Musk said DOGE will begin investigating federal government workers who have managed to accrue tens of millions of dollars.
“We do find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who who have essentially a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars,

President Trump has made a bold move by firing the head of the Office of Government Ethics, a decision that many conservatives view as a necessary corrective against an entrenched liberal bias in Washington.
David Huitema, who was appointed by Joe Biden in December 2024 for a five-year term and confirmed by the Senate, had been in office for just over two months before his removal.
Trump’s decision to remove him as director was announced in a brief statement on the OGE website, noting that the office had been informed of his dismissal.
“OGE has been notified that the President is removing David Huitema as the Director of OGE.
WASHINGTON — President Trump is set to sign an order Tuesday instructing the Department of Government Efficiency to potentially toss entire federal agencies — and hire only one federal worker to replace every four who leave.
DOGE will ask agency heads to coordinate with the team being lead by Elon Musk and “shrink the size of the federal workforce and limit hiring to essential positions,” according to a fact sheet on the executive order obtained by The Post. (Photos) Entire agencies and part of agencies may be eliminated because their functions aren’t required by law, says the readout, first obtained by Semafor.

Interference in another country's internal affairs?
Sure, if you're the Vatican, or more specifically, the Vatican's big umbrella NGO of NGOs known as Caritas, whose U.S. arms include Catholic Charities and Catholic Relief Services.
According to the Associated Press:
VATICAN CITY -- The Vatican's charity said Monday that U.S. plans to gut USAID were “reckless” and could kill millions, while Pope Francis’ point man on development urged the Trump administration to remember Christian principles about caring for others.
Cardinal Michael Czerny, a Czech-born Canadian Jesuit, is one of the cardinals most closely associated with Francis’ pontificate and heads the Vatican office responsible for migrants, the environment, the church’s Caritas Internationalis charity and development.
Chelsea Clinton claims that 'misinformation' has been weaponized against her after claims she was gifted $84million from the under fire United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
Elon Musk and President Donald Trump have attempted to shut down the embattled government agency tasked with humanitarian relief overseas after they agreed the organization was 'beyond repair' and wasting billions.
The billionaire 'first buddy' led a civilian review of the federal government with Trump's go-ahead and decided this week to shut down the agency.
A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump Administration to restore the gender ideology webpages it deleted.
US District Judge John Bates of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, a George W. Bush appointee, ordered Trump to restore the pages by midnight tonight.
Last month, President Trump scrubbed public health websites of all things related to “gender ideology.”
A group dubbed Doctors For America sued the Office of Personal Management and numerous government agencies, claiming the removal could prevent doctors from helping patients.
Will it help stave off a potential Armageddon?
NASA is training humanity’s most powerful telescope on a “city-killing” asteroid to determine whether or not we need to brace for deep impact.
Dubbed 2024 YR4, the building-sized space rock reportedly has a 1-in-43 chance of slamming into Earth in 2032 — up from about 1%, the Independent reported.
The asteroid was discovered by NASA in December and is reportedly at the top of NASA’s watch list when it comes to hazards from beyond. (Photo) With this “time-critical” threat potentially on our doorstep, the space agency has enlisted the aid of the James Webb telescope to study 2024 YR4 and gauge how much
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., faced widespread mockery after launching a tipline to "expose corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety." On Monday, Schumer shared a link calling on "whistleblowers" to report violations, arguing they "are a vital part of Congressional oversight to hold the administration accountable." The categories whistleblowers can report include "retaliation," "wasteful spending," "fraud," "criminal activity," and "other."
"Today, I’m calling on our brave public servants," the Senate Minority Leader wrote as he shared the tipline form on X.
It’s a Croc block!
Dozens of schools in at least 20 states across the U.S. have banned students from wearing Crocs to class.
School administrators claim students are more likely to struggle to walk when wearing the shoes — which could be deadly in an emergency. (Photo) “It’s actually a safety hazard,” Stoney Pritchett, principal of Bessemer City High School in Alabama, told TODAY. “Man, they can twist the knees, twist the ankles, things like that.”
A group is planning a nationwide economic blackout as a response to the rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives sparked by the federal government. Why It Matters When President Donald Trump reentered office last month, one of his first calls to action was to end several of the DEI initiatives in the federal government. He mandated in an executive order that funds could be frozen for companies that do not comply. He also outlawed any messaging that promotes inclusion-based language. The orders have caused PBS to close its DEI office, while major companies like Amazon, Target and Google
Democrats are prepared to shut down the federal government during next month’s spending fight after becoming enraged over the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) financial audit of government spending.
The Democrats’ tactic puts them into a precarious position of supporting waste, fraud, and abuse, three items DOGE is tasked with cutting.
“I cannot support efforts that will continue this lawlessness that we’re seeing when it comes to this administration’s actions,” Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “And for us to be able to support government funding in that way only for them to turn it around, to dismantle the government.
Tom Homan confirmed that a series of leaks related to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations may have originated within the FBI.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a massive Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation set to take place in Los Angeles, targeting thousands of illegal immigrants with criminal records, was leaked to the far-left press.
According to the leaked documents, the raid—dubbed Operation Compliance—was designed to be one of the largest immigration enforcement efforts in recent years, targeting primarily individuals with outstanding deportation orders, criminal convictions, and known gang affiliations.
Former Democratic donor-tuned-MAGA supporter Lindy Li dropped more details about Joe Biden and her former party’s shenanigans during the 2024 election. Li has been eager to spill all the things about the delusions that engulfed the Democrats, to the point where some thought they could win Iowa. Over $2 billion was raised and blown on Kamala Harris’ shambolic campaign for the White House. After some expenditures were made public, some megadonors warned they’d never write a check again.
Ms. Li said that after Joe Biden’s disastrous CNN debate that June, Hunter Biden commandeered the White House and sat in on sensitive meetings without a security clearance.
“GMA” host George Stephanopoulos has been “miserable” after being forced to apologize following the President Trump fiasco — and staffers are already speculating about who might replace him, The Post has learned
Stephanopoulos has been rumored to be on his way out, according to multiple network sources, since ABC News parent Disney agreed to settle a defamation suit in December over the anchor insisting on-air that Trump was “found liable for rape” — instead of sexual abuse — in a lawsuit by journalist E. Jean Carroll.
As part of Disney’s deal with Trump, the former Democratic operative — who co-hosts “GMA” with Roberts and Michael Strahan —
