The tech titans and others working in the Trump administration left their cushier jobs in business to work 20-hour days for the American people for free or nearly free. Instead of wearing whatever they want to work, they're suited up, and unlike the tech world, they call other people Sir or Ma'am.
And what do they get in return? Death threats. Green-haired nutters burning down their Tesla stores. Their character ripped apart in polemical screeds. Being called Nazis. Being forced to hire massively more security, maybe for the rest of their lives.
Bad singers sing homages to their demise.
Kamala Harris had to pay Beyoncé and other big-name entertainers appearance fees to come to her events. Donald Trump is getting billionaires to lose money to work for America for free.
Elon Musk and his team sleep at work, and the left is literally trying to destroy his Tesla empire. Crypto Czar David Sacks sold his crypto positions before coming on board and is still being smeared. President Donald Trump works for free, giving away his salary to charity, and pays taxes on it.
Dan Bongino built his company, built out a new studio, recently moved into a new house, and is now leaving it all for the privilege of being smeared by the left for doing commercials he was already contracted for before he started working for the FBI. Vivek Ramaswamy punched out of DOGE to run for governor of Ohio, but not before working for free through the first days of the Trump administration.
Sacks of Craft Ventures is the Trump administration's AI and Crypto Czar. He divested from his personal and his venture firm's crypto holdings before Inauguration Day.
He talked about it on the All In Podcast over the weekend.
I got rid of all my cryptocurrency prior to day one. Craft also sold all...so we we basically sold I think it was around $200 million of crypto of which around $85 million was personally attributable to myself and cleared that before day one. [I] paid taxes on it ... so there wouldn't be a conflict.
After it was obvious that he sold his cryptocurrencies and interests, the smear merchants changed their tactics and accused him of being in crypto funds. But then the fund managers individually verified that Sacks had pulled out of those before he entered the West Wing.
I'm not suggesting that we shouldn't question the motives of people working for Trump, but why don't you judge them by the fruits of their labors? Are they making things better? Sacks and Trump have already established a strategic crypto reserve.
Do you know what Joe Biden did with the 400,000 Bitcoin he had in U.S. coffers? Sacks says he sold it for $400,000,000 in revenue. Cryptocurrencies can be feisty, but you don't need to know about Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies to know the $1,000 price was a bad deal. Sacks says those Bitcoin would now be worth $17 billion if he'd hung on to it. One bitcoin was worth $82,000.00 as of Tuesday.
I'm glad competent people are watching out for the American people's assets, aren't you? If we didn't have Howard Lutnick, the former Cantor Fitzgerald CEO, as Commerce Secretary, would anyone — ever — have suggested that the dying post office use letter carriers to double up as census workers?
What's left of the left has gone bonkers over Elon Musk saving them — and all of us — money. Elon doesn't need to lose money and prestige by working to save Americans trillions of dollars. But he does want to save the country from going functionally bankrupt because it's in our national security interests to stay solvent.
Musk discovered that failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, a favorite of the left, got billions — not a typo — for a so-called environmental group that didn't exist before Joe Biden decided to shovel that money through the door before he closed his presidency. That's what corruption looks like.
The other day, former Trump 45 executive Larry Kudlow asked Musk how he was still able to keep tabs on his important companies while overseeing DOGE. "With great difficulty," Musk deadpanned.
I much prefer having people in public office who may be rich but lose money while serving the American people, instead of people getting rich while in office.
There was an old-timey mindset that was once revered in America. After you made your fortune and took care of your family, you turned your attention to public service.
I'm glad we have a new generation of people still willing to do that.
