Faced with failing legal avenues — their attempts to hinder Musk through the courts were stymied by Obama-appointed judges ruling in his favor — the media has transitioned from a legalistic approach to political smear tactics. The intent is clear: to portray Musk and Doge as liabilities for former President Donald Trump’s political capital. However, those efforts have, thus far, yielded the opposite results.
The media's recent characterizations of protests seemingly orchestrated against Musk, presented as grassroots uprisings, have met with skepticism. Reacting to these claims, commentators have pointed out the absurdity of staging protests against the reduction of waste, fraud, and abuse within the government, illustrating a disconnect between reported sentiments and actual public opinion.
