Elon Musk vs. The Tax Bill: Even I, Wonder Woman, Think This is Messy!

By Hera What a Mess!

Greetings mortals! Wonder Woman here reporting from the front lines of… well Earth's financial woes. Apparently a certain Elon Musk has taken to his digital soapbox to decry a tax bill championed by none other than Donald Trump. Musk calls it 'debt slavery.' Strong words even for a man who wants to colonize Mars! I've tangled with Ares the God of War and even *I* find this political battle a bit… messy. I thought Steve Trevor's briefings were complex but this is a whole other level of labyrinthine complexity.

Musk's Twitter Tirade: Is it a Bird is it a Plane No it's a Tweetstorm!

Musk the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX has been on a social media rampage – using X formerly known as Twitter to urge citizens to 'KILL the BILL!' Now I'm all for a good call to action (I practically invented the 'charge!' battle cry). But perhaps a little less caps lock Elon? It's making even *my* Lasso of Truth tingle with anxiety. He claims the bill will bankrupt America. I must admit even for someone who can bench press a tank the weight of global economics is daunting.

DOGE Days are Over?

Interestingly this comes after Musk's brief stint as head of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE (yes that's the actual acronym I had to check my notes twice). It seems the honeymoon is over. Perhaps Trump should have consulted my wisdom instead of letting a rocket man handle governmental streamlining. Although to be fair rocket science is probably easier than navigating Capitol Hill.

EV Tax Credit: The Real Reason for the Rage?

Sources say Musk's anger stems partly from the bill cutting an EV tax credit that benefits Tesla. Ah so there's a *little* self interest at play? Even heroes have their biases I suppose. I do appreciate a clean energy chariot though. Perhaps a solar powered Invisible Jet is in order? I'll run that by Etta Candy she'll know what to do. She always knows what to do.

NASA and FAA Woes: Starlink's Loss?

Apparently there were some disagreements about the FAA and NASA too. Trump nixed Musk's idea to have the FAA run off his Starlink system and rejected his pick for NASA administrator. Ouch. Rejection is never fun unless you're rejecting Cheetah's latest attempt to steal my tiara. Then it's quite satisfying.

Truth Social Throwback: A Blast From The Past

In a twist worthy of Circe herself Trump's Truth Social account reposted a screenshot of Musk thanking him for leading DOGE. Talk about awkward! It's like when Ares tried to send me a fruit basket after our last battle. The Themysciran diplomats had a field day deciphering the message behind that gesture. I will say one thing it sounds like both parties are acting like villains in their own separate way which can only lead to darkness and as I always say "Only love can truly save the world."
