Friend --

Lately, a certain tech mogul has been keeping a lower profile.
But at Country First, we don’t let powerful people quietly slip out of the spotlight—especially not after they’ve caused serious damage to our democracy and institutions.

Elon Musk announced he is leaving Washington DC.  And today they will be having a White House Press Briefing before his departure (Wonder if the Press will ask Musk about his reported drug use).

Apparently, some folks are hoping we forget the facts.

We haven’t. And we won’t.

Let’s be clear about what happened:

1. DOGE helped erode trust in democratic institutions.
2. DOGE cut federal contracts recklessly, harming farmers, working families, health research —without any clear strategy or justification.
3. DOGE fired federal employees responsible for overseeing our nuclear arsenal—only to rehire them after realizing just how reckless that move was.
4. DOGE accounting is sloppy, inflating $8 million contracts to $8 billion in their reports.
5. And perhaps most damning: Elon Musk’s DOGE seemed to be a highly lucrative business trip.  Musk groups secured $600 million in federal contracts during his brief tenure with DOGE—while he publicly undermined the very government issuing those contracts.

That’s not innovation. That’s hypocrisy—and conflict of interest at its worst.

At Country First, we don’t thank people for reckless behavior. We expose it. We document it. And we make sure the public doesn’t forget because a functioning democracy deserves truth & transparency.
