I think if I were Musk and it cost me 100 billion dollars (on paper) that I also would leave Government and DOGE

 Imagine you are worth 400 billion dollars (in all your companies from Spacex to Tesla and others) and it just cost you (100 billion on paper) to be a part of DOGE what would you do?

AFter all they already stole everyone's private information in the whole Country from the IRS and know what everyone makes and where they make it from whether they are billionaires or millionaires or regular people.

So, 350 million people should likely sue Trump and Musk for stealing all their private business information to begin with and I think some people will.

However, since Trump and Musk are acting like Criminals and not honest politicians (is there such a thing?) But, Trump and Musk are basically the new Robber Barons like the 1890s again.

Here is more about the 1890 Robber Barons so you understand this isn't the first time the U.S. had Robber Barons:

Begin quote from Google AI and some websites:

 

The 1890s was a period where powerful industrialists, often referred to as "robber barons," amassed immense wealth and influence through various business practices. Key figures during this era include Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and J.P. Morgan. These men dominated industries like steel, oil, railroads, and finance, creating monopolies and often employing tactics considered unethical by modern standards. 

Examples of Robber Barons in the 1890s:

Andrew Carnegie:
Built the steel industry, initially through ruthless competition and later becoming a notable philanthropist. 

John D. Rockefeller:

Founded Standard Oil and used vertical integration to create a near-monopoly in the oil industry, according to the Business Insider. 

Cornelius Vanderbilt:

Dominated the shipping and railroad industries, famously building his fortune in the steamship business and then expanding into railroads. 

J.P. Morgan:

A powerful financier who played a key role in consolidating industries through mergers and acquisitions, including the creation of General Electric. 

Key Characteristics of Robber Barons:

Monopolies and Trusts:
They often controlled entire industries, stifling competition and raising prices. 

Exploitation of Labor:

Workers faced low wages, long hours, and dangerous working conditions. 

Questionable Business Practices:

Their methods were often considered ruthless, including price fixing, bribery, and crushing competitors. 

Philanthropy (Later):

While their business practices were criticized, many later became philanthropists, donating large sums of money to various causes.
