"Trump’s Coming for Elon’s Billions"
Elon’s empire is under siege, and Trump’s playing the long game; just like I warned. Starlink, spies, and sabotage; this will be the heist of the century.
Let me just start with this: I told you so.
Not to be that guy, but let’s be honest; I am that guy. Because when you’ve served as fixer to the man-child-in-chief for s decade and a half, you learn to read between the lines of power, paranoia, and pure corruption. I’ve said it on television. I’ve said it to journalists. I’ve screamed it on Mea Culpa and on Political Beatdown. And six months ago, I said; without blinking, that Trump would pull a Mohammad bin Salman-style shake-down on Elon Musk. And so many of you just laughed and said, “no way”.
You remember MBS, right? The Saudi prince who invited his country’s wealthiest men, including his relatives, to the Ritz-Carlton and turned it into a five-star ransom center? They came in billionaires, they left a little lighter; in the wallet and the pride department. That wasn’t just a corruption crackdown; it was a cash grab with a smile.
And now here we are, smack dab in the middle of Trump’s reboot of the same playbook. The only difference? This time, it’s red, white, and blue; and it’s coming for Elon.
So why am I revisiting this now? Because the signs aren’t just trickling out; they’re gushing. Just reported: White House security staff flagged Musk’s Starlink system as a national security risk. That’s right. The very same network Elon has been pushing as indispensable to global communication; Starlink, was quietly flagged by Trump’s own team as a potential cyber backdoor. A sleek, Silicon Valley snake pit slithering right into the heart of the federal government.
According to multiple sources, Trump’s security staff warned both the FBI and Trump himself that Starlink’s infrastructure could access unauthorized information; that they could spy on the government from inside the goddamn White House.
And what was the response? A classic Trumpian dodge. The White House releases a statement so syrupy and vague you could drizzle it over pancakes:
"The efforts to work with companies like Starlink, or any other company that would bring efficiency to the White House and the federal government, is really part of the president's goal to make the White House and federal government more efficient."
Cue the patriotic violins. Trump, the efficiency guru! Give me a fuckin break. That statement screams plausible deniability louder than a MAGA rally in Mar-a-Lago.
Behind the scenes? We’re learning that White House communications staff had no idea when DOGE representatives showed up in February and installed a Starlink terminal; on the roof of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, no less.
Let that sink in: Elon’s people installed a satellite uplink system without prior authorization, in direct proximity to the nerve center of U.S. executive power. You think that happened by accident? You think that doesn’t have consequences?
Security staffers admitted they couldn’t monitor the connections, didn’t know what data was moving where, and weren’t briefed in advance. And for all the noise about “efficiency,” the truth is: Starlink may have the White House on digital wiretap.
Now here’s the real kicker: Trump is keeping quiet. Too quiet. The same guy who rage-posts about Rosie O'Donnell and SNL suddenly finds the mute button when Musk is involved? Please. This silence isn’t mercy; it’s calculation.
What’s coming next is the old bait-and-switch. Trump will turn on Elon like a rabid ferret in a corner. First comes the whisper campaign: Musk is compromised, he’s colluding, he’s a threat. They’ll say he’s a Chinese asset, a globalist puppet, whatever sticks to the wall. Then comes the public crucifixion: charges of espionage, investigations, maybe even the “T” word; treason.
And you know what follows treason? Asset seizure. Shut it all down. SpaceX, Neuralink, Tesla; if Trump has his way, he’ll turn Elon’s empire into a government-owned museum of “national security enforcement.”
Which brings us to the Pentagon and NASA. They’ve already begun looking for alternatives to SpaceX. That’s not just hedging their bets; that’s the opening volley in an economic exorcism. Trump’s people are laying the groundwork to make sure that, when they come for Musk, the world doesn’t blink. They’ll say: “We had to. He was a threat.”
You don’t need a tinfoil hat to see the outline of the plan. You just need a memory; and a little less naivety.
Round one of the Trump-Musk feud was social media slap-fighting; X posts, meme warfare, ego flexing. I said then it was just the beginning. Round two? It's going to get biblical.
And you can bet your last Dogecoin that Trump’s administration is sharpening the knives behind the scenes. Because this isn't about efficiency. This is about power, payback, and plunder. Trump sees Elon not as an innovator or patriot, but as a rival oligarch with deep pockets and media power; and in Trump’s world, there’s only room for one emperor.
So yeah, call me paranoid. Call me obsessed. But don’t call me wrong.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to rest my brain before my next appearance where I'll undoubtedly be screaming into the mic about how the warning signs were all there. Again.
Round 2 has just begun. And Elon? He better start ducking and weaving.
THIS IS A CRITICAL PERSONAL APPEAL
JOIN ME. STAND WITH THIS COMMUNITY. WE CANNOT DO THIS ALONE.
If you’re reading this, you’re already part of the resistance. You believe in truth. In justice. In dragging the roaches of corruption into the light. But let me be brutally honest: I can’t do this without you.
This isn't just another newsletter; it's a war cry. A movement. A battering ram aimed at the liars, the grifters, and the authoritarian wannabes hijacking our democracy. And we need to grow this platform into a voice so loud, so relentless, that they can’t spin it, silence it, or shut it down.
I’m calling on you; not passively asking, but urgently demanding, to fuel this fight. We are the last line of defense between democracy and dictatorship.
And yes; as a small token of my appreciation, the first 240 Founding Members will receive a signed, numbered, limited Substack edition of my New York Times bestseller, Revenge: How Donald Trump Weaponized the U.S. Department of Justice Against His Critics. It’s not just a collector’s item. It’s a declaration of where you stood when history came calling.
But this isn’t about a book.
This is about defiance.
About refusing to be gaslit.
About locking arms and shouting back at the madness.
Here’s how you can raise your voice:
Become a supporter today.
Forward this post to people who won’t sit on the sidelines.
Bring your crew. Grow this community. Be the megaphone.
You want to make a difference? This is your moment.
Rise up. Speak out. Show up.
Because if we don’t fight for truth; no one will.
And if we do it together? They’ll never drown us out.
Let’s be impossible to ignore.
Let’s be un-fucking-breakable.
Join now. Share widely. Let’s go.
No one knows better than you, Michael, how the “brain” of the elderly sociopath works, and how his personal interactions proceed. No one who enters Trump’s orbit leaves it intact….including the United States of America itself. WE THE PEOPLE need to raise our voices on No Kings Day..to let the administration know that we are not OK with the imperial presidency, and that Congress had better get busy representing the people who elected them or lose their cushy jobs.
Trump is like no other. Michael, you’ve been 100% right every time. Screaming in the mic is required right now!
