Newsom Mocks Musk. Musk Waves Bye-Bye: ‘Gavin’s Career Is Over’

In the latest salvo in the war of words between Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk and California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, Musk pronounced that Newsom’s “career is over.”

On Monday, Newsom signed into law AB 1955, which barred school districts from alerting parents of their children’s sexuality, or if they use pronouns or have adopted gender identities that conflict with those on their school records. Musk recalled that he had warned Newsom last year that if the law were passed, it would force families and companies to leave California “to protect their children.”

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that Musk had pledged to give roughly $45 million a month to America PAC, which supports former president Trump’s reelection campaign.

On Tuesday, Musk announced that in response to the passing of AB 1955, he would relocate his companies out of the so-called Golden State, tweeting, “This is the final straw. Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.”

He added, “And X HQ will move to Austin. …Have had enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building.”

Newsom then mocked Musk, claiming he “bent the knee” to Trump with his recent campaign pledge.

That prompted author and journalist Michael Shellenberger, a foe of the environmental movement who also challenged Newsom in two gubernatorial elections, to fire, “You took the most beautiful state and made it the ugliest. You increased homelessness by 40%. You let addicts die on the street.  You unleashed violent crime. Now you’re trying to medically mistreat children. You’re the worst governor in our state’s history. Resign.”

Musk then offered his succinct conclusion to the episode, writing bluntly, “Gavin’s career is over.”

Musk has an estranged relationship with his child who reportedly came out as transgender as a 16-year-old, which he partly blames on a leftist school his child attended in Los Angeles.

DeSantis Says America Cannot Afford A ‘Weekend At Bernie’s’ President

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis called President Joe Biden a “Weekend At Bernie’s” president Tuesday evening during his speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

“Let’s send Joe Biden back to his basement and let’s send Donald Trump back to the White House,” DeSantis said to enthusiastic applause.

“America cannot afford four more years of a ‘Weekend At Bernie’s’ presidency,” the governor said, referencing the 1989 comedy in which two insurance employees prop up their dead boss.

DeSantis said he is “alarmed that the current president of the United States lacks the capability to discharge the duties of his office.”

“Our enemies do not confine their designs to between 10 am and 4 pm,” DeSantis continued. “But … let’s be honest here. Biden is just a figurehead. He’s a tool for imposing a leftist agenda on the American people.”

DeSantis criticized many of the Biden administration’s policies, including its push for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), which DeSantis said really stands for “division, exclusion, and indoctrination, and it is wrong.”

“They support open borders, allowing millions and millions of illegal aliens to pour into our country and to burden our communities,” DeSantis said.

“But just don’t send any to Martha’s Vineyard. Then they get really upset,” the governor added, referencing his famous move to fly about 50 illegal migrants to the wealthy island, causing an uproar among residents.

DeSantis also praised former President Donald Trump after campaigning against him in the primary. DeSantis ultimately dropped out of the race in January.

Both DeSantis and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who lingered in the primary race until March, offered endorsements of Trump, who officially clinched the Republican nomination at the convention.

“Life was more affordable when Donald Trump was president, our border was safer under the Trump administration, and our country was respected when Donald Trump was our commander-in-chief,” DeSantis said.

DeSantis spoke on the second day of the convention, which started just two days after Trump survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in western Pennsylvania, where a gunman grazed the former president’s right ear with a bullet. One rallygoer was killed, and two others were injured in the shooting.

“Now Donald Trump stands in their way, and he stands up for America. Donald Trump has been demonized, he’s been sued, he’s been prosecuted, and he nearly lost his life. We cannot let him down, and we cannot let America down,” DeSantis said.
