That smell of Musk in the air is not coming from an Arctic bovid; it is coming from a patriot, the richest man in the world, who is lending his expertise to the president on America’s journey back to sensible governance (“Musk says DOGE team aims to cut $1 trillion from the deficit,” Web, Feb. 19).

Elon Musk is the cause of the Democrats’ present frenzied turmoil. Having been soundly defeated, they are now running around like chickens without heads, not knowing what to do about the sky falling on them.

The Republicans replaced the Democrats’ old, musty, shot-in-the-foot-again Washington insiders with an exciting new breed — and it’s stimulating the branches of government. So far, no Democrat seems to have fit the bill for inclusion. Ho hum.
