At a Cabinet meeting late last week, Elon Musk got into a shouting match with Secretary of State Marco Rubio over lies that Musk kept pushing about the agency. Musk had claimed that DOGE hadn’t fired anyone from the agency, which set off Rubio who screamed back at him about all the workers that had, in fact, been forced out of the agency. The shouting went on for a while with Musk insulting Rubio and Trump just sitting there, but it was obvious that other cabinet members wanted to jump in, as well. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.   Link – https://www.thedailybeast.com/marco-rubio-clashes-with-elon-musk-in-furious-cabinet-meeting-meltdown/ Subscribe to stay connected to our stories: https://www.youtube.com/theringoffire Support us by becoming a member on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYWIEbibRcZav6xMLo9qWWw/join Or Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheRingofFire Buy Ring of Fire merch: https://www.buyrof.com/ Find us on social media!

At a cabinet meeting late last week, Elon Musk, the head of Doge, or maybe not the head of Doge, depending on how the White House feels any particular day, and Secretary of State, Marco Rubio got into what is being described as a shouting match because Elon Musk would not stop lying about what the Department of Government Efficiency has done to the State Department, which Rubio oversees. Now, Musk started the whole thing by going after Rubio, kind of making fun of him a little bit, which, let's be honest, pretty easy to do. So I'm not gonna hold that against Elon Musk. But Rubio very quickly got angry because Musk then said like, we haven't fired anybody from the State Department, which is a blatant lie. That's what Rubio off. Rubio shoots back like, oh, you don't consider the 1500, uh, state Department employees who took your buyout offer to be laid off. Maybe Doge can just rehire them so that then you can fire 'em again, which I gotta say for Marco Rubio, that's a pretty good retort, right? Because Doge does seem to have a habit of firing a bunch of people and then having to go back and rehire them because they realized they made a, uh, a really horrible mistake. Now, the other part is too, the U-S-A-I-D program that is run by the State Department, and yes, workers there have in fact been actually laid off. So Rubio was right, Musk was wrong, but Musk didn't like Rubio firing back at him. He was not prepared for Lil Marco to come back with some fire. So Musk then attacked Rubio saying that he was basically only good on tv, which for the record is another lie, like Marco Rubio is not good on tv. He literally said last week about, uh, Donald Trump's, you know, foreign affairs. He is like, I don't know. I don't know what's going on. He said about Ukraine. He said, I don't know what's going on. So, no, the guy is not good on TV at all, Elon. But here's the funnier part, right? The, the feud between Rubio and Musk, of course, is what has taken over the headlines. But that wasn't the only fight that happened that day with Elon Musk. Also in that meeting, he took shots at Sean Duffy. He was going after him. Uh, um, uh, Musk and transportation secretary, Sean Duffy got into their own quarrel over how the ladder was managing the Federal Aviation Administration. Duffy complained that do's youngsters were trying to fire air traffic controllers, which Musk responded was a lie. And the tussle ended with Trump intervening to tell Duffy to just hire quote geniuses from MIT as air traffic controllers. Like, just go out and find smart people and force Them to be air traffic controllers. Uh, and for the record, doge has fired air traffic controllers. So Musk denying all of these things is just him further lying, just like the Department of Government efficiency has so far lied about every single thing that they have done, every bit of savings that they have had, the amount of people that they have fired, all the things they've done, they've lied about. And Elon Musk wants to perpetuate those lies in the cabinet meeting, and it did not go well. But of course, Donald Trump sat there throughout most of the thing just sitting there according to reports, arms crossed, you know, just watching these people fight, letting it happen. And then eventually he chimed in. He was like, we all have to get along, right? Let's, uh, let's work together. Let's, let's get things done.
