Rubio, Trump, and Musk Dine In Florida

Well, well, well—looks like the media was salivating over the idea of a Trump-Musk-Rubio showdown, only to be left holding an empty plate. The New York Times desperately tried to stir up drama, claiming there was some kind of simmering tension over Musk’s role in the administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (fittingly called DOGE). But then reality came knocking: Trump himself made it very clear—complete with all-caps Truth Social enthusiasm—that Musk and Rubio have a “GREAT RELATIONSHIP.” And let’s be honest, if there were fireworks, you know Trump would have been the first to tell us.

Instead of the brawl the press was hoping for, Musk, Rubio, and Trump were dining together at Mar-a-Lago, joined by none other than Sean Hannity and his fiancée, Ainsley Earhardt. The way the media tells it, you’d think this was a mafia sit-down where Musk and Rubio were battling over turf. In reality, it was a gathering of major players who—brace yourselves—actually agree on a lot more than they disagree.

The so-called “rift” was supposedly over DOGE’s aggressive staff cuts, which, let’s face it, are long overdue. After years of bureaucratic bloat, inefficiency, and taxpayer money going up in flames on pet projects, this administration is actually getting serious about trimming the fat. But the media, always eager to paint Musk as a rogue billionaire running amok, jumped on the idea that Rubio and even Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy were fuming over the changes. Yet, when the dust settled, what did we get? Duffy praising DOGE’s work, saying his department was ditching the “Green New Scam” and all the virtue-signaling nonsense in favor of something radical—actual safety and efficiency. Imagine that.

And if there was any lingering doubt that Musk and Rubio were still on the same page, they put it to rest the next day when they tag-teamed against Poland’s foreign minister, Radosław Sikorski. Sikorski, in an apparent attempt to pander to the EU elite, suggested Ukraine should start looking for alternatives to Musk’s Starlink service. That didn’t go over well. Rubio swiftly shut it down, reminding the minister that, without Starlink, Ukraine would have lost the war long ago. Musk, never one to hold back, added his own blunt assessment: “Be quiet, small man.” Ouch.

Now, let’s just take a moment to appreciate the irony here. The left has spent years worshipping Elon Musk, putting him on a pedestal as the tech genius who was going to save the world with electric cars and space travel. But the moment he starts advocating for free speech, cutting through bureaucratic waste, and refusing to play along with the left’s never-ending list of demands, he becomes public enemy number one. And yet, despite the media’s best efforts, Musk doesn’t seem to be losing any sleep over it.

The real takeaway here? The New York Times and the rest of the legacy media are desperate to create conflict where none exists. They need their narratives of Republican “infighting” to distract from the fact that Trump’s administration is actually getting things done—streamlining the government, prioritizing efficiency, and refusing to be bullied by globalist bureaucrats. The dinner at Mar-a-Lago wasn’t some dramatic showdown; it was a demonstration that this administration is full of strong, independent leaders who can disagree, debate, and still work toward the same goal.

So while the left keeps hoping for a GOP civil war, all they’re getting is a front-row seat to a Republican party that’s more focused and effective than ever. And judging by the latest polls, the American people are noticing.
