Donald Trump’s regime just pulled off its favorite trick: rope in a high-profile billionaire with big promises of reform, milk him for cash and political cover, then dump him the second he steps out of line. The latest chump? A so-called “libertarian” technocrat who thought he could clean up Washington from the inside.
This week, Trump torched what was left of his alliance with a one-time “efficiency czar,” trashing him on Truth Social and nuking any reforms they allegedly pursued together. And why? Because the billionaire dared to object when Trump rolled out his next authoritarian atrocity: the so-called “One, Big, Beautiful Bill”—a $3.7 trillion, pork-laden Frankenstein of protectionist handouts and militarized spending that makes Biden look like a penny-pincher.
But don’t mistake this fallout for anything noble. This isn’t a story of broken ideals—it’s a tale of two oligarchs using each other like Kleenex. One poured money into Trump’s campaign hoping to get cushy federal contracts and deregulation favoring his empire. The other took that cash and installed him in a pretend position (“Department of Government Efficiency”—seriously?) to prop up the illusion that MAGA was draining the swamp.
Behind the smoke, the usual game played out: favors, lobbying, contracts, and political theater. When Trump’s bill proposed slashing electric vehicle tax credits—credits that kept one billionaire’s flagship company afloat—the bromance ended. Fast.
Trump cut him off, slammed the door on government contracts, and even pulled the rug out from under one of his closest allies who was tapped to head NASA. The message was clear: get in line or get out. Loyalty isn’t optional in Trump’s America. It’s mandatory.
Trump isn’t an ideologue. He’s a pragmatist—if your definition of pragmatic includes threatening dissidents, gutting oversight, and building an economy around your cronies and yes-men. His “new coalition” doesn’t care about libertarian dreams. They care about absolute control. They care about enriching the inner circle while the rest of us choke on inflation and debt.
The “Big, Beautiful Bill” is nothing short of an economic warhead. It balloons the federal deficit, pours billions into surveillance tech, and tightens the noose around American workers—all while selling a fantasy of “American greatness.” Translation: funnel taxpayer dollars to his donor class while tightening the screws on everyone else.
Let this be a final warning to any libertarian who still thinks they can “work within the system.” You cannot. Not when the system is designed to destroy you. One billionaire couldn’t fix it, even with a department at his disposal and billions in influence. He tried, failed, and was discarded.
Trump doesn’t want reformers. He wants lapdogs. The moment you start talking savings or transparency, you’re out. That’s why the Department of Government Efficiency went nowhere. That’s why the only “efficiency” in the Trump regime is how quickly it devours dissent.
The billionaire in question aimed for $2 trillion in cuts. He delivered barely a fraction of that—$180 billion at most, likely far less if you count the cooked books and fuzzy math. Why? Because you can’t use a weapon of oppression to build a free society. Rothbard said it best: the state will always corrupt and consume anyone who steps inside it.
This isn’t just a fallout. It’s a blueprint. A warning shot. A reminder that no amount of money, tech, or good intentions can tame a fascist regime once it’s entrenched. Trump’s America doesn’t want reform. It wants control—over your job, your wallet, your voice.
And if you think you’re safe because you’re rich, famous, or powerful, think again. Once you're no longer useful, you're out. And the machine rolls on.
