Summary
MDS (Musk Derangement Syndrome) is completely irrational and possibly worse now than TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). The Democrats have created a cult, and they've now lost control of them. The left is trying to make Elon Musk a bond villain when he's really a hero. Joy Reid: The Mona Lisa of dumb.
They also discussed President Trump's recent decision to sign papers to end the Department of Education, highlighting the potential impacts and reactions. The conversation shifts to Elon Musk, who has become a significant target for criticism, even more so than Trump. They explore the media's portrayal of Musk, including a controversial New York Times report about his Pentagon visit, which was debunked by Sean Parnell.
Clay and Buck discuss how figures like Bernie Sanders and AOC are using Musk as a pivot to reignite class warfare rhetoric, despite the irony of Democrats being heavily supported by wealthy donors. Batya Ungar-Sargon provides a compelling argument dismantling the myth that Republicans are backed by oligarchs, emphasizing that Democrats are the true party of the wealthy.
The hosts also explore the irrational behavior of Musk's detractors, including vandalism and firebombing incidents targeting Tesla dealerships. They reflect on the broader implications of these attacks and the disconnect between builders like Musk and Trump and bureaucrats who hinder progress. Sean Parnell, Top Pentagon Spokesman, joins the show to debunk a fake New York Times report about Musk's Pentagon visit and discusses the top priorities at the Department of Defense, including homeland security, deterring China, and increasing burden-sharing with allies.

| 0:55.6 | morning has officially signed papers to end the Department of Education. We're going to be reacting |
| 1:00.9 | to that. Elon Musk, I think it's really kind of extraordinary, has become even more of a |
| 1:08.6 | target. I bet you would agree with this buck than even Trump himself |
| 1:12.4 | now. I think they've recognized that there are no new attacks they can levy on Trump. I mean, |
| 1:18.4 | once they call you Hitler and the American public goes ahead and votes for you, it's like, |
| 1:23.2 | oh, I don't know that anything is really registering when it comes to the attacks on Trump, but they are coming after Elon with a vengeance. |

| 1:43.8 | And the meeting was designed to try to figure out ways to save more money through Doge. |
| 1:49.4 | It was reported in the New York Times that the meeting, and on its face, I just thought this was crazy, Buck. |
