Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the quiet part out loud. The resistance to Elon Musk’s DOGE in DC is because lobbyists want our tax money “to keep flowing into their pockets”

“I am completely aligned with what Elon's doing”

Scott Bessent says if you don’t move as quickly as Elon Musk is moving, the lobbyist will stop DOGE

“Everyone says, do you have to do it so fast? Like I said, I've only been in this business for 7 weeks. I've only been in DC for 8 weeks. The thing I can tell you is if you don't move fast, the vested interest will weigh you down — Everybody's got lobbyists, I mean think about it, within a 10 mile radius of here, 25% of the GDP of the US pulsates through here every day. And everybody wants to just skim a little.”

“I said to Elon, people are mad at you because you're moving their cheese. It's not their cheese, it's the American people's cheese. 100%. Every dollar spent goes into someone's pocket and that person's going to fight tooth and nail to get that dollar to keep flowing into their pockets”

“There is no winning in Elon's role. Every single time he takes action, there are people that are going to come after him” https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/1903589750285742118
