Matt Drudge is stirring the pot! The iconic journalist just unleashed a spicy blast from the past, digging up an old New York Daily News cover that could make both Donald Trump and his billionaire buddy Elon Musk cringe. On X (formerly Twitter), Drudge shared the vintage headline, “Soak the Rich,” which featured a young Trump advocating for a one-time mega-tax on billionaires to wipe out national debt. The irony? Musk, one of Trump’s most vocal supporters today, is exactly the kind of billionaire Trump once wanted to target.

Drudge didn’t hold back, captioning the post with a zinger: “Old Don wanted tax on billionaires. From socialist to fascist.” Ouch! The jab is crystal clear—Drudge is calling out Trump’s wild political evolution and dragging Musk into the mess for good measure. The billionaire tech mogul, who once dreamed of colonizing Mars, now finds himself at the heart of Trump’s MAGA camp, donating a whopping $75 million to support Trump’s agenda. But is Musk really a die-hard Trump fan? Or is it all about saving himself from paying those hefty taxes?

Let’s rewind to the late ‘90s when Trump was pushing a 14.25% tax on the ultra-rich—those with a net worth over $10 million. Back then, Trump argued this wealth tax could erase the national debt. Fast forward to his time as president, and suddenly, Trump’s cutting taxes for the rich, with policies that benefited Musk and his billionaire buddies. Now, Trump’s promising to extend those tax cuts if he makes it back to the White House. Convenient much?

Musk, who has transformed from a visionary tech hero to a right-wing mouthpiece, hasn’t responded yet to Drudge’s savage tweet. But the internet sure has plenty to say. The billionaire’s cozy relationship with Trump, despite the latter’s past stance on taxing people like him, is raising eyebrows. Has Musk’s political shift been about more than ideology—like, say, a massive tax break?

Drudge’s trolling might just be the latest salvo in a brewing storm. It reminded everyone that when it comes to power, politics, and money, nothing stays the same for long.
