Cenk Uygur, founder and lead host of The Young Turks, appears to have distanced himself from his party’s usual rhetoric.
In the wake of Kamala Harris’s crushing defeat, Uygur is not only lambasting his own party but cozying up to unlikely allies, including Elon Musk and even Donald Trump Jr.
Earlier this year, Uygur stunned his base when he announced he was “considering” voting for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. instead of Joe Biden. On his show, Uygur accused the Democrat establishment of sabotaging democracy to maintain its grip on power.
HE’s now sucking up to ELON and DJT.
Does this show ELONS influence and power?????
Uygur’s disillusionment didn’t stop at criticism; it veered into the bizarre when he pitched himself to Elon Musk as a potential ally in slashing government waste. Responding to Musk’s calls for budget efficiency, Uygur volunteered:
“Hey Elon Musk, put me in charge of the Pentagon. I’ll slash $400B easy. That’ll get you 20% to your goal of $2T, right out of the gate. I went to Wharton three years before you. I own a media company, so I know how to run a business. If you really want to cut, put me in, coach.”
Musk’s response? Surprisingly open: “Specific suggestions are welcome.”
Uygur doubled down, suggesting a ten-year ban on generals taking jobs with defense contractors to curb wasteful spending. The idea earned him a rare nod from Donald Trump Jr., who called it “a great idea that has been discussed.”
I asked @elonmusk to put me in charge of cutting the Pentagon. And he said – what are your suggestions? I run the largest left-wing network online and a Democratic leader has NEVER asked me that question. The idea that they would take advice from a populist is disdainful to them.

When I became a Democrat, it was the more tolerant party. Republicans were run by religious nut jobs and corporate robots. Now, the Democrats are in a lot of ways the less tolerant party.
The least tolerant part is actually the establishment wing of the party that says anyone…

As you know, you’d need to see the line items in the budget, but I have one suggestion already. The generals are not allowed to get a job with defense contractors for ten years. They authorize so much wasteful spending because they’re going to get hired by those same companies.
