The Left and the media keep claiming that DOGE is only targeting left-wing pork and not programs that benefit conservatives.

But the Trump Transportation Department is ordering a halt to a $7.5 billion Biden program to build electric charging stations in all 50 states. The program passed almost four years ago, but has so far installed a total of just – count ’em – 55 stations. And guess who is one of the biggest beneficiaries of that historically wasteful boondoggle: Elon Musk and Tesla.

As we’ve reported many times on these pages, the original Biden goal was to have half a million chargers up and running by 2030.  This is the program that former Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will be defending (good luck!) when he runs for the U.S. Senate in Michigan next year.

Lawsuits are already being filed demanding that Trump “unfreeze” the pause that blocks federal money for chargers flowing to state agencies.

Musk’s Tesla electric car company has received at least $31 million in federal funding for charging stations, or about 6% of the money already allocated. It also won’t be happy with Trump revoking the 2021 Biden executive order that strived to make 50% of new vehicle sales electric or plug-in hybrids by 2030.

Will this stop progressives and the media from charging that Musk is using DOGE to make himself richer? Nah.
