Well, that is something.
A political cartoon features a figure resembling former President Donald Trump sitting at a desk, writing a response to an email. The email appears to be from "Elon Musk" and is addressed to "All Federal Employees" with the subject line: "What did you do last week?" The response written in large, bold letters says, "BETRAYED AN ALLY." The cartoon is signed by the artist, Bramhall, and labeled as from the New York Daily News (NYDN). The image was shared by "The Tennessee Holler" with the caption "CARTOON OF THE DAY."
