Summary

Elon Musk denied reports that he plans to step down from his role as a special government employee, calling them “fake news.”

The White House and Musk both rejected claims he would leave at the end of his 130-day term on May 30.

DOGE has faced backlash for rapidly dismantling federal agencies and cutting tens of thousands of jobs, prompting lawsuits and threats against Musk’s team.

      Nah, it’s just a rumor started most likely by Musk himself. Pretty sure it was a ploy to halt the Tesla stock sell offs. It started around the same time another rumor that the Tesla board was going to ask him to step down.

      It’s the same trick trump was doing his last term, lie to publishers and then accuse them of not being trustworthy for printing unsubstantiated rumors.

    So as a thought experiment, if he does get pushed out by Trump then he’ll have been rejected by the right and the left. What in the world would the world’s richest man do at that point to redeem himself in his eyes? Any chance we can inception him to go to war against oil or something positive like that?

      The only people who care about that shit are common folk. Tesla is still doing well because those who care about money still think he’s a tech genius that will invent the next great idea - robots, AGI, space colonies - and investing in/high evaluations of Tesla is investing in Elon.

      Elon’s feelings might be hurt if commoners reject him, but he’s still going to have plenty of friends and opportunities. Once you’re wealthy, your social circle stops being about other personal values and become entirely about money and power. Which he still has plenty of.

    I bet he’ll stick around and continue being the fall guy for Republicans. Their base will continue to place all the blame on Musk while the Republicans fuck us all.

      This piece of shit fears for his life already and is still going.

      Nothing will meaningfully improve until their graves become public urinals.

    Fall guy convinced he won’t be used as fall guy.

    Since the moment this fuck cozied up with the Soiled-Diaper-Tiny-Handed Rapist, everyone predicted it was just a matter of time before this ran its course.

    this is excellent news.

    the public already hates him. and by wrapping his arms fully around the republicans the people will hate them both even more.
