Honestly, I hope Musk throws a temper tantrum and just starts leaking shit like crazy. He’s unstable and unhinged enough that I wouldn’t put it past him, especially since he basically paid for this election.
Maybe we can convince Musk that we’d all find him really cool and based if he did that
Musk will not be able to handle losing the spotlight
Yeah, I hope that plays out too, and it’s never out of the question with how unhinged and drugged up Musk is, but unfortunately I think this is less Musk stepping back for real and more of a bullshit PR move to get some of the heat off of Trump and Elon both -
The president remains pleased with Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency initiative, but both men have decided in recent days that it will soon be time for Musk to return to his businesses and take on a supporting role, according to three Trump insiders who were granted anonymity to describe the evolving relationship.
…
One senior administration official said Musk is likely to retain an informal role as an adviser and continue to be an occasional face around the White House grounds. Another cautioned that anyone who thinks Musk is going to disappear entirely from Trump’s orbit is “fooling themselves.”
The transition, the insiders said, is likely to correspond to the end of Musk’s time as a “special government employee,” a special status that temporarily exempts him from some ethics and conflict-of-interest rules. That 130-day period is expected to expire in late May or early June.
Here’s hoping they can find all the backdoors that Big Balls or whatever put into all the government software to funnel money or accelerate the collapse or whatever if/when sane people once again are in control.
I kind of doubt this. I think he’s taking a step back. Shrinking into the Shadows Maybe. But I doubt that much money is being abandoned by Trump. And even if musk does step back all of his cronies are still working. I’ll bet dollars to Donuts that the Trump Administration is still going to do what musk wants them to do. It was a true break it wouldn’t be planned. It’d be abrupt and messy.
Trump lies all the time. He could easily be lying here. I don’t believe anything til it actually happens.
Elon thinking leaving now will change public opinion of him.
Nah bro, I wouldn’t even piss on you if you were somehow on fire.
Hm… Is his mouth open? I could be convinced to shart in his general direction.
If he were on fire I’d love to fan the flames. What a story for my grandkids that would be.
Because trump hates loser. Trump puts the wisconsin election blame solely on him and that’s it.
A “special Government employee” (or “SGE”) is an officer or employee in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government who is appointed to perform important […] for a period not to exceed 130 days during any period of 365 consecutive days.

May 30th is 130 days from Jan 20th.
They can just declare that the passage of time has stopped, like they did for the national security exemption allowed by for the tariffs.
God they’re going to say everything people are angry about was Musks fault and try to shift the blame.
Probably but musk actually needs to go away, first.
Now he can focus on driving his companies into the ground.
Porque no los dos?

I’ve got a poop knife that might help
Rare poop knife reference— take my upvote fellow keeper of lore
I really do have one. My daughter poops softballs sometimes lol.
Well, considering that pretty much everything he says is a lie, I’m going to assume that Elon will be around for a long time.
Not shocking, although it was quicker than I expected. I was thinking more towards the end of the year once he got everything he wanted, but I think he is taking too much heat even for his comfort.
The only enjoyable part is knowing that the people can make it bad enough that they will leave.
Historically speaking, stealing Trump’s spotlight for 3 months is actually a contender for the record.
“Leave” from public view. That is all people on the right ask of Musk. They are okay with his interference and interventions. He just makes himself too much of a target by being publicly visible.
You can’t be the shadow government when you’re exposed to sunlight. Then again, the brain behind the entire operation never stepped out of the shadows and will remain there. Peter Thiel.
It should be common knowledge that Thiel wrote the actual manual for all of this shit as far back as 2009. The Education of a Libertarian, ironically enough. He really believes in his own bullshit, too.
Yeah. He also said he’s “mad at Putin” this week as well.
It’s downright shocking that a man that rich doesn’t know a fall guy when he sees one.
That would require not being blinded by his own ego.
Which one are you talking about here?
I assumed we were talking about Musk.
Are they finally deporting that filthy African Nazi swine back to Africa? Please let it be that he’s being deported back. Fuck Musk 🖕
Yeah, it TOTALLY doesn’t have anything to do with him getting caught tripping balls on camera right next to his lady friend at the White House table who was so disassociated that the poor girl couldn’t stop stimming.
Stimming?

Basically, the rocking back and forth she’s doing as a coping behavior.
