Speculation of Tesla CEO’s possible departure comes as his influence in the administration appears to wane
Elon Musk is reportedly set to leave his government role because he’s tired of the what he sees as a litany of vicious and unethical attacks from the left, according to a report from The Washington Post.
It remains unclear when Musk will depart as head of DOGE; his special government employee status will expire at the end of next month. A person familiar with his thinking told The Post that Musk thinks that his work at DOGE won’t be diminished because of his departure, noting that staffers have already established themselves across a slew of federal agencies.
But speculation of Musk’s possible departure comes as his influence in the administration appears to wane. The New York Times reported last week that the acting commissioner of the IRS was being replaced after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent complained that Musk had his preferred candidate installed without Bessent’s support. Musk has also annoyed other cabinet members by failing to coordinate with them in cost-cutting moves.

Okay, but how do you really feel?
He is the richest man in the world. He has every resource available to him. He constantly punches down. He doesn’t deserve any sympathy.
You can’t buy a likable personality.
He tried, but he colflated a person on the leaderboard of a video game with a likeable personality
(No offense to likeable people on leaderboards)
Exactly, Muskrat expected to be able to shit on and ruin peoples lives and get ZERO push back.
Still hope your businesses all get destroyed.
Until Trump and friends give him inside trading advice, they will. (Allegedly)
[Gives Nazi salute.]
“Why are people attacking me? They must hate efficiency.”
Don’t forgot he’s been just incredibly big headed, disrespectful, and an insufferable jag off to pretty much every single person that doesn’t worship the ground he walks on. How someone can be that mean and rude to just about everyone, then call foul when people don’t like him and STILL have people confused why so many people act negatively towards him is so damn annoying.
What a pussy.
Call yourself Dark Maga. Cry and run when the heat gets hot.
Pussy.
“The left is attacking me.”
Consequences? Me? But I’m rich and cool!
Facts don’t care about your feelings.
Politics is a form of negotiation with other elements of leadership to make a nation’s major policy decisions.
Musk, you never DID get involved in politics. You hired a private army and got involved in criminal intimidation.
I think he means “tired of the pushback and profit loss from actively bribing the system into becoming the shadow POTUS running the world behind the scenes”.
How else could he attempt to advance to Mars Colonization, his lifelong dream as someone with a God-Iron-Man-Savior complex, during his lifetime?
He knows with the current progress rate he could help pave the way to Mars for humanity, but not live the dream himself, or take full credit for that achievement. And we know just how “selfless” he is.
He realized that he pissed off the people that were buying his cars. Sorry my dude, this is your identity now. We will not forget.
This is just posturing to make people feel like we’re not speed running towards fascism. I doubt that there will be any slow down behind the scenes
Alternative title. One of the richest men in history can’t find happiness and shifts blame away from his terrible decisions, stolen valor video game clout, fascism, and fucking over poor people. Decides to radically change the modern world because supposedly it wasn’t working out for him, then cries that people don’t like him.
You keep pressing it until it hurts, then you know where to look.
Whether he stays or goes, he’ll still be a cunt.
