The departure of a man who once appointed himself Trump’s “first buddy” was quick and unceremonious. Musk did not have a formal conversation with Trump before announcing he was leaving the administration, according to a source with knowledge of the matter, who added that his exit was decided “at a senior staff level.”

    He broke with Trump over the Big Beautiful Billionare Enrichment Bill? Was his cut not big enough?

    I really think this is just about him wanting to stop pissing off Tesla customers and get people to go back to buying his cars. I don’t believe at all that this break is legit.

      People will still not buy Teslas. Even if he stops gutting important government offices, he’s still a fucking nazi.

    Even if this is true the damage he managed to do in just a few months will continue for a long time. Go fuck yourself, Elon.

    May he take a long walk off a very short, but very tall, bridge.

    Not that it matters much that he is “leaving” DOGE as I’m sure his cronies will continue his “work” for him.

    I don’t think so. You don’t buy the us presidency for hundreds of millions just to give up after a few months. He’ll just pretend to work at Tesla while actually continuing be the president

    I’ve done my job, like I always do. I made myself important and in the spotlights, I destroyed everything, I’m leaving behind ruins and a pile of shit. It costed the tax payers a lot of agony and money, but I had a lot of fun and I made a lot of money so it was worth it. Thank you!
