So it looks like Musk is out by the end of May. In case anyone missed it, Musk over promised with his promise of 2,000 billion government savings, and under performed with what he estimates will be 150 billion in savings. It is noted that there has been no independent audit of the actual savings, and there’s all kinds of shady reporting going on, such as counting as savings the elimination of programs that never actually started (in other words, no actual saving). It is also noted that he’ll be bailing before the start of anticipated lawsuits, public backlash for lost jobs and government offices that don’t function properly, etc.
Both Trump and JD Vance have stated in interviews over the past few days that Musk would eventually leave the administration and the “department of government efficiency” (Doge) that he founded, their most direct statements yet on his tenure. Politico also reported on Wednesday that Trump had told members of his inner circle that the Tesla CEO would be departing in the coming weeks, though Musk called the article “fake news”. Musk is a “special government employee”, a designation that technically carries a 130-day term that, depending on how the administration chooses to log those days, could run out at the end of May.

DOGE cuts hit Americans where it hurts
I wonder how much fraud DOGE is actually producing in the aim of fooling foolish americans and weird cheerleaders
Really smart people lying (I mean lies that can be easily verified as such), and presenting cooked numbers (just do a tiny bit of thinking and and research, and you can see them all over the place). Smart guys so they know exactly what they’re doing. It boggles the mind that they are not more vehemently called out on these things.
I’m more boggled by the mental gymnastics, smears, and intellectual dishonesty (or maybe just stupidity) employed by the worldwide fanclub to cheer them on like they are solving more problems than they are causing
