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.
It would be a real shame… if leftists stopped attacking him after he leaves politics.
Okay, buh-bye.
What does he mean he wants to leave politics? He is not in politics, he did not run for any office and was not voted for by anyone. He is free to leave whenever he wants.
SEE?! Bullying bad people DOES work. I’ve been trying to tell people FOR YEARS.
Who would’ve thought
Also, that’s not how you wear a hat

Good catch, you’re absolutely right 😄
Might be easier if he just stopped being an asshole all the time.
Classic “I can dish it out, but I can’t take it” energy.
Pussy.
“I’m not fired, I quit!”
-Musk, probably.
Note: Musk died on the way back to his home planet.
Billionaire oligarchs should have been stopped by peaceful means like taxes if they didn’t want to be stopped the other way.
There’s really nothing he can do about it at this point short of completely disappearing from the public eye. He’s so thoroughly fucked his reputation that anything associated with him is fucked by extension.
Even if he completely leaves any interaction with politics at all, he still has SpaceX, Twitter, and Tesla that will all maintain his status as a public figure. He’s not going to de-Nazify twitter. Telsas aren’t going to suddenly become good cars without a reputation of being swastikcars.
The only way he could stop being bullied by “the left” is if he sold off every company he owns and disappeared into obscurity. Even then, he’ll still get roasted online all the time. But if he avoids social media he could probably ignore it.
But that would all go directly against his nature. So there’s nothing he realistically would do that could get “the left” to stop being mean to him. It’s the rest of his miserable life.
Bullying Works
specifically the sitting on a man technique
Sound like a sound democratric system, albeit a bit too paternalistic.
It’s especially effective against the mentally ill.
Nobody should listen to this fucking pathetic clown. He’s extremely responsible (due to his sponsoring of the GOP) and aligns himself with vicious attacks on regular people from the right because of “”“DEI”“” and the “woke mob”. Elon is a pathetic scoundrel who lives and breathes hate through every orifice that he inhibits. His words mean nothing.
Responsible or irresponsible?
The “attacks” aren’t going to stop because you walk away, fuckhead
