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.
Keep bullying him.
Elon Musk should face justice for being a foreign insurgent.
After that, he can do whatever.
So encouraging suicide is okay now??
Well, you know, it depends. The person you are encouraging is planning to kill thousands or even millions directly or indirectly with their politics?
Because there could be a difference between an anonymous person and a potential mass murderer.
Why not? Say what you will about Adolf Hitler, but at least he went out with a bang!
See? Bullying fascism works. It’s the only thing that works. Fascism is fought with violence (physical or otherwise) as it’s the only language that it understands.
When an opponent doesn’t care about rules, playing by those rules only puts you at disadvantage.
Except he’s already acquired the data he needs and shipped it over to his Russian handlers.

Bullying power in general as well. Progressives have been too soft on liberals too and always let them run the show. But the reality is it’s always harder to rally people when things seem to be going ok and the crisis is muffled rather than blatantly obvious. Kinda how we never go to the dentist when nothing hurts even though we really shouldn’t wait until it does. Anyway, hope something meaningful comes of this resistance because this fascist stage is still a stage of neoliberalism, like that’s where the root cause is.
I know it’s not your point, but you really should go to the dentist regularly, not just when something hurts. Take care of your teeth and they’ll take care of you!
