Elon Musk says Department of Education no longer ‘exists,’ per MSNBC
This is blowing up on X
Only source is quoting MSNBC
Not sure why Musk would tell them but not others
Take with grain of salt

Wunderbar....
Confirmed fake news.
Trump can fire the employees but he can’t dismantle the department.
I would think Congress needs to approve all these changes ?
Not to be believed until it is official.
This is a reply tweet on X from 2 days ago
Maybe MSNBC is just now reporting on that

What is this “Department of Education” you keep talking about?
I just checked and it doesn’t exist.
Be careful with sources on X. People intentionally put crap out there to get impressions. Impressions drive monetization on X. So people put out unsourced takes, polls, controversial opinions etc in hopes of attracting traffic.
After they spin MSNBC off their new logo is gonna be a brown stain….they must be soiling themselves…
That’s wonderful, if true.
Thank you, Jimmuh Catah!
MSNBC trying to incite an insurrection?
If so, huge fail.
Can’t think of anyone who really cares if there is no Department of Education other than the teacher’s unions.
Frankly for all the good it did, I’m not sure if it ever existed.

He didn't say "no longer exists". Seems to me that Elon is talking about the Constitution not mentioning a Dept of Edu.
It doesn’t mention DOGE either.
Elon is people.
I think DOE is a presidential creation. If so and not then run through Congress, he can eliminate it.
where is the msnbc clip?
That’s correct.
I guess nobody told Musk and DOGE that some Obama activist judge in NY shut him down. LOL!
