Legacy media is trying to frame Elon’s departure from DOGE as the result of a falling out with Trump.

-Elon was a special govt employee -Special govt employees can serve 130 days -130 days after January 20th is May 30th, this Friday.

They are either retarded or think you are.

[Bob434]

The media are pathetic and have nothing legitimate to comllain about hence their immature need to invent contoversy where none exists. Besides, truth czuses them physical discomfort, so they avoid it like the plague

[SmokingJoe]

Yup.
Plus Musk has too much to do in his cutting edge companies to work in government for long.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

Elon left BECAUSE he has been betrayed just as we have for DECADES!! There is no fixing this corrupt beast of government, we have voted for AND accepted excuses from these bastards for far too long and NOW we have gone far past the point of NO RETURN!! We had such hopes with the tea party only to have the MANY candidates elected SWALLOWED by the swamp, before that we had the contract with America Newt at the helm Tom Delay the absolute BEST vote whip ever BOTH destroyed and gotten rid of!! NOW the bastards have betrayed Elon after he put EVERYTHING on the line to find the fraud and abuse these bastards on BOTH sides don’t care to fix the corruption and fleecing of us the taxpayer!!! NOT ONE WORD in the Big Beautiful Bill (SPIT) to get rid of this corruption OR bring consequences to those who gained wealth from the corruption!! I am so BEYOND disgusted at this point Trump or no Trump this government is BEYOND REPAIR!!!

Whatever worldly currency Elon sacrificed in the name of MAGA, I pray God rewards him with spiritual currency. Lord, please fill Elon with Your peace.

[SmokingJoe]

Musk left because...

-Elon was a special govt employee -Special govt employees can serve 130 days -130 days after January 20th is May 30th, this Friday.

Plus he has too many cutting edge companies like SpaceX and Neuralink to run, plus Tesla, all of which are in critical need of his skills right now.
Its that simple really.

Trump-Elon Musk falling out?

I would believe that.

The Trump BBB Budget actually increases the deficit.

Elon worked full time for three months finding waste and fraud.

But, Trump still supports deficit spending.

[SmokingJoe]

There was no way Musk was going to work for the government for long.
SpaceX is at a critical stage with Starship. They need Musk there to sort out the Starship problems.
And Tesla is about to launch the very critical Cybercab in a few weeks, followed by Optimus robots.
He can't be a government employee at the same time as take care of these critical issues at his companies at the same time.

[SmokingJoe]

“But, Trump still supports deficit spending. {

Spending/budget starts at the House, not with Trump.
The House always starts the budget.

[samkatz]

It’s all theater i predicted months ago. Musk really got slammed by the typical Tesla customer, sales are hemmoraging. The faster he can distance himself from MAGA world the better. Trump knows this. Doesn’t care. He got Musk to put all the Doge horror stories out there. Time to move on.

WELL STATED TGKC !!! (My statement would have been twice as long but only due to the addition of many cuss words.)

We’re getting closer to:

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

[SmokingJoe]

Tesla's Energy sales have been skyrocketing,
Cybercab sales will reinvigorate car sales, and Optimus sales will be very good.
China sales are very good despite tough competition from the great Chinese EV companies.
I am not too worried about falling Tesla EV sales in Europe, Europe's economies have been going nowhere with Germany, France and the UK growing at less than 1%.
Most of Tesla's new EV sales are going to come from very high population Asia where Musk remains very popular.

THE mainscummedia ONLY KNOWS HOW TO LIE THROUGH THEIR FECES COVERED TEETH !!!

And 49.9% of the people believe anything they hear from them.

[SmokingJoe]

Musk on X:

For the past several days, Tesla has been testing self-driving Model Y cars (no one in driver's seat) on Austin public streets with no incidents.

A month ahead of schedule.

Next month, first self-delivery from factory to customer.

Does anyone give a damn what the MSM says about anything?

I assume what legacy media says is the opposite of the truth, including that Joe Burden has stage 5 prostate cancer. That is a lie fomented to garner sympathy for the old criminal.

[From The Deer Stand]

Is the Big Beautiful Bill just another huge spending bill by a bloated out of control federal government. It seems to be as the deficit explodes. Our government is unable to temper the waste of tax dollars. Come on Trump, let’s get real on the fiscal insanity.

[Nateman]

They are obviously very good friends. The Left has been trying to drive a wedge since day one.

[Nateman]

There is Article V, the Convention Of States.
Never been used . Even an impending Civil War was not enough incentive. The Constitution got Amended by war instead. We could try to use Article V this time around.

[mewzilla]

I do.

It makes a useful measure of Deep State’s desperation. :-)
