“Musk’s team said it saved the country $115 billion by slashing wasteful and redundant spending. Not everyone agrees, but he feels he has the country on track and he can step aside.”
Why stay in the house when you lit it on fire.
Saved $115 billion… While the economy tanked by trillions. 🫢
Good job, guys. Work well done! /s
How about just get the fuck out of the government right now? Monday would be great. Here’s your pink slip. Buh bye.
He should step off of a bridge instead
Has everything he needs to wreck u.s. public holdings remotely …?
Lackluster reporting. The article misses the fact that he has to step down as he’s a special government employee and so can only work for 130 days.
Strange that that’s the one law that he decided to follow.
They would keep him on if they wanted to, he’s insufferable to the point that the weirdo accelerationist psudeo-nazi death cult can’t tolerate him.
The Russian constitution omly allowed 2 consecutive terms.
Putin endorsed Medvedev, who served 1 term, then Putin resumed power afterwards.
At which point he removed the 2 term restriction.
They’ve already found another placeholder.
Yea ever since he started the doomers have been screeching “4 more years of this!!” when the 130 day limit was always there from the beginning.
Assuming he actually leaves… the damage done will be with us for decades.
The scars from this presidency will rival the scars of the civil war in duration.
I’m sure this announcement will have them on their heels! After 60 days of destroying the administrative state, they’ll just have to acknowledge it was all a good thing and no big deal since he’s “stepping down” right? Right?
He saved the US nothing. He actually cost us money by having all the lawsuits and the loss of services & revenue the US Gov could have had. He did nothing for us. This was a scam to shut down investigations into his businesses and a revenge tour. Breaking the government is not a ‘savings’. So is May the month that they decide to declare martial law because there is an ‘emergency’? Like all the other ‘emergencies’ and ‘national threats’ that they made up? When do they start broadcasting all the news in Russian?
Probably your tax money will also be wasted replacing government buildings and resources that were flogged off for practically nothing, which has been the right wing playbook since Thatcher and Pinochet.
He should be stepping down from a gallows.
a BIG step.
You know when you go to step off a curb, but miscalculate the depth, and end up taking a really big, jarring step down?
Like that, except it’s REALLY jarring.
its always the sudden stop that gets you.
a very very sudden big step
I thought he wasn’t part of DOGE? Haha
Is he going to step down the same way he stepped down from being the CEO of twitter?
This is somehow ominous actually.
There’s no reason to believe him now. Do you think he would willingly give up the power that he gained 2 months ago? Of course not… So even if what he’s saying is technically true, it’s only going to be a piece in his game to amass even more power. Remember, evil m************ like that take as much as they possibly can, for as long as they possibly can, forever.
Yea right it’s all smoke and mirrors
wish he’d step up to the headman’s block
and then kneel down over it.
so he’s only about halfway ‘done’ then? needs another month or two to finish copying every scrap of data and the sabotage of government systems, workflows, policies, procedures, and relationships.
