Sure, he's done. He destroyed agencies which regulate him or against which he had a grudge, fucked up regulation and the social safety net, arranged other things to make rich people money, compromised personal data for basically everyone and helped his buddy Putin. Why stick around?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He may want to impregnate some public sector employees.
it’s just because a “special government employee” can only be there without clearance 120 days. it was always going to be like this, sadly this isn’t any kind of win.
Damage: done. Consequences: none.
He should definitely design the next Tesla car. The Cybertruck must be surpassed as the worst vehicle.
Cybertruck 2!
Geez, like anyone's going to miss him. I've never seen anyone self-destruct like Elon has. If he makes a comeback it'll be the most miraculous ever.
He's still the richest man in the world, so there's a long way he can fall.
Well, he did manage to destroy a lot more than just himself.
Seems like the stock was priced high because people thought the company would be growing. Now it is way down for the year but similar to where it was before the election. Was revenues dropping 20% priced in before the election? Seems unlikely. I would imagine Musk's likely influence over the Trump admin from his massive donations was probably priced in, but isn't that going to wane with his special employee status ending? Is Trump really going to continue to give tariff protections and White House advertising to Tesla without Musk ponying up more money?
Tesla stock was never tied to reality in anyway. It should price adjust.
