The damage is long done.
Also remember, you can only be a special government employee for 130 days a year. Just wait till 2026.

After all the laws Trump has broken, you think that's the line he won't cross?
Not one bit. Just funny that today is 130 days from Jan 20. And this is happening now.
They're just saving face. If Trump wanted Musk around, he would stick around. Whether that's in DOGE or some other part of government.
The damage done. Data Irrevocably stolen. He needs to be in prison.
His network of backdoors is already in every computer he could reach.
At this point, burning the whole thing down is the only way to clear this scum out.
Everything needs to be restarted, from the cybersecurity to the housing programs to Congress to the constitution. Absolutely everything needs to be fixed and started over from scratch.
He needs to be in prison.
That's far too generous of a punishment.
Musk becoming (like actually poor like all of us, not rich ppl poor) poor and really irrelevant (and thus completely ignored and not famous at all) would be the best punishment ever for him, even better than prison.
Only one way to view it, disastrous for Musk, the US government, the US people and the world. To think that someone could wreak so much damage in such a short time with so little regard for the consequences is staggering.
It’s not staggering, it’s capitalism.
It's still pretty staggering, even for capitalism. A record-breaking speedrun. The latest of the late stage. One might even call it the final stage.
Russia, Israel and perhaps others contributed in the acceleration.
Is he though ?
Yeah l, they said the same thing like a month ago.
This has to be one of the worst uses of $250 million in history.
Musk's 130-day mandate as a special government employee in the Trump administration was set to expire around May 30.
Thought many speculated before that Trump would let Musk soak up all the DOGE unpopularity and dump him at this time limit.
Don’t buy it till he’s in the ground
I thought he left last month? Weren't there articles about that?
Yup, and probably next month too. He isn't going anywhere, he's just trying to hide from the limelight.
He's going to pretend he's not a nazi to try to save his shitty businesses because the backlash to the reveal was worse than they expected. Too bad republicans don't really care about EVs and democrats aren't buying that he's changed.
Why the fuck do republicans always think somehow they're the majority and everyone agrees with them? I don't understand how the richest person in the world and the most powerful person in the world can't see that most of the world hates them. Even most republicans hate them, but they're just relieved to have any republican in power.
They think they’re majority because their programs are much louder. Moms for liberty hits hundreds of school districts but it’s just one traveling handful of people.
Very true, they also get way more media coverage. Hardly anyone pays attention when a liberal who isn't famous speaks out.
Good, keep boycotting every thing he touches or owns. He needs to end up back in South Africa completely broke when we go and order his extradition for him to stand trial and go to jail...
I know it's a dream, but let me dream ok?
He should leave the being alive administration.
Good
Quid pro bro complete.
They definitely broke up over text
