Economy Elon Musk quits trump admin

[nhbbear]

Elon has stated he will step away from doge and the trump admin after he criticized the big beautiful bill. He has cited the staggering amount of debt this bill will add as his reason for his criticism. He will resign by end of may (2 days). The love affair is over. Maybe trump grabbed him by the pussy or something.

Pretty terrible framing. He doesn’t blame Trump, he blames congress and hopes the recession bills will make the cuts. He and Trump are still on very good terms

Mainly, his position as a special government employee is given 130 calendar days per year, which is hit on 5/30

Most of the DOGE crew is remaining

Let's not act like he won't have any impact on Trump decisions going forward

 

[MichiganMMA1978]

If I recall correctly, he said months ago that he’d be stepping down in June or July

He said in April that he would be stepping back but made this abrupt decision yesterday when he posted it on X

Lmao Trump has been campaigning on these tax cuts for like 2 fucking years, this is Trump's bill.

What's impossible to believe is that somehow "high IQ" Elon didn't see this coming. He's full of shit.

Yea, that the congress congress is writing, not trump. Trump was also very unhappy with a lot of GOP members in the house and now has a lot of work to go in the senate.

He is still going to be an unofficial advisor to trump

While Musk is leaving the White House, he'll continue as unofficial adviser, official says

Elon Musk is set to depart the Trump administration and leave his role as a "special government employee," a White House official told ABC News.

DOGE's savings were a failure and Elon destroyed his reputation.

He did throw a wrench into agencies that were/could investigate him though, and probably made off with a lot of our data, and got people like Lyin' Ted Cruz to blow him, so there were consolation prizes, I suppose?

 

[Kingz]

Could’ve sworn he stepped away a few weeks ago.

mayhaps.

 

[Confucamus]

Thought he already stepped away. This is old news.

 

[DragRacer]

The special counsel, like stated earlier, is limited to 130 days max. This was all he was ever going to do from the start.

Like Trump needs any help in that dept.

 

[calavera2]

Still in awe at what transpired...a foreign actor was allowed to buy the sitting us president and was then allowed unfettered access to all our critical infrastructure...just ran rampant in all our systems under the guise of cutting fraud and waste only to end up with a staggering bloated fraudulent budget.. truly amazing

 

[gspieler]

All for show?

I meant elon staying a billionaire

What Trump does will automatically help the wealthy, though. I get what you're saying. He may not do very specific things that benefit Elon and Elon alone, right?
