Was it your impression he was sticking around for the whole four years? Two years? One year? Where did you get such an impression?

If he was doing such a great job saving the nation, surely he wouldn’t be taking the easy way out, no? Especially since DOGE is commissioned through July 2026?

You didn’t answer the question. Makes you look ill-informed. Situation normal.

Thank you Elon for, above all else, sending millions of deranged Marxists and other assorted lefties worldwide into a spin that will have them foaming at the mouth for years to come.

And this is really all Maga cares about. Who has the problem?

Why doesn't the phrase "Special Government Employee" appear in the NYT article about Musk's "distancing" himself from Trump.

 

I've been trying to read "A Disillusioned Musk, Distanced From Trump, Says He’s Exiting Washington/The billionaire has made clear he is frustrated with the obstacles he encountered as he tried to upend the federal bureaucracy."

 

That piece in the NYT has 5 authors: Tyler Pager, Maggie Haberman, Theodore Schleifer, Jonathan Swan, and Ryan Mac.

 

instead of the phrase "Special Government Employee" — which appears at the post the NYT links — the Times makes it "government employee." And instead of noting the 130-day time limit built into the status of "Special Government Employee," the Times just says "his stint" is "coming to an end."

 

But previously:

 

Ah, yes, here's a NYT article from April 23 — "A Subdued Musk Backs Away From Washington, but His Project Remains" — that ends: "By dialing back the number of days he spends working for the White House, Mr. Musk can also potentially stretch out the 130 days he is allotted as a 'special government employee.'" And here, on April 18 — in "Head of I.R.S. Is Ousted in Treasury’s Power Struggle With Elon Musk"— "As a special government employee, Mr. Musk is allotted 130 days of time on the job. But if he works part time, he may be able to extend his time in government."

 

The names Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan are on both of those.

That's how they judge if something is good or smart.  By the reaction of the their boogeymen.

I'm confused, should he have done MORE cuts? The Libs were crying every time he cut something and now they are trying to poke fun by saying oh he didn't save that much money.

"Truly a pathetic effort. It would have been hard to do worse if he tried."

What a brilliant statement, filled with examples to prove it.

I think Musk is a bit feared by leaders of varied potent factions around the world.
