The whole country is well aware that the Depart of Governmental Eradication (DOGE) (the term was from my friend and fellow blogger John at JR Liming Blog) we know that government cuts are running deep…..some were possibly necessary but the hard ones effect you and your family the most.
There is a report traveling around the media circus that Elmo will soon depart the scene….
Companies including Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink might soon be getting more attention from their CEO. Politico, citing “three Trump insiders,” reported Wednesday that President Trump recently told his inner circle, including Cabinet members, that Musk would soon be stepping back from his role in the administration. In a post on X, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt denied that the news was a “scoop,” saying Musk and Trump have both publicly stated “that Elon will depart from public service as a special government employee when his incredible work at DOGE is complete.” It had been widely rumored that Musk would be staying in the administration for a lot longer, ABC News reports.
According to Politico, Trump is pleased with Musk’s work, but some of the president’s allies inside and outside the administration are “frustrated with his unpredictability and increasingly view the billionaire as a political liability.” In the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, nobody “expended more political capital” than Musk, “with the possible exception of the candidates,” the New York Times notes. But Trump began talking about a Musk exit well before Tuesday’s vote and discussed his return to the private sector at a Cabinet meeting last week, sources tell outlets including NBC News.
On Monday, Trump said Musk has a “big company to run, and so at some point, he’s going to be going back.” Musk has also suggested he could be leaving his role in government in the near future. During a Fox News interview last week, host Bret Baier asked Musk whether he plans to stay beyond the 130 days this year permitted under his “special government employee” status, during which he’s exempt from certain ethics and conflict-of-interest rules. Musk replied: “I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by $1 trillion within that timeframe.” The 130 days will be up in May—or July, if only weekdays are counted—but Politico’s sources say Musk is expected to have an informal role as an occasional White House adviser long after that.
You mean that smug piece of crap will depart?
Here is the article in Politico…..
Musk’s looming exit comes as some Trump administration insiders and many outside allies have become frustrated with his unpredictability and increasingly view the billionaire as a political liability, a dynamic that was thrown into stark relief Tuesday when a conservative judge Musk vocally supported lost his bid for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat by 10 points.

I guess he has sufficiently eliminated all the competition for his companies….leaving the door open for him to scam and steal billions more for his smug ass.
This is great news, hopefully, for the bastard should leave he really should have never there.
But what will it mean if and when this tool departs to the Little Donny sphere?
What will it mean for us, the average American?
What will Donny do without someone to run cover while he tees off?
I say about time and do not wish this prick any success now or ever.
Whatcha gotta say?

“lego ergo scribo”
Musk has lost hundreds of millions in the fall of Tesla share prices in little over a month. His presence around The White House is irritating staffers and journalists, and his antics have dragged Trump into the ridicule. It feels as if his days are numbered, and I suspect Vance wants to step up and fill the void. JD can smell Trump’s decline, and has his heart set on succeeding the Orange One before his term is up. On top of all that, people are starting to ask where all the billions of so-called savings have gone. They are calling Elon’s bluff.
Best wishes, Pete.
Yep he is about as popular as a rattlesnake in heat….time for him to go and go quickly. chuq
