Speculation of Tesla CEO’s possible departure comes as his influence in the administration appears to wane

Elon Musk is reportedly set to leave his government role because he’s tired of the what he sees as a litany of vicious and unethical attacks from the left, according to a report from The Washington Post.

It remains unclear when Musk will depart as head of DOGE; his special government employee status will expire at the end of next month. A person familiar with his thinking told The Post that Musk thinks that his work at DOGE won’t be diminished because of his departure, noting that staffers have already established themselves across a slew of federal agencies.

But speculation of Musk’s possible departure comes as his influence in the administration appears to wane. The New York Times reported last week that the acting commissioner of the IRS was being replaced after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent complained that Musk had his preferred candidate installed without Bessent’s support. Musk has also annoyed other cabinet members by failing to coordinate with them in cost-cutting moves.

      Call of duty is a shitty series with shitty fans who you seem to be bragging about their *-phobic views. That’s nothing to brag about.

        Im not bragging, personally I hate the cod community and its toxicity, just saying that if he can’t handle some trolling in his game chat then he wouldn’t last a minute playing cod before crying to cruella de vil

          That’s fair. He definitely is more of a troll than he could stand dished back at him.
