Summary
Elon Musk is distancing himself from sweeping federal job cuts linked to DOGE, blaming agency heads—not DOGE—responsible for mass layoffs, including the announced 70,000 job cut at Veterans Affairs.
Despite claiming DOGE’s role as merely advisory, Musk admitted to mistakes in private meetings with GOP lawmakers and pledged to correct them.
Some cuts have already been reversed, with a Trump administration memo clarifying agencies are not required to fire probationary employees (new hires).
Too fucking bad, shitstick. When the ship sinks I hope he’s chained to the fucking mast.
I upvoted because this isn’t reddit.
I was going to upvote it however it currently has 69 upvotes.
Man, fuck this guy. 100000% all him. You don’t get to distance yourself from this when you’re the one holding the bloody knife. Fuck everything this guy does. Every single day this guy needs to be reminded of how much of a fuck up he is.
The world would instantly become a much better place if he killed himself right now
It’d become an even better place if we the people killed him.
We are currently at stage 4. Neat.
No mention of the judge’s decision that the firings were likely illegal? That’s some shit journalism.
Musk privately acknowledged that he’d made some massive missteps, and that he “can’t bat a thousand all the time,”
You got rid of all the gear for your team, you’re not batting at all wtf
Bro mistook a bunch of Russian bots praising him in his echo chamber as real people.
Someone should tell Trump that he can just confiscate all of Musk’s assets at any time and instantly become the richest man in the world.
(The truth of this statement is not relevant to whether Trump should be told this.)
This is because Trump slipped up at his address to Congress and called Musk the head of the agency when he’s legally not supposed to be. Now they’re just playing the game of zero integrity and trying to twist things around to pretend that he’s not the one making all the decisions because it’s illegal and lawmakers picked up on Trump’s slip up.
Elon Musk’s boards and shareholders don’t want Musk having credit for Musk’s involvement with Disastrous DOGE Cuts. Elon wouldn’t have been on a stage with a chainsaw if Elon didn’t want credit.
The buck stops over there, with that other guy…
If you were the richest person in the entire world, by a huge margin!!! Would you start working in the government and have tons of responsibilities? Or would you retire and live the life you’ve dreamed of?
This guy is insane.
wanting that much money requires it.
having that much money also inflicts it on you.
no more billionaires. for their sake, as much as ours.
I agree with the sentiment, except that it’s much more for ours.
okay, yes, their lives really don’t matter, it’s just good for them too, and if they were rationally self interested they would want it.
This guy is insane.
Pretty sure he’s got “a” personality disorder that makes him crave being in the spotlight, and the dude isn’t smart or socially aware enough to understand just how little the dude knows. Leading him to doing more and more stupid shit to stay in the spotlight and scrambling to unfuck himself after the fact. On some level, it would be funny how he’s been tripping over his dick and failing upward his whole life. Ya know, if he weren’t currently destroying the country and all that.
He’s said he’s scared for his life. I think that’s reasonable given the amount of people he’s pissing off. It’s only a matter of time…
Yeah, considering he paid for a role in a fascist administration that he pushed in a fascist direction and bought a propaganda outlet for he should be afraid for his life. He’s basically set himself up as a fall guy for a reconstruction government, especially if Trump keels over first.
Franco’s life was under threat until the great assassin of time finally came for him. At which point his government fell.
And I don’t feel sorry for him because I’m over here just living my life and he’s trying to get people to hurt me and people like me instead
This is why that fucking creep uses his son as a prop and headshot shield.
Remember he ditched his human shield on stage
No he didn’t, don’t spread misinformation. He’s a piece of shit just using his kid as a meat shield, but in the actual clip he just walked a few steps and the kid ran a different way but as soon as he noticed he went to go get him.
Exactly. He’s fucked over countless veterans with military training and most likely a shitload of guns and ammo. Good fuckin luck bud .
I’m just counting the days and hoping I’ll open the news one day to see a front page story that makes me super happy
Let us pray that the patron saint Luigi watches over him night and day.
