Has Musk Worn Out His Welcome? (A: Yes)

 

Co-President South Afrikaner albatross Elon "Leon" Musk seems to be setting the stage for an exit from his historically destructive stint in government:

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. [Ed.: "vicious and unethical": truthful]

It remains unclear when Musk will depart as head of the Department of Government Efficiency; 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. 

Meanwhile, Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives has said that Musk should leave his government role and once again focus his efforts on Tesla, arguing that the company is facing a “code red” moment.  

“Musk needs to leave the government, take a major step back on DOGE, and get back to being CEO of Tesla full-time,” Ives wrote to clients on Sunday, according to Bloomberg. “Tesla is Musk and Musk is Tesla....and anyone that thinks the brand damage Musk has inflicted is not a real thing, spend some time speaking to car buyers in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. You will think differently after those discussions.”

“Tesla has unfortunately become a political symbol globally of the Trump Administration/DOGE,” Ives added, going on to argue that the company faces “potentially 15 percent—20 percent permanent demand destruction for future Tesla buyers due to the brand damage Musk has created with DOGE.”...

The ketamine-fueled fascist with dreams of populating the Earth with his spawn can go back to running Tesla into the ground for all we care, just as he left Twitter a smoking ruin.  The brand, as long as "Leon" is involved, is in a death spiral, thanks to his embrace of the Malignant Fascist, his bizarre ideas and lack of empathy, and his destruction of government programs promoting health, science, and the general welfare.  His 100 day reign of terror has permanently altered the functioning of government, and not for the better.  He's another example, like the Malignant Fascist and his Clown Cabinet, of a completely unqualified and incompetent person with far more power than sense.
