The buck stops over there, with that other guy....

Too fucking bad, shitstick. When the ship sinks I hope he's chained to the fucking mast.

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.)

Bro mistook a bunch of Russian bots praising him in his echo chamber as real people.

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.

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.

Time for stage two of the plan: shift the blame to the young nobody scapegoats.

kids, this is called gaslighting.

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.

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.

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

Tough shit.

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...

He's a complete cunt of a human. Utterly deplorable gobshite who thinks he's god's gift.

No mention of the judge's decision that the firings were likely illegal? That's some shit journalism.

For the uninformed

Hard to distance yourself from something so massive

Because efficiancy never was the goal. "DOGE" is just a knock-off of Yarvin's "RAGE" (Retire All Government Employees), likely done to both stroke Muskrat's ego, and to obfuscate Yarvin from the "normies".

It just occurred to me that Trump might be Ellen Pao-ing Musk. He knows the tariffs and mass layoffs and deportations are going to crash the economy. He needs a fall guy when it happens.

Do all your unpopular, disastrous policies with an unpopular person standing in front of you, then blame everything on that person and send them packing.

The billionaire bureaucrat has claimed this defense to his organization’s cost-cutting measures before, saying that DOGE simply makes recommendations for cuts to agency heads, and then it’s up to those heads to execute them.

"It's not MY fault they did what I told them to do!"

This asshole is treating these jobs like he treated Twitter. Fire everyone, see what breaks, then hire those people back. Real efficient there! Let's not actually review processes and jobs to see if there are overlaps anywhere. Just get rid of everyone and see what grinds to a halt or is really unpopular with people.

Musk admitted to mistakes in private meetings with GOP lawmakers and pledged to correct them

Please no. I'm not sure the world's ready for more of this ass "fixing" things.

Elon Musk is saving the US money in the same way that not paying your mortgage saves money. The real question to ask is not "how much are we spending on X" but "Are the benefits we receive for paying for X worth it?" No surprise, that deeper analysis is NOT being done because fans of the right are just out for blood in the form of cancelled government programs. After all, why not? Trump has told them for years now that the government lies, that every single program is flush with waste and so on. They are basically getting what they asked for, except they never considered the deeper effects. This is why the right wants uneducated masses. If they aren't using critical thinking skills, they're perfect supporters.

He should be fired from DOGE for giving bad advice and drawing a high salary. Bloody incompetent, such a simple job and he can't even do it.

Hahaha after walking around a stage in front of thousands of people at CPAC carrying a fucking chainsaw.
