That's true but we know he's lying and even though they say Musk is totally gone, Don't believe it so quickly. He's too rich, too powerful, and they want his money too much.
We know that they want to distance themselves from him in the newspapers, but we don't know anything else.
I don't think he's as stupid as Trump or Musk. Well, his ideas are pretty stupid, but in every clip I see of him (or at least that one where he's talking about 'flooding the zone'), he seems to be taking great glee in fucking everything up like it's all a big laugh and people aren't fucking dying, and that he knows exactly what he's doing.
