April Fools?
I'll believe it when there's a source other than the Daily Fail.
EDIT: I (retch) read the article and the headline is completely misleading, which once again isn't a shocker from the Daily Fail. There is no evidence whatsoever that Musk has "dramatically stepped down."
I’d like to believe this, but the Daily Fail is one of the least reliable sources possible.
- It's also front page news on Politico https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/04/02/trump-musk-leaving-political-liability-00265784
- He wasn't leading it before officially. But everyone knows he was the 'head' of DOGE. The only sad part about this news is that now Elon will start to claim, that if he was still in charge, DOGE would have totally worked. All those MAGA fuckers are not man enough to drive their train they sabotaged the breaks on into the ground. They all back off when things get heated, only to thenclaim that if they were still in charge, things would be better.
  
  I see you have lived through at least one republican/democrat election cycle.
- Yeah they're just shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic
- He'll put on a pair of funny glasses and a mustache with a beard and hat and tell people he's no longer there.
Changes nothing.
His job is done, that’s it. He paid off trump to be able to dismantle all of the agencies suing/investigating all his companies and then took care of some of the heritage foundations “pests” while he was at it. He’s not stepping down, he’s moving on.
If Tesla stocks rebound, rich people are even dumber than I had thought. Makes you laugh even harder at the thought of America as a meritocracy.
When things are starting falling apart and it's becoming clearer who is responsible, that's the time to step down to avoid blame.
