Trump privately indicates Musk to step back from administration after government employee status expires: Sources
President Donald Trump indicated to top advisers that Elon Musk could be taking a step back from his current role, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
Summary
Trump has privately signaled that Elon Musk will likely step back from his role as a special government employee when his 130-day term ends in May, sources told ABC News.
Though some aides hoped to extend Musk’s appointment, internal divisions and public controversy have made that unlikely.
Trump praised Musk’s work with DOGE but acknowledged he will “go back and run Tesla.”
White House officials have shifted to managing Musk’s influence until his term expires. The White House confirmed Musk will leave when his role concludes.
Aww now he isn't gonna get to use his chainsaw anymore...
I'll believe it when I see it. But if it's true I'll guarantee you it's in response to basically every county in Wisconsin shifting to the left in their recent Supreme Court election despite elon wasting millions on trying to rig it.
Trump decided that Musk status as billionaire is top priority so that they can use Musk to buy elections around the country
Yeah, and now that Musk is unpopular with conservatives, Trump will still use Musk to buy elections but we just won't hear about it (if they're smart).
Scapegoat got fired.
But but... He said he loves Tesler
He’s been useful, but it’s starting to hurt his pocketbook. So he steps back, people start buying teslas again in 6 months, trump doesn’t get the blame, they win.
Elon is not coming back from this. His image as a genius businessman is gone. The left will not forgive him heiling on stage. If he loses MAGA's support he will be left without a fan base. Hard to imagine this man-child not just completely disintegrating because of this.
I really hope you’re right.
Fun fact: the term “quisling” (a traitor who collaborates with an enemy force occupying their country) is due to the actions of Vidkun Quisling during WW2. Musk already means something, alas.
On one hand, good riddance to the arm-raising bulldozer destroying the foundations supporting us, The People, on the other hand, I don't trust any trump administration dipshit numbnuts to take over anything technological since they can't handle basic signal group chats.
I suppose fuck-it-up-and-leave is his M.O.
I suppose fuck-it-up-and-leave is his M.O.
Yep. Just ask his kids.
It’s not like musk’s elite hacker kids were any more competent.
lol trump kicked him out.
get fucked elon, you will never be cool.
HasanAbi called it.
