Musk "stepping back"

Elon Musk said Tuesday that he will take a major step back from his work as the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency.

[...]

Musk said on Tesla's earnings call that "my time allocation to DOGE will drop significantly" likely starting in May, declaring the effort "mostly done."

"I'll have to continue doing it for I think the remainder of the President's term just to make sure the waste and fraud that we stopped does not come roaring back, which it will do if it has the chance," Musk said.

They didn't stop any waste or fraud. In fact, they added to it.

Very Trumpy. Claim success and leave.
"I encourage people to look beyond the bumps and potholes of the road immediately ahead of us," he said. "Lift your gaze to the bright shining citadel on the hill — I don't know, some Reagan-esque imagery — and that's where we're headed."

He also claimed, without evidence, that Tesla protesters are "receiving fraudulent money" from the government: "That is the real reason for the protests," he said.

His comments came after Tesla acknowledged, for the first time, that the backlash might be hurting the company's financial performance.
Fraudulent money? I don't even know what that is. At any rate, no one's paying anyone to protest Tesla.





Sad!
