Summary
Elon Musk denied reports that he plans to step down from his role as a special government employee, calling them “fake news.”
The White House and Musk both rejected claims he would leave at the end of his 130-day term on May 30.
DOGE has faced backlash for rapidly dismantling federal agencies and cutting tens of thousands of jobs, prompting lawsuits and threats against Musk’s team.
He didn’t fall, he did all the stuff Republicans really wanted to do but knew they’d be punished for electorally. If they push him out before the midterms and blame him for everything, they could limit the electoral damage by escaping responsibility. He’d be happy to take on the role of scape goat.
This looks like the best answer.
All except this part
I think he underestimated how much everyone would hate him. He’s used to suck ups after all.
