The departure of a man who once appointed himself Trump’s “first buddy” was quick and unceremonious. Musk did not have a formal conversation with Trump before announcing he was leaving the administration, according to a source with knowledge of the matter, who added that his exit was decided “at a senior staff level.”

    he did what he needed to do, end all investigations against him, award all contracts to him that were blocked. fire all department employees as a distraction.

    Even if this is true the damage he managed to do in just a few months will continue for a long time. Go fuck yourself, Elon.

      okay, so i normally hate LLMs, but this is pretty funny.

      here’s my joke: “you think he’ll share his breakup spotify playlist? i bet it has lots of evanescence on it”

      here’s what it suggested instead: “You think he’ll drop his breakup playlist? Bet it’s just Grimes tracks and the sound of him refreshing Trump’s DMs.”

      edit - LMAO

      “Can’t wait for Elon’s breakup playlist. Probably just Grimes songs and audio clips of him begging Trump to like him again.”

          when LLMs are used to replace actual intelligence, then yeah i hate them. they’re pretty funny sometimes, too. just like autocorrect.

    Dear Elon,

    It’s not in your head. It’s real, nobody loves you. Nobody will ever love you.

    Sorry not sorry, Everyone

    May he take a long walk off a very short, but very tall, bridge.

    Not that it matters much that he is “leaving” DOGE as I’m sure his cronies will continue his “work” for him.

    I really think this is just about him wanting to stop pissing off Tesla customers and get people to go back to buying his cars. I don’t believe at all that this break is legit.

    Today is also 130 days from Jan 20. 130 days is the time limit on being a special government worker in a year. But yeah, this is more of a lovers quarrel.

    I’ve done my job, like I always do. I made myself important and in the spotlights, I destroyed everything, I’m leaving behind ruins and a pile of shit. It costed the tax payers a lot of agony and money, but I had a lot of fun and I made a lot of money so it was worth it. Thank you!

    Gotta save face, even if your ‘contract’ expires in 3 days…oh, and frumpy already kicked you out.
