Musk wants to leave politics because he’s tired of ‘attacks’ from the left: report

Speculation of Tesla CEO’s possible departure comes as his influence in the administration appears to wane

Elon Musk is reportedly set to leave his government role because he’s tired of the what he sees as a litany of vicious and unethical attacks from the left, according to a report from The Washington Post.

It remains unclear when Musk will depart as head of DOGE; his special government employee status will expire at the end of next month. A person familiar with his thinking told The Post that Musk thinks that his work at DOGE won’t be diminished because of his departure, noting that staffers have already established themselves across a slew of federal agencies.

But speculation of Musk’s possible departure comes as his influence in the administration appears to wane. The New York Times reported last week that the acting commissioner of the IRS was being replaced after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent complained that Musk had his preferred candidate installed without Bessent’s support. Musk has also annoyed other cabinet members by failing to coordinate with them in cost-cutting moves.

See? Bullying fascism works. It's the only thing that works. Fascism is fought with violence (physical or otherwise) as it's the only language that it understands.

When an opponent doesn't care about rules, playing by those rules only puts you at disadvantage.

We did have a little part in this, but otoh he's been playing that game for years on his platform, I don't think it is what drove him out. Him blaming the Left is just - well, it's what he would do isn't it?

But now, even MAGA is against him. DOGE is such a blatant fuck-up on all levels, he probably doesn't even want to do that anymore. It won't bring his stock back up.

Yeah. We can assume he gave himself an insane amount of extra cash through his access (like the surprising-wink-wink gov contracts his companies have now), but we don't know truly know how much and he'd be stupid to let anybody know.

He has to get the fuck out now though because obviously him gaining a few more billions cost the american state + public hundreds of billions in long-term damage, if not trillions. It also made swaths of the american government dysfunctional, things like veteran aid etc.

No, they aren't. Just the other day I saw idiots on Facebook calling for DOGE to come investigate our (Democrat led) county. They think he's doing great work saving them money.

Bullying power in general as well. Progressives have been too soft on liberals too and always let them run the show. But the reality is it's always harder to rally people when things seem to be going ok and the crisis is muffled rather than blatantly obvious. Kinda how we never go to the dentist when nothing hurts even though we really shouldn't wait until it does. Anyway, hope something meaningful comes of this resistance because this fascist stage is still a stage of neoliberalism, like that's where the root cause is.

It's definitely my point! That's exactly why I used that analogy :)

We should tend to our teeth, our environment and our political environment as well — and they will, as you say, take care of us. The "cavities" in American politics started waaaay before Trump. Trump is when they reached the nerve. (I hope I said that correctly, ESL here.)

Now I find that this all depends on the character of your dentist...

Regular visits to many dentists I have known in my life result in un-necessary procedures, additional pain and lower quality of life in general as compared to if you had just stayed the hell away and taken decent care of your own teeth at home. Yes, this is unethical, but in my life experience 9/10 dentists I have visited are unethical and do push any procedure they think they can sell you, particularly if the procedure is covered by your insurance.

If we could get a "real" dentist rating system going where you could judge them before experiencing the high-pressure sales pitch from authority while you are in the chair under the light, we might make some positive progress. Good dental practices are good for the patients. Un-necessary deep scale cleanings, recession reconstructions, drill and fill of not-really cavities and so many other things have given dentists in general a bad reputation IMO.

You're right but I wasn't going for a "dentist = political party" analogy. More like a "get your teeth taken care of = keep power in check through public pressure" analogy (to be clear, only voting doesn't count as pressure) .

I keep hoping that this cycle will be the one that demonstrates that we need real transparency, real accountability, and real limits of power to screw around in the name of "national emergency."

I agree with everything you said, except that it's "bullying". It's not. He's the bully. Musk is the richest man on the earth. He could go to the most expensive resort on the planet and the entire lives of him and his 20-something children would already be paid for. Instead, he gladly puts on a red hat, waltzes through our taxpayer-funded public services, firing hundreds of thousands and causing decades of damage. All with almost no real savings, even using DOGE's own numbers. Again, no one voted for him, Congress didn't approve of this. People pointing this out, and fighting back are not "bullying" him, it's resistance. Oh, and he's a Nazi.

Dude could be destitute in a barrel and IMO needs to lose far far more. He deserves every little shit thing that happens to him, and is one of the few people on the planet where if they have a serious roadside accident I might just suddenly remember I panic from seeing blood and hence could not stop to help them and and in my panic did not have enough clear thought to call an ambulance. And I'd do that for murderers. But not for Musk. He's the scum that cannot die soon enough, and cannot die painfully enough.

So there's that, but also the position of "special counsel" or whatever dumb title he holds is time limited. You can't be an unelected government official indefinitely (although I'm sure the current administration would change the rules if they cared enough to keep him). He's making it sound like he's bowing out, when it was the plan to step down in May from the beginning.

There's really nothing he can do about it at this point short of completely disappearing from the public eye. He's so thoroughly fucked his reputation that anything associated with him is fucked by extension.

Even if he completely leaves any interaction with politics at all, he still has SpaceX, Twitter, and Tesla that will all maintain his status as a public figure. He's not going to de-Nazify twitter. Telsas aren't going to suddenly become good cars without a reputation of being swastikcars.

The only way he could stop being bullied by "the left" is if he sold off every company he owns and disappeared into obscurity. Even then, he'll still get roasted online all the time. But if he avoids social media he could probably ignore it.

But that would all go directly against his nature. So there's nothing he realistically would do that could get "the left" to stop being mean to him. It's the rest of his miserable life.

ODing on Ketamine is quite difficult. LD50 for mice i.V. is 77mg/kg. So for an 80kg mouse that would be more than 6 grams of Ketamine given i.V. typically the bioavailability by nasal or oral consumption is lower and Musk most likely has a high tolerance. So we are talking probably 50grams or more of Ketamine for a lethal dosage for Musk.

I am not sure if Musk could actually snort enough Ketamine for a lethal dosage without it just falling back out of his nostrils or if he could swallow one without his stomach turning before it is adsorbed.

Obviously all of these numbers are speculative and taking drugs is harmful, no matter the amount. Also people often die not by ODing on Ketamine, but by killing themselves in accidents as they loose control over their muscles.

He's taking the fall because of the lack of popularity gained by Trump.

It's great as we won't see his smug face paraded around the oval office.

However he need to remain vigilant as the department he helped create will not stop sitting all over the bureaucratic hardware of America.

Which is by design as bureaucrats resist change and try to come to the status quo. (I'd never thought I would write about the merits of bureaucracy).

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!
