Elon Musk may be getting out of DOGE.

On Thursday, Musk said he plans to step down from his role in the spring.

The head of Tesla and X owner said he plans on stepping away in May during a Fox News interview with six members of his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team.

Musk said he was overseeing a “revolution” in government.

“I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by $1 trillion within that time frame,” Musk said.

1. I knew he had no sand. Time for him to skid out before the US Marshals show up.

[Old Crank]

14. The marshalls will not show up.

Kash and Pammie see no criminal activity or faults by any GOP member.

2. As a special government employee, Musk has to leave after 130 days

Musk does not want to comply with the ethics rules or to make the required disclosures. Musk and TFG thing that they are being cute by labeling Musk as a "special government employee" to avoid these issues. There is an upside. As a special government employee, Musk is limited to 130 days working for the federal government

Link to tweet

It's a small consolation but the attempt to avoid ethics rules and financial disclosures and Senate confirmation has pushed Musk into a position where he has to leave the government in 100 days.

6. So, we still have 2 full months for Elon Musk to do more damage. Damn!!

[FailureToCommunicate]

18. Sounds comforting, but they will just trample on that "130 days" norm like they've done on

so many rules, regulations, and ethical norms.

[bluestarone]

23. So i ask here, could he leave like for a week or month, then

Return and start his 130 days over again?

[pnwmom]

3. By law his type of appointment only lasts for 3 months. nt

[unblock]

4. Who is going to enforce that? Or what if Donnie just appoints a musk toady to replace him?

I have every confidence that whatever happens in 100 days, it will be no better than what's going on now.

[JohnSJ]

5. I still will never touch his crap cars.

[dobleremolque]

7. Extra points for the sig line! Totally appropriate!! And a great LOL! For those who don't understand,

Tot siens arsgat.

is Afrikaans for "Goodbye, asshole!"

[electric_blue68]

32. Ah, ha! 👍

[JohnnyRingo]

8. "My work here is done"

As he stands amid smoldering ruins.
From here on out it's Biden's fault. haha

Jerk.

[DFW]

12. Sounds like what "Bomber Harris" said after Dresden.

Or what the Condor Squadron leader said after Guernica in 1937.

[JohnnyRingo]

19. "Dresden" seems apropos.

But at least the Allies helped rebuild after the war.
Musk is burning it all down and walking away.

[AdamGG]

9. He's never been officially llisted as running DOGE in the first place.... n/t

[usonian]

10. We'll then have time enough at last to reflect on his work.

[Hornedfrog2000]

11. This is so stupid

Snort, push glasses up, by LAW (as if laws matter) he is only supposed to be here 3 months. The fat orange man literally got police men killed, caused millions of dollars in damages, and we are talking about laws.... lmao

[kkmarie]

13. According to the plan that gives the time to destroy SSA

"DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months."

What could possibly go wrong?!

[C Moon]

15. Too little, too late you bastard. Tesla will never recover.

[eShirl]

16. it's spring now, Jack - hit the road

17. Mans best friend

20. Wow, so brilliant! All you have to do is decimate all departments and agencies to cut expenses. Now, what about

the 'efficiency' part?

[mackdaddy]

21. He has already planted his BrainWorm Sycophants in EVERY agency.

So the Technocrat Billionaire has already hollowed all the agencies and control what is left.

He has other elections to defile.

[republianmushroom]

22. Don't think this will happen

he likes the limelight and power as much as the convicted felon.

[KatyBR]

24. Now that he has pulled out all our private data

Let's see if he is held accountable (if he even leaves).

[Oneironaut]

25. So, who is going to be President now?

[magicarpet]

27. Kegsbreath Hegseth is the new president after Musk's departure..

Pete did such a fine job with the top secret Yemen bombing he got promoted to the Oval Office.

[Oneironaut]

31. Woohoo! His Weekend at Bernie's drunken corpse will be just as effective as Trump!

[regnaD kciN]

26. Subject line should be the headline of the story...

...which is "Elon Musk's X acquired by his AI startup, says his job with DOGE nearly done" -- there is nothing in the story that says "Elon Musk is Quitting." All it says is that he may quit in the future. Does anyone believe what Musk says until it is actually done?

[Zorro]

28. Step aside or not. It doesn't matter now.

Trump will blame Musk for any impending social and economic catastrophes that may be in the immediate future.

[EarthAbides]

29. April 30, 2025

At least we now know when our Social Security will be officially gone. Plan accordingly....

[surfered]

30. It's not revolution, it's devolution, retrograde evolution.
