Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk is leaving the Trump administration after leading a tumultuous efficiency drive during which he upended several federal agencies but failed to deliver the generational savings he had sought.
A White House official told Reuters on Wednesday night that it was accurate Musk is leaving the administration and his "off-boarding will begin tonight.”
His departure was quick and unceremonious. He did not have a formal conversation with Trump before announcing his departure, according to a source with knowledge of the matter, who added that his exit was decided “at a senior staff level.”
Only one way to view it, disastrous for Musk, the US government, the US people and the world. To think that someone could wreak so much damage in such a short time with so little regard for the consequences is staggering.
It’s not staggering, it’s capitalism.
It’s still pretty staggering, even for capitalism. A record-breaking speedrun. The latest of the late stage. One might even call it the final stage.
Russia, Israel and perhaps others contributed in the acceleration.
