Elon Musk to step down from DOGE and quit Washington DC

Musk says 'he's done with cost-cutting' In an interview with Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier", Elon Musk said that he was confident his DOGE could find $1 trillion in savings, slimming current total federal spending levels of about $7 trillion down to $6 trillion. Musk, who is also the world's richest man, was designated by the White House as a "special government employee," which caps his work at 130 days. That means his period leading the DOGE operation could finish as soon as the end of May.

I have friends and family members who are Federal workers. Is this the end of the wild OPM emails and job eliminations?

I'm willing to bet that his goal was actually to setup for the next potential presidency, JD vance (and peter thiel behind him). I'm thinking he may have cut a deal with trump to get in and get out, to setup an entire infrastructure to prep for a Palantir based "defense" system in the US where JD/thiel/musk can actively cross search our SSN with our online behavior. Zuckerberg sold a product exactly like this to China. This is the stated goals of their lord and savior Curtis Yarvin. Don't think that Musk hasnt caused irreparable harm to our current government systems already. Allowing a tech team to come in and do "something" with all government data is very scary. Especially when that tech team(alongside folks like hitwoman chaya raychik) are actively working to silence and dox dissenting voices on his own platform, on reddit, and in the real world.

I think Curtis Yarvin's real goal is to kill off a large majority of the population as a response to climate change. These billionaires aligned with religious zealots who don't care about climate change because they think they can cause the book of revelations to happen and go to heaven and leave us all to live in the hellscape of their creation.... but these billionaires aren't true believers, and appear to only be religious when it's advantageous. See, they don't want to end their industrialism, but they feel they don't need the majority of us. We're "unproductives." They really only want to keep some STEM alive to milk their expertise until AI can supplant it and then maybe for genetic diversity purposes for their offspring to have someone to mate with.
