Summary
Elon Musk is distancing himself from sweeping federal job cuts linked to DOGE, blaming agency heads—not DOGE—responsible for mass layoffs, including the announced 70,000 job cut at Veterans Affairs.
Despite claiming DOGE’s role as merely advisory, Musk admitted to mistakes in private meetings with GOP lawmakers and pledged to correct them.
Some cuts have already been reversed, with a Trump administration memo clarifying agencies are not required to fire probationary employees (new hires).
Elon Musk’s boards and shareholders don’t want Musk having credit for Musk’s involvement with Disastrous DOGE Cuts. Elon wouldn’t have been on a stage with a chainsaw if Elon didn’t want credit.
No no, he wanted credit but now it makes him look bad so he’s pretending he never wanted it. But we all know the truth.
You’re probably right about the boards and shareholders though. Assuming they even think about us at all.
As someone who spent a lot of time supporting boards, they are only thinking of themselves and the damage to their brands and stock price and compensation. Which, means that efforts to boycott said brands is causing them to think about us in ways that they don’t like to think about us.
So what I’m hearing is, vandalizing Cybertrucks is effective.
lol…i meant the efforts of not buying certain brands. but, sometimes throwing some tea in the harbor gets people’s attention too.
He should blame on vice president Trump, since he’s allowing it to happen
Exactly. There is a way to do what they’re doing that isn’t so blatant and ham-fisted, but none of these fucking idiots have any tact or subtlety. Elon thought people would be cheering him on, instead we all want to see him, Trump, and all the other oligarchs hang all because he blew his load too early in the plan to destroy the government.
