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).
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.
