Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Fucking Elon's Chainsawing of Everyone's Shit.
CAT-E
Oh, he won't leave. I don't believe it for a second. There's too much money and power. He is going to milk the insider connections for as long as he can. But he might adjust his position to try to get the pressure shifted to others.
He has prepared the groundwork, this is just an excuse to pass over the baton to palantir so they can have their "Privatized AI powered governement software"

"Elon Musk is reportedly set to leave his government role because he’s tired of the what he sees as a litany of vicious and unethical attacks from the left..."
OR...hear me out...Trump is sick of him and wants him gone (because two egos that large cannot coexist in the same space indefinitely) and this is the cover story.
OR...Elon has already accomplished 99.9% of what he wanted by gaining access to all the data he wanted and further embedding SpaceX, Starlink, etc., into government contracts.
OR...some mix of all of the above.
If he leaves that means the autocrats are ready to complete their coup. Then our only chance will be the military.

Fuck this guy forever.
He's not leaving politics, he's at most changing vector. From being visible, to working more in the shadows.
Dark MAGA in the process...
The future looks dark for Murica

the "mythical left" that he and the right wingers keeps fantasizing about think it exists in the us.
If there was a formidable left wing in the United States he would have been dangling upside down a long time ago.

As he should be. All billionaires should be afraid.
I think he means "tired of the pushback and profit loss from actively bribing the system into becoming the shadow POTUS running the world behind the scenes".
How else could he attempt to advance to Mars Colonization, his lifelong dream as someone with a God-Iron-Man-Savior complex, during his lifetime?
He knows with the current progress rate he could help pave the way to Mars for humanity, but not live the dream himself, or take full credit for that achievement. And we know just how "selfless" he is.
We did it Lemmy
We did it, Reddit
Any chance he got all the data and access that he actually wanted, so now he's good?
Time to slink back into the shadows and re-emerge richer around the time of the next election.

You keep pressing it until it hurts, then you know where to look.
He realized that he pissed off the people that were buying his cars. Sorry my dude, this is your identity now. We will not forget.
Bye! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Lol. U mad bro? If you can't take the heat...
Until I see it realistically happen, he's staying. It is all theater.

Whether he stays or goes, he'll still be a cunt.
Holy shit, I didn't think the bullying campaign would acturally work. This is a grand victory for all workers of the world and a sign of whats to come. When all the workers of the world unite we can overcome the iron hand and destroy any fascist.
NEVER BACK DOWN FOR THEY ARE WEAK AND WE THE WORKERS ARE STRONG
Make bullying great again
My 3 day old bowl of custard has a thicker skin than Musk. Probably smells nicer too.
Plus, it's not a Nazi, which is a bonus. Unless you have Nazi custard.
