Good. And you should take that filthy little nosepicker out of the oval office at the same time. Oh, and the kid as well.

Musk wants to leave politics because he’s tired of ‘attacks’ from the left: report
(www.independent.co.uk)
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.
As he should be. All billionaires should be afraid.
Is this his planned escape route after he's already gutted and skullfucked government programs that benefit lower income and working class people, environment, etc? Also after he's redirected government funding, tax money, to his businesses?
I'm not saying I have evidence there's truth to this, but I wouldn't be surprised. If he does go away, much of the public will forget really quickly. His shittiness and his obvious nazi salutes should never be forgotten.
Politics is a form of negotiation with other elements of leadership to make a nation's major policy decisions.
Musk, you never DID get involved in politics. You hired a private army and got involved in criminal intimidation.
This is just posturing to make people feel like we're not speed running towards fascism. I doubt that there will be any slow down behind the scenes
What do You mean 'Leave politics'? You were never in politics. You bought yourself a made up job at the white house. That's not the same as being a politician.

Keep up the bullying, it's working.
WHAT? People are HURTING his FEELINGS? This is TERRORISM! Can we COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THE VA and the DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION so we can have Enough Resources to Help with Elon's FEEWINGS? I will HAPPILY pay MORE in Taxes if it makes him Feel Better!
-Fuck Your Feeling Republicans who get FURIOUS when you Mention Student Loans!
Get fucked musk for the rest of your days.
Whether he stays or goes, he'll still be a cunt.
his tenure has always had a built in expiry date after which much more throughout background checks and vetting are required. he will be gone before then. he's just setting the table so it is seen as "his idea".

Bye! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
You keep pressing it until it hurts, then you know where to look.
He can leave, and he should. But the attacks against his character will NEVER stop.
Consider this the easy option.

Even the hat in that picture is looking to escape that douce.
The one downside to his leaving is now all of the disruption of doge wont be announced to the world. He was the worst person to put in charge because he loved the spotlight and thus it made it easy to see all the fucked up shit that was going on. Now we'll have to pay attention a little harder.
Man, fuck this guy. I hope he gets burned badly just like everyone else in Trump’s wake.
What a bitch.
To be fair, from where he’s sitting, everyone is to the left, and any sane opinion is an attack on his point of view.
He's got to be extra delusional if he think the 'left' will stop criticizing his Nazi ass.
Lol. U mad bro? If you can't take the heat...
"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.
Fuck this guy forever.
🖕Musk
I would care, except the muskmelons said that empathy is a sin
To co-opt the Right's terminology: what a fucking snowflake
When he dies, I hope they at least do me the courtesy of marking the ditch they dump his body in so I know where to piss.
No one fucking invited you bro.
