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).

    This guy is insane.

    Pretty sure he’s got “a” personality disorder that makes him crave being in the spotlight, and the dude isn’t smart or socially aware enough to understand just how little the dude knows. Leading him to doing more and more stupid shit to stay in the spotlight and scrambling to unfuck himself after the fact. On some level, it would be funny how he’s been tripping over his dick and failing upward his whole life. Ya know, if he weren’t currently destroying the country and all that.

      And don’t forget the army of enabling and validating mouthbreathers who buy that he’s a genius, when he’s really a fraud at every level. If it wasn’t for Daddy’s Money, he’d be a stereotypical stoner who works part time at some low wage job only to spend most of his time sucking at gaming.
