The departure of a man who once appointed himself Trump’s “first buddy” was quick and unceremonious. Musk did not have a formal conversation with Trump before announcing he was leaving the administration, according to a source with knowledge of the matter, who added that his exit was decided “at a senior staff level.”

    This clown show plays the American public like a circus act

    I won’t believe the circus has left town until I see them take the monkeys off the stage

      Actually that’s an Orangutan, which are great apes. Well this one isn’t so great, but it’s a different family than monkeys.

    Even if this is true the damage he managed to do in just a few months will continue for a long time. Go fuck yourself, Elon.

      okay, so i normally hate LLMs, but this is pretty funny.

      here’s my joke: “you think he’ll share his breakup spotify playlist? i bet it has lots of evanescence on it”

      here’s what it suggested instead: “You think he’ll drop his breakup playlist? Bet it’s just Grimes tracks and the sound of him refreshing Trump’s DMs.”

      edit - LMAO

      “Can’t wait for Elon’s breakup playlist. Probably just Grimes songs and audio clips of him begging Trump to like him again.”

          when LLMs are used to replace actual intelligence, then yeah i hate them. they’re pretty funny sometimes, too. just like autocorrect.

            That doesn’t address why you would immediately try to use chatgpt to change a joke.

              if LLMs were marketed as language assistance and productivity tools, that would be splendid. instead, they plug it into google and tell everyone it’s artificial intelligence. Now it just bullshits to everyone because they think they’re talking to a sentient fucking machine instead of 21st-century Clippy.

              all that said, your post has a bit of an accusatory and judgemental tone to it - at least as i’m reading it. did i address your concern?

    I really think this is just about him wanting to stop pissing off Tesla customers and get people to go back to buying his cars. I don’t believe at all that this break is legit.

    Dear Elon,

    It’s not in your head. It’s real, nobody loves you. Nobody will ever love you.

    Sorry not sorry, Everyone

    May he take a long walk off a very short, but very tall, bridge.

    Not that it matters much that he is “leaving” DOGE as I’m sure his cronies will continue his “work” for him.

    Today is also 130 days from Jan 20. 130 days is the time limit on being a special government worker in a year. But yeah, this is more of a lovers quarrel.

    I’ve done my job, like I always do. I made myself important and in the spotlights, I destroyed everything, I’m leaving behind ruins and a pile of shit. It costed the tax payers a lot of agony and money, but I had a lot of fun and I made a lot of money so it was worth it. Thank you!

    Treasury department has more backdoors in it than an Asus router with the default password. His work is done.

    I don’t think so. You don’t buy the us presidency for hundreds of millions just to give up after a few months. He’ll just pretend to work at Tesla while actually continuing be the president
