Sure, he’s done. He destroyed agencies which regulate him or against which he had a grudge, fucked up regulation and the social safety net, arranged other things to make rich people money, compromised personal data for basically everyone and helped his buddy Putin. Why stick around?

it’s just because a “special government employee” can only be there without clearance 120 days. it was always going to be like this, sadly this isn’t any kind of win.

Damage: done. Consequences: none.

He should definitely design the next Tesla car. The Cybertruck must be surpassed as the worst vehicle.

Geez, like anyone’s going to miss him. I’ve never seen anyone self-destruct like Elon has. If he makes a comeback it’ll be the most miraculous ever.

Seems like the stock was priced high because people thought the company would be growing. Now it is way down for the year but similar to where it was before the election. Was revenues dropping 20% priced in before the election? Seems unlikely. I would imagine Musk’s likely influence over the Trump admin from his massive donations was probably priced in, but isn’t that going to wane with his special employee status ending? Is Trump really going to continue to give tariff protections and White House advertising to Tesla without Musk ponying up more money?
