Trump Tells Inner Circle That Musk Will Leave Soon

President Donald Trump has told his inner circle, including members of his Cabinet, that Elon Musk will be stepping back in the coming weeks from his current role as governing partner, ubiquitous cheerleader and Washington hatchet man.

Elon Musk spent millions in a failed scheme to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. Voters decisively rejected Donald Trump, Musk and the rapidly deteriorating Republican brand. Back up off the American people.

Undoubtedly a coincidence that this happened right after Tesla released data showing sales plunged 13% in the first three months of this year. /s

To say nothing of last nights diabolical in Wisconsin...

Sort of gives a new meaning to the term 'Liberation Day', doesn't it.

I suspect that Musk will soon be learning the extent, of lack there of, of Trump's loyalty to former employees and associates.

I thought Mush was a smart man.

I guess he didn't learn from Mike Pillow.

Or Rudy.

Or Clark.

Or Bumble.

Or the Secy of State in Colorado.

I have always wondered how personally annoying Trumpf found untelegenic, unsmooth, ugly-mouthed Felon Musk to be. The Dotard didn't like the booger-eating kid Musk brought to the Oval Office either.

"Tesla Board Asks Elon Musk to Step Down*"

"But many others say he's an unpredictable, unmanageable force who has had issues communicating his plans with Cabinet secretaries and through the White House chain of command led by chief of staff Susie Wiles, frequently sending them into a frenzy with unexpected and off-message comments on X, his social-media platform " including sharing unvetted and uncoordinated plans to gut federal agencies.

The political threat Musk poses was highlighted Tuesday after Democrats seized on Musk's roughly $20 million investment in the Wisconsin race, with some openly calling it a referendum on the polarizing mogul."

they go on to say that fElon isn't going anywhere out of Trump's circle, just out of that job.

I think he may finally have figured out that he was the Fall Guy all along in the Mobster's Scheme to shake down the taxpayers aka the Pensioners. And aka We the People.

Did you not understand that that article you posted was an April fools joke, Corky?

#7 | Posted by qcp at 2025-04-02 03:34 PM

Hence the asterisk.

"according to three Trump insiders who were granted anonymity to describe the evolving relationship."

Something no one has accused any democrat of lately, with their new 21% approval rating.

Hold onto that for as long as you can. Like that dirty rag doll that remains your comfort from childhood.

Trump is scared to death of Musk. Therefore it is in Musk's vital interest to get some space from him.

Do I really need to spell out why?

#12 | Posted by Zed at 2025-04-02 05:41 PM

Trump is scared to death of Musk.

Can you imagine if Elon stated mean mouthing Lewzer on Twitter? That would be hilarious.

Sigh. Musk serves as a temporary government employee, with a 130-day cap. Look it up. In fact, send it to the people you follow on BSKY. Another thread with Reo Speedwagon playing in the background.

I'm not at all certain this isn't the way Musk sees Trump.

Well that's settled then. Lewzer would never break a rule as ironclad as a temporary worker cap.

I tried holding on to the 27% approval rating, but you clowns pulled together and got it down to 21% this week.

#19 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2025-04-02 07:45 PM

Democrats just won Wisconsin's Supreme Court seat.

You know. The one Musk personally sunk $20 million into.

So. Keep holding onto those poll results as if your life depends on it.

I'm worried. This is the forth consequative post where I agreed with, or at least didn't take exception to, all comments. Maybe I've been here too long?

After what Trump did yesterday all I can say is that you need to develop a firmer grip.

He's crashing and burning and he's bringing everyone, including you, down with him.

#22 | Posted by Zed at 2025-04-03 08:46 AM

The Dems do kind of suck these days, but mostly because they haven't done enough to stop Trump and Musk, who suck 1,000 times worse and are up to their eyeballs in grift and the dismantling of the economy and American principles.
