DOGE was too loud and in your face.
It needed to be more stealthy but…

That's what I thought, too.
My guess is that Elon never figured on Democrats inciting their Street Stooges to attack him, his businesses, and even his customers. If this is it, then I can't say that I blame him.
The potential good news is that Elon will probably have the responsibility for DOGE transferred to the department heads before he leaves. In addition, Trump could appoint somebody else to coordinate DOGE's efforts once Musk departs.

What does that mean? Do you honestly think the fundamentals of Tesla justify the price?

My guess is Elon underestimated the propaganda, smearing of him, and the unhinged behavior of the left, globally, in trying to ruin him and his companies for simply trying to do what he thought was the right thing for our country and people.
He didn't realize how truly evil all those people are. So, maybe it's time for him to bail and go back to running his companies. I don't fault him if he does.

No, the fundamentals would imply its overpriced.
But it is worth what everyone else is willing to pay right? How much do you value the future and Tesla's part in it?
I believe they have a long term sustained role in the world going forward.

This stock dropped to $219 recently LOL.
Cheers to all of you who got in.
Their actual sales numbers have contracted and BYD is going to absolutely wreck Tesla outside of the U.S.
No, they're not.

DOGE becoming a boring but feared government tool that doesn't draw daily praise or fire is fine by me.
I would certainly hope this happens. Then, you have to concern yourself with when does DOGE sell itself to the swamp.

The plan all along was that he stayed for his 130 day contract which ends in May. In his role, by LAW, he can only stay on for 130 days
But when he does leave, Democrats will celebrate it was because of Corey Booker, Crockett and AOC

Good observation.
FAR more effective (and believable) if the supposed DOGE auditing was done behind the scene and somewhat under the radar as a stealth op.
That it was so over-the-top noisy leads me to believe that this op may not quite be legit. Is it possible we're being snowed by smoke & mirrors?

All that they have done is declare employed federal workers to be “waste,” and fire tens of thousands of people. That isn’t fraud. Arguably, that isn’t waste either.

Check out Mr. Integrity. The real performance is the reaching by liberal filth like this fig carrying the progressive water by attempting to defend the indefensible.
Right now DOGE is telling us how much of our tax dollars is outbound, and under what retarded guises they're being said to be funding. What has yet to be publicly identified is where the lion's share of the money actually ended up, and into whose pockets did the money land.
Example: $20M for the Iraqi Sesame Street:
Did $20M leave the US federal government? Absolutely.
Did *some* of that money get spent on Arabic Muppets? Sure. There's some manner of end result/product to show for it.
Did *all* of the money get spent on Arabic Muppets? Highly unlikely.
The anaphylactic allergen of liberal theology is logic. Logic says if all the money was appropriated, and only some of the money was used for the intended purpose, then where did the rest of the cash end up?
That will be the next phase of the DOGE mission, and the answers to those questions will be the least surprising things you read that day.

From John Solomon on the topic:
quote:
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday confirmed Elon Musk will leave his position as a "special government employee" next month as planned, after he completes his work with the Department of Government Efficiency.
Recent news reports have tried to indicate that Musk's departure was unexpected, but the White House has long stated that his role was temporary, hence his status as a special employee. Special employees can only work for the government for 130 days in a one-year period. This means Musk will need to leave federal service by May 30.
Leavitt was responding to a report from Politico on Wednesday that claimed President Donald Trump has told his staff and the Cabinet that Musk was preparing to leave in the coming weeks, which she claimed was a non-story.
"This ‘scoop’ is garbage," Leavitt posted to X. "Elon Musk and President Trump have both *publicly* stated that Elon will depart from public service as a special government employee when his incredible work at DOGE is complete."
Musk is currently helping the Trump administration drastically restructure the federal government, and cut down on wasteful spending. Musk previously said that he expects his work will be completed on time.
"Politico has become a tabloid paper that would rather run fake news for clicks than real reporting," White House spokesman Harrison Fields told Fox News. "This is exactly why President Trump and DOGE have terminated millions of dollars in wasteful, government contracts to so-called news organizations that have diminished their credibility with the American people."
The criticism also comes during a period of heightened tensions between the current administration and the press. The White House recently pulled the Associated Press' credentials to the Oval Office, Air Force One and other key areas. But they still have access to the White House grounds and press room.

The damage to the brand as a result of Musk entering politics may be recoverable but TBH I dont believe anything that comes out of Musk's mouth anymore regarding what is coming in the next quarter or year but I havent for several years now. So I find it hard to believe in a company who's leadership I dont trust at all.

I think we got the wrong type of transparency. Tweeting out basically headlines is not transparency. We needed links to documents, which outline the fraud and waste. Proper auditing so to speak. it felt like we basically got Musk telling us they found something and throwing out a number. Part of the time that got debunked. ex National Parks spending 1b on a survey.

Right but if youre suggesting firing people and making cuts, you also need to show the public where that money went. You can't expect the public to just agree with you without some records.
