Elon Musk’s reign of terror within the federal authorities has formally come to an finish, after the malevolent billionaire introduced on Wednesday that he has left the White Home to return to his floundering enterprise empire.
“As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,” Musk wrote in a submit on X. “The [Department of Government Efficiency] mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”
Within the 4 months Musk was a member of President Donald Trump’s administration, his DOGE group each completely failed to satisfy his objective of slicing $2 trillion in federal spending, and hobbled necessary authorities packages, like Social Safety, the Nationwide Climate Service, illness mitigation efforts, lifesaving overseas assist, and medical analysis for issues like childhood most cancers.
And he now leaves together with his tail between his legs, having been forged away from Republican politics as he’s a huge legal responsibility for the GOP’s electoral prospects.
Whereas Musk’s destruction will outlive his tenure, now we have to level and snort at him in an effort to alleviate our despair. Here is a have a look at Musk’s most insane moments within the White Home.
1. The CPAC chainsaw
On the Conservative Political Motion Convention in February, Musk spouted insane conspiracy theories and wielded a chainsaw on stage whereas yelling—what else?—“Chainsaw!”
2. His band of DOGE bros
Quickly after DOGE kicked off its harmful spree, media retailers unmasked the host of racist and incompetent bros Musk employed to employees the group.
One of many DOGE bros, 25-year-old Marko Elez, was pressured to resign after his racist social media posts surfaced, just for Musk to rehire him.
And who can overlook the 28-year-old tech bro Nate Cavanaugh, who marched into the U.S. Institute of Peace to take over the constructing and shut down the unbiased company—a transfer that was simply overturned on Might 19 by a federal decide?
3. The Tesla infomercial
In March, Musk received Trump to host a Tesla infomercial on the White Home garden—a cheesy and corrupt gambit that did little to assist revive Tesla’s picture or gross sales, which are nonetheless in the bathroom.
4. His Wisconsin Supreme Courtroom fail
Later in March, Musk donned a cheesehead to dole out wads of money in an effort to elect a conservative candidate to the Wisconsin state Supreme Courtroom. The candidate Musk bankrolled finally misplaced in a landslide after Democrats tied the candidate to Musk and his harmful DOGE efforts.
The loss spooked Republicans, displaying simply how potent of a problem Musk may very well be for Democrats within the 2026 midterm elections.
5. The failed war-plan briefing
Additionally within the later half of March, Musk tried to get briefed on the US’ secret struggle plans with China, a rustic Musk has monetary ties to.
Fortunately, Musk, who had no cause to know the navy’s plans for preventing China, was by no means briefed on the struggle plans. That’s as a result of even somebody as corrupt as Trump—who traces his personal pockets by promoting entry to the White Home to the best bidders—thought that Musk getting the China struggle plans would have been a battle of curiosity.
“Elon has businesses in China. And he would be susceptible, perhaps, to that,” Trump stated.
6. DOGE ‘savings’
As Musk’s DOGE faltered and the general public soured on it, Musk tried to construct again help by itemizing off the allegedly wasteful contracts DOGE canceled.
However the group’s financial savings tracker, which it printed on-line, was crammed with errors and pretend accounting gimmicks to make it appear to be DOGE reduce greater than it really had. The tracker’s web site steadily needed to be corrected as reporters discovered quite a few errors.
And on the finish of the day, DOGE might not have saved the federal government a lot in any respect. In reality, one unbiased evaluation discovered that DOGE’s cuts will find yourself costing the federal government $135 billion in authorized prices and misplaced productiveness.
7. Musk’s ‘legion’ of infants
And let’s not overlook—although we might wish to—the revelations concerning the infants Musk has reportedly sired with ladies throughout the nation as a part of his twisted objective of making a “legion” of his offspring.
As experiences surfaced that Musk was a deadbeat dad who impregnated ladies after which left them excessive and dry, he bizarrely toted one in every of his at the least 14 kids round with him on the White Home, probably to show he isn’t a horrible father.
In a single look, Musk’s son was seen selecting his nostril and wiping the boogers on the Resolute Desk within the Oval Workplace.
What an apt metaphor for the mess Musk has left us all with.
