Trump puts new limits on Elon Musk

I imagine Trump is embarrassed that this isn't being done in such a way that people go away. Sure at first it was we fired a zillion probationary people. Then nuclear material people called back, NIH, FDA, and NSF have all called people back, USDA had to take back 4900 probationaries for now. That plus the plan to get rid of like 80,000 vets probably isn't planning that well. But then Elon owns him so he can't exactly scream at him like others. So he end runs it by telling agency heads to do terminations - hoping they'll be done the right way (or closer to the right way). For fed workers probably good if these firings stop/slow down and it's actual reorgs or RIFs with severance. |

No one should have any illusions that this means that terminations will be fair or reasoned in any way. They will still be coming right from Musk, and most agencies will jump to fire whatever random percentage he comes up with. It is interesting that they had this big public meeting though— seems like an admission that some of this isn’t playing so well. |

Where does this bizarre Starlink lie keep popping up from? |

It’s a joke. Our agency just got some restructuring plans today that have the DOGE 🤡 fingerprints all over. |

No Musk will fire Trump. Musk is a lot more popular vs Trump. |

This is the first step for Trump throwing Elon under the bus.
Elon was hired to be a patsy. He will do thr dirty work and take the blame for it when Trump eventually dumps him. |

| People who think Musk "owns" Trump are delusional. Trump not only owns Musk, he is using him. Elon is a fool and Trump is going to make him the fall guy. |

No Musk can shut down the federal government payment system at any time. |

He absolutely is not. Why do people spew utter nonsense? |

Typical CEO move to bring in an outsider to do the firings, like Norm Peterson. |

What exactly is he doing then? I’ll wait. |

| I think it's likely that Musk will get thrown out of the government sooner or later. Nearly everyone Trump works with gets thrown out. He can't get along with anyone. His wife hates him. His kids probably hate him. No one likes him. They "work" with him because he's charismatic and he's a brilliant salesman who conned half a nation into voting for him. But sooner or later, they all leave, even Musk. |

I thought Master Ketamine would be out when he took a press conference with his little kid x-t^f-squared. Then I thought he was out when the French Senator gave him the perfect name. My only thinking on him not leaving soon is that he has a very large economy to pillage, old school style and holds some of drumps debt. |

My spouse's job just asked everyone for their personal emails in case of unlawful RIFs or firings, so they can contact them to get them back in the office if allowed. So, no. |

From your keyboard to God's ears. Only divine intervention will get that man out of there, IMO, and I don't believe in God.
