Do you just come here to post memes and tweets in support of a Felon?
With not a single organic thought from your brain?

You're not even a CAL alum.
So why are you here?

Just regurgitate whatever the Wall Street Journal says and you'll be fine. Now get off my lawn.

It's commentary on the end of his run in government.

Seems like what Elon did is a very good thing to have happen, as it is apparently impossible for our congress to spend our money responsibly and have oversight on it.

But he didn't really accomplish anything.

Because the "news" rather not talk about why the Democrats' approval rating is in the low 20's.

"Mr. Musk's drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it."

On the Campaign Trail, Elon Musk Juggled Drugs and Family Drama - The New York Times


https://archive.is/2025.05.30-104059/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/us/elon-musk-drugs-children-trump.html


"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.
Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can."

So, Elon isn't denying the excessive illegal drug use.

Lifelong Democrat. Democrats love drug use, opened our borders for the drug cartels, continually argue to release drug dealers from prison, Newsom released hundreds of drug dealers early from prison, decriminalization of drug use, many Democrat cities have free needle programs and free shoot up galleries, were limp on protecting us from fentanyl epidemic, and more.

He's also dramatically pulling back his campaign donations as well, so he said.

That's a news story.

Even Trump started to doubt Musk and DOGE's promise to cut $1 trillion, report claims: 'Was it bulls***?' | The Independent


https://www.independent.co.uk/politics/trump-musk-doge-cuts-promise-b2761354.html

"Musk has also been less forthcoming with money after giving Trump $288 million during his most recent campaign, the Journal noted. He told Trump's advisers this year that he would give $100 million to groups controlled by the president's team before the 2026 midterms. But as of this week, the money hasn't come in.

Who has cut anything, let alone simply reduced the rate of growth, in 50 years?

Newt Gingrich / Bill Clinton?

Cool story.

But you're still not getting a DOGE dividend.

Musk never promised such. You have repeated this over and over again because you are woefully ignorant and misinformed.
This is arguably the second best display of Dunning Kruger cognitive bias I have seen on this board. Have you considered getting a clue? SAD.

With Elon Musk leaving DOGE, what does that mean for dividend checks?


On Feb. 19, President Donald Trump said he would consider the plan to pay out $5,000 stimulus checks to taxpayers in the form of a 'DOGE dividend' during a summit in Miami. He explained it as using part of the 20% of the savings identified by Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and giving it back to taxpayers.
