"Musk’s team said it saved the country $115 billion by slashing wasteful and redundant spending. Not everyone agrees, but he feels he has the country on track and he can step aside."

Lackluster reporting. The article misses the fact that he has to step down as he's a special government employee and so can only work for 130 days.

Strange that that's the one law that he decided to follow.

Yea ever since he started the doomers have been screeching "4 more years of this!!" when the 130 day limit was always there from the beginning.

I'm sure this announcement will have them on their heels! After 60 days of destroying the administrative state, they'll just have to acknowledge it was all a good thing and no big deal since he's "stepping down" right? Right?
