No way he will be following the rules. No way he leaves.

N-n-n-no way. No way.

I was going to say that too. Who is going to enforce that?

Literally no one. There has been absolutely no accountability, unfortunately

Sure. Because they've been SO good at following the rules up to now.

I was so excited by the headline but the fact that we have to rely on Elon holding himself accountable for this to be true definitely let me down. That man does not give a damn about any rules…

Two types of people who don't care about rules: Rich people and criminals. Funny how often people can fall into both camps, isn't it?

Even if he were leaving, May 30th is 8,347 years in 2025 time.

Can muskrat be appointed to another position for 130 days ??? Or does the 365 day period exclude another appointment

Watch GOP push a bill declaring that "a day is not a day" like they did re: terminating a national emergency declared by the president.

"Each day for the remainder of the first session of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day" (50 U.S.C. 1622)

😂😂😂 the only credit to the GOP I can give them is that they are creativity and they fight like Bulldogs in an illegal dog fight. I almost want to see them try because that would make sense if Leon were an hourly employee who worked his 8 hours and went home to do anything other than think about work while drinking his boxed wine, but bro is on the job 24/7. So I only want this attempt IF someone can find DOGE related tweets/replies to others tweets/ retweets posted after official the days COB and on the weekends.

We already busted them lying about him not being the head of DOGE (whatever happened with that, btw?) so people who are still knowledgeable with TwiXer be ready to find them or start collecting them just in case.

He sure can do a lot of damage by then. He’s not following any rules. It’s been 2 months and he gets another 2 months 🤦‍♀️

I doubt he will be leaving after 130 days. Trump will appoint him to some non-existing post

he ought never to have been involved in our government to begin with since nobody had the opportunity to vote for him, he was foisted upon us by an ever increasingly mental incompetent himself who thinks he ought to be able to do whatever he wants without thought or justification & that his say so ought to be all that's required to make any move or policy legal & verified although, they're most usually neither.

Well I suppose he will have had enough time to pillage all our data by then.

Sarah Michelle Havisham's avatar

Ya know, I can't figure out exactly why this pisses me off so much considering the facts that the USA has been collecting my data and the USA didn't do ish when my data was compromised by...ffs I can't even begin to list off the companies (American and foreign) bc it's an ongoing occurrence. Maybe it's because they try to use it as an excuse for taking things away like TikTok, but saying it for our protection? Idk, USA is that toxic partner I can't leave because I still love who it was and what it can be.

Esther Van Lent's avatar

It's because whatever he and Trump are doing with all this information, you know it's not good for the American people. We know they're up to no good, and care only about themselves and money.

But I read that he claims he only works one day a week 👀

Christina White's avatar

That’s what I was going to ask, if he’s claiming to only work 1 day a week then they can shrug and say he’s only worked 19/130 days come May 30th.

Laura Young's avatar

No, the law says within a 130 day period. So it doesn't matter how many days he "worked" once appointed, it's for 130 day periods at a time.

🤣🤣🤣 that kid is such a prankster! But for serious, I think he'll leave because - granted I haven't watched the news much since Thursday because my poor baby boy cat is possibly terminally ill so he needs my attention more - Tesler is cannonballing off the Golden Gate Bridge and share holders are demanding him to get back to someone else's work.

Didn’t a federal judge order him to start producing information from him and DOGEsh*t because they weren’t buying he was some government advisor?

And May 30th is a long time still.

He doesn’t care about being paid, as he’s having so much fun.

My concern is that he has integrated StarLink in places where it’s become a dependency. By following you on Substack, I realize that StarLink can be turned off on a whim to help Putin’s cause with Ukraine, however I’d like to know how China benefits from Musk & his business dealings there ? Also, I’ve noticed how much more brazen Netanyahu is becoming - is he utilizing similar technology ?

Is it my paranoia, or are Putin, Xi, trump, Netanyahu & Un trying to become the top 5 strongarms in our world , and are they all connected by Musk’s businesses ?
