Summary
Elon Musk is distancing himself from sweeping federal job cuts linked to DOGE, blaming agency heads—not DOGE—responsible for mass layoffs, including the announced 70,000 job cut at Veterans Affairs.
Despite claiming DOGE’s role as merely advisory, Musk admitted to mistakes in private meetings with GOP lawmakers and pledged to correct them.
Some cuts have already been reversed, with a Trump administration memo clarifying agencies are not required to fire probationary employees (new hires).
The Cheeto could straight up shoot him dead in the oval office, then alter Elon’s last will and testament live on TV and nobody could do jack shit about it.
He should do it on 5th avenue. With TV crews present. Make it great television.
