So, evidently, Elon Musk has chosen to self-delete himself from further participation in this administration, and he's going to take all his toys, and go home.
Dear Elon,
DLTDHYITAOYWO
Nobody elected you to anything, and they aren't going to do so in the future.
So you should probably take a deep breath, and never pass up a good opportunity to STFU.
- signed,
the whole country
This isn't the first time Musk has had to have his head kicked lose from his ass to break suction. (And our commentary there still applies, with full force.) But as far as the 47 admin is concerned, it'll be the last time as anyone connected with this White House. Trump, at this point, might piss on Elon, but only if he was first allowed to light him on fire.
We could pile on, but the relevant fact is that the list of people who took Trump on and got their ass (and usually, career) handed to them on a platter makes everyone else with a list blush from embarrassment at the small size of their list, except Hillary Clinton's list Of Dead Former Associates, and Jeffrey Epstein.
For most people, considering the number of people who have crashed and burned after taking Trump on, going back to 2015, signing up to be the next contestant would give one pause. Unless he goes public with being Iron Man, he can also look forward to getting drubbed in every WH press conference until he learns to STFU, slink off, and let it go.
But Elon's fatal flaw has long been hubris, right along with being a billionaire, so one must suppose it's only fitting that his flame-out and smoking hole is going to look like a meteor crater in Arizona before this all dies down.
