WASHINGTON (AP) — Elon Musk is leaving his government role as a top adviser to President Donald Trump after spearheading efforts to reduce and overhaul the federal bureaucracy.

His departure, announced Wednesday evening, marks the end of a turbulent chapter that included thousands of layoffs, the evisceration of government agencies and reams of litigation. Despite the upheaval, the billionaire entrepreneur struggled in the unfamiliar environment of Washington, and he accomplished far less than he hoped.

I'm calling bullshit. He's just trying to hide because of the backlash, but his grubby little mitts are still gong to be all over everything.

He wants to focus on spreading his brand of nazism globally.

You didn't think he's just going to stop, did you? Like, fuck off to paradise and be happy, so he stops interfering in everything? lol, no. Sorry.
