Now that billionaire Elon Musk has stepped away from his White House job as a “special government employee,” DOGE staffers he brought on board are exiting too – some not because they want to leave.

According to a report from the Washington Post’s Faiz Siddiqui, Hannah Natanson, Cat Zakrzewski, Alex Horton and Elizabeth Dwoskin, the influence of DOGE is waning and Cabinet heads are hiring back employees who were dismissed during the mass purge initiated under Donald Trump’s anti-government administration.

The Post is reporting, that Musk’s influence with Trump’s people has fallen apart since he and Trump have turned on each other with the billionaire going so far as to suggest there is information about the president in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

    You can’t even consistently convince liberals that Kamala is better than this shit. And you think adding a bunch of conservatives will help?

      There are plenty of non-rich Americans who aren’t Democrats and aren’t rightwing idiots either.

      I see your point. A way out of this that doesn’t require their support l would probably be quicker, but it would be far more peaceful and lasting if we get it.
