I am almost done...': Elon Musk reveals date quit Washington DC

1.3k

If he needs to lie about his "savings" to reach this goal, by all means go for it. The sooner he leaves, the better for everyone.

u/Alarmed_Mud_7024 7d ago

I honestly haven’t been following the specific cuts lately so I’m not sure to what degree he’s lying, but I assume a lot.

When I was paying closer attention a month or 2 ago, the level he was lying was insane. And honestly at this point it’s hard to even tell how much is lying, and how much is genuine incompetence and the inability to do basic math for these billionaire nepo babies.

There was that “8 billion saved!!” border contract which turned out to be 8 million, and even then the “savings” were closer to 2 million since they were including the total contracts worth which several years of had already been paid out. Even then the services were still required and they have to pay for in in another way so 2 million might even be pushing it and it may have actually cost money

u/Joeness84 7d ago

When they first listed their receipts of savings the top 5 we're all found to be wildly wrong. 1 claimed 8billion, but it was an 8million dollar contract (and one for ICE who's entire budget was 8billion) then 2nd, 3rd, and 4th... We're all the same contract, listed 3 times, for like 649mil.... But it was only like 15mil.

More digging revealed them taking credit for a contract that ended under BUSH.

u/Frewdy1 7d ago

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they found a bunch of “open” contracts (completed or never funded) and closed them. Then they claim victory and dollars saved when the money never really existed.

What an absolute cluster fuck. Who voted for these clowns?

u/IamHydrogenMike 6d ago

It’s because they don’t know jack shit about how anything really works…they just see numbers that say a big dollar amount and cancel it…then say they saved all of this money.

7

u/Major-Counter-585 6d ago

I think half the time they are fully aware the number is false and list it anyways. There's several examples where they list contracts worth 10s of millions but if you click through they attribute 0 savings. Then they will claim they cut said contract

u/pessimoptomist 6d ago

This is so true. I was talking to a Trump-supporting relative once in regards to wildfires in the west. They asked if "they" couldn't just shut down the windmills. Needless to say, I was very confused by this and asked, "WHAT?!?" Apparently, they thought windmills were fans or something. I'm still a little stunned by this, but it's a good example of what we're dealing with here. Intellectual curiosity, even basic knowledge, apparently are not things these folks fuck with.

u/gijoe1971 6d ago

u/IamHydrogenMike 6d ago

A lot of their savings claims are because they don’t understand federal procurement procedures either and inflated their costs savings because of it. You can be awarded a hundred million dollar contract, the contract only Pays out maybe 8-10 million a year over a decade, and they’ll say they saved 100 million by canceling. Well no, you only save what was paid out because they he contract is also subject to a bunch of rules before it even pays out and can be subject to renewal every few years. So a hundred million dollar contract might only be 15 million dollars over the life of it because it got canceled early for a number of reasons. They’re dumb as rocks, and hey can’t get their numbers right because they don’t understand how federal contracts work.

4

u/Sunbeamsoffglass 6d ago

The legal fees over this alone are going to cost them a couple hundred million.

Not to mention the salaries they had to pay out while workers just sat waiting to find out what happened to them. Then empty offices and broken leases and contracts.

There is zero chance this “saved” money.

My mother in law’s survivor’s benefit helps pay for my severely autistic brother in law’s rent and care.

It enables to him to get a job (think part time stocking shelves - something to do and feel fulfilled and like he’s contributing but will never pay his bills) without risk of loosing his social security benefits which he would if he got any job just on SSI disability.

He’s incapable of ever taking care of himself and the survivors benefit of a few hundred dollars a month is legitimately life changing for him.

The problem is that he is a showman, like many in the administration. His main motivation is to post on online "I cut XX amount of jobs after XX amount of days" and then get excited about it with his cult followers.

But he is rushing to do this fast and sacrificing a significant amount of quality in the process. He isn't doing any actual work except whining on TV interviews every night.... while his actual "DOGE" committee is only like 50 people that are largely in their early 20s and were previous interns at his old companies like Twitter and Tesla. Any competent people left DOGE months ago. They have no idea what they are doing.

For example, some DOGE kid found some names of old dead people on some social security list - bam, immediately they are tweeting it on X like they found some buried treasure of waste and corruption. But in reality those names were never on an actual ledger and getting paid. There was no waste. But that doesn't matter - it is all about the "X tweet", not actual verified information.

And then, they find 100,000 federal gov't workers that are considered "probationary" so some DOGE kid all sends them the exact same pink slip saying "your being fired for poor performance" but never actually did any work to see if they had derog info their performance file/reviews. A X tweet is sent out about they cut waste and the cult following once again celebrates..... then a week later, a judge re-instates the majority of them because the firings were illegal and done incorrectly. For those that aren't re-instated, they are initiating class action lawsuits for wrongful termination. This will actual end up costing the government more money with these payout settlements - the opposite of efficiency.

4

u/IamHydrogenMike 6d ago

The software license thing makes me laugh, companies buy more licenses than they need all the time to either plan for growth or hit a costs savings threshold that makes it worth getting the extra licenses. Licensed get right-sized all the time, and I’ve done this for customers at places I have worked. Plus, the license numbers they touted were coming that way he costs was negligible for a he feds and the savings would be minimal.

3

u/SlippySloppyToad 6d ago

Depending on the software they might not have even been paying for it. There was a program I used at a former place that would sell a package of licenses and only charged per activated license. And that makes it super easy to claim "oh yea, we saved 50,000 a month because we cut 500 $100 a month licenses" but it doesn't make it true.

u/jdp245 7d ago

I haven’t seen a single “cut” in my corner of the government that hasn’t just wasted money or actually cost the taxpayer more. Our ability to attend professional training was axed (trainings necessary for me to retain my professional license) but the government has already paid for these trainings, so it’s just money flushed down the toilet. I go into the office every day (did through COVID too), but I am no longer allowed to perform telework on the weekends when I would attend online training or do administrative work, so now the government gets less of my time and I take time away from my primary duties to do these things while I’m in the office. And I’ve already done a weekly action report every week for years, but now I have to waste time doing another one for DOGE that has all the classified and sensitive information sanitized out of it. Not to mention the government is literally paying people to sit there and scan thousands documents looking for words on a DEI bingo card because they are afraid that some old procedure from 4 years ago with the word “equal” or “inclusive” in it is a threat to national security. What a waste. This is the “efficiency” you are getting from DOGE and this administration. Everyone I work with just wants to put this behind us and get back to work serving our country, but every week is it something else.

He is impulsive and makes claims that he will not follow through with such as his vote on him remaining CEO of Twitter. Mentally he may imagine the bad reputation of Telsa is simply down to his participation on DOGE when outside of the US most are barely aware of it. Its his closeness to the administration that threw Ukraine under the bus, is backing away from NATO, is threatening Greenland and Canada and imposing insane tariffs on the global economy.

"Act in haste, repent in leisure". He jumped abord the MAGA train in the middle of last year, perhaps around August or so. Its never leaving him and the chaos in the world Trump is creating will be associated with him for the rest of his life.

Howard Hughes and Henry Ford had dodgy politics or crazy personal issues towards the end of their lives. They at least did not have Twitter to live stream their stream of conscious thoughts on every issue of the day nor be front and centre of major political programs that were hugely unpopular.

Even if those were the actual figures, I’m sure it will all be undone soon by another round of corporate tax cuts.

Protests work. He is hoping stepping down will save Tesla and stop him from hemorrhaging money.

Of course, given how much Musk lies, I don’t trust this to be some bullshit to stop people from torching his dealerships.

u/MadFlava76 7d ago

Nope. Tesla brand is now toxic. Won't save it. China senses blood in the water and they are going to come after Tesla's market share.

If he thinks the hate is going to stop when he "steps away" from DOGE and the American Government, he's more deluded than I thought.

He's burned the bridge now.

Anything Musk is going to touch or has touched is toxic

u/LSTmyLife 7d ago

He's a special government employee. The contract was for 130 days. He didn't decide shit. It's in the contract.

Aka the tesla board is telling him to step down from DOGE or they will oust him

u/p33p0pab33b0p 6d ago

Im tired so someone check my math. Yes he said $4B per day, 7 days a week. Through the end of May is 60-ish days. 4x60 is 220B. DOGE site currently showing 130B “saved”. My abacus is not working but pretty sure that is not $1T. Is he using K-Hole time?

u/UnwittingCapitalist 7d ago

Not good enough. He needs to step down from Tesla too. His fascist nonsense & lies about damaging the US govt is a blight thats not going away anytime soon.

u/bsEEmsCE 7d ago

He can go ride Tesla into the ground. There are other electric vehicle options now. Just get out of government.

u/UnwittingCapitalist 7d ago

I wouldn't mind him dragging Tesla down to an appropriate P/E. Maybe even shake loose an investor for Aptera

Did he divert enough taxpayer money into his own bank account to be satisfied? Doubt it.

Just like Trump was going to quit the Trump Organization the day he took office the first time. Still waiting for that to happen...

He did not cut $1trillion from the government budget. That is a lie.
He can leave the administration but the damage is done. His image is beyond rehabilitation.

u/whatsuppaa 7d ago

Huh, Michael Wolff was right. He called Elon Musk the new Steve Bannon and gave him about 6 months tops to last in Trumps administration. He cited that "Trump is awful to everyone around him all the time" and he is chocked that people still come back the next day to take more abuse.

The is a misdirect to attempt to regain shareholder confidence. Just wait until the next quarterly report from Tesla. I bet share value will halve again.
