In the past week, President Trump’s flunky Elon Musk has seen Tesla stock prices fall faster than a Kardashian at NBA All-Star weekend. He’s looked on as one of his four baby mommas bashed him for being a deadbeat dad. He wasted $21 million trying to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court, only for the opposing judge to win the election. And now, there are rumors that the billionaire is out at the White House.
I told y’all the marriage between Musk and President Trump was never going to work. There is no way there is enough air to hold those two egos in check. And unfortunately for Elon Musk, but fortunately for the rest of us, the experiment that no one ever wanted has come to a reported end.
According to Politico, President Trump finally realized that in this double-date scenario, he’s the scrub TLC talked about. He’s in the passenger side of Elon Musk’s Tesla trying to holla at America, and it was never going to work.
In all seriousness, rumors began flying that Musk might be stepping down from his position as first friend to the president and first destroyer of good things in America in the next few weeks.
From Politico:
The president remains pleased with Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency initiative, but both men have decided in recent days that it will soon be time for Musk to return to his businesses and take on a supporting role, according to three Trump insiders who were granted anonymity to describe the evolving relationship.
Musk’s looming retreat comes as some Trump administration insiders and many outside allies have become frustrated with his unpredictability and increasingly view the billionaire as a political liability, a dynamic that was thrown into stark relief Tuesday when a conservative judge Musk vocally supported lost his bid for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat by 10 points.
It also represents a stark shift in the Trump-Musk relationship from a month ago, when White House officials and allies were predicting Musk was “here to stay” and that Trump would find a way to blow past the 130-day time limit.
One senior administration official said Musk is likely to retain an informal role as an adviser and continue to be an occasional face around the White House grounds. Another cautioned that anyone who thinks Musk is going to disappear entirely from Trump’s orbit is “fooling themselves.”
In the words of wise sage Janet Jackson, Musk’s tenure became very, “What have you done for me lately?” Meaning, if you can’t buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court, then what good are you? Musk’s “special government employee,” status was set to come to end around late May or early June, and while many of us — myself included — thought this was a made-up position, it’s not. Apparently, it’s an actual special status that lasts about 130 days and exempts said person from “some ethics and conflict-of-interest rules.”
Many feel like Musk’s chainsaw to the federal government is about as much as he could’ve done without wiping the slate clean. From a work standpoint, there are many who believe that he’s leaving because there’s nothing left for him to do.
Then there are those who believe he has played fast and loose with his connection to the president, not to mention that he doesn’t have the best communication style and frankly, people just kind of hated him.
Probably didn’t help matters that because of his affiliation with the president, and his white supremacist views, Tesla became the unofficial ride of MAGA, and in turn people began selling and or trading the cars in.
According to CNBC, “Tesla reported 336,681 vehicle deliveries in the first quarter of 2025, a 13% decline from a year ago, two days after the electric vehicle company’s stock wrapped up its worst quarter since 2022.”
No one wants those cars anymore, and those who have kept them have become too embarrassed to drive them. Some have even gone so far as to disguise them. One driver even went so far as to remove all of the Tesla branding and replaced them with Audi emblems.
The mother of Musk’s 13th child (yep, you read that right) claimed that she had to sell her gifted Tesla because Musk reduced her child support payments.
“I need to make up for the 60% cut that Elon made to our son’s child support,” Ashley St. Clair told MailOnline.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk hasn’t even admitted that he’s the father of the woman’s child, so there is that.
“I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but I am not against finding out,” Musk told MailOnline. “No court order is needed. Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5 million and am sending her $500k/year.”
Baby mama drama aside, it looks like Elon Musk won’t have exclusive White House access, which is how it should be.
Trump told reporters on Monday that “at some point Elon’s going to want to go back to his company,” adding: “He wants to. I’d keep him as long as I could keep him,” Politico reports.
“As the President said, this White House would love to keep Elon around for as long as possible,” White House spokesperson Harrison Fields said. “Elon has been instrumental in executing the President’s agenda, and will continue this good work until the President says otherwise.”
Sounds like President Trump has said otherwise.
