Why has Elon Musk disappeared from the spotlight?

No one in the GOP is talking about Elon anymore, looks like he's cancelled. Looks like he was really toxic to their brand.

Trump has wiped Elon Musk’s name from Truth Social as GOP insiders admit he’s ‘finished, done, gone’

He is not seen anymore, no one is posting about him, and no one is talking about DOGE anymore. Wearing a cheese hat didn't help him in Wisconsin.

If you can't win with a cheese hat in Wisconsin you can't win, a cheese hat always means victory in Wisconsin.
And now Musk himself seem to admit he has been dumped:

Tesla CEO Elon Musk says he will spend 'a lot less' on future political campaigns

I guess he has made enough money on the government now, and it's time to gtfo.
 
Elon realized taking a chainsaw to vital government agencies wasn't going to work. He screwed over thousands of people, sullied his image big time, lost Tesla sales, and ran away like a 6-year-old girl.
 
Elon is another 'Icarus" case. A successful guy who flew to close to Trump with visions of personal grandeur. Unlike Rudi, Pillowman, Sidney and several others though, Elon might have escaped with only a big dent in his personal fortune and a massive dent in his personal reputation. For so many others the dents have been 'fatal', but Elon might have just got out before the blood sucking leech sucked him completely dry.
 
Uhhhhh...yeahNO.
He's not gone at all.

He just returned from the Middle East hitchhiking with Trump and making deals that hurt us and help the very people who setup 9/11.
If ObL was still alive I'd expect to see him given an ambassador's post and Musk gifting him another AI data farm for Al Qaeda.

This. He's still around he's just not doing the dog and pony show. What I don't understand is how they got Trump to shut up about him.

Musk was stealing his limelight and his headlines.

He did what Trump asked him to do...he created DOGE. DOGE will continue without him.

Now that he's withdrawn from the spotlight, the media is reduced to spouting bullshit from anonymous "GOP insiders".

Too bad. The media should move on...find another person to create fake news about.

I have a feeling when congress changes hands next election, you'll be seeing a lot of Musk testifying under oath about all the damage and chaos he's caused America.

Either that or he gets a one-way ticket back to S. Africa and stays there.
 
That and all of the investigations into his companies have been squashed.
This, I think this is the most important thing he got, free rein of corruption and unlawful behavior without any government agencies able to lift a finger to investigate.

You don't need to be in the spotlight to make a difference.

Plus he's a bit busy.

Yes, but that will be "lawfare". See the difference? MAGA does.

"when"??

You should be thinking "if".

He and Trump both have patholgical insecurities and a desperate need for attention. Trump is able to parlay this into an advantage by channeling and exploiting other people's resentments and insecurities.

Musk just seems desperate.

If the GOP gets this horrible budget passed into law, it'll be political suicide. Everyone seems to know this, buy many don't seem to care. What happened in the mid-terms during Trump 1.0 will seem like a mild shower. This will be a tornado of destruction.
 
Lol for anyone who thinks Musk has any real involvement in the development of any of this. He's just the name and the dollars.


LOL for anyone who doesn't realize that Musk will still be doing what he does out of the spotlight and laughing all the way to the bank.

Agreed.
Didn't both Musk and Trump say from day one that Musk's engagement was a temporary one?
Why, yes, yes they did.

Now that he's withdrawn from the spotlight, the media is reduced to spouting bullshit from anonymous "GOP insiders".
Always ginning up fauxrage and trying to create conflict where none really existed.

Too bad. The media should move on...find another person to create fake news about.
The media hasn't moved on from shilling and propagandizing for the Dems, Libs and Progs (hence their fallen and falling trust and credibility polling).
THAT shilling and propagandizing is what the media should really be moving on from.
 
So many baseless and fact free accusations against Musk in this thread. It's ridiculous and just projection.
 
LOL for anyone who doesn't realize that Musk will still be doing what he does out of the spotlight and laughing all the way to the bank.
I'll be fine with it. It's where he should have stayed all along.
 
Musk took his DOGE chainsaw to the very government agencies that regulate his many businesses.

And don't think Musk had no part in the US government accepting Afrikaner immigrants at the expense of Afghan immigrants.
 
I have a feeling when congress changes hands next election, you'll be seeing a lot of Musk testifying under oath about all the damage and chaos he's caused America.
Can they do that? Can Congress require testimony about things that are under the Presidential Records Act?

"CNN) — The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday to step into a fight over whether the Department of Government Efficiency must turn over public documents – like other government agencies – or whether it is shielded from such requests because it is part of the White House."

Either that or he gets a one-way ticket back to S. Africa and stays there.
