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.

    No, a couple of weeks ago we heard his time was running out as a fake special government contractor bullshit whatever the trump chuds did to try and make it legal fora billionaire to fire everyone in the government as quickly as possible.

    Now, the time has actually run out.

    As we recall from the PREVIOUS (jfc) trump administration, absolutely nothing fucking happens of any consequence until many years after the demented rapist has left office.

    He’s done squashing the investigations into him and his companies.
