Summary

Elon Musk is distancing himself from sweeping federal job cuts linked to DOGE, blaming agency heads—not DOGE—responsible for mass layoffs, including the announced 70,000 job cut at Veterans Affairs.

Despite claiming DOGE’s role as merely advisory, Musk admitted to mistakes in private meetings with GOP lawmakers and pledged to correct them.

Some cuts have already been reversed, with a Trump administration memo clarifying agencies are not required to fire probationary employees (new hires).

What a fucking PUSSY lmfao. Guess all that Ketamine didn't """expand""" his mind after all.

Ketamine in small doses is sometimes proscribed to autistic people against stress. Not to expand something. Probably Elon overdid it.
