Elon Leaves DOGE To Focus On Kids, No, Wait, Tesla

Richest man in the world and part-time most powerful man in the world, Elon Reeve Musk (‘erm’ for short) has announced that he will be significantly cutting back from his work at DOGE in order to focus on his kids, no, wait, sorry I meant Tesla.

Erm has 14 children, but they’ve all got their own thing going on. However, Tesla stock has taken a massive hit this year and needs some more of that invaluable Musky attention.

But CEO Elon Musk assures stockholders that this is all part of the plan. Tesla stock is actually programmed to self-drive in this direction.

When asked to clarify by a confused everyone, Musk took to X to explain that, “We have a feature with the Tesla autopilot where, when there’s an emergency, the stock will just drive headfirst into a pit, making a really cool explosion. It’s all part of DOGE’s cost-cutting measures, after all, a bankrupt company has to downsize, saving everyone money.”

Elon reportedly set the company to self-drive mode while he was away. Now that it’s driven off a canyon, however, Musk will return to take the wheel and spend just one to two days a week on DOGE.

So Long Elon

DOGE, or if you want to be more efficient you can call it “the (not technically a department) Department of Government Efficiency (like the dog meme)”, is just one of the many government organizations you can’t believe are real alongside Space Force, the Board of Tea Appeals, and the CIA.

Even though another layoff would make DOGE more efficient, it seems unlikely that Musk will step down completely from DOGE because he paid a lot of money to get there.

As Trump’s first presidency already demonstrated, a government is just like a company in every single way, and a person who can kind of run multiple companies at once can handle little government on the side. Elon runs a lean ship: at Tesla, he replaced all the drivers with AI, at Twitter, he replaced all the users with bots, and all the letters in the name with just one. Much more efficient.

And Musky Man has now made similar changes to government, replacing all government officials with Grok and ‘The Federal Government of the United States of America’? Ugh, what a mouthful, how about just a nice, lean 𝕏.

Commenting on Musk in a 2022 Truth Social post, Trump said, “When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless and tell me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, “drop to your knees and beg,” and he would have done it.”

Nicola Tesla Said To Be ‘Rolling In Grave’

As for Tesla, reportedly, they have delivered just 336,681 cars this quarter, compared to 386,810 last year. Now, I’m no mathematician, but those look like the exact same numbers to me.

This development follows a difficult year for TSLA. Even though President Trump has pledged to replace the presidential motorcade with Cybertrucks, the car company took a bigger hit from the new auto tariffs. In response, Musk introduced new three-wheeled Teslas to work around Trump’s 25% tariff (you can’t tax a quarter if you’re missing a quarter!).

Teslas have also been hit by vandals over the past few weeks, and a suicide fire-worker in January. Similarly, Musk’s ‘Cyberlegs’ project failed to materialize. Man, sucks to be the richest man alive, huh.

But all of this is a footnote to Tesla’s real problem: China.

China is pulling ahead as the largest EV market in the world, making them cheaper, hotter and more Chinese than anything Tesla could possibly make. Now, I might not be Chinese, but I sure can recognize when I see a premium vehicle and a quality product. That’s the kind of feeling you get from a Chinese EV.
