He is over 100 days, so he is not even leaving but spreading "wisely" his remaining 30 days. Trump and co. are pretending like Musk is going away because he wants to, but they are gaslighting.
And when it comes to his position in Tesla, even if they removed him as CEO, he still has the majority of Tesla stocks, so unless Tesla goes down, he will still have money to bribe politicians, judges and in other ways buy Trump what he needs to be a dictator.
Actually, although he is its largest shareholder, Musk does not own ‘the majority of Tesla stock’. Various sources list his holdings as between 13% and 17% of the company. Yes, that’s plenty of money, but not enough to keep him from being forced out.
As for his tenure at DOGE, if Trump really wanted to keep him, he’d be there. Laws don’t matter anymore.
