In a move straight out of his tenure at X, the everything app, Elon Musk announced his departure from Washington last week. His sudden exit comes after six months of dismantling the federal government, failed space launches, potentially killing hundreds of thousands of the world’s poorest children, and, allegedly, joining a disgusting throuple with Stephen Miller and his wife, Katie. Musk, of course, isn’t leaving entirely. As Splinter notes, his chief lieutenants remain in place, and even Musk says he’ll continue working with the government. A DOGEing this is not.
Regardless, The Daily Show ran with the idea that Musk’s time as a special government employee is ending and used his supposed exit to discuss what working for the Trump administration has done to him. They certainly had a lot to go on. From the fresh black eye Musk was sporting during his final humiliating press conference to the cocktail of drugs The New York Times reported Musk was ingesting on the campaign trail, Musk looked like a total wreck as Trump handed him the golden commemorative key. It wasn’t the last indignity, Stewart says. Trump undid whatever DOGE had been doing for the previous six months with his Big Beautiful Bill that will increase government spending by $200 billion. Musk says he believes this “undermined” the work DOGE did, such as cutting off support to USAID, which experts believe could kill as many as 163,500 kids per year from malnutrition.
