So there is the recent news that f-Elon will "step down" from Doge come May. While I am 100% that's just performative since he is the shadow president. He has already done massive damage to innocent people's lives.

I guess I just want to make sure we're all on the same page. We will still protest his business correct? He will undoubtedly still be meddling in the government and regardless I feel like we have a duty to keep up the pressure. Thoughts?

Stepping down is a diversion. The damage is done.

If someone breaks a law but then resigns from the job they had when they broke that law -- it doesn't mean they didn't break the law. Musk will always be a traitor POS.

I won't stop protesting until we make actual progress. Trump/Musk out of office, and constitution amended to prevent this dumpster fire from ever happening again. Not until people can afford places to live, and food to eat. Not until health care is guaranteed for all, not just for those who can afford it.

We can't stop just because the government changes over. We deserve better.

Musk was hired by Trump. It‘s not even close to over just because Musk stepped aside.

fElon has to step down. He is a "special government employee" and limited to 130 days.

Like when he said he would step down from Twitter
