Do we think Trump is laying groundwork to throw Elon under the bus?

It's always been when, not if

Gee I wonder why it was necessary for the President to tell his [checks notes] Senate-confirmed cabinet heads that they, not Elon Musk, are in charge of the federal departments that they were selected to run

it's trying to cover someone's ass, i'm just not clued in enough to tell who.

nixon couldn't do what they're trying to do, and he was pretty clever for a racist piece of shit.

No,it’s a legal maneuver. He is trying to stop judges from enjoining his policies, mass firings of federal employees, and terminating funding. He and his idiot attorneys think this is the way to get courts to rubber stamp his executive orders and DOGE cuts/firings.

Makes the Cabinet responsible, not Trump or Musk. So they are under that bus and can deal with the legal fight while Musk continues to wreck everything.

no. just creating a situation that they can possibly defend better in court. also he's already basically walked it back.

I personally think Musk is this term's Bannon. People were relieved when he went but ultimately it just got worse. Same here.

It's a CYA, both legally and in case Musk needs to go

Not in my opinion. I think this is their attempt to re-establish his liability shield after Trumps dumb ass admitted he was heading DOGE at the SOTU

I’d say they’re playing a giant game of “I’m not touching you” with the courts

Blatantly lying, making shit up because they know the courts will defer to them, and allow them their most important resource right now - time - which they will use to burn the system to the ground
