CNN boosts its status of "Fox News Lite" with a Musk headline that's 100% pure horseshit

As Musk steps back, DOGE moves forward with more cuts, sweeping agency changes

I don't believe that Musk has "stepped back" for one second.
I believe he was told that he could no longer be the "face" of the brand, that Trump wasn't getting any mileage out him bouncing around like a drugged chimpanzee with his nose-picking brat on his shoulders.
The damage has already been done, and Musk cloned all of the database data he wanted.

People were torching Tesla dealerships. Since he stopped mugging for the camera with his circus freak selfies, you haven't heard much about that, have you?

Most folks at DU probably know this, but CNN is being run by two Rupert Murdoch-wannabe right wing billionaire boy pals, David Zaslav and John Malone. 100% of the "WHATABOUTISM" on the channel, and Republicans coming on to recite the latest talking points, is at their insistence. The "Trump Town Hall" was THEIR IDEA. Chris Licht took the fall for it, but it was their "brainchild."

1. Musk has stepped back, but his cronies remain. Headline is accurate, IMO.

2. I see it more as "stepping aside out of the spotlight" than "stepping back," but...

...he inflicted the damage he'd intended, so it's ultimately a moot point.
