Elon Says 'So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen' to Trump's Washington: A Swiftie's Take

From 'Teardrops on My Guitar' to 'Tearsheets on My Desk'

Okay Swifties gather 'round. It seems our favorite rocket man Elon Musk is hanging up his political hat after a brief stint trying to make Washington a little less…'Begin Again' ish. Apparently he was tackling 'wasteful spending' for President Trump which sounds about as fun as untangling Christmas lights after a cat party. Let's be real 'All Too Well,' I know what it's like to try and fix something that's well beyond repair. But hey at least he tried right? Or did he? *cue dramatic music*

DOGE Days Are Over (Or Are They?)

Elon's been leading the 'Department of Government Efficiency' – or DOGE because apparently everything needs a catchy acronym these days. It sounds like something out of a dystopian novel but I guess he was trying to 'Shake It Off' and trim the fat. He even said something about the '@DOGE mission' becoming a 'way of life' which honestly sounds like a lyric from a rejected pop song. But get this he's apparently keeping an office at the White House. So is he really leaving or is this just the 'Calm Before the Storm?'

Congress Conflicts & CBS Confessions!

In a CBS interview airing June 1 Elon called out Trump's spending bill. Apparently it 'undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing.' Insert record scratch sound effect! You know it's giving similar vibes to when your ex says they miss you but then shows up to your party with someone else. 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' should be playing loud and clear right now!

SpaceX Tesla and Saving the World (Maybe?)

Now Elon's going back to his day job – you know running Tesla SpaceX and whatever xAI is up to (probably something involving robots and world domination let's be real). He says he'll be spending less time on government stuff which is good news for anyone who owns a Tesla and is worried about him accidentally launching their car into orbit. I mean 'Out of the Woods' doesn't quite cover that scenario!

Legal Battles & 40 Hour Fan Demands

But wait there's more! Legal risks are piling up faster than my cats shed during the summer. Apparently some pension fund leaders are demanding he put in at least 40 hours a week at Tesla. Forty hours! That's like two whole albums worth of songwriting time! This is giving me major 'Mean' energy honestly let the man multi task. It will be a cruel summer for Tesla if he doesn't put in the work right?

So What Now? (Wildest Dreams)

So there you have it Swifties. Elon's leaving Washington possibly to focus on rockets and electric cars but not without a few legal bumps in the road. Will he succeed? Will DOGE live on? 'Only Time Will Tell,' but one thing's for sure: this whole saga is more dramatic than any music video I've ever made. Time to grab the popcorn cue up 'Blank Space,' and speculate wildly! 'Long Live' the drama!
