I didn't leave it out, it doesn't matter to my point. I refute the part about "winning" because clearly the protest did nothing to Musk it only had severe negative effects on thousands of other people.
He left his position as planned from the beginning, the protest had zero effect on what he did trough DOGE.
That's not true. DOGE did not achieve it's goals of massive cuts. Unless the real goal was stealing information.
The negative effects were on all the people fired, thus why Virginia swung massively toward the Democrats in the 2025 elections.
You are moving the goal post. I never said DOGE did achieve anything.
You said the protest lead to him no longer be part of the administration which is factually incorrect. His position was limited from the start and he left as planned.
It is accurate to state that we don’t know if the protests had any influence on how things went down with DOGE. It is equally accurate to state that we don’t know if they didn’t have any influence on it. It is not accurate to state that he left as planned since the announcements of the USG change by the minute and don’t mean a thing.

To claim that his role at DOGE was clear is incorrect. Musk’s position was unclear.
Even the DOGE was opaque and its status unclear. Having him with a black eye and chainsaw organising anything was madness. Even Trump eventually saw it.
