Episode notes

Elon Musk and President Donald Trump have recently suggested that the billionaire entrepreneur's time in the administration might be running out. Musk says he could be done with his work at the Department of Government Efficiency in the near future. Trump has told reporters that Musk will go back to running his companies and that DOGE “will end” at some point. All of that talk came before Musk faced a setback on Tuesday in Wisconsin, where voters rejected his choice for a closely contested state Supreme Court candidate. Chris Cooper, Western Carolina Political Science Professor, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the political implications of Musk’s departure.
