**Elon Musk Steps Down from Trump’s DOGE Role, Yet His Political Influence Remains Ahead of Midterms**
In a shocking twist that has left the political world scratching its collective head, Elon Musk has officially stepped down from his unofficial role as the “Supreme Doge Commander” for Donald Trump’s midterm campaign. The decision came after Musk realized that tweeting about Dogecoin was far less stressful than trying to explain to his mother why he was involved in politics.
“I thought I could just send a few tweets and make America Doge Again,” Musk said in a press conference that was held in a virtual reality space filled with floating Shiba Inu puppies. “But then I realized I can’t even get my Tesla to stop playing ‘Baby Shark’ on repeat. I’m not ready for the political arena.”
Despite his departure, sources close to the situation say Musk’s influence is still very much alive. “He’s like a ghost in the machine,” said political analyst and part-time fortune teller, Crystal Ballington. “You can’t see him, but you can definitely feel the chaos he leaves behind.”
Meanwhile, Trump has reportedly been searching for a new Doge Commander, with potential candidates including Kanye West, who suggested they just “let the dogs out” and see what happens. “I’m not saying I’m qualified,” West said, “but I do have a lot of experience with barking orders.”
As the midterms approach, political insiders are left wondering if Musk’s departure will lead to a Dogecoin crash or a meteoric rise. “It’s like trying to predict the weather in Texas,” said local weatherman and amateur astrologer, Sunny Skies. “You just never know when a tornado of memes will hit.”
In the meantime, Musk has promised to focus on more pressing matters, like colonizing Mars and figuring out how to make a flamethrower that also serves as a toaster. “I’m just trying to make the world a better place, one meme at a time,” he concluded, before accidentally tweeting a picture of a cat instead of a dog.
As the midterms loom, one thing is clear: whether he’s tweeting about Dogecoin or launching rockets, Elon Musk will always find a way to keep us entertained—if not slightly confused.
