"Musk’s team said it saved the country $115 billion by slashing wasteful and redundant spending. Not everyone agrees, but he feels he has the country on track and he can step aside."

Lackluster reporting. The article misses the fact that he has to step down as he's a special government employee and so can only work for 130 days.

Strange that that's the one law that he decided to follow.

The Russian constitution omly allowed 2 consecutive terms.

Putin endorsed Medvedev, who served 1 term, then Putin resumed power afterwards.

At which point he removed the 2 term restriction.

They've already found another placeholder.
