Seems like a non-story, why wouldn't trump simply pardon them? These would be some of the more obvious pardons to hand out, and there's clearly no longer a precedent by either party to hand out pardons sparingly.
The whole point is that Musk is no longer in with Trump, and that really the whole DOGE thing is fairly clearly an embarrassing failure for Trump. Why on earth would he pardon them?
Really, this was pretty much the inevitable outcome from the start; Trump was always going to cut them loose.
