Summary
Elon Musk’s frequent presence at Mar-a-Lago and his involvement in sensitive conversations have raised concerns among Trump’s longstanding advisers, who view Musk as overly assertive and self-promoting.
Musk’s push for influence, including voicing policy ideas and taking credit for Trump’s win, has raised concerns about his motives and loyalty.
It’s funny… I said that when Trump dies it will be total chaos because all these people hate each other and they will all work as hard as possible to tear each other apart since Trump is the only thing that unites them.
Maybe we won’t have to wait for Trump to die.
I hope we don’t have to wait for the dorito to die. I just hope it happens within the next 4 years.
Elon Musk is a once in a generation business leader
That’s not a compliment, that’s a prerequisite to becoming everything Musk currently is. If “a generation” of people had been afforded even one percent of the privilege he’s received, Musk would’ve been outshined by more competent people long ago.
Please let them be too busy fighting amongst themselves these next four years they just are unable to get anything destructive done.
I am 100% in favor of teenage drama derailing their efforts to remove bodily autonomy from women.
That’s the plan. But while the government is ineffective, big businesses will have free reign to fuck us over.
True…but big business still needs us to buy their products, so we are of some use to them
At least that wouldn’t be some new dystopian nightmare. Just the same old run of the mill dystopian nightmare we’ve already been living in.
Maybe Elon is playing a 5D chess long game to reduce Trumps harm and help humanity
He a) isn’t that smart and b) would have fucked that plan by handing him all the power with all that money and making the weird incel vote even more guaranteed.
Maybe my 20yo mini dachshund is planning on producing a flux capacitor, but I’ll believe that before i believe your fantasy.
Hopefully it’s only 2 years if dems can win back seats during the midterms
I’m sorry for being harsh, but the only reason the democrats exist is to slow down the fascists ever so slightly and then just peacefully hand over power to the fascists when they gain control again.
We need real change, the kind of change that only comes from a revolution. The democrats do not give a shit about you. They serve only the wealthy.
Stop believing their lies. Go out there and unionise!!
Trump has a habit of burning everyone close to him the second it is either (A) useful to him or (B) they are no longer unswerving loyal to their fuhrer. Musk is a dumbshit nepobaby who can’t shut the fuck up and steals credit for everything he’s near that he didn’t ruin. It’s only a matter of time before Trump burns Musk, and all I can ask for is that it completely ruins them both.
It will only ruin Musk. Which would still be ok.
Musk is far richer than Trump could ever dream of being. Trump might be president, but Musk can use his money to get away with anything.
So it will be a fun fight to watch.
I can’t really see 2 egos of that size coexisting. I’m terrified of being wrong about that in this case though
Did you see Don’s face when Elon was doing his jumping shit? Don’s already sick of him, and only keeping him around because he’s worth so much.
Donny always needs about tree fitty.
“So I said, ‘monster, what are you gonna do with tree fitty?’”
“Oh Lawd, they’d didn’t bring a sacrifice chile.”
They can’t get too close, or the masses of their egos will rip spacetime a new blackasshole.
My coping fantasy plays off of their arrogance. Imagine it. On the day of Trump’s inauguration, he admits that climate change is real and shouts, “good luck, suckers,” as he and Musk board a SpaceX rocket bound for Mars.
A guy can dream. lol
And it explodes on the launchpad?
Is that dream too big?
Let em both get eaten by Brontorocs.
Trump is not someone who likes to share the stage.
Trump’s longstanding advisers, who view Musk as overly assertive and self-promoting.
Sounds like “trumps longstanding advisors” are worried they did all this work to get trump in power to use him are seeing musk come in and begin to use trump instead of them.
Pretty much. His advisors have quietly expressed “concern” to the media about a lot of things, and they go nowhere.
Every once in a while, it does. Laura Loomer seems to have been forgotten. That might just be Trump getting bored with sleeping with her, though.
People should be afraid of musk. He’s gone completely mad with power. He doesn’t have to BE the president to be the hand in the puppet. Trump would be difficult to control, but whoever follows trump will be hand-picked.
Honestly, once Trump gets sworn in, I assume the people around him who want to implement Project 2025 won’t have any more use for him. That’s why Vance is there, just look at his track record, he knows how to play ball.
I can only pray that they all tear each other to shreds.
Musk is probably more popular inside and outside the administration.
No way trump can handle being in anyone’s shadow.
I suspect Musk’s welcome is as long as his chequebook. I think trump sees the $, if his “advisors” are offering him less $ I doubt Trump cars to listen.
The only issue might be if any of it could be proven to be criminal bribery - that seems unlikely though.
Trump is literally and figuratively immune against any prosecution. He raped children, stole and killed millions.
I am no American, but at this point I think he could produce and distribute CP right in the oval office and nothing would happen. And that is the one thing next to murder, he didn’t already commit publicly.
Oh man, I would love to see Musk be the first purged from his administration. Maybe he will take the hint and stay out of the public eye after Trumpers turn on him.
Maybe he will take the hint and stay out of the public eye after Trumpers turn on him.
Do you really believe that? I have a hard time even imagining something like that. He loves himself waaaay too much to do this. Being hated seems to be some kind of achievement for him and he’s proud of it.
No, of course not… But if other people on here can dream about a future where the political makeup of Congress matters, or where an actual progressive party can organize and survive, then I can dream too.
He’s also the only appointee who’s sharing his power with someone else. Ramaswamy and Musk will not work well together.
Looks like we’ll be bringing back Mooches as a measure of political tenure soon.
If it happens fast enough we can have an Elon as a smaller unit.
Let the infighting begin! Trump hires the worst people and creates a toxic “vie for the king’s attention” atmosphere.
I wonder how many mooches he’ll last.
Trump hires the worst people and creates a toxic “vie for the king’s attention” atmosphere.
Now thats a mutually assured destruction scenario I’d be in favor of.
Maybe we can help it along by stomaching a little tactical truth social posting
He’s an accelerationist. He knows the death of America is coming and wants to be sitting pretty, real close to the top when it happens; so he can use his money to become king.
Which is several layers of stupid, seriously most of the time when empires collapse the ones in power are either remains of the old bureaucracy or warlords. The rich are usually a non factor unless they already fit into one of the previous two situations. None of the billionaires have enough hard power to pull that off in the long term.
I’m hungry and Elon looks nice and plump.
Fucking gross.
I agree. We shouldn’t eat the rich. We should beat the rich. Repeatedly and for great lengths of time. Possibly with spiky objects. I’m sure we can beat the rich out of them if we keep at it long enough. It might take years and years, but if we just keep beating the rich…
Agreed, he probably has enough drugs in him that its ruined his flesh.
The only redeeming feature of this whole sorry mess will be watching those hyaenas constantly tearing each other apart.
