Elon’s such a loser he’s even outcast by his own.

He accomplished all he set out to do, with one caveat, because he stood in the bad limelight his image and monetary value took a serious nosedive. This last part is why he now is standing in the back, yet leering around the room wherever the president is.
The one thing he was aspiring towards did receive a huge blow, he was racing to become the world's first trillionaire. And it might just be a setback that he can catch up with, but for now he does need to focus to try and crank all his stocks back up...
what's with the claims of south african genocide currently being pushed, then?
Bullshit. He got pretty much everything he wanted, including gigantic government contracts for his businesses, while stopping all investigations into his criminal activity and negligent products. Also got to get high on swinging his dick around a lot, and still has trump offering him more favors for more money.
Yes, but -like trump- he will shout stupid shit to draw away the attention from the main cause..... because people will take offense
It's never enough for these assholes. Musk wants the whole world to bend to his will because he bought the government fair and square. Some uppity government employee shouldn't tell him he doesn't have the authority to install more puppets in these agencies.
It wouldn't be a Trump administration without reality TV drama. That harms millions of people.
How crazy to be the useful idiot’s useful idiot.
Two attention hungry vainglorious narcissists can’t exist in the same space for long.
I wonder if Elon knows he's a scapegoat. Like obviously he's a villain brought in to do a bunch of shit that was always in the Trump plan but would be unpopular with a bunch of people so Trump's team could say "Oh no! We didn't do any of that stuff it was all this evil Musk guy!" I just wonder if he knows that. He is pretty stupid in a lot of ways, but I really don't think he's truly dumb enough to not realize that was his role in the Trump admin, but he is also increasingly delusional about his own skill and intelligence so maybe that won out.
They all hate Trump too because he's cut from the same cloth.
Such nonsense. Musk was along for the ride on the recent Middle East trip. The staff may hate him, but HitlerPig is keeping him close. He's going to need him to hack the next few elections.
If things are quieter, it's only because his board threatened to replace him after that disastrous earnings call, which has to have stoked threats of a shareholder lawsuit. The stock tanked as a direct result of his irresponsible behavior, which has done irreparable damage to the company's brand image, and the stockholders aren't going to just accept the loss of millions of dollars.
So he's keeping a low profile right now, until things cool off, but his presence on the Mideast trip means HitlerPig still wants him around.
He was still there in the room when Trump was talking to South Africa's President Ramaphosa. He's trying to keep himself out of the spotlight but he's still there in the wings.
“Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!” a typically mild-mannered Bessent was heard shouting after Musk as they charged down the halls of the West Wing.
Video?
He did everything he set out to do. Gutted every agency that got in his way of doing whatever he wanted with his companies. That's not fair. He needs to be jailed for this sabotage of our government. Let's not let some narrative of failure muddy the water on him actually doing those things
His companies should be seized and nationalized to repay all the damage he caused.
Agreed
Unfortunately, the only justice the Musk family will likely receive will be after his death when his offspring face guillotines.
guillotines is much too generous of a Just outcome. We need something slower.
I'm happy to give Grimes first pull of the rope
He, like orange donnie, was born a failure.
That's OK though. Libs were owned. Another event that will do nothing to harm the support from Trumps base.
No amount of death or self-harm matters to magas as long as libs were owned and some brown people were put in their place.
I think some of them are starting to wake up to the reality that their economic position will not improve under their god-emperor.
I dunno, I hope you are right, but every time I see a headline like that it turns out to be a feel-good article based on two random disgruntled twitter posters or something.
If Trump pissed his pants on live TV his MAGats would tell you that he's a genius who invented a self dying cloth.
Elon left the White House an utter failure.
No, he didn’t. He killed all the government investigations into him and awarded his companies huge contracts worth $billions for the foreseeable future. He achieved everything he really set out to do. DOGE was just the distraction.
He did leave as an utter failure - not because of what he accomplished or didn't accomplish, but because he was already an utter failure of a human being the day he arrived in the White House.
Is everyone forgetting the data access this guy has now? He accessed EVERYTHING and his script kiddies installed a ton of shit
He did exactly what he was supposed to do Got the private information of every single person we have records on. That's a goddamn huge win for his fragile self
Most people have absolutely zero idea about the access they had and what they could have copied.
Elon left the White House an utter failure.
Socially, yes. And he hates it. He's a narcissist, I doubt he will think of it as a success. OTOH, that's exactly what he's been doing for decades: failing yet still coming out richer afterwards.
Honestly it baffles me that this is enough to become the richest person in the world.
When will we learn that he actively influences these statistics to stroke his ego?
Failing upward is the new norm. Probably because of all the sub-par people of generational wealth clogging the drains of society.
I think elon's responsiveness to criticism stems more from his autism than narcissism.
I don't think he has the mental faculties necessary to go against the influence of his peers. In many ways, he's doing exactly what people expect him to.
I hope that some day Elon comes to realize that he is utterly alone. No one, and I mean no one likes him. Everyone in his life that is friendly or supportive to his face, is putting on a show trying to get money from him or through their association with him. The assortment of adoring losers that identify with him, are merely chasing a mirage. They don’t adore him, only the fictional character that he’s constructed for PR purposes. He has to buy friends. He has to buy sex and offspring. He even has to buy the illusion of trivial accomplishments like progress in video games. He is peak loser, everyone can see it, and only a few are willing to lie to his face in exchange for maybe getting some cash. No amount of money, or fear driven bigotry, or trolling, or descendants will ever fill the gaping hole in that fetid husk he calls a soul. If there is any justice, he will be moping, riddled with regret about all this someday whenever he gets around to dying, alone in some dusty metaphorical corner.
he knows, why do you think he does what he does
Yeah I don’t buy it. Republicans are trying to save face. They cheered him on the entire election.
Imagine having to put up with two self-absorbed billionaire asshats at the office every day.
You don't join the Trump team unless you are a self-absorbed asshole, so everybody there should be used to it.
I don't doubt it, however I was thinking more about admin, IT, & support staff, housekeeping, kitchen staff, security, the Marines, and all the rest of the folks who keep the gears oiled and turning.
Well, at least we can all agree with Scott Bessent on something.
Makes sense that he's now saying no more politics. I'd say he should throw money at the Dems except Lord knows those people don't need more billionaire donors, either.
Can we just have a government of the people, please?
Lol we are supposed to believe Musk bought a presidency and is going to just leave his money-making rule-breaking new toy alone?
Yeah right, and monkeys could fly out of my butt.
