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.
Musk is probably more popular inside and outside the administration.
No way trump can handle being in anyone’s shadow.
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.
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 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.
Useful idiot has served his limited purpose.
One can only hope.
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.
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.
Dude literally thinks he's Ozymandias from Watchmen. His entire existence is so fucking cringe.
He can't pretend to save the world if the world isn't ending.
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.
Agreed, he probably has enough drugs in him that its ruined his flesh.
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...
