Joke? What joke? President Musk is proof that the American Dream is well and alive if a South African who isn't even legally a US American Citizen can buy himself a country as long as he works hard spending the money earned from his father's child-slave powered emerald mine.... Well there's hope for the rest of us*

Oh man, President Musk isn't going to like this. Good thing Trump is too chickenshit to voice this more publicly.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 days ago

He can't voice it publicly or he'll get fired!!

It's not a joke if it's true.

“hates ‘President Musk’ joke”

I mean… isn’t that the whole point? Wouldn’t his “big brain” understand that most obvious of ploys?

President Musk doesn’t care, he’s going to get what he paid for and then some. Pray he doesn’t alter the deal further.

President Musk and first boyfriend Trump, what a combo.

Or first bestie?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

First man, Trump. It'll get on his nerves.

Good. Glad it is working.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

It isn't a joke, sadly.

Elon is about to be POTUS, but hey you'll be there too Donnie. Every President needs a first lad.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 3 days ago

What joke? He bought the presidency, and Thiel bought Vance for the vice presidency. It's the Musk/Theil ticket featuring the old guy who signs bills, and the guy who will replace old guy when old guy does.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago

You love to see it!

...don't really give a shit if he's annoyed with Musk. Please put him in prison.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It is unclear, who do you want locked in prison?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Porque no los dos?
