So let me get that straight, you spent hundreds of millions of dollars to get a guy, who you think should be impeached and is guilty of underage sex, to be the president of the United States?
He spent hundreds of millions to scrape personal data of all US citizens and cripple investigations into his businesses.
This is the real bottom line, right here
He KNEW about the underage sex stuff when he spent the nearly 300 billion dollars too.
Is this a massive gamble by Elmo to rebuild his brand image by forcing me to agree with him on certain issues? Let’s not forget this was the same guy Nazi saluting this dude at his Inauguration a few short months ago.
No, its not. Musk is just salty Trump used and discarded him. You have to understand, these are just children who stumbled into power and never really grew up.
Yeah - nepo babies are like this. Made the mistake of marrying one, and any perceived slight needed punishment and retaliation.
I’m not forgetting anything. I’m just enjoying two enemies fight it out.
Can we have both of these? Please please please?
- Trump impeached
- Musk deported
I know there is some clause or stipulation that allows for the seizure of assets obtained by illegal immigrants.
Musk is an illegal immigrant who pursued business ventures in violation of his school visa and lied about it.
now we are talking
If we’re dreaming of fantasies that will never happen, I also want nationwide ranked-choice voting, and maybe we can overturn Citizens United Vs Federal Elections and stop allowing corporations to literally run our country.
Sadly enough, this won’t escalate into anything because Musk didn’t exactly have a lot of friends in the GOP even when Trump’s head was crammed shoulder-deep in his ass. He was only tolerated because the GOP had no other real choice, and they didn’t want to risk him funding a primary challenger. He has lots of money but no actual political clout. Which means I doubt there’s going to be a bunch of Republicans suddenly jumping to Team Musk.
He’ll probably go the Liz Cheney route of just being ostracized by everybody. But hey, it’ll be a hell of a lot of fun watching all this shit in the meantime.
I don’t know. He’s got tons of money and politicians are like flies to shit with money.
They’ll go where the voters go. If public sentiment among the MAGA base stays with Trump, so will they. And Musk isn’t popular enough among the MAGA base (outside of being a rich useful idiot) to significantly shake Trump’s hold.
His money is tied up in his companies, which are crashing. Tesla stock is dropping steadily, and the only reason it was making any money at all was because of EV credits, which go away in the Big Beautiful Bill. That’s why he hates it so much. It dooms Tesla, which will be bankrupt within two years.
Now he’s threatening to decommission the only American spacecraft that goes to the Space Station. That gives the government the excuse to cancel all contracts for Space X, or even confiscate it.
Kill Tesla and nationalize Space X, and he’s got nothing left.
Which means I doubt there’s going to be a bunch of Republicans suddenly jumping to Team Musk.
GOP grifters avoiding the biggest pile of money to grift, and you’re confident grifters will actively avoid it? I’m not so sure. I’m betting a number of opportunistic GOP will sign up on the Musk train if it means getting a paycheck/personal superpac donation.
Of course it’s far too early to tell how this is all going to shake out, but a number of articles are reporting that House Republicans are almost entirely on Trump’s side and lashing out at Musk. While there may be a few grifters from super-safe districts that may speak out, Trump is still the face of the party and his influence goes well beyond money; some of these people may stay on Trump’s side out of fear of retaliation, especially if sentiment among the rank-and-file MAGA base sticks largely with Trump.
I bet Thiel wants it too. Get his personalityless puppet into power quicker.
Who could see this coming said that one clueless guy who didn’t.
Consider this, JD Vance is Peter Thiel’s Acolyte, who desperately wants to bring about a global technocracy. What if all of this hasn’t been a genuine attempt yet. What if it’s merely theatre that has been setting the stage for Vance to take over. Trump gets to enrich his family beyond their wildest imagination, then he peaces out and the real horror begins.
I don’t see Vance flags on people’s trucks. I see Trump flags. I just don’t know that Vance gets the backing Trump does. I think the Rs capitulate to Trump so much because of his rabies base, and there’s this concern they’ll be replaced by someone who Trump endorses.
I do think it’s all a game for wealthy people, and we will just pay for it one way or another, regardless.
MAGA is a classic cult of personality. It’s all HitlerPig, there is no #2 waiting in the wings, not even his own spawn. When HitlerPig goes, MAGA is dead, and the backstabbing will become open warfare.
If the Dems can get their shit together, and have the spine to act, they’ll have the opportunity to sweep up the most corrupt traitors, and remove them from politics forever. They can hit a giant reset button on American politics.
Let’s see if they have the nerve for bold action on America’s behalf.
Why am I rooting for Elon Musk in 2025?
The enemy of my enemy is my enemies enemy. But they can still be useful.
Because he spent the last 4 months balls deep in everything relating to the government and probably has access to all the information he could ever want to take him down. I fucking hate the guy, but it’s one of those “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” kinda situation.
No, he was just gathering it to hand over to Palantir. Once again, Peter Thiel, the real CEO of paypal is the shadowy puppeteer.
Yes, I agree. We should put Trump in a peach and roll him off a cliff.
I wonder what all the conservative virtue signallers are going to do with their fully-loaded foundation edition cyberbeast cybertrucks now?
Mommy and daddy are fighting. 🫠
I really loathe narcistic billionaires and hate paying any attention to them at all. But 2 narcisstic billionaires fighting each other? That I like to watch.
The only disadvantage is that one of them will probably come out on top and become even more insufferable than he was before.
Next week headline “musk dead from ketimine overdose, that caused him fall on some bullettes”
Please don’t offer me a glimpse of hope. Not in these dark times.
Impeach Trump, deport Musk… but then Vance gets couch-cast ? I’d rather not see this happen
Who will win this fight?
Everybody!
Most likely they’re going to patch it up, roll-back their rhetoric and continue milking the federal piggy-bank for as long as they can, and their supporters won’t give a shit because they’re not supporting either of these clowns because they want sound fiscal leadership, these guys gained a following because they “hurt the right people” and that’s all anyone cares about now.
I’m sorry to be the bucket of cold water, but we gotta remember we’re not in a functional democracy anymore. This is more like some “last days of Rome” acts.
There’s some major schadenfreude in this, but never forget all of the damage that DOGE did to the government & countless numbers of its loyal employees.
