Scoop w/Saleha Mohsin -- Elon's now deeply involved in Trump's Treasury battle. He spoke yesterday with Scott Bessent, who he'd dumped on days earlier:

Don the Con and Elon

ditmarsgrandpa.bsky.social•193 days ago

Trump is Chairman. Musk is CEO. Wonder how Vance feels getting them their morning coffee?

Someone needs to get Elon on the cover of Time or a 60 Minutes exclusive and get him to talk about how popular he is.

je-suis-me.bsky.social•193 days ago

I remember when Republicans blew their stack because then 1st Lady Hillary Clinton appeared in Congress with a health plan. At least the Clintons went thru Congress.

bob-unclebuck.bsky.social•193 days ago

I didn’t notice Musk’s name on any ballot, the stunted asswagon is strutting around like the palace is his.

je-suis-me.bsky.social•193 days ago

Well isn't it? Seems so...

debhayward.bsky.social•193 days ago

Ugh. I hate this because Musk wasn’t on the ticket. He’s not even eligible!!!!

President Musk and VP trump

doremusjessup.bsky.social•193 days ago

Why do I get the feeling the Bessent v Lutnick decision will have huge ramifications for the future of the United States?

Can someone make that guy from Total Recall but with Trump and Elon?

possibilizer.bsky.social•193 days ago

I bet JD is stewing.

carolh747.bsky.social•193 days ago

Fuck Leon

bradreed1.bsky.social•193 days ago

Who needs the Senate's advice and consent when you have Elon?

intrepidopossum.bsky.social•193 days ago

LOL. Yes, spread the positive reinforcement. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

pubfatherofharlem.bsky.social•193 days ago

Across all platforms.

johnjackson.bsky.social•193 days ago

I imagine there is going to be quite a game of tug-of-war between Trump and Musk, since neither of them are secure enough to give up power or influence.

mechelle51.bsky.social•193 days ago

Your sarcasm always has me laughing

millienyc.bsky.social•193 days ago

Where's JD?

kimberlee727.bsky.social•193 days ago

Yes! We should share everywhere we can that DJT is cowering to Musk bcse he’s not up to the job!

arkenor.bsky.social•193 days ago

He likes looking like he's in charge, but he likes money even more. Musk can easily keep him placated with his pocket change.

georgia5280.bsky.social•193 days ago

Qlon RASPUTIN Icarus Musk.

bearcountrystudio.bsky.social•193 days ago

He should have heard that in prison, not the WH

antifageezer.bsky.social•192 days ago

Shouldn't Trump's Treas Sec be the guy who swindled the most people in crypto?

bostonrichmond.bsky.social•193 days ago

And has anyone seen the actual VP elect???

bostonrichmond.bsky.social•193 days ago

So unbelievable what is happening

beingsass.bsky.social•193 days ago

I'm not looking forward to Elmos austerity that leads up to a bitcoin economy, however.

diotimaellen.bsky.social•193 days ago

Two men with one brain between them--what could possibly go wrong?? Or: two sets of psychological dysfunction--how couldn't that be successful?

2 washed up narcissists that have nowhere to go but ⬇️

tday01.bsky.social•193 days ago

This whole thing with Elon will not end well.

jpz0.bsky.social•193 days ago

This just sets the scene for Musk to carry the can for any idiotic decisions he’s pushed through with Trump.

I think Trump will see him as a purse anyway.

ne1970.bsky.social•193 days ago

Trump doesn’t care about “presidenting.” His job is to keep his base riled up. That’s his main objective as “president.”

mkwilson27.bsky.social•193 days ago

The fact Trump’s right-hand man was an illegal immigrant that committed fraud to get legal status kind of kills the whole “he’s not a racist” argument, doesn’t it?

caper55.bsky.social•193 days ago

Who didn’t think Musk was buying himself a country. Anything else was naive.

jenbradford.bsky.social•193 days ago

I shudder to think what kind of private understanding they pretend to have.

newlevelofhell.bsky.social•189 days ago

Where's VD Vance? Does anyone remember his name and title?

jwcross.bsky.social•193 days ago

Whoever has the most billions is probably the bestest and smartest and should be in charge.

absolutelynats.bsky.social•193 days ago

Yes, it's very wise of him! We should also publicly thank Elon for stepping in and to help the old guy. Where would we be without him?

katznbooks.bsky.social•193 days ago

Musk will last until he takes Donald's spotlight. Then Donald won't know him.

arizonadesertrat.bsky.social•193 days ago

shadow4me.bsky.social•193 days ago

Check out history. Who was in charge prior to The Great Depression as the Stock Market fell? Billionaires. So having Elon calling the shots doesn't give me any comfort.

joemamma1963.bsky.social•192 days ago

How long before Trump pushes Elon out of his orbit? There's no way Musk, Trump and Ramaswamy can co exist. There's only enough room for one maniacal ego maniac.

mbou.bsky.social•193 days ago

It shows great humility. A well known part of Trump’s character.

bdemayo.bsky.social•193 days ago

Lmao Trump needs a Nanny

catherder333.bsky.social•193 days ago

I wonder how much each of these folks has paid for a cabinet position?

thamilton007.bsky.social•193 days ago

Trump is unwell and unfit for Office…

imgadgett.bsky.social•192 days ago

as on twitter i find it useless to send news links behind a page paywall most if it don’t even see what your commenting section on and too many to pay to care

npkendrapc.bsky.social•193 days ago

I’m not sure how 2 narcissistic billionaires can be in the same orbit

joshuagreen.bsky.social•193 days ago

Waiting for someone to do this cover with Elon...

kennethbaer.bsky.social•193 days ago

It's almost like Trump made some sort of nefarious deal with Musk -- a devil's bargain perhaps?

citizen12345.bsky.social•193 days ago

And what role will
Bannon have in this admin?

putfattytowork.bsky.social•193 days ago

I agree. Trump is always in over his head. You can tell when he improvises comments on specifics of anything, he bluffs his way through all situations. Some people think he's lying, I think he just copes with himself and his limitations. Unfortunately we as a country will all suffer.

chloerow.bsky.social•193 days ago

Anyone else recall how angry he became when Bannon got the cover of time? It HUMILIATED him, as it would any narcissist. (Cc: @ourshallowstate.bsky.social )

I’m eager for Time to do a cover featuring all his shadow presidents, but not sure how they’d fit them all on the cover.

bluegrassgal.bsky.social•193 days ago

RFKjr could face the same issues too.

chloerow.bsky.social•193 days ago

His is one of the faces I have firmly in mind. I believe @meidastouch.bsky.social shared video of T warning RFK not to get any more popular. His fragile ego just can’t take it. I think it’d be smart for Dems to hammer the idea of a shadow army of presidents hard, to get it into public consciousness.

chloerow.bsky.social•193 days ago

I also think it’s a sure way to get him to retaliate against those shadow presidents, too.

sydnecatherine.bsky.social•193 days ago

Musk is Trump’s Russian handler

je-suis-me.bsky.social•193 days ago

My money's always been on Melania.

sydnecatherine.bsky.social•182 days ago

That man needs more than one handler

kelleybuz.bsky.social•193 days ago

Every sense the 1st term
First Lady took off, anyway

USA is turning into an oligarchy right before our eyes!

millie66.bsky.social•193 days ago

Trump's four years will bring the US economy to a higher level.

fridaghitis.bsky.social•193 days ago

He needs to see this

citizen12345.bsky.social•193 days ago

Do you think Musk is doing elder abuse?

ubnsrvd.bsky.social•193 days ago

Leon is REALLY getting on his nerves.

paulaptb.bsky.social•193 days ago

Wasn't Bannon done in once he was referred to as "Trump's Brain?" Musk is on that same trajectory.

fighttowin.bsky.social•193 days ago

I will be keeping my eyes 👀 glued on this nomination- we all know how well Steve Mnuchin worked out, helped himself to millions on his way out, by cutting deals

ramblingbruin.bsky.social•193 days ago

First, I didn't vote for the orange dumpster. Second, I don't remember seeing Elon Musk, a Naturalized Citizen, S.African, incapable of ever campaigning to be president, on the ballot. If the orange dumpster is incapable, that becomes Vance, the VP's problem. Oligarchs & Autocracy are not Democracy.
