Power and greed are hella motivators; he stands to gain many more billions from this alignment.

lebergerdavid.bsky.social•90 days ago

Let’s be real. Elon Musk bought the presidency for Trump. In return he gets control over Republicans and MAGA because he wants to amass more power and wealth.

rwarnick.bsky.social•90 days ago

If you can buy Twitter, buying the Republican Party is comparatively easy.

montanasierra.bsky.social•90 days ago

You could see this over a month ago when he was busy ingratiating himself into Trump's favor. He's a greedy twat and his motives are selfish and intrinsic. They reach beyond being Trump's little puppet.

alinasopinion36.bsky.social•90 days ago

It's clear already, Elon Musk is a criminal just like Trump. He came to America illegally, lying and God knows how many other crimes of money laundering and fraud he did to get so rich. Just like Trump.

fordslanding.bsky.social•90 days ago

Elonia’s motivation is best described in one word: POWER

hrsociology.bsky.social•90 days ago

I can solve this problem.

Go on Twitter X and talk about how Musk is in charge, how he’s smarter than Trump, manipulating Trump, Trump is being used and start some sh*t.

What’s your prediction for how long it would last?

emkey1.bsky.social•90 days ago

Musk can't be president. At least according to the US constitution. Not that the current so called Republican party has much actual respect for that document.

Trump is Putin's puppet first. How much influence Putin has on Musk remains to be seen. Putin/Musk/Trump are an unholy trinity for sure

onlyhuman-sorry.bsky.social•90 days ago

The richest man in the world wants even more power & wealth. Musk is the most dangerous man on the planet, along with Putin, Xi Jinping, Trump & a few other madmen in power. By aligning himself with Trump, Musk will make billions of $ and have control over the institutions that hold him accountable.

notyourcomrade.bsky.social•90 days ago

Personally I want to see a fist fight between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Elon Musk for control of the GOP. On pay per view.

yourdevilaries.bsky.social•90 days ago

Anybody already tired of Donald Trump's presidency and he haven't took office yet

blueskyphantom.bsky.social•90 days ago

Won’t last long. US doesn’t even have 6 months.

logicgrenade.bsky.social•90 days ago

I could not imagine a more bleak outlook on the future of the country I currently live in.

blueskyphantom.bsky.social•90 days ago

Sorry. It’s the truth tho.

valennb4.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yep. Trump is a tool.

billfreebird.bsky.social•90 days ago

The real sadness in the election of felon Trump , women will lose most of the rights they have worked towards for over a century, most don’t even realize it yet.

kimboellen.bsky.social•90 days ago

So effin true

citizenjones123.bsky.social•90 days ago

They’re only women…
And will be until they get tired of it.
Til then:”Your body, my choice.”

eliminatefascist.bsky.social•90 days ago

Omfg. Are you kidding? It was power and money. It’s not hard to figure out. Now he can give money to his own companies.

leadbullitt.bsky.social•90 days ago

This is one reason why I left twitter. Im not going to feed the beast. Also our politics are once again being bought and paid for by the 1%.

kimboellen.bsky.social•90 days ago

Over & over-

King of the Stupid - what a coup

jubilado251.bsky.social•90 days ago

Thank God he was born in South Africa.

reverendjesus.com•90 days ago

Don't have to BE president to wield power, especially if you own the whole party

magitek.bsky.social•90 days ago

This Supreme Court would be bribed to let it slide.

pmd0214.medsky.social•90 days ago

If you can't be a president then buy a president?

janetea4.bsky.social•90 days ago

Hasn’t stopped him yet and I’m certain djt would call off DOJ and Immigration.

roschappell.bsky.social•90 days ago

Musk is intent on exploiting and destroying America, and he's after Britain, too. To topple the PM, for far right Trump buddy, Nigel Farage, to take over. Failing to have a #Recount and preventing fascism now is monumentally stupid. The media are enjoying the chaos though.

marcyrw.bsky.social•90 days ago

As usual, he did NO work and just bought it.

kenwood48.bsky.social•89 days ago

If democrats don’t get their shit together, after 4 years of trump, we’ll have 8 years of musk!

kenwood48.bsky.social•89 days ago

Greed and ambition all around.

lordye.bsky.social•90 days ago

Well dontya know

gilrglover.bsky.social•88 days ago

Musk can't pass up an opportunity to buy a pig in a poke - first Twitter, now MAGA, which Trump has drained dry and no longer needs once he's back in the White House.

abbotsford.bsky.social•90 days ago

https://flip.it/V1KgdF 😜

toast2hawks.bsky.social•90 days ago

I think it is very clear. He thinks he's going to change the Constitution and become supreme leader. There are several Republicans that want that position too.

bestsmh.bsky.social•89 days ago

buffalocharging.bsky.social•90 days ago

Just watch: Musk is going to overstep his bounds sooner or later.

kar54.bsky.social•90 days ago

Iii

hikerslife.bsky.social•90 days ago

I mean duh. The question is how long Trump wants to share.

kitncaboodle.bsky.social•90 days ago

Bingo. Trump still sees the GOP and MAGA as his. He also believes in zero sum situations. His tolerance of Musk is running out.

hikerslife.bsky.social•90 days ago

I just hope they break up before too much damage is done.

tokesaladannie.bsky.social•90 days ago

Some asses just can’t get enough power

Will Elon turn the country into a privately held corporation where he is the CEO?

https://www.chron.com/culture/article/elon-musk-texas-companies-19846342.php

startmakingsense.bsky.social•90 days ago

My money is on Putin being the true CEO of the Republican party.

snowman5.bsky.social•90 days ago

That's why I'm not on X anymore.

kimboellen.bsky.social•90 days ago

Me either

hollowearth0.bsky.social•90 days ago

He only cares about money. He does not care about the American or non-American citizen. He does not care about the lives of the weak. Donald Trump is an enemy of all humanity.

riverroadband.bsky.social•90 days ago

The selfish always choose money over good, money over ethics, money over legal.

icarus2175.bsky.social•90 days ago

Musk wants to re-create #SouthAfricanApartheid in the USA. Elonia & Peter Thiel and others see white hegemony and black subjugation as a goal of a more perfect union! We mustn’t give up the fight for liberty, justice and equality!

okboomer.bsky.social•90 days ago

Let’s hope the ketamine and cholesterol take their toll on both of them.

redwoodjungle.bsky.social•90 days ago

JD Vance would like a word

larrysims.bsky.social•90 days ago

Fuck Muskrat and his stupid cars

logicgrenade.bsky.social•90 days ago

Elon Musk embraces failure as a stepping stone, evident in SpaceX’s early crashes and Tesla’s near-bankruptcy. Elon is also known for 80-100 hour workweeks, he demands similar commitment from his teams.

digitaldgodave.bsky.social•90 days ago

He’s not an American citizen! Does anyone understand that?

hirut.bsky.social•90 days ago

In America all you need is money, if you have money they will let you do anything sadly, it doesn’t matter where you come from.

countrygal.bsky.social•90 days ago

IMO, it's all about boondoggle money for Mars.

realityblue.bsky.social•90 days ago

He cannot own the party as he was not born here

mdj-71.bsky.social•90 days ago

I don't see it this way. It's pretty clear from my view. Object is to attain as much power and wealth as possible with complete disregard to humanity. That's my 2 cents. 🤷‍♂️

debster1.bsky.social•90 days ago

Trump is the Anti-christ and Elon is the False Prophet 😈

michaeljameshawk.bsky.social•90 days ago

drv42.bsky.social•90 days ago

Should we watch for an unusual number of deaths among SpaceX computer engineers if they helped create the anomalous ballot results in those selected precincts? After all "two men can keep a secret if one of them is dead "

drv42.bsky.social•90 days ago

We can only hope he has the same effect on MAGA that he's had on X ( formerly Twitter)

leosstankytaint.bsky.social•90 days ago

It is a precisely as clear as him owning 45. Buying Agent Orange and keeping on a leash with legal fees and settlement "assistance." It really doesn't take an analyst to see what the guy who blames US interference brought down apartheid is doing.

bsky.heenan.net•90 days ago

The problem is that Raw Story publishes short speculative items drowned in ads and pop-ups.
Are there any facts involved?
I doubt it.

rayvanriper.bsky.social•90 days ago

This is like being the king of the nothing's or lemmings.

purrlitikal.bsky.social•90 days ago

And here we were worried about Vance. Boy, the RW chessboard is all smoke and mirrors, bait and switch, elections rigged and results a-shocking

illuminaughti.bsky.social•90 days ago

I have been pointing out that tactic by Musk since he started dipping his toes into the swamp. It was very obvious he was trying to hijack the MAGAts. In fact, you can see many people have been trying to do this. They are an already curated group. Just add hate.

joseph2482.bsky.social•90 days ago

E's the man

Wow, one of those lying, thieving, rapping Imi-imigrants has bought the republican party!
I guess Twitter was a trial. It has been so successful that E decided that to buy the whole. What's next Canada?

alexanderr.nafofellas.com•90 days ago

Musk cannot be president, thankfully. Just not legal for a naturalized citizen.

candiceberken.bsky.social•90 days ago

What a joke. A pox on both of those kkklowns.

Well Elon Musk has the apartheid DNA inside his genes

jiraniheart.bsky.social•90 days ago

It will be fun watching Musk and Vance arm wrestle on the podium to see who gets to be sworn in as VP.

cferel8.bsky.social•90 days ago

Pete Hegseth is a heathenistic sexual predator toward women and just like Trump, he is a neanderthal stain on mankind.

ozwiltshire.bsky.social•90 days ago

Elon Musk, the co-president elect!
He obviously can't be president being South African by birth, but he can and will control the Republican party.

takoyakiballz.bsky.social•90 days ago

May not be as clear cut?! Its a neon-colored X (weirdly enough his favorite letter)! We can see it from far away, we have seen it from far away, at least for those w/ common sense 😡

mynnoe.bsky.social•90 days ago

Elon Musk has the personality of a mud puddle. He is BORING 🥱

vladtheinhaler2425.bsky.social•90 days ago

Musk knows he's much smarter than Trump, and he knows Trump's available to the highest bidder. So why wouldn't he go for the throne. Narcissists wrestling for ultimate power.

olderhippy.bsky.social•90 days ago

Trump is his bitch

timefortheobvious.bsky.social•90 days ago

He wants to rule the Universe.

bettybb.bsky.social•90 days ago

Musk will seek to run for the next president-if ever they are forced to hold another one.

He wants to corner the crypto market.

hgeffen.bsky.social•90 days ago

Musk is intent on destroying American democracy and the U.S. Constitution.

akdonj.bsky.social•90 days ago

Religious white nationalists would like that very much. Replacing a corrupt government with another corrupt government without constitutional protections.

tiguyd.bsky.social•90 days ago

Bang this drum loud and Trump will do something despicable to Musk to show how big of a man he is. This relationship has an over/under of Feb 1.

yvettejr718.bsky.social•90 days ago

MUSK is REVILED by every single DEMOCRAT I know. I have approximately 500 people in my phone contacts. 99% are Democrats. Musk wasn’t ELECTED. He’s not personable. Once MAGA realize everything they’re losing BECAUSE of MUSK’S ideas, I think he’ll be run out of TOWN. He’s NOT likable.

michael-iger.bsky.social•90 days ago

Musk might just get the GOP given the opportunism of the party leadership. Trump threatened to leave the party in 2015, and run as a third party taking MAGA voters, they caved. They've been on their knees since, as Trump's been making them eat sh*t, and say they like it. Next with a whip, Musk.

mrcarpool.bsky.social•90 days ago

In short, as fucked up as maga is in their “thinking”, their support of this wannabe Bond Villain comes as no surprise at all. Pathetic

martinidude.bsky.social•90 days ago

Now this makes sense…

It was a strong arm play to make Trump his puppet.

Musk is crafty, I’ll give him that. 🤣🤣🤣

rphitch.bsky.social•90 days ago

Did not need to be an analyst to work that out. He has got worst as he has getting older. He has got the money he wanted and to be the richest man in the world, so now he aims higher. The ultimate controlling person. He thinks he is Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon

hirut.bsky.social•90 days ago

Except the worst, that his motives are fascism and Nazism and go from there.

tanjuyurukoglu.bsky.social•90 days ago

I give them three months before they start eating each other alive.
