I re-iterate the most salient point of our current times: We are in a part-foreign (RU) auto-coup led by two mentally ill individuals—one, often high on drugs; sycophants; and condoning opportunists. Many of these people are actively engaged in treason.
Yeah, but Elon owns Trump. He’s aware if he did anything to sway anything his way, and I bet he has the proof to prove it too. Elon didn’t put that much money without qualifiers.
Trump is a ratings/poll guy. It’s his kryptonite, so let’s start pushing all the bad polls, make some up…let’s go.
“Republicans know their spin is a lie, and the truth is they have no problem taking healthcare away from millions of Americans so that the rich can get richer and pay less in taxes than they already do.” Rep. Frank Pallone
I agree. But it does give about 2 dozen cabinet secretaries a common adversary. And for Elon, a couple dozen people who can stab him in the back. Some good could come from this…they’re all crabs in a bucket.
These assholes. Tesla stock tanking. The brand is a laughing stock. His rocket blows up again. He says empathy is a flaw, and now he’s getting slapped by Trump who, remarkably, is an even bigger asshole.
Lord have mercy!
His twitter business is in the toilet. Tesla is burning down and his SpaceX rockets are blowing up. Is it just me or is he as incompetent a businessman as the orange felon and they have to gut the government for personal gain 🤔
he didn’t put any limits on Musk. he said words that his law firm, WH Counsel and DOJ, can use to try to make a coherent argument. which isn’t possible because Trump says other words.
Ooh it will be rich if Trump kicks him out. He will squeal like a pig about what he knows about Trump. He is like a crazy girlfriend, it's great until it's not
"In Trump's grand return to power, he needed more than just a compliant Congress and a rubber stamping Supreme Court- he needed a weapon, a sledgehammer that could bludgeon through the last remnants of the so-called "deep state", while keeping his hands clean. That weapon was Elon Musk..."
@karaswisher.bsky.social How long will Elon stay with a “play nice with others” requirement tho? Having to acknowledge the authority of D/As just to enable any of his actions at all seems like it could unsettle his preferred playbook, no?
It's not like ANY of his department heads have ANY expertise at all in either their departments focus or even management. They would just as likely make cuts for political reasons and outright incompetence.
I see this as little more than an effort to provide cover for Musk and DOGE in litigation. DOJ has been playing a shell game with the courts about Musk’s role and authority. I don’t believe for a minute that Musk’s role will be diminished by this.
After his semi-waffling on Tariffs again still resulted in a 1% drop in the DOW & 2.6% drop in the NASDAQ today... this is just another lie to try and keep it from plummeting tomorrow.
Trump also just disbanded the decades old advisory committees that ensures GDP/Unemployment '#s are accurate
I know you see this @davetroy.bsky.social @theanthonydavis.bsky.social @malcolmnance.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @libradunn1.bsky.social @jelaniya.bsky.social @goangelo.bsky.social of course these names are random! Why? Do NOT CAVE to the algorithms!
Oh gee. I feel so much better. Not. Like his cabinet is that trustworthy, but I guess anything is better than a sadistic grifter with a chainsaw. #Resist
Hahahaha so that means Putin told Trump what to do about Musk. It remains to be seen if Musk is telling Putin or the other way around? Perfect time for a metaphorical "circular firing squad" as we say in politics
I believe that he was advised by Pam Bondi and WH Counsel to do something publicly to try and deflect from the fact that he entered official written (text of speech) and oral remarks into the Congressional Record,
before millions and those receipts SCOTUS can’t ignore
They caused chaos and fear, stole our info, coded so they had control and then installed their own ppl. Nope we aren’t falling for this supposed change in optics.
I would like to see Donald and Musk tried at the Hague for crimes against humanity. Keeping paid for food from starving people, Aids medication from pregnant women, health checks to prevent Ebola and last night , keeping vital intelligence from Ukraine aiding a war criminal in murdering civilians
Bullshit, Elon is retreating behind the scenes. I like how all Trumplickins are out talking about saving money, finding fraud and corruption so MAGA can push through a 4.7 TRILLION Dollar Tax Cut for billionaires!! Making America Great Again One Billiionaire at a time!! #rebellion2025
Sounds like Musk has completed his objective: neutralize relevant regulators, scrape data for AI model, and access info re: competitor or new/potential contracts. What a scam for taxpayers but high ROI potential for his companies and “W” for kleptocracy.
Oh, now all of the cabinet secretaries are in charge of cutting jobs. This after weeks of haphazard firings and then begging people to come back to work. Took them long enough to figure out that Elon Musk must go!!!
I see this as 'they're asking too many questions about Elon and his authority, so we're gonna hide it behind you guys. He runs the destruction, you run the cover for him. That's what toadys do.'
Sooner or later every one of us will have proof in hand that Elon Musk and his henchmen have willfully violated the 1974 Privacy Act. This law provides for suing Musk personally. It would be poetic if the $5000 checks that Elon promised came from his personal fortune.
All just really bad and ridiculous performance (reality TV) type crap. No one wanted this except the MAGA sycophants and the Oligarchs - Trump just wants to golf and be rich, he’s willing to read his daily script to be allowed to dress up in his extra long tie and act the asshole to people all day
I’m a military spouse and Army brat. The government credit card situation coupled with firing tons of vets from the federal workforce is not playing well with his military and veteran supporters right now.

But if his ruination can teach the nation, so be it.

Of course
He'll be back as soon as Musk implodes.

The Sequel is being tested
Elon Musk is going to get reamed.
We should not allow hope to dilute the corrosive effect of Trump’s gaslighting.
He softens you up and then he takes your legs out from underneath you.
Or I hope it is
