EXCLUSIVE: Trump has told his inner circle, including members of his Cabinet, that Elon Musk will soon be stepping back from his current role as governing partner, ubiquitous cheerleader and Washington hatchet man. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

bltsofttaco.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yeah, I noticed that, too.

invisibleme123.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hasn't Elon done everything they wanted already? What now? Trump saves the VA benefits and we go back to the end of Democracy? This really means nothing.

digitalramble.bsky.social•8 days ago

Still doesn't matter. Twitler will be reviled to the end of his days for his DOGE role; and Shitler will be likewise reviled for letting loose DOGE goons on the US population.

the freudian slip 🤦🏻

thenordic.bsky.social•6 days ago

I rembember Trump said four months, about Musk.
I hope "almost" mean 2 days.
Then he should be deported.

ajardim1.bsky.social•7 days ago

The “Governing Partner” race will be heavily contested in the mid-terms!

nixen.bsky.social•8 days ago

Now that he got access to all the government IT systems he has no interest in staying under the spotlight.

jmeyernj.bsky.social•8 days ago

correct

jonathanpierce.bsky.social•8 days ago

conscious uncoupling

hcvt.bsky.social•8 days ago

**barely conscious due to ketamine

spicybonuscontent.bsky.social•8 days ago

y'know, they try not to put labels on it, once society sees you as "co-presidents" or "governing partners" or "littermates suckling at the teats of autocracy" then you lose all the spontaneity and joy

strepsirrhini.bsky.social•8 days ago

"éminence grise" is what they won't say. Just like Martin Bormann to Adolf Hitler.

staidwinnow.bsky.social•8 days ago

Co-president was a bit lofty.

dangermouse911.bsky.social•8 days ago

Definitely. Trump is President Muskkk’s bitch.

cheetodusty.bsky.social•8 days ago

How is that not an impeachable offense?

moxiecotton.bsky.social•8 days ago

That things may or not be illegal doesn’t matter if no one is going to enforce them.

silversalty.bsky.social•8 days ago

But Musk/DOGE hated anti-populist policies will remain and nothing too personally countering will be allowed in order to maintain the Musk 'funding.'

A completed (ostensibly) job well done.

hilarywollis.bsky.social•8 days ago

Maybe Musk only signed up for the free 3-month trial subscription.

capsva.bsky.social•8 days ago

Any longer and he has to pay with a copy of his financials

ccrask.bsky.social•6 days ago

He doesn’t like tears

jmidnight.bsky.social•8 days ago

You’re right. More like top dog.

jbretd.bsky.social•8 days ago

This is a ploy to hide him because he is liability to trump and is afraid of the repercussions and his personal safety. He is leaving in name only. He just loves ruining peoples lives and the econonmy while he absconds with one contract after another from the government.

webrant.bsky.social•8 days ago

Once all the DOGE back doors have been built he can interfere and target funding from anywhere. As well as keep stealing for himself.

goodwinm.bsky.social•8 days ago

Because he has all the access to our data forever now.

greenhombre.bsky.social•8 days ago

But Musk downloaded every public database and took it with him. Wasn't that his real goal? They are immensely valuable.

lethaldose50.bsky.social•8 days ago

chief clown.

bornindaeb.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yeah, exactly what "governing" did Musk do? He hacked into all government data to fire everyone who isn't kowtowing to tRump. Muck is a fraud who is wasting million$ in taxpayer funds, & he's abused every American by conning his way to unelected power. He needs to be deported by the US *and* Canada.

manalee.bsky.social•8 days ago

Go with him, illegal president, hold his hand as he whines about his tanking Tesla sales!

therealxtina.bsky.social•8 days ago

special elections got them shaking huh

josalo.bsky.social•8 days ago

Seems accurate. 😬

auntiem1.bsky.social•8 days ago

If there's anything 47 hates, it's a loser.

katiecannon.bsky.social•8 days ago

DOGE remains

And

merisand.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well, that's abandoning plausible deniability. Not that we couldn't see right through it.
I'm not sure Musk leaving wasn't part of the plan all along. His goal was to cut enough to ensure the billionaire tax cuts &, iirc, wasn't there something re: time limits & special gov't employees?

merisand.bsky.social•8 days ago

Something like he'd have to go through more vetting or go through the nomination & approval process???

newbandy15.bsky.social•8 days ago

Only because he is nearing the time trigger when he would have to have a financial accounting…he will avoid that at all costs.

coreyastewart.bsky.social•8 days ago

Sad! Low energy!

kapxander.bsky.social•8 days ago

Unelected (and unable to be elected due to not being American) co-president. Sweet, glad that's a thing we allow presidents to do.

We need to stop having presidents, this shit is out of hand.

donnayoungdc.bsky.social•8 days ago

What everyone should be questioning is the timing of Politico propagandist & media circus clown Rachael Bade's report - coming just in time to help $TSLA shares on the very same day Tesla reported its sales were down 13%.
[Again: Bade said Elon was Trump's "governing partner." 🤡🤡🤡]

donnayoungdc.bsky.social•8 days ago

Politico propagandist & media circus clown 🤡 Rachael Bade describes Elon Musk as Trump's "governing partner," as though it's a normal thing to say about an unelected billionaire fascist who partnered with Putin to destroy the U.S. government & weaken Americans.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

jwoodlands.bsky.social•8 days ago

JFC GOVERNING PARTNER 🤮

nina-studio.bsky.social•8 days ago

i know one VP who can't wait to break out the bubbly 🍾

itsmrcatlady2u.bsky.social•8 days ago

yeahhhhhhh that part....

besecretandexult.bsky.social•8 days ago

Do we know if this is Politico's term or Trump's? I'm just curious.

popularknapsack.bsky.social•8 days ago

Um no

snythe.bsky.social•8 days ago

yeah, that struck me, too

wtf

jtranesax.bsky.social•8 days ago

Also, Musk now has all the inside info he needs to sell off the secrets, let alone the back door access that was probably written in to all the systems. The destruction is done. Now to cover it up.

jtranesax.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hopefully that means he's leaving on a jet plane.... Or maybe a rocket bound for Mars.... One way of course.

dearprudence25.bsky.social•8 days ago

That's alarming. I wonder whose word those are

epluribusunumbaby.bsky.social•8 days ago

this guy is so far outside the law.

@God help us!

darkphoenixrizing.bsky.social•8 days ago

AlienAdolph is hemorrhaging money. He can't afford to lose additional government contracts.

He will keep hemorrhaging...stay tuned for the #BLOODBATH
financial et al

darkphoenixrizing.bsky.social•8 days ago

and his k-holes take him where he never wanted to go

dangermouse911.bsky.social•8 days ago

The next democratic president needs to DOGE all of President Muskkk’s contracts.

jerryaulik.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’ll only vote dems that run on defunding elon.

observerbs.bsky.social•8 days ago

If this is true, presumably it means that Trump is putting Crawford's win over Schimel on Musk. Crawford's W is the highest-profile electoral loss MAGA has taken in a while, and we all know how Trump hates "losers."

observerbs.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes. The second one is the funniest: "ubiquitous cheerleader."

baybeach2024.bsky.social•8 days ago

Unfortunately he's already downloaded all of our private information and now he can sell it to God knows who

silenceladus.bsky.social•8 days ago

If Trump really ousts Musk, let's hope the #teslatakedown wave will continue.

gringolibre.bsky.social•8 days ago

Said the quiet part out loud. Again.

cynbelterreus.bsky.social•8 days ago

Admission that Musk was in fact co-president, unelected, and more important than Vance.

woolfianjosh.bsky.social•8 days ago

“So, which one of you is the… governing partner…?”

caborose.bsky.social•8 days ago

No one elected him!

cheztortoni.bsky.social•8 days ago

That would be…. “Unelected governing partner”

capsva.bsky.social•8 days ago

So now he’s a governing partner? 😂

trashphalt.beauty•8 days ago

They were “governing partners” if you catch my meaning.

taofd.bsky.social•8 days ago

We love our government as a service (GaaS) don’t we folks

ecscott.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’ll believe it when I see it. Don’t trust shit that comes from this admin, leaked or not.

spottedgrackle.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think that Trump was convinced that Musk somehow won him the election. If that's true, I'd bet Wisconsin would convince Trump the other way.

capsva.bsky.social•8 days ago

My bet is he did by throwing money and tech guys at it

dangermouse911.bsky.social•8 days ago

Autopen controller.

techwitch.bsky.social•8 days ago

Politico trying to normalize an unelected oligarch playing shadow POTUS

magashban.bsky.social•8 days ago

And Musk has all our personal information….oh boy

sweetiesue1111.bsky.social•6 days ago

Musk himself said he was "almost done"... he has copied each and every computer system in our government, installing back doors so that he can now manipulate and steal from us in the comfort of his home K-Hole.

raechelg.bsky.social•7 days ago

That's what I thought when I read it before.

mkverson.bsky.social•8 days ago

My friend, I hope you can share my story and, if possible, provide assistance through a donation that could make a huge impact on my life and my family's.😥😥🍉

I apologize for this intrusion, but we are living in Gaza amidst bombing and famine. My family is in desperate need of your support. Donate and participate, as every bit of help gives us hope to overcome this ordeal. 🙏🫂..💕💕💖

yunwen.bsky.social•8 days ago

That totally real position is the VP?

hodag1977.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yeah, wtf?? There’s no such thing in the Constitution.

socialistgardener.bsky.social•8 days ago

Optics. he’s still pouring money into repub coffers and expecting policy to destroy democracy

heybramson.bsky.social•8 days ago

Elon ⬇️

happycats13.bsky.social•8 days ago

Can’t be soon enough.

lavender-wildcat.bsky.social•8 days ago

I doubt it.

fwordleproblems.bsky.social•8 days ago

I mean I guess? As good a phrase as any. “Annoyingly ubiquitous advisor” is too long. But is that Trump’s phrase, the source’s phrase, the writer’s phrase or the social media person’s phrase?

fwordleproblems.bsky.social•8 days ago

(okay I checked; it's the writer. Rachael Bade in this case. But the point is you can't worry too much about stuff like that. When we all know the underlying facts, arguing over terminology can be a sideshow.)

nallyhilpdx.bsky.social•8 days ago

Now that he has totally dismantled the federal government. He'd better take his Muskrats with him.

jmeyernj.bsky.social•8 days ago

not happening

skywitches.net•8 days ago

You know. Co-President.

samuelhayimbrody.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’ll take “terms that do not exist in the American political system” for $400, Alex

tadams1.bsky.social•7 days ago

Put another way...a leaking and supposedly member of the "inner circle" said that he said was what they said

thatmanglenn.bsky.social•8 days ago

Believe it when I see it

Also, of course musk has been in gov. He’s the president.

keyoke420.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's a lie. His lips were moving.

jerryaulik.bsky.social•8 days ago

I don’t buy it! It’s all for optics.

brianvan.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's right there in Article II, Marisa

1plus1iswe.bsky.social•8 days ago

What is Musk walking away with? Government contracts? State Secrets? Rule of law?

dangermouse911.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes.

bsbeamer.bsky.social•8 days ago

Unconfirmed cabinet member.

tomdog.bsky.social•8 days ago

I worry that cutting out Elon will be the right’s scapegoat for the failure/destruction that occurred in the first months of this disaster. They’ll delude themselves that NOW things will start actually going according to [a nonexistent] plan, and double down on their devotion to the cult

quicry.bsky.social•8 days ago

Aka “shadow president” or “co-president” or “scapegoat” for current president’s actions and misdeeds.

nmbyrd.bsky.social•8 days ago

😂

karateflop.bsky.social•8 days ago

Trump hates losing more than he loves his 400 billion $ "friend."

tommyt1212121.bsky.social•8 days ago

Good Fuck Him, his companies and all his government contracts!!!!!

lornate.bsky.social•8 days ago

When?

stuffabouthockey.bsky.social•8 days ago

Now that he's got all the data he needs & a backdoor to get, no reason for him to hang around.

yepbean.bsky.social•8 days ago

It sound like he may be rotating billionaires. Mark Zuckerberg apparently is visiting the WH, and also Bezos is bidding for TikTok, so there’s that. No conflicts of interest here, move along..

pyxelpye.bsky.social•8 days ago

😳😳😳

vincentahtch.bsky.social•8 days ago

He’s going to work from the background?
That doesn’t reassure me at all.

thenordic.bsky.social•6 days ago

I rembember Trump said 4 months, I think you are right.
Here is something from his TS

photini27.bsky.social•8 days ago

How is Sundown Don going to govern without his partner? When do they invoke the 25th Amendment and say he is no longer fit for the office? There is no loyalty between thieves. Sundown Don will no longer have his shield of Elon.

wakerybakery.bsky.social•8 days ago

Oh right and we are supposed to believe that the Shadow President Musk is going to go away quietly? Who is really in charge over there making the decisions? Is it Boris Epshteyn who has been attached to the hip with DJT since 2015 when Putin inserted him into the campaign. This is a Russian op!

ggold328.bsky.social•8 days ago

politico fucking sucks man

realcinematik.bsky.social•8 days ago

Guess they didn't want to admit "president in all but name"

strivingally.bsky.social•8 days ago

Last time I checked the Constitutional requirements for the Presidency didn’t mention the fucking buddy system.

chetbeemer.bsky.social•8 days ago

This "may" really happen but I am not holding my breath. I hope that Elon is feeling the pressure on his wallet but I don't think that is it. I think he is going to the sideline to decide how he can cripple the government from the outside. Don't count him out.

jmeyernj.bsky.social•8 days ago

pressure on his wallet is not part of this reality. it's the pressure on his fragile ego that when they can retreat, but he'll regroup and be back with even bigger megalomaniac plans

lisajo.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well, of course, he is. Trump got his immunity. He’s checked out of presidenting. Extorting money and golfing is his roll now. Let Miller and the gang of sociopaths do their thing.

plognark.bsky.social•8 days ago

They couldn’t even fake it and call him an advisor or some shit?

spoonsy.bsky.social•8 days ago

Or more appropriately, accomplice? Consigliere? Financier? Useful idiot's useful idiot?

tkgwrites.bsky.social•7 days ago

So they're admitting it out loud. The question now should be, what did Musks minions really do while they were rummaging around through all the data they never should have had access to.

wmataenjoyer.bsky.social•8 days ago

It’s sorta like VP but you can put him back into the cupboard under the stairs when you realize everyone hates him

timmer2001.bsky.social•8 days ago

Just another lie.

smm570.bsky.social•8 days ago

Don’t let the door hit you

drmisserin.bsky.social•8 days ago

governing?

preemchoom.bsky.social•8 days ago

So who will govern from now on then, should Elon actually stop? Trump is never going to start doing it now himself, too lazy. Miller? Vance? Someone new?

mrsissy.bsky.social•8 days ago

More diversion.

toms-takes.bsky.social•8 days ago

Two sick mf’ers who deserve a heavy dose of karma for the cruelty they’ve unleashed against federal workers and others. It can happen soon enough!

darthbiblio.bsky.social•8 days ago

Stepping back... Right out of a high rise window.

arthurzin.bsky.social•8 days ago

He is a bloated tick, already attached to our government. Saying that he is stepping back just means out of the spotlight. His wrecking crew will continue.

undeadben.bsky.social•8 days ago

probably what he paid for

mark.tacular.social•8 days ago

Yep. Ransomeware installed, data copied, handfuls of new SpaceX grants…

He can do the rest from the beach. Or in his case, overstaying his welcome on someone else’s couch.

Probably Vance’s

lindaschoenberg.bsky.social•8 days ago

Trump throws Elon under the bus.
Funny thing about that; Trump now will take all the heat for destroying the Government.

johnnugent.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think that was Trump's plan...have someone else to blame.

jmeyernj.bsky.social•8 days ago

But he " doesn't know anything about it and didn't sign anything? and this is the first time he's heard anything about it

sk8rbelle.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well, muskrat was after all the attempted presidentking

crysxx.bsky.social•7 days ago

Because he’s going to use all the clout and data he’s accessed as currency in order to pitch his ridiculous crypto sci-fi fantasies to powerful governments and ngo’s outside the US.
That’s what they have in common, scamming their way to the top.

timmaynardguitar.bsky.social•8 days ago

Ooooo, Friday firings are back!!!

4swami.bsky.social•8 days ago

Now is a good time to remind everyone to use accurate language in describing Trumpollini's and Edolf Mitler's regime and their Gone Fascist conduct. Learn how to decode everything that spews out of their faces and don't take what they say on face value even though it is accurate with some truth.
