Why do you think he shelled out all that campaign money? Now he's looking for the payback.
They will be at each other's throats within months and the muskrat will try to hedge his bets by backing Vance.
Watch out for the sharp knife in the back Donny.
It’s pretty amazing how this newspaper manages to normalize things that haven’t happened in 246 years of governance. I’m sure this will go really well.
This is like the question whether God can nuke a burrito hot he can't eat it:
Can trump get so pissed at Leon that he revokes his contracts, clearance, or citizenship?
How long before Elon gets kicked to the Maga Lago curb? Stealing dim Donny's limelight is a terminal offense. The minute Leon's conflicts with the dear leader, real or imagined, gets picked up by Fox Noise, he's toast.

Elon and Vivek are going to fuck around with the wrong General and/or patriotic civil servant. Those two billionaires are going to arbitrarily destroy a career and life of a one, discarding their years of good work serving the country. You think everyone they fire are going to just take it? Fuck no
I’m sure he bought and destroyed Twitter to push disinformation to get Trump elected. He now is pushing his own sick agenda and his rate of return is huge.
Trump, this is known as "Quid pro quo". Look it up! You don't think your band of thieves supported you out of loyalty or a misguided sense of patriotism?
The only people that win with Musk becoming active in politics are the employees of Tesla and SpaceX. They don't have to deal with his daily meddling anymore.
I know you all need to get paid but when the misinformation sites are free and the journalism is pay walled, it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that misinformation would run rampant.
Our gov let a foreigner take over our country. This is crazy smh. I thought it was laws against this? What happens when the next billionaire thinks they can just buy the election and highjack our country? The dems need to do something!
Citizens United allowed the corruption of wealth into politics, which is creating an American oligarchy that has consumed the GOP. Not that the corporate Dems are too far behind, but there're still a few actually working for the rest of us.
Elon Musk = FLOTUS (First Lunatic of the US). Two poisonous peas in a pod could lead to an ugly parting. Fingers crossed they destroy one another in record fashion and record time. They share some naughty, dirty lil secrets on one another.
The moment media begins reporting on Elon’s undermining Trump’s plan for tariff’s, we won’t be seeing as many “buddy” pictures of them enjoying evening events together.
All narcissism of those 2 will really soon reach a point where Trump will Musked Musk and space karen will cry that this time the Republicans and not the Democrats are evil....it will be hilarious to watch!
He's merely ensuring that Putin's choices are in place and Putin's agenda has priority. Pay attention, WaPo. Learn how to do investigative journalism and how to extrapolate from known facts and patterns of behavior.
I want the terminus of this relationship to be a duel fought on 5th Avenue, at high noon. Eric can be trump's second, while Maye Musk gets the honors for Leon.
Musk is emasculating Trump the way Trump emasculated Republicans like Cruz and Graham. But, unlike those Republican cucks, Trump would rather die than suffer endure this kind of public humiliation. So, expect the Trump-Musk co-presidency to end before it's officially inaugurated.
I'm counting on chaos within the administration. If they're busy fighting each other maybe they won't have time to end S.S. and Medicare. We're on disability and are terrified of what's coming.
This love affair between trump and musk isn’t going to last for very long , they both demand all the attention and oxygen , their egos can’t handle it I can’t wait to see the implosion
Elons problem isnt raw intelligence. Its ego. He has also got a bit of yes man itis. He no longer listens to people who might tell him things he doesnt want to hear.
He is much smarter. Trumps an asset. MAGAS "God" has invited Judas to the party. It won't end well. Musk is spiteful. Trumps bravado only works here in America.There are far scarier villains in this world than he, and Musk has relationships with them.
Does anyone really think he paid all those many millions to buy his seat at the table and he not come to eat? I feel confident that's he's recording every meeting. Holding every promise. Leveraging himself. And....if Donny Don't Pay doesn't hold his end 1.
Exactly he helped him win this election and anyone who thinks differently well. The others ones were not complaining when he helped him win so the can get a seat. They are just mad because he has more money than all of them. But they are not going just get rid of Elon. Too many secrets
Then, he will find a way to hold his feet to the fire. He has the largest disinformation platform, manipulates / owns satellites,and talks with Putin on the regular. He has cards and imo spiteful enough to use them. This isn't abt people but power and he's had a taste. He won't walk away easily.
But I bet Trump will ( try to) throw him out of the country. Elon stayed illegally and never finished his obligations to stay ( college degree). I could see Trump using that as a HUGE leverage. Elon NEEDS America .
“Several people in Trump’s circle expressed astonishment Saturday that Musk” who publicly purchased the racist, felonious, adjudicated rapist bankruptcy & insurrection addict “would publicly push for his choice for a crucial economic role while the president-elect was still weighing his decision.”
Money, access, power is all Musk is in this for. Not ideals. It's the battle of the narcissists. Trump isn't that smart and Musk knows it. Trump is just surrounded by smarter more villainous ppl. Musk has tasted real power and he likes it. He's coming for what he paid for. That makes Trump an asset.
What MIGHT be cute is if Trump muscles him out of the spotlight. Musk gets even and says, HEY, I MADE YOU. I BOUGHT YOU. You think I gave you millions for nothing? Trump balks...but I'm the president. I have Army's what are YOU gonna do? By then, Musk knows all the secrets, and holds them "hostage"
Holding all that info over him, playing with him like a cat playing with his food and uses the worlds largest platform to out it all. You don't think Musk records their convos? He's not slick enough to keep something in his back pocket? Trump isn't smart enough to get over on him
For sure!!! And he's conniving and vindictive also. He's been given power. You could tell while at the rallies how he responded to the feeling of it. The cheers. The world of maga thinking of him as some sort of God. He's hooked. No crackhead gives up their crack that easy. He won't go quietly.
The odds won't be in trumps favor either. Money, not ideals are the driving force. I'm not sure he believes in the Maga message enough to stay that level of loyal if things go South. Trump has invited Judas to the party.
Two narcissist maniacs met at a party. Each owned social media sites. Shared a connection because neither had friends growing up. Ate meals together at McDonald’s
and each tried to rule the world…until 🍿🍿🍿….!! The rest will be history. Can’t wait!

it's like borrowing capitalists' support by sharing the administration's power.
Elon, you are on the wrong side of history.
These two men put their own interests above the American people's. When they fight...we will all lose.
