Will Musk let them though? He's backing them hand and foot, loosing his funding if he says no has to be a concern of theirs

kellyoneill20.bsky.social•27 days ago

I'm more concerned about how he has every piece of personal information on every American. And what he could do with it

frozenpizza.bsky.social•27 days ago

Dont worry you'll be automatically signed up for X Payment along with every other American!

kellyoneill20.bsky.social•27 days ago

Whaaaaat. Ffs

dragonnexus.bsky.social•27 days ago

I imaging they cared about his funding while trying to get into power.

Now they're in, they don't need him.

gwaactopus.bsky.social•27 days ago

His wealth has been the big threat against republicans that might stand up to them, though. He’s made it clear he’ll find a primary against any dissenters

greatlaxit.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yeah but that threat was cogent when he appeared to have given Trump the presidency, now he can’t win a statewide judicial election.

gwaactopus.bsky.social•27 days ago

It’s still the potential of unlimited cash. He doesn’t need to personally get involved in the campaigning like we just saw

greatlaxit.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yeah but the republicans pretty much already had that as an inbuilt advantage from all the other billionaire donors

dragonnexus.bsky.social•27 days ago

And probably lose.

How many times has Elon promised or threatened to do something and then chickened out?

Too many.

gwaactopus.bsky.social•27 days ago

You only have to look at the Trump election to see how valuable a blank check can be

joeaconite.com•27 days ago

Will his DOGE bullshit still be around? Because continual FU Elon if. And extra FU Elon forever.

kyusmash.bsky.social•27 days ago

He burned down his empire for this job.

joebos617.bsky.social•27 days ago

Elon get ready to learn Arabic buddy

catnipslip69.bsky.social•27 days ago

For a second I thought Trump grew a ponytail

rabidinsomnia.bsky.social•27 days ago

Rat tail slithering out from the nest

kaijusommelier.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yes… Ha Ha Ha… YES!

philbert94839.bsky.social•27 days ago

Crossing my fingers Elon didn’t install a back door into the treasury database.

philbert94839.bsky.social•27 days ago

Release the kompromat Elon

vedicvalarian.bsky.social•27 days ago

I saw someone post that his position was only for 130 days due to the position they claimed to bring him on for.

allhailmogambo.bsky.social•27 days ago

he still has the chance to do something Really Funny

kaitlynkitty1917.bsky.social•27 days ago

Elaborate

popezebbidiexii.bsky.social•27 days ago

Simple or elaborate is OK.

pucci28.bsky.social•27 days ago

EXPEL HIM TO HIS COUNTRY!! 👿👿👿👹👹👹

iwillrobyou.bsky.social•27 days ago

99% of billionaires stop buying special elections just before they hit it big

iwillrobyou.bsky.social•27 days ago

Mr President, I beg you to reconsider this. Elon will for sure win the next race

anthonon.bsky.social•27 days ago

To be put in the background anyhow.

tbrianwolf.bsky.social•27 days ago

I love the phrasing "will leave soon." Just like a shitty friend squatting in the white house. "I know, he sucks, it's just...he'll leave soon, okay?"

leftxtobetterskies.bsky.social•27 days ago

Don't let it distract you from destroying his brand. Keep going until it crashes.

wendymadarling.bsky.social•27 days ago

Eh. If Politico reports it, I'd wait for a second source before buying in.

nelloshots.bsky.social•27 days ago

You love to see it

bird-guy.bsky.social•27 days ago

He's going to keep doing all his usual bullshit but I imagine trump has told him to stop doing interviews and rallies or whatever because he just sounds like a doofus

bwheat0674.bsky.social•27 days ago

"stepping back" literally just means "we're going back to hiding all the dangerous and careless things we're doing/ going to do"

I doubt things will change much. Elon still has more money than the 99% of the population combined. He'll just go back to secretly bribing/lobbying for the shit he wants

captive-sorceress.bsky.social•27 days ago

I dunno, I don’t think he CAN be secret now. He’s bit the sweet seductive serpent of manbaby edgelord-ism and there’s no putting that sweaty genie back in the lamp.

bwheat0674.bsky.social•27 days ago

You make a good point. And I agree there is no going back, but at the same time it's like that one family secret at Thanksgiving that everyone knows but too scared to say anything about. We'd all know, but like before, they'll say nothing about it.

legonick0956.bsky.social•27 days ago

Too late for that, and the administration won't last long ether.

armus.bsky.social•27 days ago

its so funny/sad to watch hasan predict literally every single fucking move that trump makes. yesterday he said this exact thing would happen.

paddywolfe.bsky.social•27 days ago

trump has a way of burning every bridge he crosses and musk has a way of making himself deeply unwelcome wherever he goes. match made in the depths of hell.

l3ftascendence.bsky.social•27 days ago

Proud of my fellow Wisconsinites 🧀 Elon is not worthy of the cheese

kellyoneill20.bsky.social•27 days ago

Ok, but like.. he already has all our shit 🤷‍♀️

medically-tired.bsky.social•27 days ago

Oh, we’re all fucked regardless. Though them fighting each other is an unequivocal good. If elon is kicked out he will absolutely try to retain any political power along with any limelight he can. This will cause conflict between them on an interpersonal level but also possibly ideological.

medically-tired.bsky.social•27 days ago

This could send shock waves through the different plates that make up the alt-right which briefly became noticeable prior to inauguration. Causing wider ideological conflict within the base to come to the forefront, which we already know exists but has been dormant.

medically-tired.bsky.social•27 days ago

Though with the amount of systems elon has access to it may be functionally impossible for the trump admin to separate themselves from musk with a decreased government that will continue to decrease regardless of musk doing it or someone else.

the-hampter.bsky.social•27 days ago

Oh my god please let this finally make him do it please god please make him take too much ketamine

drbutchermd.bsky.social•27 days ago

I don't quite believe this. They'll probably find more discreet uses for him.

countdeathtoll.bsky.social•27 days ago

The damage has been done, though... The evil still persists. Also, bet you he puts another robber barron atop of doge.

enemywith1n.bsky.social•27 days ago

I think they're whistling past the graveyard. Elon bought and paid for the president. He's going to get everything he can get before he goes anywhere

naughtymarietta.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yeah? Where's he going? It's too fucking LATE. The MAGAs' true colors have emerged, but because he's too self-centered to work his way out of his skin, he's stuck with our disgust and our ire until they're all out of our lives permanently.

nekointheshell.com•27 days ago

lol dude for real got the government he 'bought' repossessed

thehammer.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yeah, but who's *capable* of forcing the one out?

lordzannin.bsky.social•27 days ago

Hopefully on extremely bad terms that costs him lots on money.

lluke27.bsky.social•27 days ago

I feel like every day I see that their relationship is at its last thread I’m starting to nothing ever happens on this one I’m afraid

citizencomply.bsky.social•27 days ago

I hear Kristi Noem knows how to take care of bad dogs.

richardbowes.bsky.social•27 days ago

Why would grummz do this?

skyhighdemon.bsky.social•27 days ago

Idk I'd assume Trump got most of what he wanted out of Musk and DOGE and this is the cherry on top of making it easy to chuck him aside. Going by Trump's last regime. Still, funny how this won't save Tesla's stock and now Trump will have to take the blame for social security going belly up.

willowminder.bsky.social•27 days ago

"They really hate you, Elon. You gotta GTFO."

"No! It can't end like this. I can help, I swear. How about, what if, I can buy you that thing you wanted."

"I don't want a horse Elon."

"No, the election. The one in Minnesota. The judge or whatever."

"Okay. Win that and you can stay."

needsart.bsky.social•27 days ago

LMAOOO

midnightyoru.kawaii.social•27 days ago

That was too be expected

greatlaxit.bsky.social•27 days ago

The funniest outcome would be Musk and his cadre of barely pubescent goons trying to enact the worst palace coup you’ve ever seen.

chucksalamone.bsky.social•27 days ago

I hope we get a new teary eyed Elon pic.

tonedeafmusical.bsky.social•27 days ago

dragonnexus.bsky.social•27 days ago

If he gets pushed out and ignored by the entire Republican party...do you reckon he'll turn Dem?

theredjaws.bsky.social•27 days ago

kp3231.bsky.social•27 days ago

Wow. I guess $250 million doesn't buy what it used to buy. Bummer for Elmo.

breckwilhite.bsky.social•27 days ago

I pray they become bitter enemies and begin devouring each other.

planetofthegrapes.bsky.social•27 days ago

I had it predicted that April would be the month where they fall out

lifeholds.bsky.social•27 days ago

Eh, i think trump's coping/doing damage control with his MVPs. I don't think he's actually in charge at this point, elon's the grey cardinal fr

remymonroe.bsky.social•27 days ago

What about DOGE BOY BAND will this be after the vote to cut benefits for tax breaks why haven't we heard from NIKKI HALEY she sold he sole on election day and he still TRASHED HER

akisanyork.bsky.social•27 days ago

Nightmare fuel

normcharlatan.bsky.social•27 days ago

“Sorry, man, this isn’t working, people hate you even more than they hate me.”

hopstache.bsky.social•27 days ago

I'm honestly surprised that they don't keep him around to draw fire from Trump himself.

impallama.bsky.social•27 days ago

Tbf that’s what they’ve been doing for the past 4 months and it’s worked

surpluscornbread.bsky.social•27 days ago

I actually suspect that leaving (if it actually happens) might be more Elon's idea than Trump's exactly because of how that dynamic has been playing out. Being in government is helping to kill Tesla which is the biggest part of Musk's wealth.

normcharlatan.bsky.social•27 days ago

The problem is that you can only fire him to change the conversation once.

andryw.bsky.social•27 days ago

probably why musk is going to be “leaving” for months before he actually leaves

astralurbanist.bsky.social•26 days ago

Just like brexit

bethany332.bsky.social•27 days ago

He's done such horrendous reputational damage that they won't be able to get his stink out even after firing him.

They're not going to get rid of doge, their golden goose for smashing up staye capacity.

chefdiogenes.bsky.social•27 days ago

This worries me - what if this means he's got all the data and backdoor entry points he needs? I'm hoping it's just in-fighting but still

jmat2341.bsky.social•27 days ago

We'll see what they do. Never take anything they say as truth until they casually admit to it months after they have got off Scott free.

crowgh0st.bsky.social•27 days ago

Manifesting the funny thing

conorino.bsky.social•27 days ago

Chain them together. Would be great if the press smells the blood in the water here.

snifywhisper.bsky.social•27 days ago

Musk, your fired.

takacomics.bsky.social•26 days ago

I predict Musk will become fiercely liberal in order to gain favor with a new group.

jkmjk.bsky.social•27 days ago

"He's going to be going through some things."
Anyone heard that one before?

faeelin.bsky.social•27 days ago

Feels like cope

rationaltexan.bsky.social•27 days ago

I hope they go to war with each other.

drstraingstrange.bsky.social•27 days ago

this is the funniest shit ever

dragonboypaws.bsky.social•27 days ago

I think this is a prime opportunity to be loud and annoying to Trump and his chumps. Make good trouble and all that

miggle93.bsky.social•27 days ago

I can’t believe the president is a George Soros operative

lakerjones.bsky.social•27 days ago

Barron is about to ask him what the shape of Italy is

kokorozek.satan.social•27 days ago

On the one hand Elon has already done incalculable damage, but on the other hand I'll take my W's where I find them

theangelremiel.bsky.social•27 days ago

he has loser stank on him

cansadodetodo.bsky.social•27 days ago

I hope he goes to Mars

pershing48.bsky.social•27 days ago

*Natalie Portman voice*
And undoing all his doge policies, right?

millexiv.bsky.social•27 days ago

They really like using pictures of Elon trying, and failing, to look evil and intimidating. I'm all for it. Keep exposing him for the dork he is. I mean, he's still evil, but you just know that he hates people pointing out that he's a dork.

chernobylhobo.bsky.social•27 days ago

Knowing these two and their massive egos I can see this getting messy really quickly. If Elon gets the Liz Cheney treatment he'll be universally despised from both the left and right. He'll have no community left to support him and he's gone too far right at this point to pivot to a centrist grift.

philbert94839.bsky.social•27 days ago

It’s a good thing we didn’t give a disgruntled megalomaniac full access to federal disbursement databases

greatlaxit.bsky.social•27 days ago

That doesn’t mean he won’t try. Imagining him trying to ham handedly claw back the liberal customer base that bought his vehicles would be incredible. That would require some self reflection on his part though.
