Musk is like the uncle you see once a year and wish he wasn’t a relative. Somehow Musk thinks he has sway over the populace without even being elected to anything. Wonder how Trump can get rid of this albatross
For months they'll have a 1 seat majority, then they'll have, what, 3? They won't be able to do jack shit. Trump's true hope lies with a senate recess which would allow him to dictatorially install his criminal or corrupt or treasonous picks for cabinet and department heads.
SNL could do one sketch where they call him President Musk and Vice President Trump, and Trump will kick Musk to the curb faster than a Tesla catches fire.
I'm counting on this. Went over to the bad place and looked over Elon's tweets from last night and he retweeted a number of tweets encouraging Elon to block everything and were mildly dismissive of Trump. As soon as Trump starts seeing that, Elon is toast.
Trump & Vance will be President & VP because the citizens of the United States voted for them.
However, the voters did NOT elect Elon Musk, and he won't have a real job in Trump's administration (Elon is merely cos-playing on a new committee).
So, the GOP doesn't have to do what do what Elon says!!
Cue the apologists saying Harris lost b/c she was not voted for in a primary, but that they are OK with unelected Musk doing stupid meddling in government.
Sadly I think that the American people need to become accustomed to an ‘unelected billionaire bossing them around’.
Until his and Trump’s egos collide.
Notice to all media outlets!!! Help get rid of Elon. Bombard Dear Leader with requests to interview Elon and ONLY Elon. Over and over and over and stop asking to interview Dear Leader. Run story after story about Elon. Elon will be gone in a nanosecond.
Americans just elected an oligarchy. And now that the oligarchs are in charge, they don't give a crap what people think. They'll probably sue whoever conducted that poll then publish their own that says how amazingly popular they are.
Let's see. First, we pinned our hopes on Mueller. Then on Jack Smith (who really did try). We gave up on scotus. So we're going to hope that Trump will stop Musk? Right-o.
But 81% of Republicans approve of Elon running the government and they are the ones controlling everything. How could millions of American have voted for this?
While that may be true, there are still millions of people who believe whatever they’re told from their side of the aisle. They will likely follow blindly and blame whoever they’re told to blame.
Meanwhile Trump, Elon, and Co don't care about the polls and will just do whatever they want to because the average American worships at the alter of billionaires
Glad to see President Musk tell VP Trump to get to work killing The American Economy. President Musk wants to be Emperor of Mars.VP Trump just wants to cheat at golf
We all get bossed around by billionaires. 😂 But you are right and I wonder how long it will take MAGA to grow dissatisfied with the #Musk_Trump presidency?
He will get his way for a while. He will use threats and money, but he lacks social skills. That’s works okay when he’s the one man show in his companies, but he isn’t the King who tells the Senate and House he’ll ruin their careers if they dont obey him.
I guess President Musk didn't think that the American people would not like him telling them what to do. They voted for the orange man not him. He needs to take his weird looking ass back to South Africa.
He has as much right as anyone else to shoot off his mouth. However, he has been elected to nothing and appointed to nothing and thus has no authority to set or mandate any sort of policy.
Of course recent history shows
Not liking it is the most people will do
They’ll figure out how to blame Dems for it: so it goes.
And Trump will sue that poll, too.
He is planning on donating 100 million to Farage as well.
What we should learn from this is that we should never ever allow a person to own such astronomic amounts of money that they are capable of buying entire governments.
The margin in the House is much smaller than 2016. Policies that hurt their constituents have a way of peeling off support which the margin can’t handle. It only takes a small amount of pain for the electorate to flip the House back in 2026. At that point, the gears stop turning for Trump.
Depressing that it's only 53-41. I remember when WJC got elected and tried to give HRC a role in decisions. The Rs were all like, "Nobody voted for HER !!"
If I didn't know better I'd think they were all hypocrites. 😉
"Learns" is such a strong word. Is it learning when you jot things on burger wrappers and stuff them in your pockets to read later? 😎 Asking for a few million friends.
It's laughable seeing people act as if the ultra wealthy haven't been controlling our government all along. America has been an Oligarchy masquerading as a Democracy for some time now. The only difference is that the masquerade is over.
I’m guessing in all his dealings with Putin, Putin gave Musk the Kompramat on Trump and said “Here, you be his handler for a while, I’m sick of the orange clown.”
Learns? Trump doesn’t learn anything except how to deepen his graft.
My take
Trump 1.0- Trump scams taxpayers to enrich himself
Trump 2.0-Elon scams taxpayers to control all our resources.
Sam Nunberg tried to read the Constitution to him but by the time they got to the 4th Amendment before "his finger is pulling down on his lip and his eyes are rolling back in his head."
No, Elon learns how to be a dictator yet knows nothing about what he's doing.
I suppose other than the hardship we will endure, it will be good for Dems. That doesn't make it acceptable, I would rather we forgo the pain and keep the government running. Turning off the government doesn't fix it.
What Trump via Loudermilk is doing is what these people always do. In this case, person 'A Liz Cheney on one side & person 'B' Cassidy Hutchinson on other side w/ SOMETHING in the middle, collusion between the two -looking for a crime, FFS. Liz Cheney needs to SUE Trump!
I don't think either of them are capable of learning about the government. They can hire people who come up with weird loop holes to try to control power the executive branch doesn't have but these egomaniacs don't take actual advice and sooner or later (sooner probably) they will turn on each other
Something tells me the upcoming images of Elon prancing around on Capitol Hill will turn off a lot of people. Of course the MAGA base will love it, but it’s going to get tired fast.
The Dems need to tie Trump to Elon Musk, what he says is political dynamite, from a death wish for Social Security to his vow to "End SNL" he has even less elf control then Trump.
Actually, Leon hasn't learned government. He's just operating in his standard 'bull in a China shop' mode, just as he did at Twitter, doing whatever he wants, and to heck with the consequences.
Reality TV Pitch: Billionaires, who are used to bossing people around, and immediately getting what they want take over system where ...
1) Their wealth doesn't matter
2) They are not the boss of those who make the changes
3) The system is designed to make it nearly impossible to make changes
Feudalism is Trump 2.0
Musk is making calls ahead of Trump. This will get ugly soon and middle class can only stand back and watch destruction of democracy.
I can't believe that they will be allowing unelected people to regulate our government. Even the Speaker of House is answering Elon and Vivek.
How sad.
I might replace "learns" with "does," (hear me out) only b/c they understand ends but not means or consequence 😕 they just scream an idea out into the void and if neither had an army of cultists bringing their tweets to life, they'd be nothing more than your avg gamer bro troll
I wonder how Puppet President Trump (“PPT”) feels about Real President Musk (“RPM”) actually running the show. To all that voted for PPT/RPM, I hope you’ll be okay without your government assistance.
That is what fuels their incompetence. Their self delusion also allows them to sell other’s products with their name on it.
Elon builds rockets like Trump makes steaks.
Didn’t know Elon was made president what the hell. This a man who was filmed stating that the US government is just like every other business. Hey f@cktard Elon, is not a business it’s of government of the people and for the people. Elon stop sucking the tit of our government, you greedy little pig
The muskrat is also a narcissistic sociopath. The fact that rand paul thinks muskrat will be a good speaker of the house is very telling. How easily some people are duped & star-struck by billionaires.
How are they wrong ?
There’s no requirement for the Speaker to be a member of the House.
Remember when republicans were batting around the idea of making trump Speaker during Biden’s presidency ?
He's almost 80, the oldest toddling old man to take office. He did it to stay out of prison. Mission accomplished. He had the media sane wash his unhinged rambling and is building the most unhinged cabinet in history of felons, idiots and family. He is not going to govern. He is revenge.
FBI has not released a Butler rally shooting report. Trump was injured in this collision, and checked his ear because of the blast, not a bullet strike https://youtu.be/4TOtnYboqxQ
It amazes me how two foreigners have been involved in the US elections in the past few decades. First Australian Murdoch. Now South African Musk. It is a foreign invasion, alright.
He needs to be referred to by the media mains as “President Musk.” Call it what it is. He is our unelected president who was an illegal immigrant now self-dealing in ways Trump couldn’t dream up. Also, a high degree of probability he helped steal his new presidency. Call. It. What. It. Is.
You're very kind to imply Trump can learn anything beyond signing his name on the payoff checks, learning one-syllable words, and sniff, sniff, sniffing.
They both failed or forgot the most important part of the government that's "WE THE PEOPLE" America and Americans are not going to be run over. There will be resistance to the wannabe dictator and his man Friday. The American experience is bigger than a man or two So Donny we have our eyes on you!🤨

You have to cooperate and be elected in 🇺🇸

EVs are mostly 6 figure folks cars right now.

Democracy is dead.
If I didn't know better I'd think they were all hypocrites. 😉
The general consensus is around 500,00 died in the war -with unrest starting in Oct 1934
Chris Murphy (D) gets it, thank goodness. New D leadership required without delay
Serious phase right now. Read text
Trump 2.0, Trump is bought and paid for by elonia musk.
The big question, will Trump take elonias last name? Perhaps with a hyphen?
Trump Musk, sounds gross
Trump fires Musk
Vance (via 25th Amendment) fires Trump
🤔
Trump 1.0 - Trump fails to learn government
And then
Musk 1.0 - Musk trumps Trump
I’m guessing in all his dealings with Putin, Putin gave Musk the Kompramat on Trump and said “Here, you be his handler for a while, I’m sick of the orange clown.”
My take
Trump 1.0- Trump scams taxpayers to enrich himself
Trump 2.0-Elon scams taxpayers to control all our resources.

Of course, this presumes both an ability and willingness to LEARN. I for one am not hopeful.
They are the enemy of America and Americans.
They are both bumblers, not understanders.
He should do what Putin does, imprison elmo and usurp his businesses.
Trump 2.0- pre-lim assessment: 🎪
I’m actually looking forward optimistically.
What could go wrong?
1) Their wealth doesn't matter
2) They are not the boss of those who make the changes
3) The system is designed to make it nearly impossible to make changes
Musk is making calls ahead of Trump. This will get ugly soon and middle class can only stand back and watch destruction of democracy.

At some point, Trump and Elon will have words...

Musk is not a natural born citizen.
There’s no requirement for the Speaker to be a member of the House.
Remember when republicans were batting around the idea of making trump Speaker during Biden’s presidency ?
He held no governmental position at the time.
trump second term: the owner of twitter runs the white house.
Musk must run from the Mob !
Do we call Trump 47b now?
I can’t wait until they start turning on each other.
Still has no idea about any of it.
Because they thought loyalty points would get them a seat at Mar-a-Lago! 🎁🏰
