Summary

Elon Musk’s frequent presence at Mar-a-Lago and his involvement in sensitive conversations have raised concerns among Trump’s longstanding advisers, who view Musk as overly assertive and self-promoting.

Musk’s push for influence, including voicing policy ideas and taking credit for Trump’s win, has raised concerns about his motives and loyalty.

    Elon Musk is a once in a generation business leader

    That’s not a compliment, that’s a prerequisite to becoming everything Musk currently is. If “a generation” of people had been afforded even one percent of the privilege he’s received, Musk would’ve been outshined by more competent people long ago.

    It’s funny… I said that when Trump dies it will be total chaos because all these people hate each other and they will all work as hard as possible to tear each other apart since Trump is the only thing that unites them.

    Maybe we won’t have to wait for Trump to die.

      I hope we don’t have to wait for the dorito to die. I just hope it happens within the next 4 years.

    Oh man, I would love to see Musk be the first purged from his administration. Maybe he will take the hint and stay out of the public eye after Trumpers turn on him.

      Do you really believe that? I have a hard time even imagining something like that. He loves himself waaaay too much to do this. Being hated seems to be some kind of achievement for him and he’s proud of it.

        No, of course not… But if other people on here can dream about a future where the political makeup of Congress matters, or where an actual progressive party can organize and survive, then I can dream too.

    Please let them be too busy fighting amongst themselves these next four years they just are unable to get anything destructive done.

      I am 100% in favor of teenage drama derailing their efforts to remove bodily autonomy from women.

      That’s the plan. But while the government is ineffective, big businesses will have free reign to fuck us over.

        He a) isn’t that smart and b) would have fucked that plan by handing him all the power with all that money and making the weird incel vote even more guaranteed.
