He’s absolutely going to try before this is all said and done. This is like two toddlers having a throwdown at daycare.
There isn’t enough popcorn for this.
One good thing to come out of this is if trump cancels Musk’s new billions in government contracts that were the main reason Musk bought trump in the first place. 🤞
I’d counter that decimating all the departments actively investigating his interests was his primary motivation and the contracts were just a little extra self dealing on top…
Though it would be great fun to watch him exit now going full self righteous on the way out, only to have his companies bankrupted once the new gov contracts are cancelled, because he’d destroyed all their other income sources during his crusade to save himself.
Yes, good point. He was in it for both of those things and probably a bunch of other less obvious stuff. I’d like to see the contracts cancelled and the investigations re-opened.
I think there has been a shift in power. A couple months ago Trump was 100% Musk’s bitch. Fuck, his kid told Trump to shut up and that he “wasn’t the president”. Musk definitely had something on Trump. The Epstein files would definitely fit the bill.
I’m having a hard time believing anybody would be dumb enough to not have a backup, but this is Musk. He’s out of his fucking gourd half the time.
Yes, he was completely submissive to Musk and his little X brat! I kind of marveled at how he sat there and took shit from them in that office and I knew Musk owned him. I don’t really think the Epstein thing is that important. Everyone already knows about it, and his followers won’t believe it or won’t care. If a crime, I think it would have to be something bigger. Like on the level of the conspiracy theory that Musk was able to rig the election in some states (though I’m not sure even that would be prosecuted). But then Musk would also be incriminated.
I think it’s more likely that there was a huge sum of money trump was going to get paid, that Musk had control of until the investigations into Musk and his companies got shut down and all the billions in government contracts to his companies were signed and delivered, then once trump finally got paid for the services rendered, he doesn’t need Musk anymore, so he’s out.
The thing that was never considered by a lot of people who helped get trump in power for their own gain, both the first time and this time, is that once he’s in there he has the full power of the government to go after you if you don’t toe the line. He can ruin them financially and even put them in prison now. They forgot, trump never honors a deal. He’ll screw you over the minute you no longer have something he needs or can no longer threaten him.
Yes😂 finally, now off he goes to El Salvador.
Seize his illegally aquired assets first!
Breaking news.
Hard Core Nazi Steve Bannon calls for narcistic fascist Elon Musk to be deported immediately.
I’m awaiting Bannon to be deemed a criminal and also deported.
Remember when Steve was in jail?
Those were the days
Didn’t expect to see Kofi and Xavier in the wild
Shit, I fucking called it!!! Although I said that he’d be shipped to El Salvador not Africa.
Hopefully all those people who voted for Trump (because he’s a ‘leader’) and Musk (‘because he’s a great business man’) are starting to realize they cast their vote for a couple of petulant children who have acquired great wealth because their daddies gave them a few hundred million in starting money.

I know, I know. Speaking reason and logic again. I’ll stop ;-)
I, too, believed in Santa Claus for far too long.
For many of then, if they were capable of looking at the world and drawing good conclusions, they wouldn’t be conservative to begin with.
I wouldn’t say it’s hopeless, but something as basic as “facts” and “evidence” isn’t going to be enough to reach someone who’s a fragile, terrified, ego wrapped in a thick blanket of emotions and lies.
The idiots that vote for this think it’s normal behavior because they act the same way.
An old-timey duel to the death would be the logical solution to this problem
Why are those trannies shooting at each other?
Walter Sobchek voice Dude, trannies is not the preferred nomenclature. Transsexuals, please.
😄
All 3 pillars of MAGA are pointing the finger at each other and it’s hilarious
remind me: it’s the Fascist, Corporatist and what’s the third one?
ps: neopentecostalist?
monarchist (trump-loyals who don’t actually give a fuck about immigrants or anything, they just want a godking)
all together:
fascists - authentic nazis like bannon
corporatists - in it for the money like musk
monarchists - want sole rule by a strongman, hate democracy, like trump himself and his loyalists
Corporatism is fascism.
Note the “third way” reference. What candidate from what party used that term when running for US president?
Max Power?
alright here’s my problem with that - there’s genociders who would gladly burn every business to the ground for the sake of a white authoritarian Gilead and who seemingly have no motivation beyond the oppression of minorities. what are those called?
Fascists.
Okay, then what do we call the billionaires who want to be as objectively wealthy as possible and are therefore upset when they lose the undocumented workers that make their factories / farms / meat processing facilities profitable?
Fascists.
That there are various types doesn’t change the umbrella term.
I was thinking more along the “traditional” conservatives, anti-regulation tech CEOs, and Trump himself. It was always an unsustainable balance but I did not expect it to unravel 6 days after Elon left the WH
I would pick the Heritage Fund religious extremist types for one leg.
Still fascism
Traditional is long dead. Now it’s the burn the government down nuts, use government for Christian nationalism religiofascists, and the grift everything in sight Trump.
Techbros, thieves and the loonies I think
What’s the third way?
The Max Power Way.
It’s the MAGA-fascists, the technofascists, and the Christofascists, as far as I can tell
It’s plutofascists who wish they were technofascists
No no, we recategorized that as merely a dwarf fascist years ago.
I like that, I can get on board with that
Edit: I really like this. In fact, I hope you don’t mind, but I’m stealing it. Plutofascists masquerading as technofascists.
anyone have three arrows they could spare?
Hell, for these three does anyone have a broken arrow they can spare?

Would this technically be an American Standoff since Trump hates Mexico?
No, but wait for the presidential proclamation trying to rename it.
There’s an Archer reference in this somewhere…
We’re renaming mexican standoffs 😂
Is Musk learning he is this administration’s Trotsky?
I can’t wait until they airbrush him out of pictures.
Thats an insult to Trotsky, sure he was the butch of the Red Army and led what was effectively a campaign of abject slaughter. But he was actually intelligent, a decent commander, knew how to write, and actually looked pretty decent unlike Musk who is none of those things. Seriously comparing Musk to Trotsky is like comparing Trump to Theodore Roosevelt.
Like it matters where he lives. He can stir up shit from anywhere on the globe.
Sending him back to south Africa after all those white genocide claims would be a hell of a thing lmao
Not El Salvador
