  1. Musk is another narcissist bigot who just hitched his trailer to whomever gave him attention. Pathetic.

    At least now we know for when Trump loses and Musk comes back crawling on his knees.

  2. If you haven’t already voted, Do it today.

    I did it last week. There should be early voting open wherever you live, somewhere nearby. Google it, Google to find your ballot, and get it over with!

    Take a friend, take a family member. We don’t need another 2016.

    Who thinks it’s a good idea to have a government contractor with power over government spending?

    A big part of project 2025 is defunding cities and public mass transit and encouraging all cars, taxi services will now count as mass transit (despite lacking the mass part)

  5. Musk is dangerous. 

    If he’s involved in the government, he going to gut any regulation regards to Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX in particular. 

  6. There’s an old Simpsons treehouse of horror episode where Homer makes a deal with the devil and when the devil comes to collect, there’s a court case to decide what happens to Homer’s soul. In a stroke of luck, it’s found that the devil cannot lay claim to Homer’s soul because he had previously promised it to Marge.

    Which is to say, that, no, Musk cannot own Trump. He’s already spoken for.

  7. He doesn’t own him. He just bought a majority percentage. It’ll hold until someone else pays higher

    It seems a national security risk that we outsource our space program to Musk and SpaceX while he is friendly to Putin/Russia, and other dictators. And likely has business dealings with them.

  9. Is Leon the reason $DJT is going up? He went to that rally and its been taking off, I wonder if Leon is dumping money into it.

  10. My prediction next few years he will start bleeding how tech talent from his companies. The engineers who create all those products don’t want to work for MAGA. Just like most people don’t want to work for Fox News.

    I wish that politicians had to wear jackets with the names of their financial backers plastered all over them like the drivers for Nascar. At least that way, we would know who their sponsors are.

  12. Plus spaceX and starlink depend on government money. I’m sure Leon has arrangements with dump to triple that .

  13. This alone should terrify the shit out of voters. Elmo is one with the orange idiot in failing to understand cause and effect. They attack without thought to the consequences. We’ve already had four years of this shit. Biden doesn’t get enough credit for unfucking our government. Give this circus four more years and a couple more Supreme Court appointees and we’ll seal our fate on the world stage. Oh everyone will tip toe around us because we’ll have one of the world’s top 25 evilest dictators. I guess that’s what American voters want.

    Sometime in the future his followers will realize just how much he hates them. I believe somewhere down the line our capitalist masters will push too far and finally they’ll fight back. Judging by their current activities I think we can safely say it’ll be bloody.

  14. Even if these two were not objectively terrible businessmen who “failed upwards” in an oligarchic system:

    Government IS NOT and SHOULD NOT BE managed as a business.

    The United States Government is of the people, for the people, by the people.

    It’s not a business with a profit motive and shareholders, our tax dollars are not a product.

    Government is a co-op endeavor of its citizens, designed to safeguard rights and allow collective action on thei part of its citizenry.

    There’s nothing further away from what “businessmen” like Trump or Musk do, or how they think.

    We’re not your employees and we need to vote to be sure that we don’t become literal Wage Slaves to this kind of Authoritarian Oligarchy.

    Musk has such a low self esteem that he uses Trump to get to the presidency. One cannot expect a lower self esteem. Seeing his mother, that suddenly explains it.

    So a full blown crazy person with a ketamine addiction has essentially replaced jd vance as trumps running mate. Huh.

  17. inigos_left_hand on

    Gee I wonder which companies will be getting a ton more government spending if that happens?

    This is the most nakedly corrupt thing I’ve ever seen in my life. With the possible exception of Kushner’s Saudi deal.

  18. How this isn’t considered a pay to play illegal finance type relationship is beyond my understanding.

    Musk really REALLY wants the government to subsidize SpaceX and essentially turn it into NASA 2.0

    Mary Trump has made quite the career talking about her uncle. The entire family is a pack of grifters.

  21. Musk is one stupid mother effer. He doesn’t realize that Trump will find a way to take control of all of Musk’s money. Like he did with his own family.

  22. IcyOrganization5235 on

    Who is to say that Musk isn’t also for sale? We *know* he’s been funded by at least the Saudis, so he’s already got at least some **non-American** interests to tend to.

    This is how it has always worked. The government doesn’t own this country. The corporations do.
