Summary
Elon Musk, a Republican megadonor and close Trump ally, is reportedly set to have office space in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the West Wing.
Musk is expected to head the “Department of Government Efficiency,” aiming to reduce federal spending under Trump.
Critics question Musk’s influence, noting his frequent presence at key Trump meetings and events.
This move, if confirmed, would grant Musk continued access to Trump post-inauguration, sparking debate about the billionaire’s role in the administration despite holding no official government position.
Waitaminute… Isn’t he going into the tesla office every day? I thought employees couldn’t be productive without being in the office!
Oh man he’s gonna give so many more blowjobs than Melania
Jesus fucking Christ
What shape is that office?
Oval.
I would say they should block the gaming ports on the network, but Musk doesn’t really play games anyway.
The internet should trick him into playing a well know AAA brand game that only gets negative reviews from serious gamers, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Lord of the Rings: Gollum, Overwatch 2 etc.
Does it mean Mar-a-Lago is the new WH or the other way?
Oligarchy.
We’re no better than Russia.
By design.
We lost the cold war folks.
The Cold War is still going on, the goal is to destroy America from the inside because a frontal assault is impossible.
Yep. I saying we’ve lost.
Not that it isn’t ongoing, we’ve just been position with our pants down, wrists chained to our ankles, bent over a barrel.
2A time
Bringing guns to a drone fight, I see. Brilliant.
Wonder how duck guns do against drones?
There are 10ga shotguns designed to shoot high brass loads to lead and take down fast moving waterfowl. Market hunters back in the day also had what were basically shot cannons they used.
They’d have to be close in from the Ukrainian footage I’ve seen. Some of the drones could have been taken down by shotgun with a good shot.
Higher drones would require flack, I guess.
😂
Well, that’s how Americans like to take it. Bent over and told everything is fine.
yeah but every four years we vote with or without lube. Looks like everyone got sick of lube this go round and wanted something rougher.
Hah! Love it.
Eh, to have a constitutional convention, think we need things to collapse first :\ unfortunately. The powers that be are too entrenched.
Edit: does that make me an accelerationist? Absolutely yes lol
The cold war was against the Soviets. We’re losing to fascists.
Which is much worse (imo)
And willingly. I might be unfairly judging because I’m a non-American that has been watching this unfold from the outside. But this has been no master plan. There’s been no deception or trickery. These people have repeatedly and loudly told us all what they’re about. But Donald Trump could say “Hannibal Lector is a fine man” after half an hour of shuffling around onstage to golden oldies and his supporters were like “my hero! 😍”
Long before they were trying to ‘protect the kids’ from trans people, they were trying to ‘protect the kids’ from metal and punk and rap and calling everything satanic. But all along, we all knew that they were raging hypocrites that campaign for things like child marriage while claiming to actually give a shit about children.
The way I see it, not a single person over say 25 has the excuse of not knowing or not remembering. They don’t get to use the “we were tricked” line later on. In fact, no one with the ability to read does. Southern Republican states have a global reputation for being full of kiddie fiddling preachers and politicians, for being run like 3rd world countries and for being incestuous motherfuckers. This is known. And this is why I’m going to press X to doubt wherever anyone tries to tell me that they thought the price of eggs would improve.
In related news JD Vance reported that he has opted for a room at the local Motel 6 for his accomodations…
since when does the dollar store motel chain have couches in their rooms?
Couches, chairs…he’s got eclectic tastes. Some people are saying.
Please don’t sleep on JD Vance. While Trump is selling out the constitution, he is the tip of the want-to-be authoritarian spear: Is There Something More Radical than MAGA? JD Vance Is Dreaming It.
Not even the bed bugs want to be associated with him
Will the space be oval?
Damn you for beating me to this.
So if someone were wanting to locate Musk to discuss his visa situation, or, you know, whatever, this will now be a good place to monitor his movements to and from.
How to buy a government.
That door has been open a while, he’s just the biggest one and in the latest tradition the quiet part is being said out loud now. More validation of the real message of “Soylent Green”, where a society degrades to the point where even the most outrageous actions get at best a shrug from the apathetic public.
Surely they are playing with fire now, right? The French Revolution happened in part because the oligarchy became so brazen about things.
We will find out when these idiots start the second great depression. When 400 million people can’t eat shit gets real.
I would hope so. He’s the president.
Let me know when they name an aircraft carrier after him.
People were talking about a MAGA civil war. It will be over in a night if this is an indicator. Bannon is going to get such a long knife man. I assume, that is.
6 months tops before they start clashing very publicly
That’s very generous. I give it 2 months.
Would be hilarious if Elon got fired, and then punished with a series of new laws.
I can dream 🥲
This twerp must have some absolutely devastating dirt on Trumpy boy. I’m coming to the conclusion that there’s no other explanation. It can’t possibly just be money; Trump has tons of other rich donors. What I’m struggling to predict, though, is just what he could possibly have to hold over Trump’s head that’s worse than selling classified documents, misusing campaign funds, trying to incite an insurrection, or failing to pay his hookers.
They are both beholden to Putin, very likely afraid for their lives and rightfully so. Putin is a billionaire but he also has a state apparatus with global reach behind him that he is intimately familiar with. He has demonstrated repeatedly over the years that he is willing and able to use that apparatus to… make people fall out of windows, etc. And all of this doesn’t even consider the possibility of kompromat - these are all deeply bad people.
I believe Putin is the real mastermind behind everything that is going on and also that he has realized that Trump is of limited value to him in the White House. Trump’s cult gets him in, but he had four years already and really didn’t make a lot of inroads (not to mention his visibly declining health).
So in my opinion, this is Putin shuttling in someone who can be more useful to him. The canary in the coal mine for whether or not this is true will be to see if the infighting everyone is breathlessly predicting ever materializes. I predict it will not. Elon Musk will not end up like Anthony Scaramucci.
It’s not like this. This is conspiratorial thinking.
These people are just … weirdos. This is how weirdos are friends: transactionally, with little common ground. Trump feels like he has something to offer a friend that friend, even though he’s richer, can’t.
It’s all fucking base and stupid and nowhere near the ideals we are supposed to aspire to as a nation.
Musk…is a complete moron.
No
