    Born rich bitch immigrant who does nothing but buy out companies wants hard working Americans to justify themselves to him.

    Why are conservatives such cucks? Why did they vote to be such cucks to an immigrant?

      They have a bad habit of confusing appearances for substance.

      Musk and Trump appear strong (thanks to a combo of almost all conservatives understanding nothing about how government works and the media hyping up the Terrible Twosome), therefore they are strong.

      He’s too dumb to realize he’s the fall guy…

      Probably too dumb to not realize it’s never been trump calling the shots. So he thought he just had to pull one over on trump.

      Oligarchs aren’t really a big club of chummy buds laughing at the poors, Musk doesn’t understand the league that his own money puts him in. Musk is a sociopathic asshole, but Putin is a god damn bond villain. He wouldn’t even do it just for the money, he’d just want to put the “worlds richest man” in his place, because that number only counts legal money.

      I could see this shake out where trump “prosecutes” him for fraud and taking 100s of millions or even billion plus from Musk to be used for bullshit like laundered thru contracts or used as “aid” to a country that cuts trump some on the backend.

      Like, we joke about “president Musk” these days, but Putin and others have much bigger claws in trump.

    Next week Musk will be sending out, “Find out which Harry Potter character you are. Just answer a few questions about your work.”

    I’m a contractor, this guy literally has zero say over my work. And if the contract I’m on suddenly stopped, a bunch of really important satellites would end up lost lost in space. Point is, Elon can suck an egg.

      Looking forward to the inevitable news story about DOGE frantically trying to rehire contractors to find missing satellites that they didn’t realize were important. I hope they have to give everyone a raise.

      (But, seriously, all the best and fuck Elon)

        We have been deemed mission critical, whatever that means. So, we’ve been assured nothing will happen. But we’ll see. These dickheads aren’t exactly being subtle, or judicious about their cuts.

    Musk and Trump both used the Government to fund, and back, their ventures— until they finally “got it right.” They built their fortunes on the backs of others, in the safe space called the USA. Now they want to break that system for anyone else, just so they can squeeze more millions out of us.

    The justification, you twat, is that it obviously worked for you.

    Didn’t he say just the other day that this was “all just a joke”? Make up your damned mind weirdo.

      This is always in their playbook. They get called out for acting stupid and they are all “we are just joking.” If they don’t get called out they are all “we are serious.” The truth is they are just clowns.
