If they’re imploding at this rate, what will January 21st look like?

I mentioned it in another comment but I would not be shocked if DOGE is dead and buried by the time Trump takes office.

Which is going to cause a lot of chaos when Elon retaliates.

Trump has really done a deal with the devil. He’s fucked whether he sticks with Elon or offloads him.

u/HauntedReader 1d ago edited 1d ago

To be fair, I think Elon also fucked himself thinking he could buy MAGA and they’d show him loyalty.

You cannot tell me Trump doesn’t have people already whispering in his ear about Elon trying to get rid of him.

Honestly it would be a bottomless buffet if Trump unleashes the DOJ on Elon Musk. Have Space X, PayPal and X investigated and brought down. I can't say I would approve of Presidents using the DOJ that way but its like that scene in Shawshank Redemption when the sex predator Boggs gets crippled for life by the guards.

I mean he did promise to drain the swamp. He would just be doing that who cares the reason. What i fear is Elon going running back to the dems. Given they gave a place at the table for the Cheney's they showed they have no bottom in embracing people.

u/Otherwise_Carob_4057 1d ago

lol at the people who thought Cheney endorsement was a great idea, it’s like getting Gym Jordan to endorse your brand of wrestling mats.

u/Sad-Development-4153 1d ago

Yeah wasting a month on that mess will be egg on the DNCs face for as long time.

u/John-the-cool-guy 1d ago

Those eggs are expensive. I thought Trump was going to fix that.

u/Bob-the-Belter 1d ago

God the dems suck too. They are going to double down and in 2028 there will be no candidate for the left at all.

u/Bob-the-Belter 1d ago

That's not what I said at all. I said they are going to double down. They are going to go even harder even towards the center. They are going to cozy up even more to war criminals, billionaires, and lobbyists. They are going to disavow "marxism".

u/Alternative_Trade546 1d ago

Musk has nothing to do with PayPal

6

u/Savitar2606 1d ago

He's associated with it and was there long enough. I doubt Trump will care to make that distinction.

11

u/EpikWingz 1d ago

Yeah... Thanks to the association, a co-worker i used to work with swears he invented PayPal because it's Elon Musk, the world's smartest man that's not asian.

2

u/Ok_Bad8531 1d ago

Come to think of it, i can easily imagine Asians mocking whites by pointing out the likes of orange and EM.

u/nadine258 1d ago

i believe thiel and elon created paypal and elon was fired. isn’t it interesting jd vance is almost forgotten and tied to thiel.

u/LeBaus7 1d ago

tesla is far more likely. and would have probably a lot more backup from the lifted diesel truck crowd.

u/Ok_Bad8531 1d ago

PayPal was his first successfull investment bet. They gladly accepted his money and then used legal means to prevent him from making any business decisions, like renaming the company to "X".

1

u/Ok_Bad8531 1d ago

Space X has already acted directly against US security interests (especially regarding the use of Starlink in Ukraine). It is the duty of the DOJ and White House to investigate them, and i hope Biden has very good reasons he has not done so

u/hplcr 1d ago

Trump about to pull a Palace Coup on President Elon.

u/belisarius_d 1d ago

"Mylord Elon the Musk is coming. He is not welcome"

u/ParisFood 1d ago

After all the $$$ Elon spent not sure he can easily be dismissed

18

u/Kiss-a-Cod 1d ago

You’re suggesting that there’s loyalty or appreciation for the money spent. There is not.

16

u/ParisFood 1d ago edited 1d ago

No I am saying Elon will make it difficult for him to be dismissed. I am sure he has favours he can call in and I bet that orange guy does not want made public.

10

u/Savitar2606 1d ago

Trump is just unhinged enough to just call his Elon's bluff and go for mutually assured destruction. He can have all of the US agencies start targeting Elon's companies and accounts.

3

u/ParisFood 1d ago

Oh they already have Elon was hoping his election would make those disappear for him

u/Kiss-a-Cod 1d ago

Happy cake day!

u/hplcr 1d ago

Trump may not live to see the next election. I don't know how Blackmail would even be a threat to him at this point.

3

u/javeng 1d ago

I am all for that, the more they fight the better it is for the rest of us .

Elon is about to find out that money only buys you the trappings of power, and power truly resides in the guy holding the gun or the one commanding them.

2

u/Kiss-a-Cod 1d ago

Yeah that sounds about right

12

u/hplcr 1d ago

If Trump is good at anything, it's taking other people's money and then leaving them high and dry.

And I wouldn't be shocked if he threatens to deport Leon in a few days.

3

u/HauntedReader 1d ago

I don’t know, he doesn’t hold power over the MAGA in Congress. They don’t need him to get re elected in their districts and the margin is so thin the republicans need them.

Look at the mess we see already with the budget

u/shittybeef69 1d ago

If Leon retaliates Trump will put the guy in prison or deport him. Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Which one was the devil again?

u/Available-Risk-5918 1d ago

We need this chaos. It's the only thing that'll protect us until the midterms. The only thing worse than a dysfunctional fascist government is a functional fascist government.

u/-Codiak- 1d ago

SO what happens when Elon makes the "CEO" party?
