Reporters need to start asking trump how he likes working with such a wealthy person as Musk…

Their egos are too big to coexist

They should ask Trump if, while hanging around Musk, Trump has now seen how rich people live.

They should ask Vice President Trump if he enjoys working under “President Musk”

Nah, demeaning to women, and I’m not even the type to say that for a lot of things.

Let’s make Trump Elon’s First Lad.

It’s lucky that Elon is the president and not Trump.

I think it was an YUGE step for Trump to admit he can’t do the job on his own. And, to let Rupert Murdoch and Vladmir make him let Elon have control could not have been easy. So kudos Don, for admitting you’re just not smart enough and needed help.

The greatest South African inserted Immigrant President of all time.

That fuckin dunce is never going to be smart enough to admit fault in anything. Dude could shit his pants and blame someone else in the room the next day, no problem.

I think he does shit his pants. MAGATs went through a phase of “real men wear diapers”.

Unsurprisingly, this also works on Trump supporters. They get furious when you even go so far as accidentally and unintentionally imply that Musk’s opinion will influence Trump’s actions.

8 years ago I’d have thought “Elon will step out of the limelight to avoid upsetting Trump so he can use his White House access to make a ton of money.” Now, I know he’s just as narcissistic and stupid as Donald Trump is.

Something in him changed. Broke. Maybe all the drugs fucked him up. Idk. I used to look up to him. In the last say decade, I’ve condemned him. I’d love to see him flogged in public.

His origin story is that he bullied a kid so much for dead parents in his school that the kid eventually pushed Elon down the stairs and he swore to never be able to be picked on again.

He’s always been a villain he was just charismatic enough and pretended to be the good guy until the mask broke and he went full villain to try and put the mask back up.

I can’t even be excited for the awesome things some of his compaines are doing. The engineers ar Space X are doing amazing work but all I think about when I see it is Musk.
