It has been seriously suggested that this is just Elon's way of getting around the requirement of the birthright Presidential restriction, he wants to be "President" and can only do it through someone else, for instance it is reported that he has been at Mar a Lardo almost every day since the election buzzing in Trump's ear and pushing for his own picks for important positions.pipbarber wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2024 2:01 pm https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... department
Finally, straight white billionaire men get the chance to influence how government operates! About time i say. They're going to save so much money....i mean elon has saved heaps of money already, he's got hundreds of billions saved, imagine how much he'll have saved in four years time!

I'm not sure the likenesses holds up. Maybe there is something Henry VIII about Trump, but i can't see any Thomas Cromwell in Musk. However, history may indeed rhyme in this instance.
So that was the deal then. You give me lots of money and public support and i'll let you dismantle whichever government department you don't particularly like? This is all going to end so badly. Musk though is likely to get bored of the whole thing soon enough and really he doesn't fit the identity profile required. He's not much of a christian and he's not even a true American! Obviously i'm taking about shit i have no real idea of, but i don't think the maga mob really 'love' Elon. He'd have to offer them something directly beneficial, like free internet, to win them over but even then i'm not sure it'd work.
My guess is that Musk will play a big part in collapsing the economy whilst crippling or abolishing the governmental departments that could support a recovery. At that point he'll probably step back and start buying everything. Maybe take about a year. And when things start going really badly for maga, Musk might well find himself being blamed for it all. Can't blame the Dems when they have no legislative power, can't blame immigrants because rounding them up and deporting them has to be marketed as a huge success.
Anyway, if things do go sour for Musk my only hope is that he doesn't decide to move to Australia, because we all know that if he had to skip town we'd defo be an option, what with all our expat South African white farmer types and our completely racist history, and contemporary society. He'd probably buy Byron Bay and cleanse it of all those Hollywood actor types that own it now...and then he could buy the libs and run for PM! Actually, I don't know why he isn't here already!

Getting insulted by intelligent people, oh wait, that's us right"
https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/ ... 024-11-17/A ship's horn sounded as she spoke and she joked, "I think it's Elon Musk," before adding, "I'm not afraid of you, fuck you, Elon Musk."
Musk, owner of social network X, reacted to a video of her remarks by posting a laughing out loud emoji graphic. In another post, he added, "They are going to lose the next election," in a reference to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
