politics

He accomplished all he set out to do, with one caveat, because he stood in the bad limelight his image and monetary value took a serious nosedive. This last part is why he now is standing in the back, yet leering around the room wherever the president is.

The one thing he was aspiring towards did receive a huge blow, he was racing to become the world's first trillionaire. And it might just be a setback that he can catch up with, but for now he does need to focus to try and crank all his stocks back up...

Bullshit. He got pretty much everything he wanted, including gigantic government contracts for his businesses, while stopping all investigations into his criminal activity and negligent products. Also got to get high on swinging his dick around a lot, and still has trump offering him more favors for more money.

It wouldn't be a Trump administration without reality TV drama. That harms millions of people.

what's with the claims of south african genocide currently being pushed, then?

How crazy to be the useful idiot’s useful idiot.

Such nonsense. Musk was along for the ride on the recent Middle East trip. The staff may hate him, but HitlerPig is keeping him close. He's going to need him to hack the next few elections.

If things are quieter, it's only because his board threatened to replace him after that disastrous earnings call, which has to have stoked threats of a shareholder lawsuit. The stock tanked as a direct result of his irresponsible behavior, which has done irreparable damage to the company's brand image, and the stockholders aren't going to just accept the loss of millions of dollars.

So he's keeping a low profile right now, until things cool off, but his presence on the Mideast trip means HitlerPig still wants him around.

He did everything he set out to do. Gutted every agency that got in his way of doing whatever he wanted with his companies. That's not fair. He needs to be jailed for this sabotage of our government. Let's not let some narrative of failure muddy the water on him actually doing those things

Elon left the White House an utter failure.

No, he didn’t. He killed all the government investigations into him and awarded his companies huge contracts worth $billions for the foreseeable future. He achieved everything he really set out to do. DOGE was just the distraction.

Two attention hungry vainglorious narcissists can’t exist in the same space for long.

That's OK though. Libs were owned. Another event that will do nothing to harm the support from Trumps base.

No amount of death or self-harm matters to magas as long as libs were owned and some brown people were put in their place.

I wonder if Elon knows he's a scapegoat. Like obviously he's a villain brought in to do a bunch of shit that was always in the Trump plan but would be unpopular with a bunch of people so Trump's team could say "Oh no! We didn't do any of that stuff it was all this evil Musk guy!" I just wonder if he knows that. He is pretty stupid in a lot of ways, but I really don't think he's truly dumb enough to not realize that was his role in the Trump admin, but he is also increasingly delusional about his own skill and intelligence so maybe that won out.

“Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!” a typically mild-mannered Bessent was heard shouting after Musk as they charged down the halls of the West Wing.

Video?

Failure by what metric? First off, he went in and destroyed everything he wanted to. He got the FAA to cancel their contract with Verizon and sign with Starlink for communication; He and DOGE gutted agencies that were supposed to regulate SpaceX, Neuralink, Tesla, and X; DoJ dropped a case agains SpaceX; and since he started his rampage, more than 40 agencies have taken no actions on investigations into his companies suggesting they are at least being slow walked if not dropped all together. The transportation department lowered requirements for Tesla and other companies to report incidents with self driving cars, and the FAA gave SpaceX permission to quintuple their number of launches despite the effect on the environment and air travel.

In what way was this a failure? Because Trump and his people hate him? Frankly, everyone hates Musk these days. Plus, I wear it as a badge of honor when the likes of Trump and his cronies hate me.

Yeah I don’t buy it. Republicans are trying to save face. They cheered him on the entire election.

They all hate Trump too because he's cut from the same cloth.

He, like orange donnie, was born a failure.

I hope that some day Elon comes to realize that he is utterly alone. No one, and I mean no one likes him. Everyone in his life that is friendly or supportive to his face, is putting on a show trying to get money from him or through their association with him. The assortment of adoring losers that identify with him, are merely chasing a mirage. They don’t adore him, only the fictional character that he’s constructed for PR purposes. He has to buy friends. He has to buy sex and offspring. He even has to buy the illusion of trivial accomplishments like progress in video games. He is peak loser, everyone can see it, and only a few are willing to lie to his face in exchange for maybe getting some cash. No amount of money, or fear driven bigotry, or trolling, or descendants will ever fill the gaping hole in that fetid husk he calls a soul. If there is any justice, he will be moping, riddled with regret about all this someday whenever he gets around to dying, alone in some dusty metaphorical corner.

"Entire Trump team hated Elon Musk"....

If you'll recall, after Trump's first term, it was revealed that the entire Trump team hated Donald Trump.

Basically, any marginally competent person will hate working with people like Trump or Musk who make drastic changes without any reason or even any idea of what they're doing.

He’s not gone, though. They lie constantly, and of course about this.

Imagine having to put up with two self-absorbed billionaire asshats at the office every day.
