I think that he gets a lot of hate, but you have to admit that it's really impressive to switch directions so often and fast without any spine.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Without any spine..... Musk.....
wait a minute.....
is Musk a Mollusk ?
The first person to make an Elon=Oceanman joke gets an icepick to the kidneys
tfw this drugged out fuckwit gets more press for shitting on trump than the entirety of the Democratic party.
That’s partly because unlike Democrats, he’s actually speaking out and taking a contrarian stance on topics.
When he thought he could work with Trump, he went all-in. Now that he realizes that two narcissists will always have conflicting goals, he’s all-in on fighting Trump.
The Democrats, on the other hand, have mostly spent this time saying “let’s discuss working together to come to an agreeable compromise” while doing not much that’s actually useful one way or the other.
Elon may be politically inept and only looking out for his own interests, but he does know how to grab the public’s attention and how to force people to act.
Find me the quotes where Democrats say let's come to an agreeable compromise and I'll match them with Democrat quotes actually speaking out and taking a contrarian stance on topics. Heck I'll triple them.
The issue is that corporate news sewers do not care about the public's interest or a healthy government. They care about money, and Elmo stories generate money.
That's why the Democrats have to start lighting some shit on fire.
I haven't kept up with the plot this season. Trump's nemesis is still Biden right? Or did Obama somehow return?
In Obama II: Birth Certificate Boogaloo, they find the long form version of the birth certificate and he becomes Super Kenyan, where he eats all the dogs and cats in the neighborhood before pretending he will get single payer health care passed.
Thanks Obama
If he tries to run a third term, I always thought it would be hilarious if Obama ran against him. Like, he'd absolutely win.
No I think it's one of the representatives that voted against his bill.
Elon Musk has promised to donate to Rep. Thomas Massie’s re-election campaign as the Kentucky Republican faces down the wrath of Donald Trump.
for a second there, I thought he was gonna donate to Obama or something.
eh. that'd be something.
Mom, the billionairs are using their wealth to manipulate who gets elected again.
The writers at The Daily Beast have such a talent for hyperbole.
Trump's Nemesis? That would be a socialist. A very decent and articulated socialist.
Like Zohran?
This is why kids should learn impulse control.
It's all distraction. Once the bigly budget passes, they'll be back to circle jerks and sleepovers with Fox on the teeveez.
The law sitting in the background like Undertaker when he got drafted to Raw.
