Keep focusing on Musk.
Trump will lose his shit that he’s not the one in the spot light.
Trump will throw him out.
Musk is forgetting one of the most important rules of fascism. You can’t become god emperor while the previous god emperor is still alive.
You can’t become god emperor while the previous god emperor is still alive.
Musk easily has enough money to make that happen.
Don’t threaten me with a good time!

If we’re very lucky they’ll destroy each other.
What is it about this timeline that makes you think we’re lucky?
We’re due? 🤷♂️
Unfortunately, this is a common misunderstanding with how probability works.
Come on, this machine is hot. It’s bound to pay out anytime now.
Never tell me the odds.

Biden still being the actual president during this is entirely lost.
For real, Biden should tell him to sit down Young Muskifucker. But he’s probably just gonna let it slide as a sneak preview.
Biden is the oligarchies old guy. He ain’t gonna do shit, just like he hasn’t done shit as fascism seized power. Trump/MAGA/Musk is the oligarchies NEW guy. The oligarchy IS fascism.
So what I am reading is its better if we all pick up the Green Mario banner now instead of later?
Like this?
Or, an official act blue shell
I know, right?
President Musk must have great leverage over office assistant Trump to last this long.
Oh no, this isn’t the onion community.
Being reported as Onion-level satire, however (despite the click-bait headline), American Prospect has a solid history and track record.

I want to marry this rag.
We are literally living in some dystopian film. Xelon is the evil that we all need to defeat.
We need a better nickname than Xelon. He needs to be referred to as setting way dumber than that
He has an obsession with the letter “X”, so that’s why I started calling him Xelon. It’s Xelon Xusk if we’re being formal. We need to Space X him out to Mars as soon as possible.
I just call him “Schmuck”.
I previously was referring to him as “that junkie”.
The general media narrative: the qons all voted for “populism”, because of “economic anxiety”.
Meanwhile, we are watching two billionaires having a hissy over who’s going to be the boss in January…Clearly, these two have the concerns of the “forgotten man” foremost in their thoughts and actions… 🙄
Read the article, that title is shit and neither of those things happened. He just posted on twitter a lot.
The title means that Musk acted as if he’s the president and dictated to Republicans to not pass the legislation that needs to pass. It doesn’t mean he literally declared himself president. That would be stupid.
I’ll be honest, I was not gonna be surprised if he had done that.
Well yeah. I don’t think they were trying to be too serious with this one.
If conservatives can write sensationalist titles…
love and war, etc.
Any normal President wouldn’t threaten Congress in this way. He’s acting as Supreme Ruler right now.
Okay the madnes of Trump’s second term will cause untold suffering, but it sure will be interesting to watch.
“I might get murdered in my sleep for being queer or hunted down and jailed for my political beliefs, but at least I’ll be entertained!”
Nobody can stop this train. You may as well learn to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
I’ll laugh when I wake up and realize my being in America right now was just a bad dream and actually I had moved many years prior to a nice little bungalow on the southern coast of Spain where I have a well-established vineyard and a little garden and coincidentally have become fluent in Spanish. I will laugh with particular enthusiasm over the news of the chaos in America just before settling in for my siesta, after which I’ll make off-color jokes with my neighbors over a glass or two of homemade sherry about when we can expect Trump to meet with an unfortunate accident involving a window.
That’s when I’ll laugh.
I literally changed my voter registration because this election made me remember my address and party affiliation are public record in my state.
Same. I’ll never register Dem again unless there’s a progressive primary candidate.
You have to register which party you are going to vote?! Really?
You have to register which party you are going to vote?! Really?
You must live in a civilized country.
You can say no preference or independent. One purpose of party affiliation is to determine which primaries you get to vote in. So if you are a Democrat you can’t vote in a Republican primary. But of course you can switch any time.
The entire system is designed to ensure that only the two establishment parties can win elections.
The article doesn’t show any evidence of Musk ‘declaring himself President’, and he didn’t (and can’t) shut down the government either.
What the fuck is this headline?
He convinced Trump to stop it while also threatening GOP lawmakers with primary money if they supported the original bill.
Musk directly caused this more than any one other person.
Did Musk declare himself President? No. Did he shut down the government? No.
If I convinced my friend to ask that girl out he’s interested in, would it be accurate to say I asked her out? Also no.
My statement stands. The headline is bullshit, ragebait bullshit I might add.
If I convinced my friend to ask that girl out he’s interested in,
And paid her boyfriend to break up with her (Speaker Johnson and the first CR), and threatened the employment of any other guy in her class (threatened to fund primaries of opponents).
He did a lot more than just convince Trump. Turns out having more money than God is also a factor.
He did a lot more than just convince Trump.
But he didn’t do either of the two things the headline claims he did, so, again, my point stands.
Ah so he wants AnCap
