      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.

    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.

    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… 🙄

          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.

    Any normal President wouldn’t threaten Congress in this way. He’s acting as Supreme Ruler right now.

    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.
