Summary
Elon Musk is reportedly staying at a $2,000-per-night cottage at Mar-a-Lago, just steps from Donald Trump’s main residence.
Musk moved in around Election Day, watched results with Trump, and left briefly around Christmas.
Concerns in Washington are growing over Musk’s influence on Trump, as he has participated in personnel meetings, foreign leader talks, and legislative interventions.
The close relationship between the two has drawn scrutiny, with Trump publicly praising Musk. Musk’s stay, accompanied by some of his children, highlights the billionaire’s deepening ties to Trump’s inner circle.
Just right out into the open. This sort of blatant corruption would end careers back in the day.
Shame has become a meaningless word.
Yes, the multi-decade propaganda machine of the right wing has been a roaring success.
That’s why like 51% of the US voted for an sociopathic authoritarian oligarch, and the only other option was a pro-corporatocracy neoliberal.
It doesn’t change the meaning of your post but just a reminder that Trump got less than 50% of the popular vote.
And hypocrisy.
The number of Trump scandals that would have ended anyone else’s career is mind boggling.
It’d put people in jail back in the day.
Good thing rule of law has completely collapsed for everyone above a certain threshold of wealth, otherwise you could hope for consequences.
The fact that it doesn’t speak volumes about who really is in power.
If you pay attention to the Elon jet tracker this has been obvious for a bit. He’s constantly flying to and from Mar-a-lago.
Guaranteed he had more to do with the election than people are told
He bought a social media company and made it blatantly political and then spent like $30million per month on just his donations to Trumps campaign.
I wouldn’t be surprised he did more than that.
All that is why he should be stopped
And who’s going to do that?
Someone less concerned about their own safety than their future
I’m genuinely surprised at the prevailing assumption that Musk’s interests align with those of the general population.
Like if you hired actual experts to lead the DOGE thing they would be motivated to act in the interests of their employer (the government) because their future success would depend on their ability to do so.
Musk’s future success is dependent on his ability to restructure government according to his own interests exclusively.
Case in point, the current visa fiasco. His position is very clearly aligned with his own interests.
I don’t care who you voted for, this Musk thing is just bonkers.
I’m genuinely surprised at the prevailing assumption that Musk’s interests align with those of the general population.
Who on Earth is assuming that?
Everyone who isn’t frothing at the mouth, apoplectic with rage at his involvement?
I mean, we have a location.
Oh my god, they were roommates
Just friends, dude
“I will call him… Mini-me”
I like this because it’s unclear who’s who in your eyes and it’s obvious that both these megalomaniacs think its referring to the other
Vance is like, “yo. Wtf, man?”
Who? 😂
Dude really disappeared after making an ass of himself and when Musk in Chief came in.
Vance is Scott
“I guess he doesn’t want any CHOCOLATE! It’s like catnip for clones!”
Yeah Musk needs to put his side chick in check.
Return to office or be fired! Oh yeah I’m going to Florida, bye
Are we suggesting a two birds, one stone situation?
2 guys 1 cup
He flew in last night. https://bsky.app/profile/elonjet.net/post/3lekxc3tpvt2q
I wonder which smells worse. the main house or the cottage.
Trump probably smells worse because is constantly shitting himself. Musk probably smells bad because he never bathes.
Yes.
Influence on donvict? Musk is the President and donvict is Musk’s First Lady.
And if this broligarch is somehow thrown out as President and donvict needs a new sugar daddy(s), I suppose there is Thiel and Andreesen. And Vivek. Linda McMahon. Are the Mercers still around? What about the other members of the Paypal Mafia?
Butt sex
I read this, and the Isaac Hayes/Chef voice that lives in the back of my head asked who’s havin’ butt sex?
So Musk is doing a lot of cottaging around Trump?
Nuke it. We’d see if being a handful of radioactive ash bars one from being the president of the US of A.
