Summary
Donald Trump has privately expressed annoyance with Elon Musk, despite their recent closeness.
Musk, a major Trump donor, has reportedly irritated Trump by his frequent presence at Mar-a-Lago and his bold interactions.
Trump dislikes the “President Musk” nickname and finds Musk’s assertiveness challenging, though he values Musk’s financial contributions.
According to insiders, their relationship is “fraught” but functional, with Musk’s influence limited compared to key advisers like Susie Wiles and Stephen Miller.

All hail your new president, Elonald Mump

Trump, Trump… Oh! You mean the guy Elon bought?
Haven’t thought about him or the sofa guy in a while.
Peter Thiel must be sad. I wonder if he was the one who hired Milo to trash talk about Loomer to Trump to get her off the campaign trail.
Joke
Lol
B-b-but Trump is safe! Elon Musk cannot be president because he was not born in America. Trump said so himself!
Trump dislikes the “President Musk” nickname and finds Musk’s assertiveness challenging, though he values Musk’s financial contributions.
Obviously Musk is the provider in this relationship, so Trump is the trophy bride.
Good
I don’t think anyone could last very long being in the same room as elon. That’s gotta get annoying real fast.
He’s paid Trump something like $3M/day. I’ll put up with a lot of shit for $3M.
Although, now I think about it, after I’ve collected a few hundred mil, that next $3M probably wouldn’t seem so compelling.
After a couple days I’d be more than set…but I’d put up with it for longer just to drain his wealth and redistribute it
Its all been spent before he gets it
The Trump stench has to be unbearable, too.
Yeah, I bet he’s got Trump’s two brain cells both constantly firing at the same time. Complete overload.
Haha, he’s so easy to play, even we can sway the president… man, this is gonna suck.
Premise: Trump doesn’t like Musk and wants him gone, but doesn’t want to make an enemy of the world’s richest man
Premise: Musk is still there
Conclusion: Even a man who loves firing people on TV finds it awkward to say “You’re cancelled” to someone who could buy the network.
I was under the assumption that he already bought the network.
Not news. Just gossip. Pointless gossip
Its UK journalism
It’s owned by a UK-resident Russian oligarch and a Gulf despot. It started as a centrist publication aspiring to high journalistic standards, not controlled by the usual media owners, since getting bought by Lebedev, it now has an incoherent political stance and veers from tabloid shite to occasional attempts at serious reportage. A real dog’s breakfast.
"They’re the same picture. "
We already did this joke last time with Steve Bannon and it didn’t change anything.
But majority of Americans don’t know who Bannon is. They do know who Musk is… so it may stick around longer.
Who’s to say if it didn’t change anything? If it keeps their camp in even slightly more disarray and distrust, the inefficiency in enacting terrible policies could save lives.
That said, I do think this time is a bit different since I believe Bannon is happy to play the role of sycophant, but Elon has a lot of ego going into this. Even with no outside pressure, Trump and Elon are going to have major personality clashes sooner than later.
Joke? musk is the president. trump has to ask his permission to shit his own diaper.
I’m waiting for Musk getting tossed in supermax as an “official act.” Arrested after a firefight between his security and an FBI SWAT team.
