Summary

During a meeting with House Republicans, President-elect Donald Trump publicly mocked Elon Musk, saying, “Elon won’t go home. I can’t get rid of him,” as Musk has spent extensive time with Trump recently.

The comments were seen as an assertion of Trump’s dominance, with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell noting the uncomfortable laughter from the room.

Musk has been tapped to co-lead the new “Department of Government Efficiency” (nicknamed “DOGE”), a role critics describe as superficial.

Observers predict Trump and Musk’s alliance may sour due to their clashing egos.

    These people seemingly love to play cuck for one another, though. I mean, donvict likely did his DJ sesh thanks to hating Noem. He and “little” Marco have bagged on each other how much?

    This was donvict saying this:

    When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it.

    So, donvict is implying that Elon would have blown donvict. We all know that is what he is saying here.

    And Elon’s back for more of that, I guess? I guess he is just not rich enough already? Seriously, Elon could fuck off with his billions right now and never have to get involved in politics at all, and never have to “work” ever again (I doubt what he does would constitute what most would consider “work”, but…) but I guess he’s just as much of a narcissist as the rest of these assholes.
