Trump Threatens to Launch DOGE Investigation Into Elon Musk, Send Billionaire ‘Back Home to South Africa’
President Donald Trump threatened to launch a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) investigation into former DOGE head Elon Musk on Tuesday.
You're viewing a single thread.
People are making jokes but this is extremely dark and psychotic.
If he will even just make threats to white, male, billionaire who publicly supported him and funded him, then hopefully its a wake up call to the other billionaires. May be then they can start paying the DNC and the R Supreme Court judges who like free holidays to actually do something about Trump.
I would be extremely surprised if Trump actually follows through with any of this, but Musk is more than capable of escalating the situation like last time to the point Trump has to follow through.
As a naturalized citizen this is horrific. If he gets kicked out anyone can.
You didn't read the article.
Trump is saying if he takes away Elon's subsidies, Elon would be forced to pack up and go home.
Not that he would physically deport him.
It's a misleading title

What, you thought it would only happen to the poor brown people?
Ideally we would have open borders so I kind of hoped we wouldn’t target anyone
I was saying that Musk needs to be investigated, have his assets seized by the government and deported for months now and everyone has been upvoting it. So now its dark and psychotic because Trump is saying it?
As a general rule:
When any person who has shown by actions in the past that they are reasonable thinking, kind and generally have the true greater good in mind, a statement carries along this assessment background.
The exact same statement words delivered by a person with a history of nasty, cruel, uneducated, evil and erratic behavior gives very same words, it carries a very different notion woth it.
Exact same words, very different annotations.
I don't know you, so you can't be placed, but trump can clearly be placed.
Its always been dark and psychotic.
The context of who does a thing and how they'd be likely to do it matters; a surgeon cutting into someone with a scalpel can help heal them, but an untrained idiot with the same scalpel is likely to make the situation even worse than if the surgery hadn't even been tried.
Though I don't agree with the deportation bit, I view unwilling deportation as cruel, and taking his obscene pile of wealth away would also remove most of his ability to negatively effect society anyway (and if it didn't, then him being physically in a different country probably wouldn't help much either, or else would be pushing the problem onto them instead of solving it.)
