Trump reportedly complaining about Elon in private — and hates ‘President Musk’ joke
Be careful Don. If President Musk sees this, he may become upset with you and cut off your funding.
I don't know what everyone is bitching about, the US is finally getting their first African American president
FTFY
I don't know what everyone is bitching about, the US is finally getting their first African American president
Joke? What joke? President Musk is proof that the American Dream is well and alive if a South African who isn't even legally a US American Citizen can buy himself a country as long as he works hard spending the money earned from his father's child-slave powered emerald mine.... Well there's hope for the rest of us*
as long as he works hard spending the money earned from his father’s child-slave powered emerald mine…
I hate this misconception. Barely any of it is emerald money. His wealth is all based off defrauding his customers, investors and the US government, lying about everything, and doing tons of illegal stuff like pump n dumps.
Yes, but without the Emerald Mines he wouldn't have enough money to be in a position where he could tell lies on that scale. Stealing is a lot easier when you already have a ton of cash.
No one's going to listen to a crazed drunken hobo when he tries to sell you a timeshare, but if a guy tripping balls on cocaine wearing a nice suit with a proper haircut promises you the literal god damn moon... Well that's a different story now isn't it?
It's not the lie itself, it's the image you have while telling the lie.
If you see a man's face and name on a billboard, then see that same man telling you he can spin hay into gold, you believe him. Because how could he have that fancy billboard if he couldn't?
Also Pump and dumps aren't illegal anymore
You need money to grift money
I agree with your sentiment but to my knowledge Musk is a naturalized US citizen
He got his visa under false pretenses and stayed after it was no longer valid, people have been deported for less
Oh man, President Musk isn't going to like this. Good thing Trump is too chickenshit to voice this more publicly.
He can't voice it publicly or he'll get fired!!
What joke? He bought the presidency, and Thiel bought Vance for the vice presidency. It's the Musk/Theil ticket featuring the old guy who signs bills, and the guy who will replace old guy when old guy does.
first lady trump is big mad!
Look at this way, you're taking back the insults that they use and throwing back against them in a way that's effective because they are who they are. My interpretation are these insults are not actually meant to be an insult to women, just Trump.
We could call him "First puppet."
I prefer 'second servant trump'
With Facebook not fact-checking I really see this as an opportunity to galvanize the President Musk fact on as many posts as possible. Complaining about it only makes first lady Trump sound like a woke fake news puppet.
I think we need to allow the wealthy to have pistol duels like in the past. Also they must be to the death. At least we will be rid of one problem regardless each time...
In the past, the aggrieved party got to choose pistols or swords. And I'm thinking swords would be much more fun to watch. I'd pay good money to watch those two bozos flailing at each other with cutlasses.
They will just use seconds.
Nope, a second was someone who looked over the other guy. THEY have to do it.
I think it would be really amusing to watch them shit themselves in fear live as they miss by a mile and have to reload in order to get the other. Comedy gold.
Now that's an alternative motive for one to get rich. "Why do you think you would be a good fit for this company."
"I really want to grow my investment portfolio so I can fall into the wealthy category to achieve my dreams"
Vice President Trump should do something about it then
What are you going to do about it, Mr. Vice President? You going to let that foreigner steal your spotlight? Pansy.
Should their couple name be Trusk or Mump?
Elonald mump
Thanks, I hate it!
Mump, because it's similar to a disease.
+1 Reminds me of Andrew Wakefield.
Mump sat alone in a boggy marsh... Totally motionless except for his heart....
OK, then it is "King Musk" and "Jester Donald".
This is perfect.
...don't really give a shit if he's annoyed with Musk. Please put him in prison.
It is unclear, who do you want locked in prison?
Yes
Porque no los dos?
“hates ‘President Musk’ joke”
I mean… isn’t that the whole point? Wouldn’t his “big brain” understand that most obvious of ploys?
Even if you see it as a ploy, there's an underlying truth to it, and even as he may wish to not fall for the ploy, he probably can't help but to face the reality that drives the ploy.
So, is President Musk going to shove his hand up Dumpy's ass or just use strings?
He wants him to piss on him. That's been the fetish right?
So.... Literally no new content.
I hate both of these guys, but this article is repeating old news from a month ago and speculating on the fact that trump has never left anyone unscathed after working with him.
Ya know... You now have immunity to get rid of him...
You love to see it!
I mean, he did sell himself to the highest bidder.
Now he is Elmo's pooch.
Joke?
Exactly my thought
Hurt his widdle feels.
Musk Puppet, king of Magastan
It's not a joke if it's true.
who's joking?
It isn't a joke, sadly.
Elon is about to be POTUS, but hey you'll be there too Donnie. Every President needs a first lad.
President Musk doesn’t care, he’s going to get what he paid for and then some. Pray he doesn’t alter the deal further.
The problem with this is that Trump acting on his own, or in pure MAGA mode, is even worse than him acting under Musk's influence. I mean I absolutely hate Musk and the bad name he's given EV's, but his influence on Trump is literally my only glimmer of hope that the American vehicle fleet will electrify enough--and quickly enough--to stave off the very worst version of climate catastrophe. Sadly Musk either doesn't seem to give a shit about his own company, or is too busy making the cynical play that in a subsidy-free market Tesla wins due to sheer scale, as long as tariffs keep out cheap import EVs... it wouldn't be the first time he had screwed the EV market at large in order to be the top dog in a smaller luxury niche.
But again, with immigration, Musk and Vivek are the only dissenting voices in a sea of xenophobia, even though, again, I hate the cynical anti-labor motivations behind their advocacy for H1B visas. Still, the alternative is Stephen Miller and full-on white supremacy with no exceptions for smart hard-working brown people.
It absolutely sucks that our glimmer of hope is that the billionaires who used to sound more liberal will feel some weird compulsion to act consistent with their past statements, and it's a very slim chance that this will happen anyways. But given the state of affairs, it's what we've got.
If you think having electric vehicles or not during Trump's 4 years is what saving our climate depends on, you need to educate yourself, because that's utterly ridiculous.
I think a burner of musk wrote this
Yeah reads like someone is sitting next to him and giving an example of how you're supposed to run a sock puppet account.
Adrian? that you?
it wouldn’t be the first time he had screwed the EV market at large in order to be the top dog in a smaller luxury niche
Ultimately, you talked yourself out of your first point, and this is apt, at best Tesla might get a few federal vehicle purchases to go electric rather than ICE, but a trivial volume. Musk doesn't seem to be pushing anything that would broadly elevate the EV industry, and the likely problems for EVs he seems to think would net benefit Tesla anyway
But again, with immigration, Musk and Vivek are the only dissenting voices in a sea of xenophobia,
Hardly counts, the recipients of H1B aren't the ones that were ever likely to get the inhuman treatment that Stephen Miller would see dished out. They want an indentured servant class, and H1B is closest to that.
Reportedly is a key word here...
Good. Let's keep it up!
Tough shit Putin's Sock Puppet. you picked the racist bastard. and he bought your dumbass.
He is stealing my show.
Musk is basically a pimp lol
Firstly, "President Musk" isn't a joke.
Secondly, half the reason everybody says it is to piss off Vice-President Trump.
Fixed it for you. Trump doesn't even have the prestige or influence of a vice president (and that alone speaks volumes) in this situation.
Edit: no offense meant to women/trans folks.
Hey, just so you're aware, a lot of women and trans people find this joke pretty misogynistic and transphobic since it implies that it would be more demeaning for Elon to be a woman or queer than it is for him to be his regular cringey self. Something to keep in mind so we don't friendly-fire on our allies!
Edit for anyone still struggling with this: if 👏 you 👏 misgender 👏 ANYONE 👏 on purpose 👏 then 👏 trans 👏 people 👏 will 👏 not 👏 trust 👏 you 👏
ThePowerofGeek, you're great and appreciated and I hope you don't read anything below from the people who want you to have a worse reaction so their feelings don't get hurt vicariously.
Trump isn't even vice president. He is "guy who has to sign papers."
Rubber-stamp Don
First "Gentleman" Trump.
