Trump Threatens to Launch DOGE Investigation Into Elon Musk, Send Billionaire ‘Back Home to South Africa’

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?

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.)

I want politics in my feed, though, just specifically not these two doing nothing! I have no idea how a filter like that would even be implemented (other than people just not posting them, lol) but I mean mahgawd.

Like, I thought about trying to filter out certain bluster-y keywords like "threatens, blasts, tweets, on X" but there are a lot of situations where even a statement can have consequences. I wanna know when minorities get blamed for insane bullshit again, or when nuclear war gets threatened again, or when someone is calling for peace talks again. Tariffs getting delayed for the 80th time is still gonna affect how things are getting priced.

But this nonsense where Trump say Musk bad, Musk say Trump bad, while neither of them have taken any actions against each other? No funding cuts to Musk companies, no investigations, no arrests. No specific opposition candidates being funded (if this even happens it'll still be a Republican), no DOGE backpedaling, no changes to Twitter, no re-banning Trump. just fucking god why who the fuck cares about any of the shit theyve said about each other over the last, what? 3 weeks???

An interesting application feature idea; filter profiles? Where filters, blocks, subscriptions, etc. are a set/group that can be toggled. You could make a separate account, I suppose. But there's also some likely overhead to consider.

it IS bullshit. nothing has happened. everything they say is bullshit until they actually do it. reporting on their bullshit has always been bad, but the last few weeks of this ""feud"" in particular have been a special blend of it

He made very similar threats a few weeks ago and then almost immediately backed down when he realized that literally none of them were taking his side.

For federal crimes. Governors can pardon people for state charges. Elections are run by the individual state governments, so interference is generally a state-level crime. This is why Trump hasn't pardoned himself for his own interference convictions, because the violations were of state law in New York.

Well if Musk comes out and admits that he helped rig the election them technically the president isn't the president eh? Plus informants make deals all of the time, I don't see how this is different
