Summary
Elon Musk has reportedly been staying at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate since Trump’s election win, raising eyebrows with his frequent presence and involvement.
Musk, who has donated millions to Trump’s reelection, was recently seen dining with the former president and even joined a call with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.
Although he has no formal role, sources say Musk is influencing Trump’s decisions and staffing.
Veteran tech journalist Kara Swisher warns Musk may eventually be ousted, noting Trump “goes through people like tissues.”
Elon looks up to Trump a lot.
Birds of a fascist feather flock together.
Has Trump named a Secretary of Transportation yet? Or an Administrator of NASA? Either way I think I know what companies are going to start getting government contracts.
Reminds me of the 8 year old me when I told my mom in advance to not allow a sleep over of her best friends son because he wasn’t allowed to play golden eye on the n64 and I wanted to play that.
The difference is Trump didn’t organize someone to tell Elon for him now he is stuck with that friend til he gets picked up again. Which will never happen Lol.
There’s a bigger story here. The tech industry is making a play as a lot of tech billionaires had openly supported Trump late in the election cycle. Elon weirdly becoming Trumps shadow. Bezos human-centipeding himself to Trumps corn hole. a16z doing an about face after supporting Democrats all these years, openly admitting its because “fuck you, lower taxes for the rich”.
Elon surviving Trumps conveyor belt of cronies is irrelevant. The tech billionaires have signaled they are all in on Trump. It’s pretty obvious his regime is better for them. No more regulatory road blocks. Policy that personally benefits wealthy individuals.
What is going to happen with all the Google antitrust stuff. I assume it’s as good as gone.
I suspect big tech knew with near 100% certainty the Trump victory. It’s their whole reason for existence to know these things. I might even be inclined to say they nudged it in their favor. Elon suddenly inserting himself into the picture is pretty damning. I think he knew if not outright leveraged Twitter until their internal analytics showed a certain Trump victory.
The Bezos thing is really pissing me off! Now i have to drive all over town to pick up things i could have had delivered.
My pet theory was that the tech bros are lined up so that once turnip takes power, jv dunce can 25th him and boom, our government is being run by the puppet of peter theil and elmo.
His lickspittle behavior at the orange palace though might just fuck it all up. 🤞
Starlink was involved in some of the voting machines, so that adds more suspicion
I don’t believe that theory. How does an ISP impact the functionality of a voting machine, especially when they have paper copies of the ballots? It’s not like they were running SpaceX software on the machine, just using it as an Internet connection to report results to a centralized database. Conspiracies like this are what we fought against in 2020, when the QAnon fools thought Hugo Chavez and Dominion stole the election from Trump.
Plus, the Dems just got outplayed. Rubes went deep into every social media environment while the Dems acted like it was still 2002.
Edit: all they had to do was go on podcasts and even X and share memes of Lima Khan as Ghengis raiding the corpos and talk about how they were coming after each and every one. Shut up about Trump. It was that easy.
Please stop. We don’t need a blue “stop the steal”, take this L and learn from it instead of boosting impossible conspiracies about Starlink and packet tampering
Him going public with that seems like a favor he did because he wasn’t sure his orange horse’s gotta win. Billionaires doesn’t usually trade their face in such a silly manner.
He’s spending more time with Trump at his home than Trump’s wife. Is there… something you’re not telling us, Elon? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
His pictures inserting himself in the family are hilarious. There is no way this ends well at least for one of them.
Lover’s quarrel that leads to a murder-suicide?
God don’t tease me like this
One can dream
