    I dont like how everyone is so focused on musk. Seems like a distraction from how bad trump is. If elon goes, trump stays, but if trump goes, then all of the assholes go with him.

      JD Vance is next in line. Vance and Elon are circling Trump like a pair of vultures on a half dead carcass.

      But Musk is one of the many bad things Trump has done, in fact things like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, Fort Liberty, and mount Denali and other stupid ass executive orders coming out of the oval office are specifically designed to outrage us and keep us distracted from Musk dismantling the government behind the scenes.

      There’s a decent chance of Musk going because he’s there at the whim of notoriously fickle narcissist Trump. There is pretty much zero chance of Trump going anywhere for the next four years as long as he’s alive.

      idk disagree Musk is literally Goebbels and I think you highly underestimate the human being’s ability to care about more than one thing

      further! and this is significant, Musk is not an elected official. he does not have immunity for crimes he commits.

      The thing everyone seems to be missing is that, Trump isn’t in charge any more.

      Look at his tweets, or whatever the fuck they’re called, mostly focused and on point. Listen to his words, he doesn’t ramble on and on and on. We only hear truncated quips. Also, he clearly has coaching that he’s listening to.

      Anyone remember how he got more and more demented as the election came closer? Anyone remember how his cognition dropped off a cliff in 2021 or so, and continued downwards, fast? How does he sound reasonably sane now?

      The Project 2025 people have got him locked in as a mouthpiece, nothing more. Competent people are now in charge, this won’t be like 2017.
