The guest list reportedly included Peter Thiel, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Milken, and Travis Kalanick.
Michael Milken, a financier who Mr Trump pardoned, was in attendance along with Steven Mnuchin
In case anyone was wondering about his star lineup.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's like a comic book. The League of Assholes
League of *Extraordinary Assholes
League of Fairly Ordinary Assholes that Inherited Money
They were born ordinary and became exceptional through hard work and dedication. And bootstraps.
Don’t forget the narcissism, sociopathy, and exploitation
Where are all those cops with the punisher logo on their vests when you need them. I'm starting to think they don't actually read punisher comics at all lol.
I wonder how many Trump supporters buy electric cars or solar panels?
Yeah it was a pretty dumb business move by Elon to become such a loud right-wing shithead when his core demographic of customers are people who are concerned about climate change.
Depends on the way it's framed. If you frame it as providing off-grid energy for the unreliable electricity grid provided by the country and less dependence on foreign oil, you can probably sell to the right wing as well.Because fuck the government and fuck foreigners.
The problem is they've mostly now been negatively polarized against non-polluting energy.
I just started a job selling solar. And I was told more right wing leaning people buy more systems if you push the "off grid" option.
Well then you have power when the SHTF.
And many right learners expect that any day now.
Well my Trump voting brother in law has solar and he bitches because it's underperforming but is surrounded by trees and wont trim them so he just goes on bitching that solar is not the answer.
All of them talk like they do but they’re driving 2002 Dodge Ram 2500s between DUIs.
Why do you think he’s trying to tank Tesla now?
Can we deport this guy yet? He meddles in elections and he wasn't even born here. Everyone accused Obama of being foreign but Musk literally is and is undermining our politics.
I say we just nationalize his shit. This asshat has no business owning Twitter or SpaceX. He's a literal threat to national security.
you mean like china did with alibaba
Kinda glad 5g turned up so I could switch off my starlink.
It's still a net positive for the world relative to the cost of laying fibre to every rural property, but they can use 1-2kW a day which seems unnecessary high, and Elon is problematic.
Nah, sending people into exile for their birthplace or taking part in politics is some middle ages shit. Only the bad guys actually want to go back to that. AFAIK he also has US citizenship (among others).
Also, ideally, foreigners taking part in politics should just give you international talking points. If that threatens your country, some safeguards are off. In that case, those should be fixed, so it's no longer a big deal.
Thankfully that's not how the US works. You don't just get to deport citizens because you don't like them. Exiling "undesirables" is what the bad guys do, not the good ones.
no. you don't do that in america
Every time I see a headline about this clown I have to check to see if it’s the onion
I had to double-check the headline to see which clown because there are more than a few clowns I have to do this for.
Get your big shoes out it’s honking time
I expect nothing less from someone who enjoyed South African apartheid and embraces China's 9-9-6 working conditions.
What is 9-9-6?
9am-9pm, 6 days a week.
I'm a 10am-4pm, 4 days a week kind of person myself, however.
It's the same bullshit pushed by anyone exploiting labor for their own gain.
Ultimately, you can't blame predatory psychopaths for being predatory psychopaths. You can only blame those who let them get away with it.
And that's all of us :)
(Oh and when I say let them get away with it, I mean: celebrate them, make them into statues, teach all of our children that only money and power matters and do whatever it takes to become just like them, in exchange for all humanity and dignity we could have had instead)
Unfortunately, you need to add this about all of us supporting them: "buying the cheapest product over buying the fairest produced", therefore comforting them exploiting labor to reduce the cost is what we collectively want.
9 am to 9 pm, 6 days a week.
He would cry so hard on Xitter if someone had an anti-musk party
I saw an article yesterday that the state of Berlin is trying to give away Goebbels villa for free because nobody wants to buy it and the upkeep is expensive.
My very first thought was that if Elon hears of this, he'll jump at the opportunity.
No shit. Wonder if his idiotic fan boyz take issue with this at all.
Probably just jealous they didn’t get invites.
This fucking guy has to be the best argument against African immigrants.
If the world was a just place that dinner party would have spontaneously combusted. Shit was a gathering of techno and corporate feudalists.
I thought it was going to be all the 'BiDeN JeNoSiDez' people from here. Even though they would have been turned away at the door. Well, they would have enjoyed it anyway.
