Elon is that one guy who invited himself to the party and won't leave even when all the other guests have left.

Just days after the Kremlin spanked donny too
The cycle of abuse. Putin, Trump, and Elon are just one dysfunctional family.
It's nice to know cracks are beginning to appear in his administration not even 10 days post-election. The more people opposing Trump the better for almost everyone. Even if it's bastards opposing bastards.
They won't oppose each other. They may not like each other at some point, but their goals are completely aligned, which is the fascist takeover of america by Corporate interests.
McConnell already blocked Trump's ally from becoming the senate majority leader. The new leader is someone who criticized Trump for Jan 6, among other things.
Right, but Trump isn't president yet. If he can throw enough people under the bus before January 20th... lol
He's starting the dictator playbook too early. Biden is literally offering to hand him power, all he hast to do is wait and not do anything stupid.
One can hope there is plenty more of that before they even get into office...
I approve this message.
Sounds like a kink. 🤷🏿♀️
He's fucking your wife, turd. That's why he won't go away.
Holy hell that's disturbing.
Oh, that would be hilarious to watch, especially if they both sick their fanbase at each other.
Like, watching the consequences... Right?
Not the actual fucking. Right?
No kinkshaming!
It’s not kinkshaming to have no interest in watching a plastic Barbie convertible fuck a Cybertruck.
I would sooooo love that. I would think all the fanbois of the broligarchy would not know quite what to do. They worship donvict and all of his thugs; if Elon and donvict turn on each other and get really nasty, it will be like Mommy and Daddy getting divorced! Who will they choose to live with?
That would be funny, but is she even at mar-a-lardo? I would think she'd be several states away, banging her tennis instructor or whatever.
I'm not sure either Must or Trump can get it up at this point. It explains their constant need for attention and validation.
(nicknamed "DOGE"),
OMG naming the department (and firing people) is why he wanted this job...
co-lead
The department of government efficiency
This joke writes itself...
Look, they don't give a damn about actually following their own philosophies so let's drop the tired gotchas. They don't give a flying fuck about the gotchas.
We are really letting the right wing dictate the nature of reality with bullshit takes like this.
That you need one single leader to solve it all is a conservative position. That you need many people working together is a leftist position.
When you try to hit them with this gotcha you're actually affirming their beliefs in singular strongmen and are normalizing it for the left.
Cooperation shouldn't be vilified. Cooperation isn't a joke.
The real jokes to them are the American people, particularly the average, lower-middle class, the lower class and especially the poor.
We are just simply watching them clown around actively at everything at the expense and mercy. Pretending that they're upstanding. Pretending they care. Pretending they're even there for those who vote for them. But all of this kind of shit is, is just playground bullshitting between an old fart in power and an undeserved rich man.
Everything is apparently a fucking meme now.
Keep up the gotchas, just pair them with emphasis on how weak and ineffectual they are. Both are required. One is insufficient.
Oh hey, someone with a brain! I was beginning to think non-morons on the internet were a thing of the past.
Department Of Government Efficiency. DOGE
The name itself is a fucking joke about Elons pet Cryptocoin.
The most annoying thing is that in most acronyms two letter words are usually ignored. Thusly it would be DGE but musk is a brain dead Saxon African deserving of little more than a shotgun enema, so why should I expect any ammount of intelligence.
Elon can get fucked. Doge doesn't belong to him.
Do only good everyday....fuck musk and trump
Assistant TO the Government Efficiency Director
Best case scenario for the country would be that these egomaniacs trip over themselves before they can accomplish too much harm.
That’s a bit of an exaggerated headline.
100%.
I agree with the assertion though. These are the two biggest egos in America, and there's no way they get along for long.
Yeah can we not do this again? We don't need a news article any time Trump blinks. Like, there's plenty of bad and crazy shit he's doing as-is, no need to mountain all the molehills.
This is part of the reason the "90% of stuff you hear about Trump is bullshit" narrative currently being pushed by right-wing social media is working so well.
Yeah, it was a light joke.
Sounds pretty humiliating to me. Fuck both of them
Who could have foresaw that two narcissists in an alliance of convenience would soon tire of each other.?
Weird.
These people seemingly love to play cuck for one another, though. I mean, donvict likely did his DJ sesh thanks to hating Noem. He and "little" Marco have bagged on each other how much?
This was donvict saying this:
When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it.
So, donvict is implying that Elon would have blown donvict. We all know that is what he is saying here.
And Elon's back for more of that, I guess? I guess he is just not rich enough already? Seriously, Elon could fuck off with his billions right now and never have to get involved in politics at all, and never have to "work" ever again (I doubt what he does would constitute what most would consider "work", but...) but I guess he's just as much of a narcissist as the rest of these assholes.
Oh that isn't even a flyspeck on the window compared to the shit he does to his 'allies' when he needs a fallguy or simply gets tired of them. And something tells me Elon won't be so accepting of his role as orange man's personal doormat so this will be interesting to watch in a morbid way if nothing else.
He’s into it.
