Republicans: Have a majority in the House
House spending bill: Fails to pass
How could Democrats do this??
Guarantee he hasn’t realized shit. In his mind, it was the best idea in the world when he had it, and now it’s the best idea in the world to walk it back. He’s so brilliant, he was right twice about the same thing.
Whoever wrote this headline hasn’t met a true narcissist.
Not only that but he tweeted something around 100 times that day. Someone got their "special medicine" and went on a bender confident they knew everything. And now they've come down and they're confident they still do but can't admit they were off their gourd for a day. Like a typical narcissist yes.
The guy has basically admitted takes K to not face personal accountability.
If that's true and he's not a full-blown sociopath with resistance to the impact of his actions, we just have to wait is for him to need to dose up so high he never leaves his k-hole and we can get back to never talking about him ever again.
It's pretty hard to OD on K, if not impossible in most cases. So not likely. I share your desire to stop hearing about this asshole though.
That’d be nice but seems unlikely
You basically have to deliberately try to OD on ketamine, and even then you're unlikely to be successful if you're snorting it, easier if you're injecting it. It was created to be a safer alternative to morphine
He's 2 steps ahead and we're just tripping over each other while wallowing through his feces trying to compete up
Corporate heads are virtually dictators by default.
No way Musk is used to people telling him no. Same as trump.
That's why a lot of them are also rapists.
🤯… I never thought of it that way.
I can guarantee the person who disliked must love the taste of salty tears and boot underside.
Trump is going to realize very quickly that musk is a massive liability and, worse than that is his mind, wants to run the show himself.
The fallout between the two of them will be fun to watch. I predict musk will find out very quickly that “his” people on Twitter are actually Trump people.
No shit. Turns out being the world's richest failson is not a super useful skill? Who knew?
I don't believe in heaven, but people like this make me hope hell is real.
The Great Nothing frightens them even more though.
In the grand history of the universe, they are already nothing. They just aren't smart enough to realize that.
They cling to the idea that they are gaining immortality via a legacy. Their legacy will mean nothing in a few turns l tend if thousands of years - probably much sooner. They will be forgotten, just like the rest of us. Time is the great equalizer. It's just a shame their shitty, greedy actions cause so much stress and misery to others in the mean time.
I'm surprised Musk (suspectedly) did shrooms and never got that.
Musk's inability to govern should have become apparent when he fired everyone at Twitter, scrambled to hire them back, and then got caught failing to do basic things like "pay rent".

Like when he did the same thing at spacex and Tesla?
Deport illegals, send his ass back where he came from
Though I don't like Musk, I think deporting all illegals would be damaging to our society and economy.
This is already starting out so well and they haven't even taken office. Have they started construction on the ceiling cutouts Elon will need to marionette the orange genius around with?
I wonder if Trump will scapegoat Elon for this and fire him before taking office to prove that he works alone.
Firing Elon would deflate Musk's stocks and net worth, maybe even knock him off the richest man slot. A lot of that wealth is speculative gains priced into the market under the assumption that Musk will be very influential in Trump 47, and that he will use that position to benefit his businesses.
Trump wants to send the message that he, as president of the united states, has the power to dethrone the world's richest man with a simple "you're fired". Trump wants to make sure that the world knows that he rules alone, and that he has more power than money can buy.
Trump doesn't need to get reelected again. He doesn't need Elon manipulating the twitter algo anymore. Donny already won and got everything he wanted from Elon (assumption). Why should he keep playing with Musk if he's just going to keep getting tied up in all this stupid drama?
Seems very Trump-like to knock him down a peg for his hubris and let him come crawling back in a year or two. I think most of the world agrees that someone needs to do something about Musk's ego. It would probably give him a popularity boost to start his new term.
disclaimer: this is a prediction, not a recommendation or an approval of these tactics.
EDIT: I was going to wait until after inauguration day for this, but considering the MAGA civil war... If this prediction resonated with you, and turned out wrong, you should reanalyze your understanding of the relationship between Musk and Trump.
Hundred per cent, Donny is using Elon and will throw him under the bus at the first chance. You know what looks worse than a normal loser? A billionaire loser
i selfishly approve and with limited cognition recommend these tactics
trump and elon are the two biggest divas on the planet and i hope the inevitable fallout between them hurts as many rich people (emotionally) as much as possible
too much fucking pride in this country. be ashamed for once, fuckers.
Next time I hear that government should be run like a business...
The response is easy...
"That's exactly what Musk thought"
Oh, did someone brief Musk in between ketamine hits?
Sure, if "to brief" is analogous with "to pants".
For Former Husband to Canadian Author Justine Musk to realize that they do not have the ability to realize that they can't govern would require self-reflection. Fairly sure, Estranged Father to Vivian Wilson does not have the ability to self-reflect.
What I don't get is why anyone in power (except maybe Captain Cheeto) actually bothers to listen to him in the first place. It's not like he has any actual authority. Congress is absolutely free to ignore him entirely, and they should
regardless of which side of the aisle they're on.
Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.
Because he’s paying off Trump’s legal debt is my best guess.
I could be wrong, but that’s my head canon at least.
He can use his money to support challengers in their next elections. He's already said he's going to do this to the Democrats. As we've seen with AIPAC recently, it doesn't take much money to unseat politicians. Musk has enough money to basically control congress.
I mean, I wonder if dipshit really did think he had a clue at some point? I think imposter syndrome really SHOULD be a thing with more people, especially this motherfucker right here.
Also - I just realized The Circus was cancelled. That seems awfully convenient. I'm supposing that Showtime is also another "liberal" outlet just chock full of "liberals"....
Shouldn't have run for President then. 🤷
He can't. He's an immigrant, and technically not even a legal one.
Deny. Defend. Deport.
I'm fucking mad about them cutting PBM reform and I hope other people are too.
Most people don’t even know what PBMs do, and how it fucks then over.
I can’t tell if this is satire or not.
I'm confused, why is he walking it back?
Because he cares about "looking like he was right the whole time", because he's a narcissist.
nooo, you were doing so well too!
/S
FAFO?
Running a private tyranny (or several of them) is much different than trying to govern (what is theoretically) a democracy.
