Summary
Elon Musk, a Republican megadonor and close Trump ally, is reportedly set to have office space in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the West Wing.
Musk is expected to head the “Department of Government Efficiency,” aiming to reduce federal spending under Trump.
Critics question Musk’s influence, noting his frequent presence at key Trump meetings and events.
This move, if confirmed, would grant Musk continued access to Trump post-inauguration, sparking debate about the billionaire’s role in the administration despite holding no official government position.
Every president in the White House needs a dog eh?
Yup, that’s why Trump is there.
Oligarchy.
We’re no better than Russia.
By design.
We lost the cold war folks.
The cold war was against the Soviets. We’re losing to fascists.
Which is much worse (imo)
Waitaminute… Isn’t he going into the tesla office every day? I thought employees couldn’t be productive without being in the office!
Come on, there’s the press releases and public relations and then there’s reality.
The reality is that businesses want employees to leave so they can avoid paying severance and because the banks will give them preferential rates for utilizing office space, keeping commercial properties artificially inflated despite major changes in the perception and reality about how work can be performed.
It’s easy to downsize at very large companies, it just piles on more work for those that remain. During booming times like most tech companies had in the pandemic they hired like gangbusters at the behest of middle management, now it’s austerity time so they can focus on massive profits while corporate taxes are at an excessive temporary low.
woosh
Aw, he’s moved his lover in.
Of course the real President should have offices in the White House!
I cannot wait until the Orange Idiot gets sick of him and Musk suddenly becomes a Democrat.
The upcoming fight will be a bit more final. Maybe. Musk must have bought the Russian Kompromat on Trump, but at some point Trump won’t care, and Elon will likely end up in Gitmo.
Not that I would ever condone or encourage such abhorrent and inexcusable behaviour, but it would seem like if anyone in US politics is begging for a bullet, it’s Musk. Even more so than Trump or his cabinet of monstrosities. Musk is uniquely poised to catch a round in the dome. And it will probably be a MAGA lunatic that does it.
Musk is a bigger problem for the world as a whole than Trump is. So yeah, I still don’t get why it hasn’t happened yet.
Let me guess, he wanted “that to sink in” ? 😂
Next door to the Russian and Chinese oligarch offices.
The most likely, so he could give them a blowjob from time to time.
Is it just me or is Elon’s appearance taking on more and more the embodiment of a fart in human form?
I didn’t know how to word it, but this feels about right
Set? Office Space? OH! So he’s going to reenact the movie !
Nah, he’s just going to cosplay Kevin Malone.
My question is why does Trump feel beholden to him now? It’s not like he needs to win another election. Something else is going on here.
Trump likes and wants money?
Elon bought the piss tapes.
How to buy a government.
That door has been open a while, he’s just the biggest one and in the latest tradition the quiet part is being said out loud now. More validation of the real message of “Soylent Green”, where a society degrades to the point where even the most outrageous actions get at best a shrug from the apathetic public.
Surely they are playing with fire now, right? The French Revolution happened in part because the oligarchy became so brazen about things.
We will find out when these idiots start the second great depression. When 400 million people can’t eat shit gets real.
This is a good thing. Familiarity breeds contempt. A middle school spat between these two prissy boys is imminent.
People were talking about a MAGA civil war. It will be over in a night if this is an indicator. Bannon is going to get such a long knife man. I assume, that is.
