"This is two men, two billionaires, one real and one self-professed, one of them an immigrant from South Africa, telling the United States Congress what to do about how it funds the government."

"After doubling down and calling the funding bill 'unacceptable' and 'a Democrat trap,' Trump called the richest man in the world, the one who paid $250 million to get him elected, and this is what he says he said to him: 'I told him that if he agrees with me, that he could put out a statement,' Trump said.

This seems like an unnecessary point to make, but I’m going to say it anyway:"

"Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has thrown her weight behind Senator Rand Paul’s ridiculous proposal that Elon Musk be elected the speaker of the House of Representatives. …

There’s scarcely a better illustration of Greene’s phony brand of populism than her support for installing the world’s richest man to, as she put it, reign in the people’s elected body."

"He later became a citizen. Who would have thought that someone who has railed against undocumented immigrants was perhaps one himself, and now could be speaker of the House … the world’s richest person, and answerable to absolutely no one?"

"Who exactly is calling the shots? It doesn’t sound like it’s the president-elect. It does sound like it is the richest man in the world, who paid an enormous amount of money to ride in Donald Trump’s sidecar. …

Several months ago, The Washington Post reported that Musk, who is originally from South Africa, was actually in the U.S. illegally for a time after dropping out of Stanford to start a business."

"To the extent that Musk has more power than Trump, it is because he can fund primary challengers against Republicans who do not surrender to Musk’s demands. Trump cannot make that threat credibly.

And the only reason that Musk has that power is because of the US Supreme Court’s decision in Citizen’s United."

"The oligarchs want lower taxes, which is what Trump, Musk, and other oligarchs are planning — an extension of the 2017 Trump tax cut, with an estimated price tag of at least $5 trillion.

They want no antitrust enforcement to puncture the power of their giant corporations. Instead, their corporations will grow larger, able to charge consumers even more."

"Trump has put Musk (and another billionaire, Vivek Ramaswamy) in charge of gutting government services in the name of 'efficiency.' Musk’s investors assume that Musk will eliminate the health, safety, labor, and environmental regulations that have limited the profits of Musk-owned corporations, and that Trump will put more government money into SpaceX and xAI (Musk’s artificial intelligence company)."

"Then, in 2024, he spent $277 million to get Trump elected, also using Twitter (now X) to amplify pro-Trump, anti-Harris messages.

These were good investments for Musk. Since Election Day, Musk’s fortune has increased by $170 billion. That’s because investors in Tesla and SpaceX have pushed their value into the stratosphere."

"So far, Trump has picked 13 billionaires for his administration. It’s the wealthiest in history, including the richest person in the world. They and Trump are part of the American oligarchy, even though Trump campaigned on being the 'voice' of the working class. …

In 2022, Elon Musk spent $44 billion to buy Twitter and turn it into his own personal political megaphone."

"This is not governing. Trump and the Republicans are not a governing party.

What’s the back story to all this? It’s the oligarchy that put Trump into the presidency. …

Today the great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy."

"Trump has brought #Musk into the central circle of power... He’s practically co-president. Musk is erratic, volatile, impulsive, mercurial. He introduces a huge source of unpredictability and chaos into the presidency that for once #Trump doesn’t control. See it clearly: Musk did this. Trump thrives on chaos, but his chaos. Not someone else’s chaos.

Trump is following. He’s trying to pretend otherwise but he’s following."

Text from article:
Trump has brought Musk into the central circle of power. He’s not only de facto Vice President. When was the last time you saw JD Vance? He’s practically co-president. Musk is erratic, volatile, impulsive, mercurial. He introduces a huge source of unpredictability and chaos into the presidency that for once Trump doesn’t control. See it clearly: Musk did this. Trump thrives on chaos, but his chaos. Not someone else’s chaos.

Trump is following. He’s trying to pretend otherwise but he’s following. And unlike all of Trump’s other bad hires or hires he gets tired of, he can’t just shitcan Musk like all the rest. Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollars. He’s got a bigger megaphone. And he’s got his own brand. I’m pretty sure there will eventually be a really big and really ugly falling out between the two of them. But it will take a while to get there and the costs are potentially quite large for both of them.

Trump has sewn himself into a sack with Elon Musk, a few billion dollars, a cat and a snake, and had the sack tossed into the Tiber. That’s the story here. And it will go on for a while.


Understand? Those 10s of Thousands unsold #Tesla-s you can see from space and #ElonMusk's X losses don't mean shit to him. Chump change compared to Military Contracts, home of cost overruns paid instantly on demand, price gouging, etc.

"#SpaceX currently holds $5.32 billion in contracts with the Department of Defense, including a $70 million deal with the #Pentagon in 2023."

„Reclaim the Web“ 2025 Edition
Mein Trend für 2025. 2024 war für mich bereits das Jahr der Autarkwerdung. 2025 wird die Welt weiter polarisieren. Sich Unabhängigkeit zu erkämpfen und direkte Beziehungen zu führen, ohne Oligarchen als Rausschmeißer, ist nicht nur für Geeks angepfiffen. Reclaim the Web 3.0 sozusagen. …

Authenticity unknown:
#ElonMusk is terrified. He KNOWS the ONLY REASON #CEOs exist is because we have no easy access to #guillotines.

"Elon Musk X
It has been brought to my attention that some Americans are actually cheering for the gunman ... and that they are saying this is a warning to all CEOs. What these people fail to understand is that without CEOs, the world would not be able to function," 🤣

"Elon Musk X @elonmusk-6h

It has been brought to my attention that some Americans are actually cheering for the gunman who killed UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson, and that they are saying this is a warning to all CEOs. What these people fail to understand is that without CEOs, the world would not be able to function, and as CEOs, we are responsible for the delicate balancing act of generating profits for shareholders while also ensuring that shareholders are able to maintain their own personal wealth even in spite of the typical corporate laziness and greed of middle-management and their staff. America will be destitute without us. #DOGE"

A bit late, but ok.

"The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) has announced that it will stop publishing content on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, from January 20th, 2025, when Donald Trump will officially become the 47th president of the United States.

The organisation stated that it can “no longer ethically participate in a social network that its owner has transformed into a machine of disinformation and propaganda”.
