Rumors have been swirling that Elon Musk may donate $100 million to Nigel Farage’s right-wing Reform UK party - in a small scoop, I report that Musk has also just incorporated X .AI London Ltd, showing he is 'reaching across the pond' on multiple fronts, my latest:

"Amid rhetoric of “America First,” Musk and others will actually use their power to hurt everyday Americans (through cuts, shutdowns, higher drug prices, etc.), while advancing private and their own interests that have nothing to do with (or actually counter) American interests."

“President-elect Donald Trump had dinner Wednesday with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (who owns The Washington Post) at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, and the two were joined by billionaire Elon Musk, a Trump transition team spokesperson confirmed.”

"Welp. This is what the voters chose. Perhaps it’s time for them to find out that elections carry consequences, and bad choices can lead to very bad outcomes."

Greg Sargent talks with Paul Waldman, co-author of White Rural Rage, about how the Trump-Musk show is demonstrating that MAGA voters have gotten badly scammed by Trump. The get the culture-war goodies Trump doles out to them, but nothing else — and with Musk running the show, what it's clear they will probably now get is cuts in government programs they rely on to make ends meet.

Hate's satisfying, but you can't eat it.

Twitter is, indeed, for the birds: dodos, cuckoos, turkeys, buzzards, vultures, et al. In spite of what its logo may suggest, there are no quaint bluebirds anywhere to be found in that nihilistic narcissist’s nest.

But the rich wouldn't be rich if they weren't smarter, better, harder-working than the common lot, right?

Especially rich men, who know how to get things done and don't give a flying f—k about the rules.

That's why I voted for Trump, as a working-class man. He knows how to break things, break rules, get things done. He'll help people like me even if he gives big tax cuts to the super-rich.

Amirite?

"The sheer immorality of any one person possessing so much wealth is obvious to most people with basic amounts of empathy. But when it comes to Musk and the other 14 people worth more than $100bn, the morality of it is almost a secondary concern. Their individual wealth is a society-distorting threat to democracy in the same way that economics has always recognised monopolies to be dangerous to a functional market."

"The real story here is that Trump has lost control of the process at what should be his moment of maximum power. As far as I can tell Musk himself didn’t even express an opinion on the vote for the clean up. He’s off to something else. Or he was only there for blowing things up. Putting them back together is someone else’s problem."

"The entire ordeal serves as a preview of what Americans should expect from their government for at least the next two years: A pathetic and ineffective legislature will limp along, waiting every moment for its next command from the president and his rich friends."

"If this is the way Donald Trump and Elon Musk plan on running the government of the United States starting on January 20, then we won’t have a democracy. What we will have is some hybrid of a dictatorship and plutocracy, whereby the elected representatives of the people forfeit their powers and duties to the whims of two people: one who gives the orders, and the other who pays the money that will ensure his orders are carried out."

"This has never before happened in this country. We have never, since our founding nearly 250 years ago, had a situation whereby two men who do not hold elective office are telling those who have been elected what to do, and threatening to oust them from their elected positions in the Congress in two years if they do not follow orders."

"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."
