Elon now has real political power to flex and as we know he is a dumbass extraordinaire. Now he’s come out railing against a stopgap funding bill that’s chock full of pork because that’s how you grease the skids

We are in for a rough four years

    I get that I might be off base but it’s still not clear to me why people think Elon has a ton of power now that he didn’t previously. Trump’s presidency doesn’t translate into Elon’s power because Trump already got what he wanted and has no loyalty whatsoever. I thought it seemed pretty likely that this relationship was doomed because neither personality is able to restrain their own damaging bullshit and stay focused on their goals so why would they work well together?

      Yeah people seem to forget that under the first Trump term, every other week there would be a new wormtongue sweet talking Trump into his or her idea of what to do, and then Trump would get bored or annoyed with them and move on to another advisor.

      The short answer is the chuds love him and so he can put pressure on reps with the bully pulpit

      Musk I think is happy to be a sycophant, he spends basically all his time on Twitter grovelling for attention, I don’t see him taking issue with playing second fiddle to trump. We will see

      yeah the dems are in full “FAFO” mode. they are absolutely giddy for this. apparently every one that posts about how happy they are for the “voters to get what they deserve” is fully insulated and independently wealthy.

      so yeah the party’s actual base.

      That’s just the thing, if America eats shit economically the way it really might, then I’m not sure the union remains intact by the end of the decade. Like, suburbanite grillman guys who have never had to even think about having to tighten their belt will suddenly not be about to get there jalapeno poppers at Applebee’s, or afford the gas to go to an NFL game… And that’s the same type of dude who’s built themselves a small armory in their basement. Trump comes in promising the world, but plummets the country into 3rd world levels of poverty - that ain’t going to end well for them.
