Please let them be too busy fighting amongst themselves these next four years they just are unable to get anything destructive done.
I am 100% in favor of teenage drama derailing their efforts to remove bodily autonomy from women.
That's the plan. But while the government is ineffective, big businesses will have free reign to fuck us over.
True...but big business still needs us to buy their products, so we are of some use to them

I can't really see 2 egos of that size coexisting. I'm terrified of being wrong about that in this case though
Did you see Don's face when Elon was doing his jumping shit? Don's already sick of him, and only keeping him around because he's worth so much.
My coping fantasy plays off of their arrogance. Imagine it. On the day of Trump’s inauguration, he admits that climate change is real and shouts, “good luck, suckers,” as he and Musk board a SpaceX rocket bound for Mars.
A guy can dream. lol
And it explodes on the launchpad?
I like to imagine them running out of oxygen and food on Mars after weeks of nonstop arguing, expelling their final, hateful words at each other.
Either way, it’s like having a warm cup of tea under a blanket while I wait out the storm that is my mind.

Trump’s longstanding advisers, who view Musk as overly assertive and self-promoting.
Sounds like "trumps longstanding advisors" are worried they did all this work to get trump in power to use him are seeing musk come in and begin to use trump instead of them.
Pretty much. His advisors have quietly expressed "concern" to the media about a lot of things, and they go nowhere.
Every once in a while, it does. Laura Loomer seems to have been forgotten. That might just be Trump getting bored with sleeping with her, though.
He'll have them sign something saying they were never advisors at all and he was there from the start.
Honestly, once Trump gets sworn in, I assume the people around him who want to implement Project 2025 won't have any more use for him. That's why Vance is there, just look at his track record, he knows how to play ball.

Let the infighting begin! Trump hires the worst people and creates a toxic "vie for the king's attention" atmosphere.
I wonder how many mooches he'll last.

Now thats a mutually assured destruction scenario I'd be in favor of.

Oh please let Trump's first dictatorial move be to strip Elon of his wealth. We're all going to suffer some shit but let at least one oligarch stuffer too
It can start by denaturalizing him since he lied on his immigration forms and was in the country illegally when he first came here. That's not even dictatorial, it's the letter of the law.
"First they came for the Oligarchs and I did not speak out - because I was not an Oligarch, and really because wage inequality is the core problem facing our society so coming for the Oligarchs seemed like a pretty good idea to me."

who view Musk as overly assertive and self-promoting
... that's one way to put it.
The only redeeming feature of this whole sorry mess will be watching those hyaenas constantly tearing each other apart.
He’s an accelerationist. He knows the death of America is coming and wants to be sitting pretty, real close to the top when it happens; so he can use his money to become king.
Which is several layers of stupid, seriously most of the time when empires collapse the ones in power are either remains of the old bureaucracy or warlords. The rich are usually a non factor unless they already fit into one of the previous two situations. None of the billionaires have enough hard power to pull that off in the long term.

It's funny... I said that when Trump dies it will be total chaos because all these people hate each other and they will all work as hard as possible to tear each other apart since Trump is the only thing that unites them.
Maybe we won't have to wait for Trump to die.
I hope we don't have to wait for the dorito to die. I just hope it happens within the next 4 years.
Trump has a habit of burning everyone close to him the second it is either (A) useful to him or (B) they are no longer unswerving loyal to their fuhrer. Musk is a dumbshit nepobaby who can't shut the fuck up and steals credit for everything he's near that he didn't ruin. It's only a matter of time before Trump burns Musk, and all I can ask for is that it completely ruins them both.

The billionaire cosplayer feels inadequate next to the actual billionaire
Looks like we'll be bringing back Mooches as a measure of political tenure soon.

I'm pretty sure a little over half of the conservatives hate Musk just as much as the left does. He painted himself as a victory factor when in reality he's just a liability. Conservatives don't like the reminder that Trump got less votes this time that in 2020, and I like to say Elon is why.
Elon almost certainly earned votes for Trump by
- Funding a shit ton of election ads
- Using Twitter to push propaganda
I begrudgingly have to concede and acknowledge that you are correct. That being said, he still did so indirectly as his name and ugly fucking face weren't attached to those.
Elon Musk is a once in a generation business leader
That's not a compliment, that's a prerequisite to becoming everything Musk currently is. If "a generation" of people had been afforded even one percent of the privilege he's received, Musk would've been outshined by more competent people long ago.
One can only hope.
lol trying to fuck with the federal reserve. that didn't take long
I suspect Musk's welcome is as long as his chequebook. I think trump sees the $, if his "advisors" are offering him less $ I doubt Trump cars to listen.
The only issue might be if any of it could be proven to be criminal bribery - that seems unlikely though.
Trump is literally and figuratively immune against any prosecution. He raped children, stole and killed millions.
I am no American, but at this point I think he could produce and distribute CP right in the oval office and nothing would happen. And that is the one thing next to murder, he didn't already commit publicly.
Elon Musk = Trump's Rasputin?
They deserve each other.
