It's like he's scared to step outside the White House for some reason. He hasn't left the grounds since Trump moved in, right?

Beautiful.
All these right wingers talk big about a civil war because they think liberals and leftists in places like Oregon and Washington State don't own guns.
Uh, they're wrong.
Was this today? Damn.
Sortor said, “THIS is the result of Democrats and legacy media calling Elon Musk ‘HitIer.’ SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KlLLED.”
If that 'someone' is a nazi, I'm willing to look the other way.
Hahaha fuck that guy
More of this please! ❤️
Hitler is hiding in the bunker already? Damn they really are speed running this.
The correct answer to this:
Bro can't be bothered to show up for work? YOU'RE FIRED!
FIRE HIM. FIRE HIM. FIRE HIM.
Doesn't work a day in his life and his companies live on government subsidies! Deport him!
Thank you for coming to my ted talk on fighting the fascist.
I guess it's true that there is one illegal immigrant who is stealing all of our jobs
Man, the mixed signals on whether or not Musk is in charge of DOGE are giving me whiplash.
If it is still not clear, he is in charge of trump.
And this is no hyperbole. Musk is always next to him, in interviews, in oval office, with reporters dressed less formally than trump with a kid, he is clearly broadcasting who is the real boss and trump won't fire him, because musk is truly in control.
From what I gather, this is not unlike his method for taking over other businesses and them claiming them for himself and then aggrandizing himself as the inventor or founder or creator or chief engineer, or I'm sure the list goes on.
He uses his money to buy a spot on the board. If that's not enough, he uses more money to buy the Chairman of the Board seat. And then he dictates to the President/CEO what to do, or uses his power and leverage over them to force them to bend to his will or replaces them with an already-placed yes-man.
The already-placed yes-man is Vance. Vance is there because Peter Thiel paid for him to be there. He did that because Vance likes the Curtis Yarvin plan for a weird techno-fascist future with corporate fiefdoms instead of actual American democracy. Elon and Thiel go way back to Paypal together and have been drinking the Yarvin Koolaid for a while.
He's doing what he did to Paypal and Tesla to the US government and the Republicans are allowing it to happen while the corporate-aligned Democrats say "they can't just do that, there are rules" and "the people of America need to make their voices heard" and only a handful of Progressive voices are even allowed to take up any oxygen and say that we've lost our democracy to oligarchs. And between Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, RedNote, and whatever else, they've got captive audiences to funnel AI-driven and optimized right-wing messaging out constantly while also working ever so steadily at collectively hampering our population's opportunity to educate ourselves out of this mess.
It's truly scary, and also very sad, to watch from the inside.
This is a meeting to review and provide oversight for DOGE - he was never going to attend that.
That's the point, he is and he isn't at the same time. Classic propaganda rhetoric to confuse the public and to give him the benefit of the doubt
Yes that's the point. If you have no one to blame what else is there to do?
Exhaust yourself and start ignoring. It's all in their 2025 plan.
Man she is great
He was busy with laser ablation on his botched pee pee transplant 😬
