Summary
Elon Musk, a Republican megadonor and close Trump ally, is reportedly set to have office space in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the West Wing.
Musk is expected to head the “Department of Government Efficiency,” aiming to reduce federal spending under Trump.
Critics question Musk’s influence, noting his frequent presence at key Trump meetings and events.
This move, if confirmed, would grant Musk continued access to Trump post-inauguration, sparking debate about the billionaire’s role in the administration despite holding no official government position.
Oligarchy.
We’re no better than Russia.
By design.
We lost the cold war folks.
The cold war was against the Soviets. We’re losing to fascists.
Which is much worse (imo)

Agree 100%
The biggest reason we (the USA) are losing to fascists is because half of Americans are fascists, whether they realize it or not. And it’s been that way for a hundred years (and they were proto fascists, aka Confederates, before that)
Waitaminute… Isn’t he going into the tesla office every day? I thought employees couldn’t be productive without being in the office!
Not that I would ever condone or encourage such abhorrent and inexcusable behaviour, but it would seem like if anyone in US politics is begging for a bullet, it’s Musk. Even more so than Trump or his cabinet of monstrosities. Musk is uniquely poised to catch a round in the dome. And it will probably be a MAGA lunatic that does it.
Musk is a bigger problem for the world as a whole than Trump is. So yeah, I still don’t get why it hasn’t happened yet.
I would hope so. He’s the president.
Let me know when they name an aircraft carrier after him.
Is it just me or is Elon’s appearance taking on more and more the embodiment of a fart in human form?
I didn’t know how to word it, but this feels about right
Next door to the Russian and Chinese oligarch offices.
The most likely, so he could give them a blowjob from time to time.
Will the space be oval?
Damn you for beating me to this.
This twerp must have some absolutely devastating dirt on Trumpy boy. I’m coming to the conclusion that there’s no other explanation. It can’t possibly just be money; Trump has tons of other rich donors. What I’m struggling to predict, though, is just what he could possibly have to hold over Trump’s head that’s worse than selling classified documents, misusing campaign funds, trying to incite an insurrection, or failing to pay his hookers.
They are both beholden to Putin, very likely afraid for their lives and rightfully so. Putin is a billionaire but he also has a state apparatus with global reach behind him that he is intimately familiar with. He has demonstrated repeatedly over the years that he is willing and able to use that apparatus to… make people fall out of windows, etc. And all of this doesn’t even consider the possibility of kompromat - these are all deeply bad people.
I believe Putin is the real mastermind behind everything that is going on and also that he has realized that Trump is of limited value to him in the White House. Trump’s cult gets him in, but he had four years already and really didn’t make a lot of inroads (not to mention his visibly declining health).
So in my opinion, this is Putin shuttling in someone who can be more useful to him. The canary in the coal mine for whether or not this is true will be to see if the infighting everyone is breathlessly predicting ever materializes. I predict it will not. Elon Musk will not end up like Anthony Scaramucci.
Musk is giving him far more money than other donors.
Jesus fucking Christ
6 months tops before they start clashing very publicly
That’s very generous. I give it 2 months.
Dystopian implications aside, I wanna see how long it takes for everyone to be absolutely sick of him. He’s already insufferable when he’s not even in the room.
It’s not like you couldn’t say the same thing about Donald Trump. Yet here we are.
I’m talking more about the other people in the Whitehouse. I’ve had my fair share of obnoxious and insufferable coworkers that I’ve been forced to interact with on a daily basis.
Bro, what the actual fuck?

This is a good thing. Familiarity breeds contempt. A middle school spat between these two prissy boys is imminent.
I would say they should block the gaming ports on the network, but Musk doesn’t really play games anyway.
