Trump Threatens to Launch DOGE Investigation Into Elon Musk, Send Billionaire ‘Back Home to South Africa’
Trump Threatens to Launch DOGE Investigation Into Elon Musk, Send Billionaire ‘Back Home to South Africa’
This is exactly the outcome I expected. Let the war begin!
But did you expect it this fast?
I actually expected it a while ago. These two together are like a natural gas leak at a petroleum service station and someone lit a match. They can't get along, they are both psychos with HUUUUGE egos. BOOM!
I'll believe it when it happens.
He's trying a shit attempt to distract people from the policies of trying to kill 258,000,000 Americans.
People are making jokes but this is extremely dark and psychotic.
If he will even just make threats to white, male, billionaire who publicly supported him and funded him, then hopefully its a wake up call to the other billionaires. May be then they can start paying the DNC and the R Supreme Court judges who like free holidays to actually do something about Trump.
I would be extremely surprised if Trump actually follows through with any of this, but Musk is more than capable of escalating the situation like last time to the point Trump has to follow through.
As a naturalized citizen this is horrific. If he gets kicked out anyone can.
You didn't read the article.
Trump is saying if he takes away Elon's subsidies, Elon would be forced to pack up and go home.
Not that he would physically deport him.
It's a misleading title
What, you thought it would only happen to the poor brown people?
The SCOTUS already announced he could take citizenship away from ANYONE. Literally ANYONE, even people born here. The horrific part has already come to pass, my friend.
They're already trying to build their own personal index of recognized citizens that the president has full control over.
I was saying that Musk needs to be investigated, have his assets seized by the government and deported for months now and everyone has been upvoting it. So now its dark and psychotic because Trump is saying it?
As a general rule:
When any person who has shown by actions in the past that they are reasonable thinking, kind and generally have the true greater good in mind, a statement carries along this assessment background.
The exact same statement words delivered by a person with a history of nasty, cruel, uneducated, evil and erratic behavior gives very same words, it carries a very different notion woth it.
Exact same words, very different annotations.
I don't know you, so you can't be placed, but trump can clearly be placed.
Its always been dark and psychotic.
The context of who does a thing and how they'd be likely to do it matters; a surgeon cutting into someone with a scalpel can help heal them, but an untrained idiot with the same scalpel is likely to make the situation even worse than if the surgery hadn't even been tried.
Though I don't agree with the deportation bit, I view unwilling deportation as cruel, and taking his obscene pile of wealth away would also remove most of his ability to negatively effect society anyway (and if it didn't, then him being physically in a different country probably wouldn't help much either, or else would be pushing the problem onto them instead of solving it.)
... it continues to be all bluster. I swear we're gonna get reports on the absolute nothing stories of these two talking shit until the end of time. God I wish I could somehow filter out these posts until something actually happens
You could just unsub from all the political communities and manually check the news once a day. I do this from time to time when it gets to be too much for me
I want politics in my feed, though, just specifically not these two doing nothing! I have no idea how a filter like that would even be implemented (other than people just not posting them, lol) but I mean mahgawd.
Like, I thought about trying to filter out certain bluster-y keywords like "threatens, blasts, tweets, on X" but there are a lot of situations where even a statement can have consequences. I wanna know when minorities get blamed for insane bullshit again, or when nuclear war gets threatened again, or when someone is calling for peace talks again. Tariffs getting delayed for the 80th time is still gonna affect how things are getting priced.
But this nonsense where Trump say Musk bad, Musk say Trump bad, while neither of them have taken any actions against each other? No funding cuts to Musk companies, no investigations, no arrests. No specific opposition candidates being funded (if this even happens it'll still be a Republican), no DOGE backpedaling, no changes to Twitter, no re-banning Trump. just fucking god why who the fuck cares about any of the shit theyve said about each other over the last, what? 3 weeks???
An interesting application feature idea; filter profiles? Where filters, blocks, subscriptions, etc. are a set/group that can be toggled. You could make a separate account, I suppose. But there's also some likely overhead to consider.
He threatened to primary anyone who votes for the big bill. If that isn't bullshit the bill will develop far more problems this week
it IS bullshit. nothing has happened. everything they say is bullshit until they actually do it. reporting on their bullshit has always been bad, but the last few weeks of this ""feud"" in particular have been a special blend of it
He made very similar threats a few weeks ago and then almost immediately backed down when he realized that literally none of them were taking his side.
Using his own meme named department
Only the best people.
I'm hoping that Musk makes a deal with someone to expose election interference as a pardon or prevention from deportation
How would that work? The President is the only one who can issue pardons, I thought.
For federal crimes. Governors can pardon people for state charges. Elections are run by the individual state governments, so interference is generally a state-level crime. This is why Trump hasn't pardoned himself for his own interference convictions, because the violations were of state law in New York.
Well if Musk comes out and admits that he helped rig the election them technically the president isn't the president eh? Plus informants make deals all of the time, I don't see how this is different
lol what is this from
New Order "True Faith"
Hardest fucking song ever
Lol.
I thought Musk was going to get more for his money before the inevitable breakup. But hey, we're talking about two dipshit loser man-children. So I guess this is all on schedule.
Something about living and dying* by the sword.
DO IT!
So it's 3-4 days until this "on again off again" is on again. They may be back together after the 4th of July weekend.
What about those other white south african businessmen he recently "saved".
YES! YES! YYEEESSSS!
Okay soooo, how did he get that black eye? Was he thrown out of government after the orange drifter sensed competition?
Do it you fucking Chicken
TACO
You mean TACO
