Lock him up!

[–] prototact@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is part of the tactic "have the cake and it eat too". He did his government tour to gain favor with Trump but damaged his brand, and now is just providing friendly opposition to capture the MAGA crowd that does not like the debt ceiling going up while trying to repair his image. It also aligns with the general chaotic energy that floods the news with meaningless drivel that occupies working memory of adults.

Basically just herding the sheep.

Don't forget him managing to completely destroy federal government as well. That was his main goal in the first place.

[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Specifically, the parts of the federal government with any power over any of his interests. He pretty transparently removed any government oversight of his finances and SpaceX, Tesla, Twitter, etc, and by amazing magical coincidence that was the very moment all the "inefficiency" had been purged and so now he is free to go back to all his hobbies unbothered by those pesky regulators that were giving him grief.

Just deport this fuck already? Its not like his ass pays taxes anyways?

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’m tired of seeing his fucked up facial expressions everywhere I look too. Who smiles upside down?

That's probably a side effect of some of his gender-affirming care...probably his chin job.

AMABs getting plastic surgery or hormonal treatment to appear more "masculine" are receiving gender-affirming care.

Same can be said for AFABs getting plastic surgery or hormonal treatment to be more feminine. They get way more though....permanent makeup, laser hair removal, eyebrow threading...all gender affirming care.

immigrants can get rejected if they fail a drug test

give him a drug test and deport his ass

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago

Doing the Yoda drugs he is.

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Ugg, not soon enough.

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's trying to turn face. Don't fall for it.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh thank you, i was just about to like him

[–] capital_sniff@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't fall for Musk's good looks, charming personality, or his well dressed presentation you have to remember he helped elect the current administration then did a bunch of naughty stuff to our federal institutions.

I don’t really care what this buttplug has to say.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He may be right, but so is Elon himself.

Takes one to know one

[–] BMW_stick@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Didn't anyone explain to this moron that frumpy uses people and then tosses them aside when they're either no longer useful or they become a threat. He's lucky he has enough money to hold off frumpy's no-doubt-incoming frivolous lawsuits.

[–] Kickforce@lemmy.wtf 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They both do, it's what narcism does.

If there was one funny thing Trump could do was weaponize the doj against Musk and get his companies seized in civil forfeiture. It certainly would be a win for the US, so he is not going to.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm taking bets on when Turnip will announce at some point that Muskrat is a .... 'nasty person, very nasty person'

[–] Bonifratz@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

I give it less than a mooch. Probably the next time Trump has to take a very large dump in the middle of the night.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 days ago

Better be carefull Apartheit boy, or Nasty Donny is taking your government money away.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago

Nice try Leon.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

This is like a fucking reality TV drama at this point.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 7 points 2 days ago

Damn, the worst people in the country are beefing. If he wasn't rich, he'd probably get sent to El Salvador. He'd deserve it too.

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I dont think its realistic but if his Nazi ass does a 180 just to get back at Dolan and uses his power against fascism that would actually be a minor win during these times of world destruction. We should consider sharpening the guillotine for him to finish it in 1 strike.

[–] RedditAdminsSuckIt@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

These guys remind me of 3rd graders having a recess spat.

“You lied about doge!”

“Nuh uh”

“Yeah huh”

“Well your bill is a bad”

“Nuh uh”

“Yeah huh”

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

"I'm rubber, you're glue! Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you!"

Why am I suddenly reminded of Reddit (and some people here)?
