Trump Tosses Elon Musk Under The Bus While Republicans Chuckle

On Wednesday, president-elect Donald Trump decided he’d let Twitter CEO Elon Musk know that he’s growing tired of his company, humiliating him in front of House Republicans during a conference.

Lawrence O’Donnell of MSNBC noted that Trump has a “twisted psyche” and has to “humiliate everyone around him to demonstrate his dominance over them.”

Trump told the GOP lawmakers, “Elon won’t go home. I can’t get rid of him.”

“Everyone laughed,” O’Donnell noted. “They laughed that uncomfortable laugh. But they laugh when Donald Trump makes a joke about someone on his team, a joke that everyone knows is true, a joke that paints that person as pathetic, as Donald Trump’s personal sense of superiority demands that he do.”

Earlier this week, Trump announced that Musk would be the co-head of a new agency tasked with cutting bureaucratic waste in government.

That too is a slap in the face to Musk, O’Donnell added, because it’s a “fake” job with no actual power.

In other words, O’Donnell concluded, Trump is now officially “Elon’s daddy.”

Historian: Elon Musk Will Soon Be ‘Casually Discarded’ By Egotistical Trump

Even though he donated untold millions of dollars to get Donald Trump elected for the second time, Twitter CEO Elon Musk is about to be unceremoniously thrown overboard by the incoming president, according to a historian, because Trump is not about to share the spotlight with anyone. His massive ego won’t him.

In an article published by the New York Times, David Nasaw predicts Musk’s shelflife as an influencer to the Trump administration will be brief.

“Mr. Trump may be mercurial, but in this situation he is highly unlikely to break historical precedent,” Nassaw notes. “I predict that you will probably join the long list of genius businessmen donors who were casually discarded after they had served their purpose.”

Another reason for Musk’s fading influence is that his promise of cutting trillions from the federal budget would cause an economic meltdown and likely throw the United States into a second Great Depression. That would be political suicide for Trump and the GOP.

“I’m not sure what you were thinking — or if you were thinking — when you clambered on that Madison Square Garden stage and claimed that as chief of the Department of Government Efficiency… you would cut at least $2 trillion of government spending,” Nasaw writes. “The results of such a gutting would, even conservative think-tank analysts predicted, be catastrophic. It is nearly impossible to imagine a majority of Republican lawmakers endorsing your plans to slash a third of all federal spending. To do so would be political suicide.”

So what exactly does Musk get out of his alliance with Trump? More money, of course, as Nasaw predicts his investments — especially Twitter/X — will increase in value, adding to his already massive fortune.

Then again, maybe that was Musk’s plan all along.

Ana Navarro Calls Elon Musk Trump’s ‘First Lady’ And Social Media Can’t Stop Laughing

CNN commentator Ana Navarro says Twitter CEO Elon Musk needs a new title after appearing in a family photo with Donald Trump and his family at Mar-a-Lago.

Navarro’s remarks came after host Anderson Cooper reported that Musk was on a phone call Trump made to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky this week, according to Mediaite.

“What do you make of him joining this call?” Anderson Cooper asked.

GOP strategist Scott Jennings replied, “That doesn’t surprise me at all. Of course, Donald Trump can put anyone on the phone that he wants. I mean, I assume a lot of these calls are congratulatory in nature. So, as further, more policy-driven calls take place, I would expect there to be other policy and administration officials or designated officials on the calls. But at some juncture, Trump won, and he’s got a cadre of advisers that’s obviously gonna include Elon Musk. And so, I don’t think anybody should be surprised by this or alarmed by it either way.”

Navarro agreed that the call was nothing odd but then referenced the photo that didn’t contain Melania Trump but did feature Musk.

“I think it’s a little weird, right? I mean, Elon Musk seems to be everywhere at all times. He’s like, secretary of everything, and at the same time, he’s like First Lady. The other day I saw this picture of him. It was a picture of Trump with his entire family except Melania, but Elon Musk was there. And now you hear about this. There’s obviously also conflicts of interest. This is somebody who has contracts with the Department of Defense. This is somebody who has Starlink that’s a big part of what’s going on in Ukraine.”

“I find it a little weird. But as Scott said, they won. He gets to do whatever he wants, and if he wants Elon everywhere, all the time, that’s what’s going to happen.”

Navarro’s comments set off a wave of laughter and mockery on Musk’s social media site, which continues to lose millions of dollars.

WATCH Elon Musk And Tucker Carlson Laugh At The Prospect Of Kamala Harris Being ‘Assassinated’

Twitter CEO Elon Musk and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson think it’s hilarious that Vice President Kamala Harris might be assassinated if she wins the 2024 election over failed former president Donald Trump.

Musk was a guest on Carlson’s online show, and he addressed the fact that he had made a “joke” about Harris being assassinated on Twitter which he posted last month.

“I made a joke which, I realize, I deleted, which is like no one is even bothering to try to kill Kamala because it’s pointless. What do you achieve? Nothing. Just find another puppet.”

Carlson: “It’s deep and true.”

To that, Musk replied, “Nobody’s trying to kill Joe Biden. That would be pointless.”

 “You actually put that up?” Carlson asked.

“People interpreted it as though I was calling for people to assassinate her, but I was like … doesn’t it seem strange that no one has even bothered to try?” Musk explained as he laughed. “Nobody tries to assassinate a puppet.”

As both men laughed, Carlson noted, “That’s hilarious.”

Know what would be funny? If the U.S. Secret Service paid a visit to Carlson and Musk and told them if they make one more joke about a presidential candidate being assassinated, they’ll be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law.

Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson are both pissants, and they need to be held to account for their willingness to spread hatred and ideas of murder. Yes, there’s a First Amendment, but even it has limits.

Elon Musk’s Mother Accused Of Committing A Federal Crime

Failed one-term former president Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, and was joined onstage by a surprise guest: Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who is supporting the disgraced ex-head of state so he can get more massive tax cuts and other perks if the Donald manages to win a second term in office.

Musk told rallygoers they needed to be sure and vote in November.

“Now, America is the home of the brave, and there’s no truer test than courage under fire … who do you want representing America? Yeah, absolutely. And I think this, this, this election, I think the most important election of our lifetime, this is — this is no ordinary election.”

Before taking the stage with Trump, Musk posted this on Twitter/X:

“Super important to get all your friends and family to register to vote,. Georgia’s registration deadline is Monday!!”

Musk’s mother, Maye, then decided she’d add her own two cent’s worth of mayhem, urging people to cheat if necessary to guarantee Trump wins.

“The Democrats have given us another option. You don’t have to register to vote. On Election Day, have 10 fake names, go to 10 polling booths and vote 10 times. That’s 100 votes, and it’s not illegal. Maybe we should work the system too.”

Did she just encourage people to commit voter fraud? That was the consensus online, with some people suggesting that Mrs. Musk should be referred to the FBI for investigation and prosecution.
