Somebody must keep forgetting to turn the microphone on.
Not as many have that distinctive orange glow, though…
Cabinet positions available for sale (not really new but still in vogue).
The felon told reporters earlier this week that there could be a job in the White House for Musk if Trump wins the U.S. election in 76 days, reports CNBC News. Trump said he would offer the Tesla and SpaceX CEO a role in his administration if he defeats Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election.
It would be really weird if Musk publicly accepts - Secretary of eugenics perhaps?
I did. A number of posts on this board.
I’d cite a couple, but I am on my phone and eating pizza - a slightly selfish way to deny you actual cites, but, pizza! Sorry.
Just trust me, the teeming millions did not buy into this particular stupidity, it is in one of the trump threads.
General in the Space Force?
I’m thinking NASA administrator - create the mother of all conflicts of interests.
And if he floats it as a pre-election trial balloon, with the implicit threat to ULA, perhaps he can get some campaign cash or stays at Trump-branded hotels from those guys. Win-win all around! (Well, except for the American public)
A subservient role where he has no direct budget control and has to grift the old fashioned way and only gets as much free publicity as his fuhrer allows him (lest he hog the spotlight)? Nah, he’ll make noises and back out if/when it ever becomes a remote possibility. Probably citing his “essential” day to day role at his companies or some such nonsense.
Just like he backed out of his pledge to donate tens of millions monthly to the campaign.
Yeah, I remember comments on this Board. But it’s not the savvy Teeming Millions I’m talking about.
I don’t recall comments from economists and pundits at large about the stupidity of assuming the targeted country paid tariffs.
I got an image of Putin’s dick coming in from the Right.
Sorry to put that into your heads.
Yep. To a narcissist, every syllable out of his own mouth is by definition Eternal Wisdom. So when handlers advise him not to talk about something, he literally cannot understand how his staying silent could be a good thing.
He is capable of being silent right up to the legal line. Taking the 5th hundreds of times; not testifying himself in various trials shows he can be brought to heel with sufficient and repeated blows about the head.
I find a certain irony that Trump is blasting electric cars, yet Musk is a pioneer in bringing electric cars to market in the US, and his car company is all electric.
I bet that didn’t come up during their love fest the other day.
Well, that’s because Trump is stupid, AND he is trying to squeeze money out of oil companies.
Absofreakinlutely.
‘It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.’
Well, yeah. The big car companies have seen the writing on the wall. Electric will save them, when they catch up. They are working on it.
These are actual, ya know, business people. Trump is good at conning and stiffing SMALL businesses, probably not gonna work with GM, Ford etal.
You tell 'em, John!
He also gave one to former Congressman Rep Devin Nunes.
And Orrin Hatch and Gym Jordan.
And Rush Fucking Limbaugh, for fucks sake.
I knew about Rush. And at that point it became worthless. Jim Jordan too? I would now consider it an insult.
