… and increasingly view the billionaire as a political liability, a dynamic that was thrown into stark relief Tuesday when a conservative judge Musk vocally supported lost his bid for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat by 10 points.
Will the real suckers and losers, please stand up?
Will the real suckers and losers, please stand up?
Or at least would the real suckers and losers please shut up? They’re always the loudest and dumbest in any space, and it’s as if they stopped talking for even a second, they might actually have a critical thought (and that terrifies them).
Honestly, I hope Musk throws a temper tantrum and just starts leaking shit like crazy. He’s unstable and unhinged enough that I wouldn’t put it past him, especially since he basically paid for this election.
Yeah, I hope that plays out too, and it’s never out of the question with how unhinged and drugged up Musk is, but unfortunately I think this is less Musk stepping back for real and more of a bullshit PR move to get some of the heat off of Trump and Elon both -
The president remains pleased with Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency initiative, but both men have decided in recent days that it will soon be time for Musk to return to his businesses and take on a supporting role, according to three Trump insiders who were granted anonymity to describe the evolving relationship.
…
One senior administration official said Musk is likely to retain an informal role as an adviser and continue to be an occasional face around the White House grounds. Another cautioned that anyone who thinks Musk is going to disappear entirely from Trump’s orbit is “fooling themselves.”
The transition, the insiders said, is likely to correspond to the end of Musk’s time as a “special government employee,” a special status that temporarily exempts him from some ethics and conflict-of-interest rules. That 130-day period is expected to expire in late May or early June.
Maybe we can convince Musk that we’d all find him really cool and based if he did that
Musk will not be able to handle losing the spotlight
Here’s hoping they can find all the backdoors that Big Balls or whatever put into all the government software to funnel money or accelerate the collapse or whatever if/when sane people once again are in control.
Leave soon … to Mars hopefully?
Alllllll the way down the K-hole
Or the center of the sun.
Just chuck him in a dumpster, where he can rot with all the dignity he deserves.
It takes ~55 times more energy to go to the Sun than to Mars. Let’s not expend resources carelessly.
I think it would be alright to let Musk get 7 gravity assists from Venus.
LEO with a bad reentry is fine.
Even with a bad exit TBF
I don’t even want his charred remains here.
Certain re-entry trajectories will burn everything into atomic gases. It’s how some satellites are decommissioned. Just plunge that pod directly into the atmosphere instead of a proper re-entry angle and poof no more nazi billionaire.
I don’t know; my wrestling coach used to say “you’re never useless; you can always bad a bad example.” So, personally I think putting his charred corpse on display could serve as an effective deterrent on oligarchs that are considering meddling in politics, especially if Musk was loaded into the doomed capsule against his will by a coalition of the proletariat.
Note: I am not advocating for violence. I’m just saying that hypothetically, if Musk was executed by low earth reentry, others might think twice about trying to buy government influence.

It’s not careless, even if we launched him on an escape trajectory there’s a chance he’ll come back. Deorbiting him into the sun is the safest option.
This is an excellent point.
On his own rocket
I’d be glad to:
Pack his bags tonight preflight…
Zero hour, 9 AM
MFW Musk steps back, but Project 2025 continues as planned.
That’s what I’m expecting. They aren’t going to fix what Musk broke and they are going ahead with tarrifs, which wasn’t Musk led.
I’m guessing that DOGE will also continue cutting funding left and right without Musk at the helm. Nothing changes with him stepping back.
Will you go with him? Please go with him.
LOL. Schmusk will be happy to hear that.
So what?
I will still do what needs to be done. I simply won’t stop until he lost everything.
Yeah. He also said he’s “mad at Putin” this week as well.
The pressure is working keep it up
Not shocking, although it was quicker than I expected. I was thinking more towards the end of the year once he got everything he wanted, but I think he is taking too much heat even for his comfort.
The only enjoyable part is knowing that the people can make it bad enough that they will leave.
Historically speaking, stealing Trump’s spotlight for 3 months is actually a contender for the record.
“Leave” from public view. That is all people on the right ask of Musk. They are okay with his interference and interventions. He just makes himself too much of a target by being publicly visible.
You can’t be the shadow government when you’re exposed to sunlight. Then again, the brain behind the entire operation never stepped out of the shadows and will remain there. Peter Thiel.
It should be common knowledge that Thiel wrote the actual manual for all of this shit as far back as 2009. The Education of a Libertarian, ironically enough. He really believes in his own bullshit, too.
Like how bannon left?
Like how Epstine left?
I don’t think we’ll be so lucky.
Elon thinking leaving now will change public opinion of him.
Nah bro, I wouldn’t even piss on you if you were somehow on fire.
Hm… Is his mouth open? I could be convinced to shart in his general direction.
If he were on fire I’d love to fan the flames. What a story for my grandkids that would be.
Are they finally deporting that filthy African Nazi swine back to Africa? Please let it be that he’s being deported back. Fuck Musk 🖕
It’s downright shocking that a man that rich doesn’t know a fall guy when he sees one.
That would require not being blinded by his own ego.
Which one are you talking about here?
I assumed we were talking about Musk.
