Mike Johnson fragte Elon Musk, ob er Sprecher des Repräsentantenhauses werden möchte

Elon Musk doesn’t want to work, full stop. He wants to  get in front of microphones and tell you he works harder than anyone and then get in his private jet and take a 3 hour nap. 

This is how fascism starts. People making “jokes”. People saying what they want to do and then when they get backlash they say “I obviously didn’t mean it”

It’s not like in the movies where the bad guys take the government by force. It’s more subtle, slow, and done with an air of legal legitimacy. 

You better start reading up on fascist dictatorships, because in 4 weeks you will be in one. 

The clowns are running the circus.

Elon Musk’s ketamine dealer has one hell of an opportunity to change the world for the better. 

Like, sarcastically right?

The Republican party has basically one guy still in congress that can whip together a majority in Thune. The house has been absolute chaos ever since McCarthy got the boot. Johnson is giving up, because he knows he won’t deliver anything with a 3 seat majority. It’s too difficult for him to try and whip together a majority to get anything major passed. Johnson clearly said this out of frustration, as he had worked on this spending bill for months, only for Musk to come in and blow it up, giving Democrats the upper hand to demand more out of the bill. And Johnson is right. SOTH is genuinely one of the hardest jobs out there, because you have to get 218 people to all agree to something, and if even 1 breaks, your bill is dead. Johnson just doesn’t have the political chops to get this job done the way Pelosi, McCarthy, or McConnel did.

He may be testing the waters, but it’s more likely a lowkey jab at Musk’s propensity for throwing his weight around as a political influencer and then stepping aside when chaos ensues because he has no idea how government works.

The “America First” crowd sure does love submitting to foreign white men.

TIL the President can also act as the Speaker.

It’s official. America is for sale.

The Washington Post alleges that in 1995, Musk was admitted to Stanford University’s graduate school but didn’t enroll in classes. He instead used the student visa to stay in the U.S. and work on what would eventually become Zip2, Musk’s online business directory. The Post also alleges that in 1996, investors made a funding agreement contingent on Musk obtaining permission to work in the U.S. within 45 days. Zip2 board member Derek Proudian told the newspaper that Musk’s immigration status was “not what it should be.”

Law and order right? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Charge musk with immigration violations, seize his assets, and deport him immediately.

LOL

Being really rich doesn’t make you clever – as [Elon Musk has so adeptly shown](https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/elon-musk-tesla-spacex-420-a8483291.html), Musk suffers from extreme Hubris or is it the Dunning Kreuger Effect at play?

**Watch out America the phantom breaking genius is a clear and present danger**

He’s a make-a-wish kid who’s got his grubby, candy-sticky mouth directly over the fire hose of public money that could put out the myriad fires created by the state shrinking Reagan and Thatcher projects of the 1980s. He’s slurping from the chocolate river, but unlike Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’s Augustus Gloop who falls in and is sucked away, Musk just gets fatter and fatter as we all wait, poised for a splash in the water that never comes.

Elon Musk was not born – but became – a Dumb Guy, when he was lauded as humanity’s saviour, the STEM-lord genius, and a dab hand at memes to boot. We rewarded him so much for the singularity and purpose of his incredibly stupid mission that it has begun to drive him insane

He does things like set his company an impossible target for the Model 3 – hitting it by sacrificing his workers’ wellbeing – and then releasing the car with brake failures. Because it’s all about him

**Phantom breaking**

Why would Elon take a demotion from President to Speaker of the House?!

Because it’s all Biden’s fault in the eyes of maga. I’m in Texas 30 year GOP control. They still blame democrats for the things they need fixed.

can we please get rid of these of the crazy fuckin congressman please? This is INSANE

It would interfere with his global grift.

Can someone be both president and speaker of the house?

Every alarm bell is ringing in America right now, and I’ll never forgive the elected officials or Americans who not only refuse to respond, but are encouraging or otherwise bending under this national emergency.

I don’t think you can be president and speaker of the house at the same time.

Why should he settle for SotH, when he is already the effective President-elect?

Being Speaker of The House requires a modicum of negotiation skill.

Elon Musk is from the “My way or the highway” school” of management and the GOP majority for the ’25 and ’26 sessions is razor thin. More troubling is how quickly the current Speaker Johnson offered his job to Musk.

Honestly we should encourage them to try this. All you need is a majority of the present votes to win so let some idiots try to get Elon in and end up with Hakeem Jefferies as the speaker as republicans cannibalize themselves
