      I’m not *speachless*, but am at a loss for *words.* is that the same thing?!?

      so every time they call out Soros, remind them of President Musk.

      I thought they’d have gone with Grand Vizier, or Major-Domo, or… what was Grima Wormtounge again?

      Jesus Christ. Our Republican politicians are so incredibly cheap to buy

      All they want, all they EVER want, is his cash.

      The problem is they *think* he’ll just hand over his cash.

      Musk…isn’t that way. Musk is remarkably self-centered. His spending is very deliberate to self interests, meaning…the cash that does flow will come at significant costs, and it will be at a trickle.

      Republicans certainly do enjoy kissing the … let’s say “ring” … of their über-rich benefactors.

      King Donald the First has appointed Elon Musk as his Prime Minister, That would mean JD Vance is the Royal Jester..

      – They root for a president that has an immigrant as wife that doesn’t talk their language (or at least in a non-butchered way) and is the literal definition of a trophy wife (i.e. adds no value to the country)

      – They root for a president that himself is the product of (unlawful?) immigration

      – They root for a south-african immigrant to dicate policy, while decrying all immigrants

      I just can’t comprehend the hypocrisy

      Trump’s already pissing people off before getting sworn in.

      Is it possible to wear out your welcome before you even walk in the door?

    19. Anwhut on

      So republican’s just admitted that Elon is the president.

      I guess vice president trump is actually his official title, all things considered.

      Funny being we aren’t a parliament system and he isn’t elected in any way. Prime “Minister” requires being a minister to begin with.

    21. Ok_Radio_8540 on

      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.

      He can go in the first round of mass deportations

    22. Argented on

      So, Elon is the Prime Minister of the USA and Donald is Musk’s apprentice?

    23. FanDry5374 on

      So trump is the head of state, the diplomatic face, while Musk runs the government? That should make Donny Boy feel all better.

    24. CurrentlyLucid on

      trump is afraid to walk down steps at a big maga thing…how will he deal with the plane steps?

    25. icouldusemorecoffee on

      Ironically on my feed, immediately above this post, was [Team Trump pushes back on ‘President Musk’ talk amid spending bill negotiations The billionaire is flexing his influence over the Republican Party — and Team Trump is irked by all the attention he’s getting.](https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1hjpl3t/team_trump_pushes_back_on_president_musk_talk/). The infighting amongst all the GOP between wanting to support Musk so they can get some of his cash during elections and Trump who above all else seeks attention and not responsibility is going to be fun to watch. Hopefully it tears apart more than just the Trump/Musk footsie playing that’s going on.

      The Speakership is the US analogue to the Premiership in the Westminster model, just as the Senate is the analogue to the House of Lords. All this to say that we already have something similar to a PM, and that we don’t need an unelected rich person to usurp that role.

    30. AnotherDude1 on

      This country fucking sucks. Not only is this happening, but it’s happening right in front of everybody. They’re not even hiding it. And NOTHING is being done. Whatever happened to checks and balances? You can’t call yourself a patriot if you support this fuckery

    31. we_are_sex_bobomb on

      So we now have a king and a prime minister, I guess chopping down all the forests is the next step on our path to becoming imperial Britain.

    32. we_are_sex_bobomb on

      >Thank god Elon Musk bought Twitter, because that’s the only way we would even know what’s in this bill.

      Except as a member of Congress, that’s like, you know, *your fucking job*.

    33. janzeera on

      This guy sure has a lot of time on his hands. Sort of a “jack of all trades”, master of none.

    36. CranberrySchnapps on

      Sort of feels like republicans are lining up to love bomb Elon lately.

    37. Ramaen on

      I am going to say for now, i bet in 4 years trump will have thrown him under the bus like the rest

    38. poorbill on

      At what point does Elon just invite all of Congress and rent an entire cruise ship to let them tour the world for free? We all know it’s fine when the Supreme Court does it.

    39. Elrundir on

      >”Thank god Elon Musk bought Twitter, because that’s the only way we would even know what’s in this bill,” Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) said of Musk’s efforts to kill the bipartisan bill on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

      I–

      “thanks for the tip boss”
      Republicans are happy he bought the presidency and they think they will get some change for it. So was american democracy just a publicity stunt, to sell power to the highest bidder?

    42. throwaway1601900 on

      They have no choice. Chancellor Elon paid $277M and bought Republicans and Trumpworld.

    43. New-Ad-9629 on

      This is probably the most brazen “capitalist” govt of any country, ever!
