  • I might be totally off, but I don't think Trump can get rid of Musk so easily. Unlike the other people he's fired, he has alot of financial debt to Musk.

    They might not get along, but ultimately they will present a united front. The alternative I see is Musk fucks off to Germany or Britain to cozy with right wing parties there, though Europe is kind of fucked economically so that's probably unlikely

    • Yeah it comes down to Trump's increasing grip on state power (which could go any direction, from placing loyalists into a gutted executive or collapsing it all) vs. Elon's wealth and MIC and media connections.

      Technically trump could leverage state power to do anything to Elon but it will of course piss off the bourgeois. So this may just be a "kept at arms legnth" for months or maybe a year before one of them starts mouthing off publically. More likely Elon. But it really comes down to brainrotted senile brain vs drugrotted impulse brain i think. may the best

      win!!!

      • I think Musk has made enough of an ass of himself on an interpersonal level that the other top capitalists don't like him and would be okay with the state crushing him, as long as it was for petty individual reasons instead of a political philosophy that threatens them.

        I guess he's popular with the sort of smaller capitalists who own boat dealerships. I don't know how much power they have though.

  • There is not a single shred of dignity anywhere in this entire sordid system. It's just the "Ice cop hat fuck show" meltdown all the way down
