Summary
“He wants to be seen as having say in everything (even if he doesn’t),” one person in Trump’s orbit said.
Elon Musk’s growing influence in Donald Trump’s orbit is reportedly irritating members of the former president’s inner circle.
Since his efforts helped secure Trump’s reelection, Musk has been highly visible at Mar-a-Lago, taking credit for Trump’s victory and acting as if he’s a “co-president.”
Musk has joined key diplomatic calls and even attempted to broker peace with Iran.
Despite his appointment to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, some close to Trump feel Musk’s overreach and need for attention may jeopardize his position, as Trump dislikes sharing the spotlight.
All of the people swirling around in the sewage that is donvict’s thugs are probably pissing off each other, because all of them are Karens, FFS.
Even annoying AF people get annoyed by other annoying assholes…
I’m looking forward to 4 years of great and annoying articles like this
The only good part of the Trump regime will be watching them infight as we all go up in flames.
Are we going to see Trump Admin Churn before he even takes office!?
How many Scarumuccis will some of these douchebags last?
Money on we end up with a new time scale for shortest tenure by January 20th
You murricans and your weird units. In Europe, we use the lettuce!
Please fire him. Preferably into the sun, but I’ll accept simply out of any position in government.
Much easier and cheaper to fire him out rather than in. Orbital mechanics and all.
Sometimes you do it the hard way to send a message.
Eh, just aim him at the Tesla that went to space.
Trump doesn’t let people gain much power around him and neither Musk or Trump play well with others. Elon will be gone soon enough. I’ve got the popcorn for when the cat-fight starts. Should be fun.
Sure, but Elon is well aware that Diaper Donnie is getting worse every day, and he is trying to be favoured by the king before the royal snuffing.
What, the autistic tech bro doesn’t fit in with the conservative old pedophile club?
Just wait until one of their phones break or they need a printer set up, they’ll be begging him then.
Does he even know how to do that stuff? I got the impression he’s just a loudmouth dumbass who doesn’t know anything about anything. I know his fanbois think he’s some kind of UberEngineer, but…I have seen no evidence of that.
Trump said musk is ‘the best at computers’ so…
That knocks Barron down to #2
Him and others created Zip2 and PayPal before acquiring Tesla, but I guess you can argue he was a silver spoon baby playing stock games until he reached the top.
What role did he actually play at those places, I wonder?
Yeah how nobody could do anything without IT!
That’s not fair. Musk is also a member of the conservative old pedophile club.
Those kung fu lessons with ghislaine and the parties with Diddy must have had him buying a lot of horses for little girls.
Thats fair I guess but unlike the rest of them he isn’t in any legal battles over any of it, so it is all speculation just like the right does with the Clintons.
Let them beat each other to pulp even before January, and it won’t be a loss.
Elon Musk Is Pissing Off Everyone
ftfy
Why is his simile upside down
It reflects his miserable persona.
I had predicted this a while back, in that enabling Trump meant victory for the GOP, but the total erosion of Conservative values. This is clear in that any career politician will likely cede power to a bunch of nutjobs or meme lords with money.
They can either shut up and let Trump do his thing (lol), or they can dig their heels in and fight his decisions from within, grinding government to a halt (also lol). Either way, it’s a win for most, because in the long term the right will bail after Trump and leave a party so weak that it probably won’t be able to fight off the memory of Trump. He’ll never endorse a candidate that’s not himself, especially if the GOP blocks him. His rabid fan base will either die out, or go third-party because the GOP is “too woke” or something.

Look at this optimist still assuming there’s going to be another election and that a republican party actually matters. The supreme court has already ruled he can’t be held liable for anything he does while president if it’s an “official act” - if you think he won’t try “officially” ending the public choosing the next president, you might be in for a rude awakening.
Conservative values
I don’t think the dollar values in their accounts have eroded. Or where you meaning something else?
A lot of people favour less government intervention, fiscal responsibility, stronger laws, and strength in the free market. IMO at a base level this isn’t an inherently evil thing to believe/want.
Obviously, most politicians don’t represent this, but for those that do they find the current party doesn’t represent them. Eight years of Trump is probably enough to destroy many careers.
IMO at a base level this isn’t an inherently evil thing to believe/want.
Not evil, but misguided. All of these things are euphemisms for destroying (or not having in the first place) social safety nets, letting deregulated corporations run amok and replacing the rule of law with the rule of the richest. And most people who say they want these euphemisms don’t understand that, otherwise they wouldn’t want them. Because the consequences are objectively bad for at least 90% of people in any given country.
Btw, none of these things you mention are “conservative values”.

I have to stop reading the news here. I can feel the aneurysm growing in my head.
Non American here but is that not against the law? He is no official representative…
Likely, but who is going to do anything about it? My country is an embarrassment and proven that there are no laws for those under a certain status/value.
Yes, specifically the Logan Act.
I’m no american either so no idea. There are quite some things where I as a European can only think either “wtf, how is that legal?” or “wtf, that makes no sense”.
Especially that the president can apparently choose any people with any qualifications (or a complete lack thereof) for any position whatsoever. even if they are completely unsuitable or even completely contrary to the purpose of the position.
A modern democracy should have certain safeguards in place. Or at least some fucking standards and requirements.
As we have learned over the last few years, laws are only as strong as their enforcement mechanism. If the institutions responsible for upholding the law fail to do that, or even enable violating the law even more, then the law is useless.
The 3 branches of government that are supposed to serve as a system of checks and balances on each other have been overtaken by greed and fear.
Only reason that’s allowed is the Repuglican infatuation with the orange
Wouldn’t it be awesome if they had a big punch-up?
It would be nice if their future punchups doesn’t include us as potential collateral :')
It would be like some old celebrity and someone heavily involved in social media going at it
The more he acts up, the quicker trump will dump his ass. Fat Donnie is the dictator and wants all the attention, other people taking that away get dumped, bigly!
By Christmas the Department of Government Efficiency (they really should have used Excess for the E) will no longer be going to exist.
they really should have used Excess for the E
Holy shit, you’re so right, it would’ve made so much more sense! But do you really think they know hard words like this? I’d be utterly flabbergasted if trump had used the word “holistic” in a sentence that would’ve made sense, but that won’t happen.
Good let them eat each other.
Trump should just shit his pants every time Elon shows up.
What makes you think he doesn’t?
