Summary
During a meeting with House Republicans, President-elect Donald Trump publicly mocked Elon Musk, saying, “Elon won’t go home. I can’t get rid of him,” as Musk has spent extensive time with Trump recently.
The comments were seen as an assertion of Trump’s dominance, with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell noting the uncomfortable laughter from the room.
Musk has been tapped to co-lead the new “Department of Government Efficiency” (nicknamed “DOGE”), a role critics describe as superficial.
Observers predict Trump and Musk’s alliance may sour due to their clashing egos.
The real jokes to them are the American people, particularly the average, lower-middle class, the lower class and especially the poor.
We are just simply watching them clown around actively at everything at the expense and mercy. Pretending that they’re upstanding. Pretending they care. Pretending they’re even there for those who vote for them. But all of this kind of shit is, is just playground bullshitting between an old fart in power and an undeserved rich man.
Everything is apparently a fucking meme now.
