Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I don’t believe anything what this Administration says.
Elon has control of nearly all government systems including the Treasury. How does Trump and company think this will go when they finally come to heads?
Hint: Trump will lose. Badly.
A shy guy who desperately wants to be a nerd's nerd somehow gets tangled with the party of RAM truck buying adult frat bros who see themselves as "alpha". I just can't figure out the culture fit, and articles like this don't surprise me at all. Like, isn't Trump the kind of guy who would endlessly bully someone for saying they play videogames at all?
There are two main types of "conservative" now. The old school big truck lovin', god-fearin', beer guzzling, anti-environmentalist yeehaw types, and the "newer" 4chan-posting, edgelording, neckbearded, gamergatin', crypto-lovin' internet troll types that have arose in the last twenty-five years with the proliferation of the Internet. Elon is trying to fit in with the latter.
"newer" 4chan-posting, edgelording,
You mean asmongold grandpa?
^ This. Never forget, Trump's first term was pushed to success by 4 chan. He is and always has been a 4chan president. He is the emolbodiement of everything /b/
Musk is so poor all he has is money.
He thought having more money would make him powerful and therefore likable, and he’s in the FA stage.
If he decided to do something like solve world hunger instead of buying Twitter a lot of people would begrudgingly give him some respect at least.

I'm a killjoy: I doubt that this article is accurate, or if it even matters. I think articles like this exist to placate. I wouldn't trust anything that a "senior administration official" tells Rolling Stone.
Absolutely, these looks like a pat on the back to everyone to make them feel better about Elon and their country.
Reeks of bullshit.
I’m a bit confused, cause Trump isn’t funny. It must be awful to be in a room with either of them.
Trump is funny to conservatives. The kind who laugh at the attack helicopter joke. Elon isn’t even funny to conservatives, which is kind of impressive.
Trump is best viewed as an insult comic
They are definitely NOT "tired" of his money though.
Not to mention the constant k-hole he seems to be in
I was sick of this guy at least back in 2022, and I don't work with the guy. Reading about his douchebaggery in his takeover of xitter was more than enough to flip the bozo bit on this guy.
I choose to see the good in Elon; he may have finally made the cheese hat too cringe to wear.
As a wisconsinite this deeply upsets me
Your culture is wrong, I'm sorry
You don't like cheese?
Cheese is food not fashion!
¿Porque no los dos?
From what I've read, this is kinda how he ran off the founders of Tesla.
Maybe that's his plan. Government takeover by cringe.
"behavior has caused several high-ranking officials to walk out of important meetings and sincerely question if he was high on drugs"
Bet you dollars to donuts that he is, so, yes.
People are leaking to get Musk kicked out. Imagine how ill-behaved one must be to get kicked out of that room.

All world-historical personages happen twice; first as Rasputin, then as Musk.
We can only hope they all end the same way twice.
Rasputin had a huge dick whereas Musk is a huge dick. Math checks out.
Who's the Russian Queen now?
numerous people claim to have witnessed him use LSD, cocaine, Ecstasy, and mushrooms behind closed doors
It's amazing that he can do LSD, mushrooms, and ex and still have zero empathy.
Ifs hes combining it with ketamine, cocaine and alcohol, it makes sense
I wish we could dispel the myth that psychedelics make you peaceful and empathetic. In my experience and in my friend group they seem to make you be 100x what you already are. If you’re empathetic you become an empathy monster, if you’re analytical you start breaking things down, if you’re an annoying asshole you’re someone who should be kicked out of the room because that times 1000 is too much.

The richest man in the world isn't trying to help you. He's helping himself to whatever he wants. Super bad idea.
