Summary
Elon Musk, a Republican megadonor and close Trump ally, is reportedly set to have office space in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the West Wing.
Musk is expected to head the “Department of Government Efficiency,” aiming to reduce federal spending under Trump.
Critics question Musk’s influence, noting his frequent presence at key Trump meetings and events.
This move, if confirmed, would grant Musk continued access to Trump post-inauguration, sparking debate about the billionaire’s role in the administration despite holding no official government position.

Not that I would ever condone or encourage such abhorrent and inexcusable behaviour, but it would seem like if anyone in US politics is begging for a bullet, it’s Musk. Even more so than Trump or his cabinet of monstrosities. Musk is uniquely poised to catch a round in the dome. And it will probably be a MAGA lunatic that does it.
Is it just me or is Elon’s appearance taking on more and more the embodiment of a fart in human form?
I didn’t know how to word it, but this feels about right
Waitaminute… Isn’t he going into the tesla office every day? I thought employees couldn’t be productive without being in the office!
Oh man he’s gonna give so many more blowjobs than Melania
Jesus fucking Christ
What shape is that office?
Oval.
I would say they should block the gaming ports on the network, but Musk doesn’t really play games anyway.
The internet should trick him into playing a well know AAA brand game that only gets negative reviews from serious gamers, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Lord of the Rings: Gollum, Overwatch 2 etc.
Does it mean Mar-a-Lago is the new WH or the other way?
In related news JD Vance reported that he has opted for a room at the local Motel 6 for his accomodations…
since when does the dollar store motel chain have couches in their rooms?
Couches, chairs…he’s got eclectic tastes. Some people are saying.
Please don’t sleep on JD Vance. While Trump is selling out the constitution, he is the tip of the want-to-be authoritarian spear: Is There Something More Radical than MAGA? JD Vance Is Dreaming It.
Not even the bed bugs want to be associated with him
How to buy a government.
That door has been open a while, he’s just the biggest one and in the latest tradition the quiet part is being said out loud now. More validation of the real message of “Soylent Green”, where a society degrades to the point where even the most outrageous actions get at best a shrug from the apathetic public.
Surely they are playing with fire now, right? The French Revolution happened in part because the oligarchy became so brazen about things.
We will find out when these idiots start the second great depression. When 400 million people can’t eat shit gets real.
Will the space be oval?
Damn you for beating me to this.
6 months tops before they start clashing very publicly
That’s very generous. I give it 2 months.
Would be hilarious if Elon got fired, and then punished with a series of new laws.
I can dream 🥲
Bro, what the actual fuck?
This twerp must have some absolutely devastating dirt on Trumpy boy. I’m coming to the conclusion that there’s no other explanation. It can’t possibly just be money; Trump has tons of other rich donors. What I’m struggling to predict, though, is just what he could possibly have to hold over Trump’s head that’s worse than selling classified documents, misusing campaign funds, trying to incite an insurrection, or failing to pay his hookers.
It’s not like this. This is conspiratorial thinking.
These people are just … weirdos. This is how weirdos are friends: transactionally, with little common ground. Trump feels like he has something to offer a friend that friend, even though he’s richer, can’t.
It’s all fucking base and stupid and nowhere near the ideals we are supposed to aspire to as a nation.
They are both beholden to Putin, very likely afraid for their lives and rightfully so. Putin is a billionaire but he also has a state apparatus with global reach behind him that he is intimately familiar with. He has demonstrated repeatedly over the years that he is willing and able to use that apparatus to… make people fall out of windows, etc. And all of this doesn’t even consider the possibility of kompromat - these are all deeply bad people.
I believe Putin is the real mastermind behind everything that is going on and also that he has realized that Trump is of limited value to him in the White House. Trump’s cult gets him in, but he had four years already and really didn’t make a lot of inroads (not to mention his visibly declining health).
So in my opinion, this is Putin shuttling in someone who can be more useful to him. The canary in the coal mine for whether or not this is true will be to see if the infighting everyone is breathlessly predicting ever materializes. I predict it will not. Elon Musk will not end up like Anthony Scaramucci.
Musk…is a complete moron.
No
People were talking about a MAGA civil war. It will be over in a night if this is an indicator. Bannon is going to get such a long knife man. I assume, that is.
