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.

It’s nice to know cracks are beginning to appear in his administration not even 10 days post-election. The more people opposing Trump the better for almost everyone. Even if it’s bastards opposing bastards.
They won’t oppose each other. They may not like each other at some point, but their goals are completely aligned, which is the fascist takeover of america by Corporate interests.
Oh they will. They’re both raging narcissists. Neither Trump or Elon gives two shits about corporate interests or anything else but their own comfort and ego, and they cant share a spotlight for long. I cannot wait for Trump to try to revoke Elons citizenship and have him deported.
McConnell already blocked Trump’s ally from becoming the senate majority leader. The new leader is someone who criticized Trump for Jan 6, among other things.
One can hope there is plenty more of that before they even get into office…
I approve this message.
That’s a bit of an exaggerated headline.
100%.
I agree with the assertion though. These are the two biggest egos in America, and there’s no way they get along for long.
Yeah, it was a light joke.
(nicknamed “DOGE”),
OMG naming the department (and firing people) is why he wanted this job…
Sounds like a kink. 🤷🏿♀️
Who could have foresaw that two narcissists in an alliance of convenience would soon tire of each other.?
Weird.
The enemy of my enemy
These people seemingly love to play cuck for one another, though. I mean, donvict likely did his DJ sesh thanks to hating Noem. He and “little” Marco have bagged on each other how much?
This was donvict saying this:
When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it.
So, donvict is implying that Elon would have blown donvict. We all know that is what he is saying here.
And Elon’s back for more of that, I guess? I guess he is just not rich enough already? Seriously, Elon could fuck off with his billions right now and never have to get involved in politics at all, and never have to “work” ever again (I doubt what he does would constitute what most would consider “work”, but…) but I guess he’s just as much of a narcissist as the rest of these assholes.
Oh that isn’t even a flyspeck on the window compared to the shit he does to his ‘allies’ when he needs a fallguy or simply gets tired of them. And something tells me Elon won’t be so accepting of his role as orange man’s personal doormat so this will be interesting to watch in a morbid way if nothing else.
