    This will actually work. Theyre both megalomaniacs with fragile egos, putting him in Trumps shadow making it look like he’s being used by Trump will drive him crazy

      it’s the other way around. mangolini cannot share the spotlight and is already annoyed that elon is always up his ass trying to be co-president. elon however is a massive cuck bitch so he’ll probably be regularly humiliated by him and not do anything about it.

        I remembered this and googled it. In my mind there was a video, but man. It’s been a crazy 8 years.

        “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 rocket ships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless,” the ever-gracious Trump wrote in 2022, “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…”

    I’m gonna force myself to watch a crappy Stephen King movie because of this. I’ll raise a glass to anyone that can get under the skin of this dumb chump.

    Lose one (1) election:

    “Actually, misgendering is an excellent idea. Also we’re removing the pronouns from our bios.”

        Context matters here. I think the joke is that this gender-swapped picture would really piss off Elon Musk in particular because he’s so openly and proudly transphobic.

          Its not a misgendering. It is a mocking of his reverence to trump and cozying up ahead of the swear-in ceremony. If it pisses him off… it’s his own transphobia to blame. We’re just encouraging him if he’s an egg.

            If the point isn’t to misgender him, then call him first gentleman. First lady is misgendering him. It feels justified and extra effective because of his transphobia. But it isn’t about misogyny.

        Maybe, although I personally don’t get that at all. Then again I’m not exactly a misogynist and do enjoy drag… Maybe I do want to see Elon in legit* drag after all. And I do mean something legit–not the diarrhea of frat bro tropes he’d inevitably lean into.

        Can we get a fanfic going about Elon’s secret drag performance addiction instead of ketamine? I’d probably read it, but I’d also be glad it exists.
