Elon Musk wants to DOGE Trump
- Thread starter Notch7

This is exactly Trumps character - always has been. I don’t think it’s fitting for any leader of a country, economy or business - but clearly millions of US citizens think otherwise.
You're about 8 years late with that blurb boyo, but well done you for finally getting it.
donald Trump says he is surprised and disappointed with Elon Musk over the messy public meltdown of their partnership. He also should be wary.
It’s Musk’s stratospheric popularity with the Republican base, as revealed in the polls.
Musk is not about to overtake Trump himself as the dominant figure in the party, to be clear. But the jilted former “special government employee” is uniquely suited to become a chaos agent who could terrorize the GOP — potentially wreaking havoc on Trump’s legislative agenda and the party’s midterm election plans. In the most recent Economist/YouGov Poll, 76 percent of Republicans viewed Musk favorably, compared to just 18 percent who viewed him unfavorably. A late April New York Times/Siena College poll placed his favorability rating among Republicans at 77 percent.
In part, that’s because the grassroots have been deep believers in Musk’s DOGE mission from the start. Nearly 90 percent of the party supports cutting the size of government. A similar share believes DOGE has been effective at cutting government spending, reports a recent Harvard-Harris poll. (Democrats and independents are far more skeptical of DOGE’s accomplishments, and of Musk himself. The Economist/YouGov poll reports just 15 percent of Democrats and 34 percent of independents view him favorably).

love that suit
Revoke Musck’s citizenship, simples
Apparently he broke immigration law when he first moved to the states. It would be in keeping to deport him.
But SpaceX is key to US spaceflight. ****ing Musk off too much is a dangerous game.
Having said that Trump could burn Tesla and SpaceX down to the ground, if he's willing to blame the damage on anyone else, and if we've seen anything we've seen Trump make big decisions without thinking about consequences.

You really are insane arn't you.
Trumpf’s probably a little worried about what he might do or say, but it won’t stop him going nuclear if he’s pis*ed off enough.
*snigger*
