Keep focusing on Musk.

Trump will lose his shit that he's not the one in the spot light.

Trump will throw him out.

    Musk is forgetting one of the most important rules of fascism. You can't become god emperor while the previous god emperor is still alive.

    What is it about this timeline that makes you think we're lucky?

    Biden still being the actual president during this is entirely lost.

    For real, Biden should tell him to sit down Young Muskifucker. But he's probably just gonna let it slide as a sneak preview.

    Biden is the oligarchies old guy. He ain't gonna do shit, just like he hasn't done shit as fascism seized power. Trump/MAGA/Musk is the oligarchies NEW guy. The oligarchy IS fascism.

    We are literally living in some dystopian film. Xelon is the evil that we all need to defeat.

    We need a better nickname than Xelon. He needs to be referred to as setting way dumber than that

    He has an obsession with the letter "X", so that's why I started calling him Xelon. It's Xelon Xusk if we're being formal. We need to Space X him out to Mars as soon as possible.

    The general media narrative: the qons all voted for "populism", because of "economic anxiety".

    Meanwhile, we are watching two billionaires having a hissy over who's going to be the boss in January....Clearly, these two have the concerns of the "forgotten man" foremost in their thoughts and actions.... 🙄

    Any normal President wouldn't threaten Congress in this way. He's acting as Supreme Ruler right now.

    Okay the madnes of Trump's second term will cause untold suffering, but it sure will be interesting to watch.

    Nobody can stop this train. You may as well learn to laugh at the absurdity of it all.

    I'll laugh when I wake up and realize my being in America right now was just a bad dream and actually I had moved many years prior to a nice little bungalow on the southern coast of Spain where I have a well-established vineyard and a little garden and coincidentally have become fluent in Spanish. I will laugh with particular enthusiasm over the news of the chaos in America just before settling in for my siesta, after which I'll make off-color jokes with my neighbors over a glass or two of homemade sherry about when we can expect Trump to meet with an unfortunate accident involving a window.

    That's when I'll laugh.

    I literally changed my voter registration because this election made me remember my address and party affiliation are public record in my state.

    Same. I'll never register Dem again unless there's a progressive primary candidate.

    You have to register which party you are going to vote?! Really?

    You have to register which party you are going to vote?! Really?

    You must live in a civilized country.

    You can say no preference or independent. One purpose of party affiliation is to determine which primaries you get to vote in. So if you are a Democrat you can't vote in a Republican primary. But of course you can switch any time.

    The entire system is designed to ensure that only the two establishment parties can win elections.

    President Musk must have great leverage over office assistant Trump to last this long.

    Being reported as Onion-level satire, however (despite the click-bait headline), American Prospect has a solid history and track record.

    The article doesn't show any evidence of Musk 'declaring himself President', and he didn't (and can't) shut down the government either.

    What the fuck is this headline?
