Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

no chance Elan Munk would take a role requiring any sort of responsibility in group processes/protocols. he is way too aggressively stupid to have the capacity for it and would never even try to learn. nor would he accept some junior bodyman standing there whispering what he needs to do next.
the guy is way too egomaniacal to be in a room that has rules for when to talk and when to shut up. even reading his court transcripts made it obvious how much he resented being temporarily, narrowly subjected to a far more simple version.
He'd have to attend the state of the union too and just sit there for an hour, which is kinda funny to think about
He would absolutely bring a laptop and start playing Diablo.
this exact same sentiment is true about donald trump but that certainly hasn't stopped him.
This is why Donald Trump has never run for a legislative seat.
There's a big difference between chief executive, and legislator. One at least needs a passing familiarity with parliamentarian rules, motions, objections, that sort of nerd shit. The other needs to be able to make speeches, and act as a figurehead.
That being said, I fully support Elon Musk becoming speaker of the House. Watching him crash&burn will bring me so much joy.
being president of the US or of a company doesn't have group organizing protocols. one just can run their mouth and make pronouncements.
sure, but that's what that parliamentarian loser is there for anyway. it's not like the speaker is always a lawyer who's memorized robert's rules or whatever. but that's regardless of what i intend my broader point to be, which is while it's true he wouldn't like the role, he's also far too stupid to know that.
