Trump Said to Be Weighing White House Advisory Role for Elon Musk
(www.thedailybeast.com)
Reminder:
This photo doesn't even look real lol, Elon looks like he's photoshopped in
That can’t be real
It’s real, July 12 2022 on truth social. I would post the link but I don’t want to give that site more traffic. Here’s a screenshot.
Thanks! And holy cow!
Post the link to the archive.org mirror obvi
Good call, didn’t cross my mind for some reason. Will do that in the future, thanks!
Holy fuck he really wants people to suck umm up to him. What is it, he really needs to feel powerfull?
He's trying to have Elon Musk endorse him instead of Kennedy because he knows he needs every single billionaire bootlicking and/or conspiracy theorist voter he can get.
He knows Musk is still pissed at Biden for snubbing him.
Trump said he would ban ev sales so idk
Trump says whatever he feels that at the moment would get a positive reaction from the audience at the time with zero regards to consistency or truth.
At the moment of saying that, he wanted to gain Musk's support.
Musk is pretty much fucking Tesla into failure at this point, so he’d just have a convenient excuse for its fairies if the sentient cowlick banned EVs.
Edit: that was supposed to be failure, is it just me, or it’s autocorrect getting worse?
a convenient excuse for its fairies
No, no... Tesla's have gremlins, not fairies
They warned you not to charge them after dark.
Yes, architect is betting much worse
LOL
He just licenses an engine from GM, then put that into the Teslas. Maybe even rename the company to Otto.

I mean, I really wanna hear musks opinion on this…..
Because trump has promised to kill electric vehicle sales……so like, musk is going to support that?
Trump would probably just say he only meant Chinese electric cars or something.
No, it just means that Elon gets a big government paycheck due to the government forcing him to close his 10 Trillion dollar business (Trump math)
He's made several statements that Tesla is a AI company. So after the mocking he got for the Cybertruck he maybe he want to pivot Tesla into... I dunno making Grok sound like more of a smug douchebag or something? I mean it's fairly common knowledge that he's on a lot of drugs, so who knows what he's thinking?
How in the hell do I get off this timeline? Can someone find Prof. Maximilian Arturo and Quinn Mallory please?!
Hey, maybe the next leap will be the leap home?
Can't leave until we fix this one. Quantum Leap rules.
I've been rewatching quantum leap lately and it has me wondering what would happen if Sam failed to save the day. His missions were time sensitive, so once a given event would have passed without Sam fixing it, would he have been stuck in that place and time forever?
If so, would his lifespan be his age/body or that of the person he leaped into?

I think we can all agree that what the world really needs right now is more utter fuckwits in charge of everything.
seems like that dystopia ain't done fleshing itself out just yet
He was his advisor in the first term. But he did quit, I guess the orange fuck was too much even for this asshole.
It's not that, it's more that two raging narcissists can't occupy the same space at the same time.
You end up with a kind of NPD supercriticality.
Two body problem.
I would resubscribe to netflix to watch a show where the two of them try to solve problems together.
All the top dipshits in one convenient location
Just what we need, more billionaires in charge.
He's just trying to grow his base. I think if you were looking to Musk for your guiding light on voting, you were probably already voting Trump.
Honestly if a Trump presidency did happen, I have no idea where this will stand.

But it'll probably be on the BUILD THAT WALL level of promise.
If you ever needed more evidence that Mush is dumber than shit, here it is. After Trump's constant backstabbing of his allies, one of the richest men in the world immediately scrabbles up to lick the boot. Surely it will work out this time!
I'm already against Trump, you don't have to insist.
Is this why musk seems to have put on a few pounds?
Quid pro quo, of course.
