Where did Musk come from? I don't see any mention of it here

The Department of goverment efficiency was Musk's meme idea and Trump is apparently just rolling with it.

Thanks for actually explaining it instead of downvoting me. Heaven forbid I'm not aware of every micro-connotation caused by the current depressing news cycle

Musk will govern the DOGE department, won't he?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe. Apparently trump is already bored with him, and mocked him on-stage, in front of an entire room full of people, just a couple days ago. I guess trump already got his money, so now it's time to back-out of any agreements he made to get the money.

I think that's just Trump's insecurity acting up because Musk gets nearly as much worship from his fans as he does. Hence him trying to mar Musk's reputation and knock him down a few pegs.
