Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

It just occurred to me that Trump might be Ellen Pao-ing Musk. He knows the tariffs and mass layoffs and deportations are going to crash the economy. He needs a fall guy when it happens.
Do all your unpopular, disastrous policies with an unpopular person standing in front of you, then blame everything on that person and send them packing.
Occam's razor would suggest they are both just that stupid. He has even more scrutiny for doing the same kind of illegal things he was doing behind the scenes at Twitter. Now, he has to deal with unions and contracts.
100% this. They are both fucking power hungry morons.
Hanlon's razor, to be precise !
lol…for our fellow humans, yes, of course. for two with such history of malfeasance, no. They are both stupid, and acting in malice.
surely only his powdered koolaid snorting base would be bamboozled by this, right? right?!
As if Trump is smart enough to plan ahead something like that .. LOL
I picture him getting a frantic call from the McDonald’s CEO with each new headline, explaining to him how this new stupid thing may affect his ability to get his favorite food. Trump is then forced to concede and reverse his latest stupid idea so he can continue getting his fix.
Damn, it really says something about the demographic of Lemmy that nobody in your replies asked what this means.
(I also was on reddit ~10(?) years ago during this one particular controversy)
Who doesn't associate elon with donald though? They are like the more closely tied political duo in the world where every action is seen as one.
For Ellen Pao to work one of them would have had to remain relatively unknown and forgettable.
If anyone is going to benefit from the Ellen Pao it's people like peter thiel who are in the background while the loud duo is drawing all the attention and credit to themselves.
Vance is the 3 wheel in this weird throuple
Yeah he blew his opportunity to take advantage of the other two playing the role of Ellen Pao by removing all doubt that he is the same by ramping the vocal participation and drawing increased publicity.
Yeah he needed to play the moderate. Instead the dumbass yelled at Zelinsky and picked a fight with the pope over catholic theology.
i don't think trump knows this is the plan, but it is the plan. it's very convenient having a billionaire whose visa can be revoked
Supposedly he was naturalized in 2002. He's not here on a visa.
I mean, Trump now apparently can do whatever now, so I guess he could just deport him. But not legally or by revoking a visa.
More like other way around, musk has trump wrapped around his finger at the moment
