As if the billionaire megadonor doesn’t already have enough access to Donald Trump, Musk is reportedly poised to receive office space near the West Wing.

    Good, now he’ll have a nice quiet space to focus on his path of exile character.

      Do you think whoever actually plays his account will share the office?

      Or will they be allowed to WFH… lol

      Between that and Diablo 4 he needs a lot of time to work on getting good. Whoever is boosting his account is likely under a strict NDA, but Id love to hear their story.

      The us has been fucked for a long time. Only people who grew up in a supremely fucked place would allow what we see today. This is just the latest manifestation of fucked. Free Luigi!

    I don’t see why he needs his own office when he’ll be under Trump’s desk gargling saggy nuts most of the time.

        Regardless, I don’t think there’s need for a seperate office when they’re insatiably sucking each other off all the time.

        ETA: This is not a joke about them being gay or anything. They are just absolutely inseperable recently as if they’re joined at the hip or something and I swear it can’t just be purely professional. There’s other shit going on.

        That was the before Presidential powers go back to Trump dynamic. After the 20th, they’ll both be in a position where they could probably ruin the other, and I think the risk will be higher for Musk, especially because Trump doesn’t really need him anymore (he’ll have access to funds to keep him solvent) and has that presidential immunity to avoid consequences if a conflict escalates.

          You give him too much credit, he doesn’t have that much creativity. He would call it Doge-420-69, because that’s the only joke he knows.

      Frankly, if Musk were President instead of Trump, I’d be rather happier about this upcoming four years.

      He can’t be President absent amending the US Constitution, though, as he’d run afoul of the “natural-born citizen” requirement for the office.

        what’s stopping the office of the infallable, god-king POTUS from just ordering it changed? the last decade has proven that the institutions made to act as guardrails against autocracy, bend in the wind with enough pressure

          The President can’t amend the Constitution. In fact, the entire federal government’s only role – not talking just the Executive Branch, but also the Legislative and Judicial – is, in one of the two amendment routes, to propose the amendment. In the other, they have no involvement at all. The amending process is really a process done by the states.

            my point was less about it being changed at the snap of a finger and more about it just being flat out ignored, and everyone just going along with it because the alternative is “fight the fed / civil war”
