return2ozmaElon Musk reportedly set to have office space in the White House complex
KorkkiRussia has oligarchs. The west has successful entrepreneurs.
Is it the oval one?
talFrankly, 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.
WesDym@tal There's reason to suspect that Elmo isn't even a legal immigrant.
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”
Who do you think is the bottom in this relationship?
American citizens, they’re all fucked.
Introducing the S.P.I.T.R.O.A.S.T. Act…
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.
Single-Person Identity Tokens Regulating Online Activity for Social Tradition. Along with a SSN, each American citizen will be assigned a unique token to verify their identity on the internet in accordance with the DANK Act (Digital Activities Need Knowledge).
CruxifuxGood, 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
He’ll rent out an office space an hours drive from them and make them do it there.
An hour? Musk must be feeling generous.
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.
Wanna bet he is going to do remote “work”?
as expected, i can’t imagine how consort trump will run it without the president ceo.
L3ft_F13ld!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.
I think you have it backwards. All Trump cares about us money, and compared to Musk, Trump is a pauper.
CosmicTurtle0 [he/him]You woefully have misunderstood the dynamic. Trump’s the sub.
Regardless, I don’t think there’s need for a seperate office when they’re insatiably sucking each other off all the time.
Oh they both give off “We give each other blow jobs but no homo” energy
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.
TranquilTurbulenceTragedy or comedy? Why not both.
ColdWaterthe US is fucked lmao
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!
Why are people surprised? He’s the president!
MonstrosityHe’s not mine.
They meant the president of the USA
AnUnusualRelicThey still have that? I thought it had been privatized?
It has, Musk bought it.
They kept the name of the position
Yes, I am aware.
What Anarki is engaging in is what Orwell called, “Double Speak.” Although framed as a joke, they are saying something we all know is not true, then we all go, “yeah, isn’t that the truth,” in jest, then repeat the “joke” ourselves and so on until this constant repetition of something that isn’t true eventually has us all believing and acting as though it is true, so, essentially, it is true.
I sometimes like to push back on obvious examples of this.
