Elon Musk warns Republicans against standing in Trump's way -- or his

[Zorro]

A week after President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, Elon Musk said his political action committee would “play a significant role in primaries.”

The following week, the billionaire responded to a report that he might fund challengers to GOP House members who don’t support Trump’s nominees. “How else? There is no other way,” Musk wrote on X, which he rebranded after purchasing Twitter and moving to boost conservative voices, including his own.

And during his recent visit to Capitol Hill, Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy delivered a warning to Republicans who don’t go along with their plans to slash spending as part of Trump’s proposed Department of Government Efficiency.

“Elon and Vivek talked about having a naughty list and a nice list for members of Congress and senators and how we vote and how we’re spending the American people’s money,” said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.

[question everything]

1. A mobster

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Let the voters decide and call his bluff

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. Go to hell, Eloon.

[GoCubsGo]

4. This kind of shit will not end well for Eloon.

People are already getting sick of his antics, including lots of Republicans. He's already on the verge of overstepping his bounds with Dear Leader, and it's just a matter of time before he does. I'm betting he's gone by Inauguration Day. Vivek, too.

[Johonny]

6. There's a good scene in Oliver Stones Nixon

Where the same oil tycoons that had leverage over him when he was running for office try to flex too hard on him and he slaps them down.

These people didn't obtain political power for nothing. You can lobby them, but there's only so much shit they will eat.

[Keepthesoulalive]

9. Hopefully some republicans

Can find a spine.

[Initech]

20. I have no doubt he helped interfere in the election.

If only we could charge him - not just for interfering in the election, but also aiding and abetting the enemy, Vladimir Putin. Trump was elected on Putin's behalf.

[GoCubsGo]

21. Absolutely.

But, let's also remember what happens to people who are no longer useful to Putin. I don't think Eloon will get pushed out of a 5th-story window, but I could see either Putin or a Trump toady getting fed up with him, and removing him via some other means, like poisoning, or an "accident," like a plane crash. Not to mention that there are probably hundreds more Luigi Mangiones out there, and with 450,000,000 guns in circulation, no billionaire is safe. Especially after they screw more and more people.

[Initech]

22. Oh no doubt after Fuckface gets inaugurated it's going to be a category 5 shit storm.

The head chaos agent in all of this will be laughing all the way to the bank while he continues to flip more and more governments to the side of fascist crazy. He is a James Bond villain.

[GoCubsGo]

28. Head Chaos Agent has his own shit storm coming on.

The Russian economy is melting down bigly. Things are not going as well in Ukraine as he wants you to think, and part of the reason for the economic meltdown, but far from all of it. And, many of his other allies, like Assad in Syria are being deposed or otherwise failing. I'm not sure he'll be much help to Fuckface before long, as he'll be busy trying to save his own ass. I'm thinking about starting a betting pool as to which one of them goes first.

Yeah, it's going to get ugly here, but I'm betting it's going to be more of an infighting-related ugly. And, likely some calls to bring out the guillotines, too. Just have to hope they do more damage to each other than they do to us.

[EastBayGuy]

41. I Mean, it's almost as if they want to be as well liked as Brian Thompson...

[Blue_Tires]

42. You'd think so, but....

I keep telling y'all that the Trumpers are a cult and they'll fall in line with whatever Dear Leader or his apartheid errand boy wants

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

5. Who in the Hell died and left this clown in charge?

oh, wait...democracy died.

[bluesbassman]

7. Gee you guys, what you're saying sounds an awful lot like the "F" word we were warning people about.

Fascism - is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

[Bristlecone]

10. Agree. If Trump and Rs take the country down that path, which Elon wants

Then what is to stop HIM from becoming dear leader? Certainly not the Constitution.

[bluesbassman]

12. That little Gestapo wannabe Stephen Miller talked like that during term one.

We all laughed at him, and the adults around TSF acted as guardrails. Those people don’t and won’t exist now, so This kind of talk is going to become more frequent and more serious as time goes on.

[geardaddy]

24. Exactly

and you know who else took power of a nation, who wasn't a natural-born citizen of that nation: Hitler.

[bluestarone]

8. His Billionaire NASTINESS is shining through BIGLY

What a rotten bastard he is. (Hell, even worse than TFG) The fucker needs to be sent back to Africa. Scares the shit out of me, that he has anything to do with space program or Satellite systems. TWO of the most EVIL bastards leading our country today. Wake the fuck up America!!

[Flatrat]

11. Republicans- the party of the morally bankrupt

[hedda_foil]

13. I think the technical term for this is extortion.

There's gotta be a law. Maybe somebody will sue. Maybe if somebody does sue and it gets to the the Supreme Six they might tap Elon on the head and say "naughty, naughty." Meanwhile, Elon does Elon with the Senate.

[Initech]

14. Fuck you Elon!

One day, he will get his.

[surfered]

15. If he does as good a job with the Government as he's down with X (twitter) and his Cybertruck, we are in deep Kimchi.

[Walleye]

16. Elon, you've probably never read Kurt Vonnegut, but

We all have, more or less, a constitutional right to tell you to go take a flying fuck out a rolling doughnut

[2naSalit]

34. Wow...

I was thinking of posting that!

[Dem4life1234]

17. He's such a thug

I wish he was deported.

You know fucking what? History doesn't end well for these types.

See all this could have been avoided had idiots voted.

[Mr. Sparkle]

18. Republican party is a lot like the Mafia, always threatening people

it's why the party is full of grifters, no one normal would work there.

[DronePilot]

30. The "mafia" schtick is tired. It's insulting to the actual mobs. These are just idiots.

[spanone]

19. Hey Leon

GO FUCK YOURSELF

[in2herbs]

23. Do the agencies every verify which bank account Eloon's donations for political purposes

come from? There are limits on donations by corporations.

[young_at_heart]

25. Power is intoxicating

For some "damaged" people, power is their reason for living.

[lame54]

26. An opportunity...

To scam the billionaire
Go against Trump
Have shill run against you
Have shill drop out last minute
Collect and split the money

[GenThePerservering]

27. I notice Traitor Greene is SO pleased with her little role

in this unofficial department of grift - she's such an imbecile that I wonder if she was given this job just to keep her out of anything "official".

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

29. What are you going to do Afrikaner boy?

[Linda ladeewolf]

31. They need to pass a resolution

To deport leon.

[HarryM]

32. Send him back to South Africa

Or better yet, Hades.

[GusBob]

33. Citizens United ruling in full force

Musk is very smart and he has American Democracy by the balls

[uponit7771]

35. How Hitler took over their parlement after it's fire

[Crowman2009]

36. Elon better hope no one decides to tamper with his drug stash

Wouldn't be surprised if there is an accidental overdose in his future.

[meow2u3]

37. Who the hell elected that illegal alien/fraudulent so-called citizen fElon Musk?

He's going to keep pushing his luck, eff around, and find out.

[Diraven]

38. He did the math

If Trump decided to have every Democrat in Congress executed it would then only take 18 surviving Republican Senators to prevent him from being impeached, and according to the current Supreme Court that would make it perfectly legal.

[canuckledragger]

39. Go fuck yourself, Leon.

I don't give a fuck about fascists' hurt feefees and egos, I always stand up bullying cowards like you and the convicted rapist.

[Evolve Dammit]

40. Can we send him back to South Africa FCS?????

[kimbutgar]

43. So I guess the repukes are ok giving up what little power they have ?

They will just be cardboard stand up characters from now on. With no say and will give up their power for a dictator they’re scared up. Repukes fearful, no balls/brains or courage. They should just quit and go on with their lives and get that paycheck doing nothing for their constituent’s!
