Metal_Gear_Raxis 11/16/24 3:36:07 PM #1:	https://newrepublic.com/post/188501/elon-musk-annoying-trump-team Elon Musk is starting to seriously annoy some in Donald Trumps inner circle. Musk has been hanging around Mar-a-Lago ever since his million-dollar gamble to help Trump win the presidential election paid off last week. The billionaire technocrat seems to have no intention of taking a back seat in Trumps presidency, and its starting to piss off those in the presidents ranks, according to two people familiar with the Trump teams transition who spoke with NBC News earlier this week. Hes behaving as if hes a co-president and making sure everyone knows it, one of the two people told NBC. And hes sure taking lots of credit for the presidents victory. Bragging about America PAC and X to anyone who will listen. Hes trying to make President Trump feel indebted to him. And the president is indebted to no one, they added. The second person said that Musk had been overstepping his bounds, and that Musk has an opinion on and about everything. He wants to be seen as having say in everything (even if he doesnt), the source told NBC. Musk has been pretty busy since hitching his space-age wagon to the MAGA movement. Musk met with Irans U.N. ambassador on Monday, reportedly hoping to broker some kind of peace negotiation on behalf of the United States. Last week, Musk hopped on Trumps calls with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoan. Co-presidents doesnt sound too far off. Calling it now, the breakup will come less than a month into Trump's term, at the latest. An easy way to expedite this would be the press constantly asking Trump how Musk feels about whatever he's trying to do in the given moment. --- Time is a funny thing, you know? I guess in the big picture of my life, you were only a blip. But oftentimes, those "blips" make the biggest impacts. <cite>Metal_Gear_Raxis posted [p:982965034] in Musk repor...

Both men already know the answer to everything, both of them are never wrong, and both of them can't handle being told "no" But only one of them has the power to remove the other. Seems plausible.

DnDer 11/16/24 4:42:44 PM #42:	foreverzero212 posted... Thats more of a duty or incentive as a CEO and capital owner, not really a belief. Isn't it sick that, "I have a fiduciary responsibility to my shareholders to avoid regulators and inspections," is somehow an appropriate role and responsibility of a business owner? I'd like to think that if we were a proper stakeholder economy (arguably "again" depending on what your threshold definition is) and business owners were responsible to the business and the workers instead of investors that America, as a whole, would be better off. --- What has books ever teached us? -- Captain Afrohead Subject-verb agreement. -- t3h 0n3 <cite>DnDer posted [p:982965761] in Musk repor...

Especially if people start believing Elon is in charge. Trump would get in his own way and has done so, so many times. Hell, there were so many things he done this election that should have cost him this election....but it didn't. He should have fallen off the wire but has been keeping his balance somehow.
