Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Waiting for Congress. Either republicans sycophants will ratify everything Trump has done, or it’s all elons fault
Scarborough has terrible takes. He bloviates with the best of them and this seems like another off-the-cuff rambling in hopes of something he wishes were true based on the thinnest pretext.
Him and his wife kissed the ring after the election. Networks at work, keeping people calm. They want you to think this will blow over, don’t go protest, Trump will stop with all this Elon shit any minute now… just let the snowball grow and keep thinking it’ll get smaller as it rolls.
It would be funny if Trump threw him under the bus. It's not like he's not done that numerous times, sometimes multiple times to the same people.
It's practically a sport for him.
I think the biggest difference is that Elon has money. Most of the people Trump throws under the bus are people that served a useful function but then stopped fulfilling that function.
Elon's function is to have money. He bought Twitter and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to elect Trump and Republicans. He threatens to fund primary challengers for any Republican that doesn't fall in line.
I don't see that usefulness disappearing anytime soon, no matter how unpopular he is.
odds on muskrat taking the government down with him?
imagine the backdoors and other goodies planted by the interns during the blitzkrieg through government systems, and all the data that's been uploaded to xitter-controlled servers.
Mutually assured destruction.
Harry Enten boiled down Donald Trump’s current favor with the American people to one word: “awful,” saying the only president he’s beating at this point in his presidency when it comes to approval ratings is himself during his first term.
LOL fucking savage!
Straight out of the Prince by Machiavelli.
This is just not going to happen, it’s all speculation and if trump can put up with elons kid literally telling him to shut his mouth then Elon is here to stay
I love these people who think Musk is Trump's puppet when it's so clearly the other way around. Trump only cares about one thing: himself, especially his net worth, and he was riding real low on that account before so he sold his office to Musk, and if you think Musk isn't getting his money's worth you haven't been paying attention. 95% of what they're doing is just to flood the zone so you don't notice that the oligarchs are dismantling the parts of government to render it unable to tax or regulate them. That's what Musk is there for, and even if he's on the outs publicly, never doubt that he will continue to get what he paid for.
It would be funny if websites started using Elon's fat or bald pictures for articles
It's really a 4D chess period.
It takes someone who can see a flat earth to follow along.
