Please. At least the orange man is funny. Musk has literally zero redeeming qualities. He might be the worst person alive in every possible aspect. He's despicable from a moral standpoint, hideous to look at, an awful public speaker, tediously unfunny, not personable in the slightest, dumb as a brick and obnoxiously whiny. I am not exaggerating, he might be The Worst Guy Ever. It is incredible just how much he sucks.

I dunno, I think Musk really has achieved a level of Sucking In Every Imaginable Sense that's pretty unique.
its a very competitive category for sure
I thought Joe Rogan would reign for a thousand years as that guy™ but you're right.
Finally?! I was wondering when the break-up drama finally came
I sincerely believe that Trump only kept him around this long because he actually believed Elon hacked voting machines to win him the presidency. Losing the Wisconsin vote yesterday proved he can't actually do it
I think it was for his money, now that he has the presidency he no longer has use for him. I dont know what took him so long though, maybe he saw that DOGE stuff as actually useful?
No, my theory is stupider. That makes it more likely to be true
it actually does... 😞
From the article, it sounds like Trump is trying to keep it pretty friendly.
Trump is not the type of guy to not do messy breakups. Neither is Elon.
Yeah that’s what I always thought. And how I figured the inevitable breakup would go. But the article certainly attempts to paint a different picture.
But Trump’s praise was genuine, they said. Despite their rollercoaster of a relationship, insiders insist that the president will always have a special place for Musk in his heart, if not his administration.
game recognizes game. "you're like me, we're best friends now!"
They’re going to make a big public show of “firing” him because Tesla stock is crashing and they want to signal to investors that someone is, in fact, at the helm. He will retain all of the influence he previously wielded in government.
Somebody just needs to start a meme about how embarrassing this is for Musk and how Donald Trump is his master, and Musk will have a meltdown and burn that bridge for real.
You're fired!
It’s a step in the right direction, but I have to say
When Trump went further at last week’s Cabinet meeting, confirming the impending end of Musk’s full-time White House role, some of the secretaries were relieved
They are relieved we are returning back to the sanity and stability of Trump alone…
Oh snap, what a dope picture of Stalin.
Musk already got everything he wanted. He got to personally fire frontline public workers that weren’t directly padding his bottom line and scrape sensitive personal data on everyone in the US. All he’s doing now is taking heat from consumers who have no legal way to engage in meaningful political action against the regime. The only real reason for him to still be around in the public eye at this point is just to burn money for the sake of his own vanity to show that he can.
Elon finished his role very quickly and now they will continue to do what they have already been doing and look like heroes to whole spectrum of libdom for "firing Elon."
That was quite the honeymoon though..
