  2. An ego his size in an administration led by Trump and his ego? Musk is not going to be around long.

  4. I liked Elon musk more when he was only business focused , he was more intellectual, but since he got involved in politics, he is really dangerous, and the last thing we need in the future is problem makers, we need more problem solvers.. the day trump got voted, it’s the day you can say good bye to a stable time line

  5. Musk will be forced out of the Trump administration before the inauguration

  6. The Dollop podcas has a two parter on the guy, where he comes from, and what shit he did. It’s fucking crazy to listen to. Here’s just a sip of the kookiness:

    >[Elon Musk’s grandfather belonged to a political party that believed the world should be governed by technology. Newspapers at the time described it as having ‘the tone of an incipient Fascist movement.’](https://www.businessinsider.com/who-was-elon-musk-grandfather-joshua-haldeman-technocracy-incorporated-party-2023-9)

  7. He really does not want to sell his cars here, does he?

  8. Can we stop giving attention to this idiot?

    At this point we are feeding his ego like pouring fuel in a fire.

  10. Just ban X. It’s that simple. Nothing of value will be lost. Warn him if he continues to act like he has Tesla will also be banned.

    People like him do not care until something has hurt their pockets, they don’t care about a warning.

  11. “The organization also referred to people as numbers (apparently, Musk’s grandfather was 10450-1) and sometimes added Xs to their names.”

    X’s everywhere…

  13. The US was ok with Europe as long as Europe was obeying US needs.

  14. I genuinely ask myself: why?! What would be the possible benefit (other than nefarious ones) to deepen a rift between friendly nations/states/continents?

  16. Deepen? Nah. I think Trump has already proven himself unreliable last time, and this being his last term he is only going to be even more irresponsible and childish.
    Europe is probably best off effectively forgetting that the US exists for the coming 4 years when it comes to any serious plans.

  17. I think this would be beneficial for everyone, however you watch it:
    – if you are leftist, this will cease the conservative influences in Europe
    – if you are anti-woke, this will stop the woke influence in Europe
    – if you are Europeist, this will finally be the occasion for Europe to grow up and build a military and economic common policy around the continental interests

  18. Nothing of substance in this article since it’s pay walled and yet 50 comments discussing something 99% of you didn’t even open to read. We don’t need bots on the internet with humans like this fucking sad.

  21. Best thing that can happen to a Europe that needs to be united, enemies!

  22. You know how when you were a kid around adults and they tried to give you a hint to go play or something without trying to be mean but end up telling you to leave anyways because you couldn’t take a hint.. that’s Elon

  23. America’s first ever South African President of the United States. Very progressive guys, good job murica.

  24. I don’t get enough space karen vibes from this caricature.

  26. Africa him back send zambizy with a fucking machete if you have too 

  27. Don’t put too much stock into Musk and Trump as allies with longevity.
    They’re both still in “new toy” phase with each other. It’s exciting to have a new toy.
    Whether a political alliance can sustain two such massive egos remains to be seen.

  28. I hope we can remain on good terms with America even if they’re longer a friend or ally. Sadly It’s oligarchs with their own interests and agendas so the next four years are bound to generate a few arguments and conflicts.
