As if he didn't know it was all bullshit.
He knew, he was in on it and now trying to distance himself when it becomes unpopular.
Project 2025? What's that? I've never heard of that and I don't know anything about it!

On the one hand yeah that entirely possible. On the other hand, Trump clearly suffers from dementia, and he just may not know what the fuck is going on at any given moment and tries to go with it, failing constantly and his staff is failingly trying to cover it all up every time.
He has somewhat been backed into a corner.
Does he:
- admit that Elon bullshitted him, tricked him, the master negotiator and businessman?
- admit that he has no idea what is going on?
I think Elon's drop in popularity and recent hate has become too much to keep him around.
He was a useful tool at the time, I don't think the whole DOGE thing was actually there to do good, just to ride Elon's popularity to a win and then shape the government the way they wanted to take advantage and then toss him aside when they achieved their goals.
But also, yes, I believe that Dementia Don's mind is checking out fast.
He's like racist old grandpa who has lost his mind and on autopilot now, mumbling about shit nobody has an idea about... except he is steering the car off the road with all the passengers screaming.
Should have taken his license away years ago.
No. That's giving him far too much credit and giving him a pass for the evil. This isnt the confusion of an old man, it's evil by design. Nobody gets a pass, especially not him.

It was expected that after a good wrecking of services, Musk would be the designated scape goat. Soon the talks about privatization begin.

Musk now has internet-connected backdoored computers installed on multiple government networks that were previously airgapped.
He isn't going to just give up access peacefully.
Just do it around 10am. He should be deep in a K hole by that time.
That Trump photo is spectacular.
Every single photo I've seen of Trump has been incredibly unphotogenic. It was to be some concerted effort by the photographers.
Or, perhaps, he's just really fucking ugly.
It catches his whining perfectly
Like a punch drunk albino raccoon
Musk, on the other hand, looks like somebody grabbed his face from his skull and pulled it JUUUUSSST A LITTLE down and to the left
Lookin so much like an old leather sofa that Vance is probably gonna start trying to chat him up soon.
I legitimately don't know the backstory of the vance fucking sofas thing, and I really want to keep it that way, because every time I read somebody ripping on him for whatever it is that he did, I laugh my ass off.

Doesn't he look tired
He's going to blame it all on Elon
Bingo! Right out of his own "The Art of Unaccountability" playbook.
Haha, elon is pretending not to be a nazi, because he is a ketamine addict and tramp is pretending not to have anything to do with elon, because everyone hates him.
As much as I'd love to see Musk be on the next rocket, functional or not, to Mars, I also expect Trump to take 0 responsibility for any negative outcome and all credit for any positive downfall regardless of his actual involvement no matter how remote.
Like he said that the good parts of the economy are because of him and the bad parts are because of Biden.
"There are no silver bullets."
That's the easy most accessible piece of Wisdom in Business there is.
Of course, Trump hasn't actually learned that lesson, because his whole style is to ride the wave and hope for the best, not to actually think about things, before or after, which is why he's so easy to manipulate by others and why you get things like him chickening out so often that there is now the TACO trade.
Multiple people who have worked for him describe him as "fucking stupid".
Yes you dumb asshole, you put an anarchocapitalist (more of an oligopolist but whatever) in a position to fire regulators and IRS staff.
Cohen said Mango Mussolini will go after Leon's cash. I would not be surprised and hopefully they attack each other.
their egos are so massive they will out each other for election fraud. That is after all what they had on each other all along.
Honeymoon is over.
Covering up all the money they are siphoning to Elon's businesses. This was never about improvement. It's about securing contracts. We all saw this coming. Elon was supposed leave after he had the contracts secured.
Took him only 4 month and 10 days to realize it
It served its purpose, it cut aid to those who needed it and gave money to those who didn't. I think maybe they thought that cutting the social safety nets would have saved more money, but that's all they're going to be upset about.
Turns out the real welfare queens were the military and healthcare insurance companies all along.
Also, Elon was able to install some backdoor hacks for foreign leaders with his access to about a dozen of our agencies' systems.
If a regular citizen did that, the FBI would kidnap and torture them.

I wonder sometimes what it's like exactly, being in the Cheeto guy's head because the idea that he and Elon would have a falling out eventually just seemed so utterly predictable to me, some guy, that it's sort of hard wrap my head around how he could fail to see this coming. People will say o shouldn't be surprised, it's not complicated, he's just dumb but like, this isn't like a policy thing, it's not that I'm surprised he didn't expect his ideas to fail it's just this personal relationship was so clearly not to last because of what both these guys are like and I'd have thought this should be obvious to Trump himself from prior experiences with people. It was never going to work where the new friend and political ally views himself as at least an equal, Trump's obviously going to hate that.

I hope all those who voted for him and are getting fucked over by this stupidity are satisfied. Enjoy your misery you clowns!
Sucks for everyone else who saw the obvious idiocy though.
He looks so orange, like he played with orange clay and accidentally covered his entire face in it
He had a meeting with the Saudis the other week. He looks bad normally, but standing next to them in their white clothes, the photographer couldn't fuck with the white balance as much, and he looked absurd, like a fucking Oompa Loompa.
The fact that it stops miles from his hair and eyes as well, like they apply this shit with a stencil and a spray can.
I really hope this is some epic prank from his makeup person that's been going on for years
Musk got the data he wanted. Everything else was deflect, deflect, deflect.

Since when does Conald care about using taxpayer money?
People noticed and somebody needs to take the fall. That's all.
Is he asking about his government or DOGE? We need to make the clear distinction
He's just setting Elon up as a fall guy for thr masses
Brian Tyler Cohen doesn't always respond to tweets. But when he does, he responds to tweets by Brian Tyler Cohen.
