    Why would he do that? He has the closest thing to absolute power that existed since the independance of the US, without even getting elected and he would loose everything : the non-Nazis won’t forget what he did, and the Nazis won’t accept him.

      Let me be more specific.

      I think he will be kicked out of DOGE because of all the controversy and Trump’s own distaste for him. That between this and firing so many people who voted for Trump, Elon will become Persona Non Grata to the Right, pivot to the Left searching for some group willing to give him attention…

      And in doing so, he will finally come out as trans… and be mercilessly mocked by the Right over it.

      He will never find a group that accepts him (well her at this point), because we’ll still remember all the horrible things she did.

      And sort of find herself in the same kind of limbo Caitlyn Jenner is in where Nazis hate her because she’s trans, and Non-Nazis hate her because she’s transphobic.

      This is how I’m convinced Elon’s story will end. Just how I feel like this is going down.

        I can see what you’re saying, but at this point Elon is the most powerful person in the US, and certainly more powerful than any politician (even Trump).

        I don’t think everyone realizes how unbelievably, dangerously rich Elon is. The dude is a moron, but he has enough money to buy out all of our politicians many many times over.

          Sadly I didn’t take that into account…

          Elon might have the world’s most kickable-dick, but his money spends just like anyone else’s. Only difference is he has a lot more of it, it’s his googolplex to our zilch and that’s not good. How’d he even get that rich, I know he had an Emerald Mine, but fuck was it a Chaos Emerald mine or some shit?

        Trump hired him in the first place so I don’t think he’s going to get kicked out because of Trump’s distaste. Trump doesn’t care about people he only cares about himself and Elon is useful to him.

        If he gets kicked out it’ll be because he became a risk to Trump probably because he tried to take Trump on.

          Trump has demenetia and is prone to undoing things he did, but blaming the initial thing he did that he now regrets on an outside party.
