This is inherently political, but I thought it was interesting at this point of the timeline of events unfolding, he could be the de facto President despite not being a natural citizen. Trump has shown evidence of deferring to political strongmen like Putin and Kim Jong Un. I just have a gut feeling that he’d defer to Musk, who has a strong personality of his own.
Make him take a drug test and publicly announce the results!
Rule 3, now fuck off
Two gereatric Nepo babies running a train on our US.
Plebs are gonna get so fucked.
Musk is only 53, I don’t think “geriatric” is a realistic description of him. Trump yes, but not Musk.
matter of perspective, for anyone under 30, these clowns are parasitic fossil
They’re both adolescents in my mind and I’m younger than either by over a decade.
being born on the third base permits a person to act however they want, and the peasants will have to take the beatings until morale improves.
From an Atlantic article yesterday:
Bruno Maçães, a writer and consultant on geopolitics who has served as Portugal’s Europe minister, told me his phone had been ringing constantly since Trump’s election. European business leaders want to know what Trump will do with his second term, and how they can prepare. Maçães was not optimistic. He scoffed at Trump’s decision to create new, lofty-sounding administration posts for Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, and was baffled by the Silicon Valley types who believe the billionaires will transform the federal government, usher in a new era of unprecedented economic growth, and colonize Mars. “Maybe,” Maçães said. “I don’t know. But if you saw this in another country, you would see it as an acute sign of political decay when billionaires and oligarchy are taking over political policy.”
You misspelled Putin
Actually it looks like he’s fucking this opportunity up like he fucks up everything.
Put two people with egos the size of the Moon in a room together, yeah they’re gonna crash into each other lol
If it didn’t involve the complete destruction of my future it’d be comical
Edith Wilson was de facto president after Woodrow Wilson’s stroke in 1919, for the remainder of his term, allegedly.
It’s crazy to think about those few years. Woodrow had a bad stroke, and Edith basically didn’t allow anyone to disturb him. So they’d bring issues/bills/etc to her, and she would go in and “advise” the President, and then come out and relay his supposed response.
The closest we’ve ever come to actually having a woman President.
de facto is pretty fuckin close
I think Dick Cheney beat him to it.
That’s from 2014?
According to the caption (Getty Images, Max Whittaker), I guess so!
He isn’t the president of the United States
Congratulations on grasping the literal meaning of the title 🤣

Wait? Did the title change since you saw it? Now I’m confused. I didn’t bloody change it, I’m not OP 😋
Yeah its official I’m going insane
