Summary
Elon Musk, a Republican megadonor and close Trump ally, is reportedly set to have office space in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the West Wing.
Musk is expected to head the “Department of Government Efficiency,” aiming to reduce federal spending under Trump.
Critics question Musk’s influence, noting his frequent presence at key Trump meetings and events.
This move, if confirmed, would grant Musk continued access to Trump post-inauguration, sparking debate about the billionaire’s role in the administration despite holding no official government position.
Waitaminute… Isn’t he going into the tesla office every day? I thought employees couldn’t be productive without being in the office!
Come on, there’s the press releases and public relations and then there’s reality.
The reality is that businesses want employees to leave so they can avoid paying severance and because the banks will give them preferential rates for utilizing office space, keeping commercial properties artificially inflated despite major changes in the perception and reality about how work can be performed.
It’s easy to downsize at very large companies, it just piles on more work for those that remain. During booming times like most tech companies had in the pandemic they hired like gangbusters at the behest of middle management, now it’s austerity time so they can focus on massive profits while corporate taxes are at an excessive temporary low.
woosh
Of course the real President should have offices in the White House!
Not that I would ever condone or encourage such abhorrent and inexcusable behaviour, but it would seem like if anyone in US politics is begging for a bullet, it’s Musk. Even more so than Trump or his cabinet of monstrosities. Musk is uniquely poised to catch a round in the dome. And it will probably be a MAGA lunatic that does it.
Musk is a bigger problem for the world as a whole than Trump is. So yeah, I still don’t get why it hasn’t happened yet.
Oh man he’s gonna give so many more blowjobs than Melania
69 is one of favorite numbers. The other is 420, He has priced cars at $69,420 in the past.
Is it just me or is Elon’s appearance taking on more and more the embodiment of a fart in human form?
I didn’t know how to word it, but this feels about right
Next door to the Russian and Chinese oligarch offices.
The most likely, so he could give them a blowjob from time to time.
Every president in the White House needs a dog eh?
Yup, that’s why Trump is there.
Jesus fucking Christ
What shape is that office?
Oval.
Aw, he’s moved his lover in.
I cannot wait until the Orange Idiot gets sick of him and Musk suddenly becomes a Democrat.
The upcoming fight will be a bit more final. Maybe. Musk must have bought the Russian Kompromat on Trump, but at some point Trump won’t care, and Elon will likely end up in Gitmo.
Now we can get Tesla Whitehouse recall announcements.
I would say they should block the gaming ports on the network, but Musk doesn’t really play games anyway.
I think he was/is really big into Diablo 4
The internet should trick him into playing a well know AAA brand game that only gets negative reviews from serious gamers, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Lord of the Rings: Gollum, Overwatch 2 etc.
Yeah that’ll show him…
Would certainly hurt his ego, which he cares a lot about 🙂
Let me guess, he wanted “that to sink in” ? 😂
Does it mean Mar-a-Lago is the new WH or the other way?
