Seth Abramson says CNN just reported that Trump aides are calling journalists to insist Musk follows Trump's orders

[highplainsdem]

CNN confirmed on-air just now that top Trump aides are furiously calling journalists to insist that Elon Musk has been following the orders of Trump rather than the other way around. As predicted, Trump is horrified and enraged at the idea that Musk is now seen as the President of the United States.

1. Hahahahahahahahaha

Yeah right!! Sure!! MAGATS don’t lie!! LOL

[rurallib]

34. hahahahahahahahaha

[TheBlackAdder]

127. hahahahahahahahaha

[Solly Mack]

2. Whatever you say President Chump.

[Swede]

37. That's Vice-President Chump.

nt

[Solly Mack]

39. or just plain Chump.

[Chellee]

43. I'm pretty sure it's First Gentleman.

President Musk
Vice President Vance
FGOTUS Trump

Trump has even fewer duties than any previous FLOTUS (excepting Melania, she didn't do much). I think he's mostly just supposed to show up at ribbon cuttings and smile.

[EndlessWire]

92. Except

that all he does is scowl like Hitler. So, he is incompetent even at that.

[calimary]

113. And he's certainly NO gentleman!

[PCIntern]

118. Don't forget the "Thumb's up" horseshit...

Like he does at gravesites and funerals.

[not fooled]

123. We finally have split the duties!

The ceremonial figurehead and the actual president! Dumbass Burger King Donnie can swagger around in public and focus on his revenge agenda while President Musk runs the government.

Who voted for this? No one? Oopsie!

[Rebl2]

63. Bet

He’s wishing hadn’t hitched his wagon to musky now

[Solly Mack]

99. He's getting something out of it. Just a case of the abuse not outweighing the gain.

Still, he is a Chump.

[Rebl2]

122. I figure

muck has something on Trump.

[Solly Mack]

124. Could be. He has the machinery, as it were, in place to find out all kinds of things about people.

[Ocelot II]

3. Hahahahaha!

Musk is following Trump's orders because Musk planted the "orders" in Trump's empty skull in the first place.

[KS Toronado]

120. You're 100% correct

[kimbutgar]

4. Ha ha he must has seen that Lincoln Project video highlighting President muskrat!

We need to keep up the President Muskrat going forward instead of drumpt. Or Muskdrumpt administration.

[TheBlackAdder]

128. DOGE is headed by what, a South African illegal immigrant with dual citizenship and an Anchor Baby?

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

5. Sorry Trumpski, that would be Fake News. The Real News is you're second banana!

And if JD has his way, you will be 3rd banana!

[lapfog_1]

35. fourth banana

Putin
Musk
Vance
Trump and cronies trying to prop up a mentally failing huckster

[Lovie777]

6. Fight.......

[sheshe2]

44. en garde!

[BOSSHOG]

7. The Chickenshit Caucus flexes its wings

I don’t ever remember my Dad telling my Mom to discipline me.

Special Assistant to President Musk is having a tough day. Somebody get him a Mic to fellate.

Regardless of who is giving the orders, they are wrong and damaging to our country on purpose.

[dgauss]

8. ELON MUSK IS NOT IN CHARGE SO STOP SAYING THAT!!!

14. trump is Musk's intern...........nt

[emulatorloo]

85. You mean like a "Celebrity Apprentice"?

[DoBW]

88. that works ....nt

15. As I posted earlier. This idea clearly got inside the compound

100. Aww, 2 little magettes are hurt.

[Sogo]

16. President Elump.

....per Fugelsang.

[claudette]

38. 👍

[Maeve]

41. Seen both Trusk and Mump

Think I prefer the latter!

[Xavier Breath]

131. "America has come down with a case of the Mump" sounds about right.

[Efilroft Sul]

17. Musk to Trump: "Your name is Reek."

[Bird Lady]

23. HaHaHa...

fitting since he does.

[debm55]

18. Both should look out for fifth story windows.

[leftyladyfrommo]

19. The game us on. This might get good. nt

[Noel Kums]

20. Never underestimate how thin Donnie's skin can actually be. It literally takes nothing.

The best news I've seen all day.

[Marie Marie]

21. Oh goody goody goody... it's starting!

When those two massive egos finally collide, it will make THE Big Bang seem like a kitten fart.

[Bird Lady]

22. good!

we need to continue to amplify the Musk President memes. It will eventually do Leon in.

[eShirl]

25. Nobody believes Dump is calling the shots.

Nobody.

[travelingthrulife]

91. Over and over and over again. keep saying this.

[Diamond_Dog]

102. Dump is too stupid to figure out how an umbrella works, let alone make up policy.

Eloon is calling the shots, obviously. People can see it for what it is, now. Donnie gonna be mad! Makes him look weak! I love it! Our side should keep pushing this narrative!

[reACTIONary]

60. There are lots of "old" people in this country,

Last edited Fri Dec 20, 2024, 06:38 PM - Edit history (1)

I don't know what your definition of "old" is, but many don't deserve to be lumped in a category with Trump.

[iluvtennis]

66. This is my retort to trump calling Biden old...nothing more. My apologies to anyone offended as this is only intended

for one individual and that is DonOLD trump. It does not apply to the general population of senior citizens/elders who I highly respect.

[blue neen]

72. I gotcha.

[HUAJIAO]

101. I'm 81...no5 offended at all.

I'm old! Ha ha

[Ford_Prefect]

28. Wow! Just Wow! You know you've lost it when you have your people telling the press the opposite

of what anyone can see with their own eyes! The man behind the curtain IS indeed running the show.

The gang who can't shoot straight strikes once again.

[Dave Bowman]

29. Aww, poor snowflake.

The honeymoon is about to end, apparently.

[GusBob]

30. I have an idea

A letter writing campaign to the white house

Address letters to " President of the US" begin letters with "Dr President Musk,
Congratulations on your election as President of this country...yada yada yada"

Or Address to "President Elon Musk" at WH address

[Dem2theMax]

69. I've been saying that on here for days!

Not just letters to the White House. Also, emails and phone calls! Everything addressed to President Musk.

[CrispyQ]

103. FYI. Postcards go through security faster.

[dchill]

31. All of which serves to make the idea that Musk is in control...

...all the more likely. "Trump aides" are their own irony.

[sdfernando]

32. This reeks of a child

saying "I meant to do that!"

[spudspud]

36. roflmao....

The schoolyard equivalent of "Hey, I heard Elon wears diapers and has cooties. Trump rules. Pass it on."

[dchill]

40. "...Musk is now seen as the President of the United States."

Great quote!

[City Lights]

42. It's silly season.

Everyone knows it's Musk calling the shots.

Dotardus is PINO.

[Aviation Pro]

45. Nah

Motherfucker is now President Musk’s Waltine Nauta.

[BadgerMom]

50. I love this for them.

[justhanginon]

55. Okay, how about "co-president" Trump? Make it the Musk/Trump co-presidency.

[Demobrat]

48. I'm sure they are.

And the “journalists” will dutifully report it

[BadgerMom]

49. Prove it, Trump. Send Leon packing or you answer to him.

[Karasu]

51. LOL! Why would anyone believe this pathetic attempt at damage control? Elon is (unfortunately) the richest man in the

world. Trump is a mentally incompetent, broke crook who is indebted to every wealthy fascist and their grandmother. We all know who wears the pants here.

Even fucking Republicans know the truth. After all, money is the only thing that matters in their world. They just can't afford to fucking admit it.

[Irish_Dem]

52. Somebody's having a hissy fit.

[Blue Owl]

53. Donald tRump has 'hand'

Tee hee hee hee…..

[Pinback]

62. "You're gonna need it!"

I remember that episode.

[AllaN01Bear]

54. whaa. hem

[SunSeeker]

56. LOL Trump is such a pathetic loser!

[oldtime dfl_er]

57. hahaha

[spanone]

58. I hear rumbling in the distance....

Bwahahahahahaaa...He's gonna blow!!!!

[Figarosmom]

59. Ha

He's not 'horrified" he's pissed.

[Rebl2]

61. So laughable 😐

[Sneederbunk]

64. Did they clear the calls with Eloon first?

[Aussie105]

65. Only one question here.

When Donald puts the hard word on Elon to back down a bit and stop stealing Trump's limelight, will Elon totally lose it and come out with some really juicy Afrikaans swear words?

There are some good ones out there, if you care to Google!

This bromance isn't going to last, is it?
One of them has to be seen to be in charge. The White House Oval Office isn't big enough for two planet sized egos.

[Dem2theMax]

67. Hahahahahahahaha. The ego has landed!

Which means, we need to double down.

Oh, PRESIDENT MUSK, I have a question for you.

"Who is that guy with the orange skin and horrible comb over who keeps following you around?"

[wryter2000]

68. Has someone started a clock to bet on how long Leon lasts?

[Wiz Imp]

70. It's Clearly Working!!! EVERYBODY needs to keep it up!!! President Musk!!! VP Trump!!!

[Bengus81]

71. Seems strange to me. Why would his aids embarrass Trump like that using the "Fake News" orgs

instead of handling it internally?? Hope no one is being played.

[TBF]

73. lolol ... what a cluster. nt

[state of stupid]

74. I guess I misunderstood

I thought it was a monarchy. So it would be:
King Elon
Chancellor Ramaswamy
Gentleman of the Bedchamber Vance
Groom of the Stool Trump

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. In the future as shall endeavor to be more informed.

[kacekwl]

75. Keep at it everyone.

He may stroke out by years end.

[Hekate]

76. Ho. Ho. Ho.

[doc03]

77. It is driving him crazy

[pandr32]

78. Yay!

Keep piling it on, Folks.

[defacto7]

79. Since it's a fascist oligarchy they want, it's just reasonable that

the presidency goes to Musk. He has more money.

[Karasu]

87. +1000

[Blue_Tires]

81. Donnie's already losing control of the narrative

HOW IN FUCK'S NAME DID WE EVER LOSE (TWICE!) TO A BUNCH OF INCOMPETENT BRAIN-DEAD FUCKWITS?

[Karasu]

117. I mean, we didn't actually lose the first time. We won the only metric that should matter. Ain't our fault someting as

mind-numbingly fucking stupid as the electoral college still exists.

[vapor2]

82. why should we believe CNN on this?

[republianmushroom]

83. You bet'hum Red Ryder. chuckle chuckle

And the sun rises in the West tomorrow.

[Ohioboy]

84. That didn't take long.

[Aussie105]

86. This is highly entertaining!

House of cards, bombs not needed to bring this structure down.

Can someone in the GOP who is competent and capable rise to the surface of the swamp and sort this mess out?
No?
Too much to ask of the GOP, I guess.

[azureblue]

89. TIme to turn them agaisnt each other

Go on X and complement Elon about his wise decisions in the face of adversity. Make a subtle comment about how you think Trump can't do the job.
Then post to Trump that Elon is trying to take his job away from him, and he can't let that second rate nobody do that.

[blue blues]

90. The devil owns you

So the way it's going 1. putin 2. musk

94. Ow, Boo Hoo. Is the baby throwing a tantrum?

[struggle4progress]

95. "Mommy! Mommy! Loony Skum has been cheating at Simon sez!"

[relayerbob]

96. Perfect!!! Keep up calling him President Musk

That'll get him tossed faster than anything else!

[blueseas]

97. President Musk

Will be upset since he spent all that money. He needs to see what his money can do.

[BlueKota]

107. Yup! Eloon Muskrat bought the Presidency.

It's the tsf's own fault that he believed it when the Muskrat said it was a gift for him. Don the con got conned. Now tote that barge and lift that bale for Eloon your King, Courtier Donny.

[dobleremolque]

98. Maybe they'll call me. Nah.

Not with my new tagline bumper sticker......

105. It's working 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Time to double down

[LudwigPastorius]

106. Trump is being cucked by President-elect Leon before he even gets sworn in.

[Bluethroughu]

108. No he don't Donald...you are his itch, that crab,

He'd love to scratch away.

Elunatic owns you and the Republican party, that vote yesterday proved it.

[Blue Full Moon]

109. President Muskrat Wormtongue is working

[Hassler]

110. And don't fall call Leon President Musk!

[Klarkashton]

111. Repeat after me : "president musk"

[calimary]

112. Awwwwww... did mean ol' Elon just hurt poor widdle Donald's poor widdle feewings?

EXCELLENT!!!

Sometimes Christmas really does come early!

[NH Ethylene]

114. Ahhh, that gave me a good chuckle. n/t

[usonian]

115. Musk is following Trump's odors!

And Trump is following Musk's orders.


"Did ya get my cheese whiz, boy"

"Or are you wearing it?"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

116. Feeling inadequate Donny?

[COL Mustard]

119. BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Musk following Trump's orders!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!

That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all year! You’re killing it!!!

[Martin68]

121. I guess the adoption of the phrase "President Musk" by people all over the internet, news, and other media is having

an effect. I thought this might happen both because Trump is wants to appear to be the powerful boss always fully in charge, and his aides, who are being undermined by Musks perceived authority. There's really only room for one at the top.

[MontanaMama]

125. Should we start a betting pool on when

the break up will happen? I hope it’s a doozy.

[D. Spaulding]

126. This should be the message to the incoming president, short and sweet;

"Hey Trump, shut the Musk up!!!"

[Attilatheblond]

129. Gonna be fun to watch the Narcissit Cage Fight, but that's just the lead-in event.

Saving my for when it is settled and then Elon and Thiel grapple for the trophy, AKA the USA.

[ProfessorGAC]

130. Like Musk Follows Orders

Even it wasn't "what's his name" giving the orders, Musk doesn't seem the type to take orders.
From anybody.

[ecstatic]

132. What a shit show!

I wonder if the assholes who voted for this chaos are happy?
