I’m sure he’ll be consoled by his billions and having a corrupted government that coddles him even further.
The best part is no he won’t. He desperately craves being liked and can’t understand why he isn’t.
Matt Calkins, CEO of software company Appian… said Musk’s approach to running his tech companies didn’t translate well in Washington.
It doesn’t even work well in his tech companies.
That’s because he bought successful, well managed companies.
When he had full creative control… we got the Cybertruck.
Unrelated tangent on the Appian software: It is exactly your solution if you have a five person job, but need to employ 30
Theater.
Elon Musk is playing the part of “heel”, and articles and reporting like this is engineered to “take you in” to the moment, where something can be simplified and reduced to a “good” versus “evil” paradigm. It creates an escape clause for those doing the truly villainous where the heel can be pointed to as “worse”.
100%. Also a hatchet man. He’s brought in, wrecks shit on purpose, gets “kicked out”, profits immensely. Now admin can roll things back 5-10% to placate the plebes and blame Musk who everyone already hates for their life being worse. That said, a lot of people would nonperformatively tell him to go fuck himself. Just don’t mistake it as anyone being on your side
He literally came in waving a chainsaw. Hatchet man the entire way, this was preordained.
It was classic “seagull manager” shit that the private sector looooooves to pull (usually combined with a consultant company and/or very short-term executive position), but on the federal government level.
Comes in, shits all over everything, typically skips off to do something else at another institution within a few short years, sometimes just a few months. Pays no consequences whatsoever for his stupid shit, is praised by the “right people” for being a financial/operational/executive genius or whatever; hated almost universally by everyone else.

I was going to say, this has been one of the clumsier high-school dinner theater productions I’ve been to.
Agree, and I’ve been to some pretty rough Rocky Horror Picture shows.
This is partly true.
The other part is he’s so rich that he virtually cannot go broke.
No one person should have that much wealth.
The old Vince McMahon strategy.
Y’all are being way too nice on this actual Nazi
Lmao. He’s so fucking unlikeable. That is absolutely hilarious.
Fuck all of them, I say
After the tongue lashing he had a ketamine chaser.
Off with their heads!
I don’t know that we should be advocating for violence here. If we do that, we may find our opponents responding by doing the same, resulting in a positive feedback loop of escalation. I mean it’s not like they [checks notes] carefully planned and organized a rally based on an extremely inflammatory lie, riled up the attendees, told them to fight, sent them to the Capitol Building resulting in an angry mob that stormed the Capitol while actively calling for the deaths of the VP and several members of Congress, killing some people and vandalizing the offices of Congress…oh, no. Well, at least they weren’t pardoned for their flagrant, violent insurrection…oh, no. You know what? Just disregard my earlier comments. Carry on.
Green. Mario.
Love it. Marios that are green should be free.
We don’t need violence to deal with Musk, I agree.
We can do far worse. We can strip him of his US government contracts, seize all of his US assets, and ban him from ever setting foot on US soil again.
He’s always been rich since birth, but what he really craves is attention and adulation. He literally believes he’s Homo Superior, and deserves worship.
He’ll still be rich, but the blow to his fragile pubescent ego would be devastating.
Ok. Get to it. The world is waiting.
I can’t read the article because of a paywall.
