    God I hope he gets margin called into oblivion.

    But, let’s be honest: if that happens, orangeboi will probably just write him a huge fucking bailout check using our taxpayer dollars. Hoorayyyyyyyyyy.

      These two fuckers really found each other.

      Had the Democrats won they’d both be in a world of pain by now.

      I hate to say it but investing in Drumpf probably was Me-lons cleverest move yet.

      In what way would that benefit trump? Also the president can’t unilaterally authorize bailout checks through executive order, that would have to go through congress which is unlikely.

      elon is valuable at the moment because he’s rich, when that’s no longer the case, trump will have no use in tolerating him any longer. elon will be discarded. trump isn’t exactly loyal to those around him.

        Under normal administrations I would agree with you. But we are in end-times fascism bullshit.

        Elon literally has his hands on the very department that prints government checks. He can, without any approval, write a check to himself.

          sure, but why would trump, now that he has the same access being the head of the federal government, use that access altruistically to help someone who is no longer useful to him? that’s not really his character.

          if it were as simple as writing a check using the access, why wouldn’t trump write checks for himself instead?

                  Twitter, which was financed using tesla stock as collateral. He won’t have it for much longer if things keep going as they are.

                    Love how reasonable your arguments are and yet lemmy downvotes anything that even smells like Musk approval.

                    Yeah, once Musk isn’t the richest man in the world, Trump drops him like a hot potato. Notice how Zuckerberg and Bezos paid their dues and then shut the fuck up? Our boy Elon ain’t that smart, he’s going for the brass ring.

                    It’s like he never took a European history class, saw what happened to the losers in the Soviet Union. LOL, when he falls far enough Trump will literally use AI to wipe him from photographs.
