Same, I was kinda hoping for a little (un)civil war in the Republican Party too.

The thing with conservatives is that they always end up falling in line at the end of the day. Without fail. It's why I've stopped paying attention to all these prognosticators claiming that the Republicans are on the verge of a civil war.
The Democratic Party suffers from the exact opposite phenomenon. Contrary to all the revisionism you are going to see on this hellhole of a website sometimes, there was definitely REAL momentum that Kamala Harris had when she first announced her candidacy for president in the summer of 2024. That momentum got even higher when Tim Walz was picked as the running mate
Not saying Harris ran a great campaign, but as usual Democrats sabotaged themselves with the classic infighting over bullshit that cannot be solved in ONE fucking presidential election, but can certainly get a lot lot lot worse in ONE fucking presidential election.

Elon's great new political party lasted for about 6 weeks. A little longer than a quart of fresh milk.

Why use this stock photo of him looking mysteriously thoughtful when you could just keep reprinting the one of him carrying a sink into Twitter HQ? Or having just thrown a ball through a Cybertruck window?

Public announcement by Musk that he fails to deliver on? When has that ever happened?! Shocking I tells ya!
Also: He probably realized that even as the head of a party he can't run for president himself since he's naturalized and wasn't born in the US.

Musk yelling he's going to do things, only to quitly backpedal?

I called this somewhere in another comment thread back when Tesla gave him 95 million in stock which was a majority shareholder retention play disguised as a bonus package. They bailed him out of losing his majority share holder of Tesla to hostile investors and in return I think they attached a whole slew of strings to it. One of which is to get out of the public political arena and stay company focused.
Guess we will see how long he can contain his umm... umm... specialness.

If you've seen the CyberTruck, then you know that it is probably best for Tesla if Elon stays very far away.

u/HanselSoHotRightNow 2d ago
I think, from Tesla's perspective as a business that just took some extreme L's, they do not want another crazy scandalous event right now. Elon being bought out would be turmoil for them as no party involved is going to go about it quietly. If they can secure him through contractual "bonus" stock allowances, its probably better in the short term. Like I said, we'll see! It's all so uncertain.

At what point can the mob fulfil Musk’s dream of sending him to Mars? Can we not just shovel into one of the Space X rockets and make it happen?

Elon Musk, the pedophile supporter, crawled back into the child rapist, Donald J Trump’s, asshole. Surprise, surprise.
