Elon Musk has exited the White House—physically, at least.

Donald Trump’s “special government employee” is no longer working within the DOGE offices as he prepares his exit from the Trump administration and focuses more on saving his floundering businesses from failure.

“Instead of meeting with him in person, I’m talking to him on the phone, but it’s the same net effect,” White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles told the New York Post in an interview discussing the Trump administration’s first 100 days.

        as with our last civil war it will be our bottom tier of society pitted against itself. the sides will, as with last time, be truly horrifically and abjectly evil vs evil but in a way that the most marginalized have some hope of survival under. our only way to a better society afterwards will be to actually do reconstruction this time and not to just half ass it because for the second side they view profit in being gentle to the truly evil.

        funny how everytime there’s a big war about whether or not Ur-Fascism is bad, the winning side selects a handful of losers to protect and keep safe, and then those losers become the basis for a new fascist movement. see also: operation paperclip

          I don’t know if people are down voting because they don’t understand your run on sentences, or because they disagree with controversial truth. We got Wikipedia pages with prideful profiles of full blown Nazis labeled as American heros, and people will still plug their ears and downvote.

            i think people don’t get that that the union army wasn’t uncomplicated good guys. the emancipation proclamation wasn’t declared for moral reasons but for strategic ones. the goal of the union wasn’t to free the slaves but to preserve the union.
