So let me get this straight, the guy who claimed that “Empathy is a weakness” now wants empathy for himself. Maybe someone should point out to him that him wanting empathy is a weakness.
Almost. What Elon wants is sympathy. While some might feel that poor, poor Elon was serving selflessly - out of empathy - he feels no regret, no guilt, nothing but self-pity. He certainly won't get any from anyone I know. Maybe Bill Maher.
We saw what he did when he took over Twitter, going from 7,500 employees down to just 1,500, firing those who monitored content, and many top executives. Some filed lawsuit for severance pay. Remember the photo of him walking out carrying a sink? He, trump and doge need to be flushed down the toilet.
He's in so much trouble - he can't crawl out from under all the stupid stuff he did to support trump, who has left him to drown in it, just like trump did to rudy.
"Lindell is a part of several other lawsuits, including a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems in 2021.
Lindell is also on the hook to pay $5 million to a software engineer who was able to debunk data Lindell claimed proved that China interfered in the 2020 election, a federal judge ruled last year, USA TODAY reported.
You couldn’t be more right. Thank you. Most of his nonsense was reversed by courts but not all of it. He gets to keep those contracts unless the Dems get back in and strip them out . We should Confiscate Starlink and use it to give everyone in the US free internet access. We need to also pass privacy laws like the EU has.
I am pretty sure I read Ukraine no longer uses Starlink. If true, that's a good thing. I suspect Musk has contracts with Russia negotiated through his regular calls with Putin.
I want my money back, damnit. That past faced drug addict made off with the heist of the century. My only consolation is it also cost him billions because he is really just that stupid.
I believe he made a net profit from his over-priced trucks being sold to the DOD, and extension of star-link "services" and NASA connections - although his guy just lost the top job there. His fingers are in so many pies!
I’ve had a realization that Starlink only links musk to those who have it. I take back my comment, I don’t want Starlink and neither should the rest of us.
Everything Trump Touches Dies. Great book by Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project, and a truism of the most despicable person to ever disgrace our White House.
Thank you Brian, for this piece - succinctly laying out all the ways Musk enriched himself while decimating services that truly benefited America and the world. I hope the judicial branch continues to pause further action, and perhaps we can reinstate those programs and professionals. Hoping Elon's fortunes and self-worth continue to tank.
Yep… that’s always been the big red flag… if you were serious about waste and abuse, the pentagon would be the FIRST budget to assess. There was no methodology used… any corporate CEO who handled business process reengineering project this way would have been removed long ago.
We don't talk enough about the obvious--people died, are dying, will die in the future, because Musk didn't want to pay the paltry fines those agencies would have leveled at the end of their investigations. He should be tried for crimes against humanity, and stripped of every goddamned dime as a warning to others like him.
Thanks for outlining the depth of corruption. Where is the oversight? Where is the outrage? This administration has come in with a bulldozer and wiped out decades of infrastructure. Congress is dragging their feet and the media is capitulating.
Just what every Republican wanted was to undo the Federal Government. The likes of Texas Gov Getting $6b in reimbursements for all the crap he is state did to kill immigrants wire the bussing, flying to different states. He ask DJT for $ back just like making Babbitt family rich for he illegal crap but NOT A DAMN DIME TO 1 police officer for 1/6/21 REPUBLICANS REFUSED TO PUT A PLAQUE UP HONORING the who protected the Capitol that day.
These republicans should go down in history as the worst Congress in the History of America & never let 1 Republican forget the damage each and everyone in CONGRESS is responsible for ALLOWING DJT TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. EVERY SINGLE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DEPT DJT HAS ATTACKED, EVERY SINGLE ALLIANCE WE HAD THEY ALLOWED DJT TO DESTROY Over 200years of work Americans have died & FAUGHT for to save this Country. President passed infrastructure law to help our entire Country rebuild bridges, roads, buildings what happens DJT tears AMERICA APART.
SO YES Americans are pissed we must conned to Protest, Boycott, demand those in Congress who stand by their Oath to the Constitution must take Charge and Impeach DJT, VANCE & REMOVE LIAR JOHNSON
THEN WE REBUILD BECAUSE we know how to stand up to the Bullies, drug abusers, we will reform SCOTUS , term limits on all Federal Elected and Highest Court in America.
Also we must put in place a special organization to over see our Courts so they can enforce the laws of the land. Like Adam Kinzinger stated so clearly was we must unfortunately limit a President Duty’s, I bb say limit EO as well as they can’t undo do any FED AGENCIES OR REMOVE $$ Congress has placed
No felons may run for any Fed elected office or work in Fed Gov..
really Sad Republicans have allowed an evil man to do harm to America. It makes me angry as hell we have to do this all because a corrupt group Federalist Society, DJT & elected Republicans choose to destroy Americans lives. Kidnapping citizens without due process. Using white supremacy people to throw out and in horrible conditions without due process.
Americans will remember for years to come what Republicans did to immigrants and American citizens what Some Americans had to put up with from 2016 to current hate, racism, what Republicans with a push from DJT have divided America. When Americans allow a man filled with hate, Racism and anger to use $$ to buy people, elections as well as abusing power of Office of the President American have no choice but to fight back hard to put back in place the respect of the office of the Presidency. Never allow another Wannabe Dictator to step foot in People’s House again.
I was thinking want our ancestors must think of us now allowing such an evil person minded & Greedy peoples to destroy what took our ancestors lives to keep
So now we must do all we can as fast as we can to remove & restore our WH back never allow another Wannabe Dictator to even consider a run at WH.
We must take the money out of Running for Any Office. Like Adam Kinzinger stated when money becomes the issue all else fades to that back. We must make sure anyone running knows about our Allie’s, adversaries, what America stands for! We can’t be supportive of Dictatorship nor should they be allowed to come into America under false flags. Like Orban. So please we must never forget what DJT has done remember we must always make the WH a Job so we must treat as such so they apply with Resume and knowledge for our Country.
No bankruptcy, they run a successful business, have knowledge of our adversary. Can’t have felons no family is to work for WH. If they don’t adhere to the Constitution prior to Conventions they can’t run as a Political candidate. Like DJT didn’t adhere to rules so he out. No more letting things go.
A Damn Corporations won’t tolerate neither should Americans.
We have alot to fix in America to remove DJT fix in WH as he still is in decline and no one says a word but a democrat they would scream.
There is no oversight. There is plenty of rage within some of the American people, but as long as Congress keeps sucking on their pacifiers nothing will be done. These people are like babies tied to Mother Trump's apron strings. I cannot for the life of me, figure out what in God's name is holding these people back from impeaching a madman - are they all hoping to get rich????
It must be an incredibly hard process to impeach a president. With republicans in charge, they won't allow it. Allowing corruption to continue means we under tyrannical rule.
How about tyrannical AND maniacal rule? I saw some clips of Trump today (6th) on MTN pod cast, and the truly SCARY thing about Trump - out comes what we know as lies from his mouth, but he truly believes what he is saying. He absolutely does not realize his mumbo-jumbo is unfounded, unrealistic. He's so deeply delusional, he can't really be accused of lying, as he doesn't sit and ponder, or pre-meditate these untruths...all Trump spouts, just pours out of his subconscious from some far-away recesses in his mind, which accounts for all the chaos.
In some form or fashion, I believe Trump doesn't know the difference between "right" & "wrong," and that brings us into maniacal rule, crimes against humanity, mirroring his hero Hitler, tyranny, and last but not least - rightly, justifiable insanity. He is not fit to rule.
It comes from a lifetime of lies, cheating, and grift, and never being held accountable. You're right that there's a subconscious mindset that is built on delusions of grandeur, bullying, and power. He has never lived the life of a normal person which makes him think he is better than anyone. "Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a mental health condition characterized by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a need for excessive admiration, and a lack of empathy. Individuals with NPD often have an inflated sense of self-importance, a preoccupation with their own achievements and fantasies, and a belief that they are special and unique. They may also exhibit exploitative behaviors, a sense of entitlement, and a tendency to be envious of others."
Boy, if this NPD doesn't describe Donald Trump to a T, I don't know who it was written for! Thanks for sending the proper info Larry. I do continue to believe he is pushing the limits, standing on the edge of a cliff, rocking the boat so to speak, of his total collapse into psychotic lunacy...who thinks of the things he does? What other President has EVER acted in such a completely illogical, out to lunch, unrealistic, threatening, cruel, greedy, untruthful, way? Where does he come up with this shit in the middle of the night when he should be sleeping? My God, the things he has done...dismantling our government, illegally sending people off to foreign prisons, threatening Americans, threatening Canada, threatening Greenland, threatening the WORLD, not helping Ukraine unless "he" gets something back for it, flirting with Putin, wanting to turn Gaza and the Holy Land into some stinking resort, flirting with Saudi's and all the "bad" guys for that matter. His grandiose idea of becoming the Pope - if this is not insanity, I don't know what is. He is bound & determined to become the first Communist President of America, turning this country into something that should not be. Ever. Why is it so damn difficult to get rid of Trump? EVERY person in government with the least little power to move this solution along, should be willing to sacrifice everything or they don't truly belong in the position. That means sacrifice their own wealth, job, houses, whatever, to get this done, get Trump out of the White House. I believe it's "fear of loss" behind the lack of motivation in this matter. And to this I say, "Fear not, a thousand blessings await you."
He does not care about his reputation. He got access to ALL OUR DATA and anything else that would help him personally. It was a success for Elon. Let's not call this a victory.
Yes. I keep reading how fElon “failed” in his govt role. But he successfully fired or gutted all who were investigating him, he successfully gained billions$ in new govt contracts, and he successfully implemented the “white genocide” myth to strengthen the white supremacists. With his gutting of USAID, he has blood on his hands. Sadly, there is no accountability for what he has done. We are watching him and the most corrupt administration in history destroy our country and turn it into a banana republic. I weep for my children’s futures.
It's nearly midnight and I'm sitting all alone reading comments - a favorite pass-time. I come to your comment and can't help but giggle, which on second reading turned into laughter. Thanks for the "flabby cult leader and his maga cult," along with the, "teeth gnashing." Very clever, very funny.
I don’t understand how, if we can rework the entire medical system for opioid addiction, we can’t get rid of these F’ng MONEY ADDICTS. They’re truly sick and taking us down with them.
When P47 got away with firing the Inspector Generals at 17 (now more) agencies, I knew his plan to divert funds from competitive bidders and tip over the "even playing field" was in play. I know from my 36 years as a fed that Inspector Generals are the incorruptible line that puts the teeth in "non-partisan" and follow the law book. Money media and the online conspiracy addicts seem obsessed with finding the .1% of instances where the government did something illegal, but ignore the fact that it's reputation and court record are irrefutably the best in the world. Should our own families and lives be so 'correct'? The USAID passed every audit since its founding in 1947, and I can tell you that in my career with USAID over 36 years I never ONCE lied or stole anything. My Dad, on the other hand, worked as a corporate executive. He told me "never work for the corporations, son" they lie and make you lie every day. I took his advice. America needs to realize that money media is NOT telling you what's going on - and corporations lie for profit every minute of the day. Caveat emptor as they say. And for Elon, putting a contract and privilege ghoul in charge of the government is like asking Al Capone to look after Ft. Knox.
is it really funny to you? I'm saddened and disheartened by the in your face trashing of public trust and using this misplaced trust (in Musk) to further enrich himself. I hope you are similarly struck by this - or ?
Well, to be fair, I thought he sucked long before he trashed our country.
Don't fall for Elon Musk's Pity Party.
Don't Fall for Poor Defeated Elon—It's Just a Press Campaign!
https://kathleenweber.substack.com/p/dont-fall-for-poor-defeated-elon

Pretty rich, don’t you think?
I don't have one speck of pity for him. He is getting what he deserves, but he deserves much more of this!
Ditto
He’s the new pillow guy
Way worse...pillow guy didn't actually harm so many people in truly dire ways with his adle-brained schemes
He just sold crappy pillows. elon is ACTIVELY MURDERING AMERICANS and STEALING *OUR* money!
and stole our personal data that has now been sold to Peter Thiel.
We saw what he did when he took over Twitter, going from 7,500 employees down to just 1,500, firing those who monitored content, and many top executives. Some filed lawsuit for severance pay. Remember the photo of him walking out carrying a sink? He, trump and doge need to be flushed down the toilet.
The pillow man was a harmless fool who recklessly lost his money. Elon is robbing the country for his own gain.
The difference between crack and ketamine?
Worse
on steroids
it's common knowledge that he uses ketamine, way too much of it by the looks of him...he's addicted
And potentially headed for a fatal overdose given the reports of kidney problems due to his use
On steroids...
Speaking of Pillow Guy? Guess he's completely broke now? Living in a van down by the river giving emotional support rallies?
Whatever happened to the pillow man ❓ do you have any idea?
He's in so much trouble - he can't crawl out from under all the stupid stuff he did to support trump, who has left him to drown in it, just like trump did to rudy.

In December 2024, a judge in Minnesota ordered MyPillow to pay DHL, a global delivery service, nearly $778,000 for unpaid bills and legal costs. The Minnesota Star Tribune reported in early March that FedEx sued MyPillow for allegedly not paying more than $9 million in shipping costs." https://www.sctimes.com/story/news/2025/04/18/mypillow-founder-mike-lindell-says-he-has-no-money-due-to-legal-fights/83159866007/
He won't live long enough to craw out from under all the debt that trump support put him in because he drank too much of the Kool-aid.

I don't feel an ounce of pity for this guy who sold crappy product and gave away his soul to the devil.
Absolutely. Another fool.
Actually, I think they are all worse.
You couldn’t be more right. Thank you. Most of his nonsense was reversed by courts but not all of it. He gets to keep those contracts unless the Dems get back in and strip them out . We should Confiscate Starlink and use it to give everyone in the US free internet access. We need to also pass privacy laws like the EU has.
Wow!!! What an idea!! Free Starlink for all!!
I am pretty sure I read Ukraine no longer uses Starlink. If true, that's a good thing. I suspect Musk has contracts with Russia negotiated through his regular calls with Putin.
No better than an illegal arms dealer supplying both sides of a conflict.
Better, we need to regulate what kind of ugly can’t be thrown out to the whole world, arrest them!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want my money back, damnit. That past faced drug addict made off with the heist of the century. My only consolation is it also cost him billions because he is really just that stupid.

Too many pies.
Melon is the poster boy for a Constitutional wealth cap.
At least on campaign contributions, which the Supreme Court took away.
I’ve had a realization that Starlink only links musk to those who have it. I take back my comment, I don’t want Starlink and neither should the rest of us.
Everything Trump Touches Dies. Great book by Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project, and a truism of the most despicable person to ever disgrace our White House.
Thanks for the book reference; sounds like one I need to find!
Published by Free Press.2018. " A Republican Strategist Gets Real About the Worst President Ever".
Oh, my Gods! I had no idea that was a book title! I honestly thought it was an expression, and a very accurate expression at that.
Another POS who has fekked up our lives to enrich his own…let him be the pilot on the rocket to Mars
these people need to be locked up, “ lock them up “ the entire grifter family plus the clown cabinet 🤡
YES!!! His T shirt says he wants to go to Mars. Let him go and take several of his
bro -s with him!!
Very funny comment - piloting a rocket to Mars; I am confused though, who's piloting, Musk, Trump, or the pillow guy?
One way, no return trip!
1 way voyage
Scammer

Unfortunately that’s not true. I’ve seen this at companies too.
I worked for a Fortune 500 company and was part of a team who did this work. I suppose it’s possible that not all companies have the same standards.
We don't talk enough about the obvious--people died, are dying, will die in the future, because Musk didn't want to pay the paltry fines those agencies would have leveled at the end of their investigations.

One of the cases against him just got moved forward to the discovery stage.

You said it! Our situation is so bad - the level of corruption and cruelty in this administration is so high that it boggles the mind.
We first need a 2/3 + majority Democrats in both houses of Congress.

Excellent thread
