Summary
“I have been in the same room with Elon, and he always tries to be funny. And he’s not funny. Like, at all,” a senior Trump administration official told Rolling Stone. “He makes these jokes and little asides and smiles and then looks almost hurt if you don’t lap up his humor. I keep using the word ‘annoying’; a lot of people who have to deal with him do.”
Musk’s insufferable behavior has caused several high-ranking officials to walk out of important meetings and sincerely question if he was high on drugs, the publication reports, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio is said to be barely able to hide his immense dislike of the DOGE chief and State Department officials routinely call him “Crazy Uncle Elon” behind his back.
Other officials have suggested subjecting Musk to a mandatory drug test, which he has said is a “great idea” for federal employees, as a way to push him out of the door. The Tesla CEO has denied taking any illegal drugs, although numerous people claim to have witnessed him use LSD, cocaine, Ecstasy, and mushrooms behind closed doors, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Musk is so poor all he has is money.
He thought having more money would make him powerful and therefore likable, and he’s in the FA stage.
If he decided to do something like solve world hunger instead of buying Twitter a lot of people would begrudgingly give him some respect at least.
He’s a narcissist. He psychologically is unable to think that way. For him power comes from mone, so he cannot give it away. If he’s not rich, then he’s not special. He’s no one.
A shy guy who desperately wants to be a nerd’s nerd somehow gets tangled with the party of RAM truck buying adult frat bros who see themselves as “alpha”. I just can’t figure out the culture fit, and articles like this don’t surprise me at all. Like, isn’t Trump the kind of guy who would endlessly bully someone for saying they play videogames at all?
There are two main types of “conservative” now. The old school big truck lovin’, god-fearin’, beer guzzling, anti-environmentalist yeehaw types, and the “newer” 4chan-posting, edgelording, neckbearded, gamergatin’, crypto-lovin’ internet troll types that have arose in the last twenty-five years with the proliferation of the Internet. Elon is trying to fit in with the latter.
^ This. Never forget, Trump’s first term was pushed to success by 4 chan. He is and always has been a 4chan president. He is the emolbodiement of everything /b/
“newer” 4chan-posting, edgelording,
You mean asmongold grandpa?
He’s so used to being the boss and having everyone always laugh at his shitty jokes that he thinks he’s funny.
He’s not a politician and has no charisma or any way of getting people to do what he wants outside of ordering them to, which is why he’ll never do well in politics where building and maintaining relationships in your coalition is one of your main jobs.
I’m a killjoy: I doubt that this article is accurate, or if it even matters. I think articles like this exist to placate. I wouldn’t trust anything that a “senior administration official” tells Rolling Stone.
Absolutely, these looks like a pat on the back to everyone to make them feel better about Elon and their country.
Reeks of bullshit.
I’m a bit confused, cause Trump isn’t funny. It must be awful to be in a room with either of them.
Trump is funny to conservatives. The kind who laugh at the attack helicopter joke. Elon isn’t even funny to conservatives, which is kind of impressive.
Trump is best viewed as an insult comic
Im tired of pig fucking fascists regardless if they’re funny or not.
They are definitely NOT “tired” of his money though.
“behavior has caused several high-ranking officials to walk out of important meetings and sincerely question if he was high on drugs”
Bet you dollars to donuts that he is, so, yes.
People are leaking to get Musk kicked out. Imagine how ill-behaved one must be to get kicked out of that room.
Emphasis on the plural DRUGS.
The richest man in the world isn’t trying to help you. He’s helping himself to whatever he wants. Super bad idea.
I choose to see the good in Elon; he may have finally made the cheese hat too cringe to wear.
But at what cost?
At what cost?
To lose the Wisconsin Supreme Court election: $21m.
As a wisconsinite this deeply upsets me
Your culture is wrong, I’m sorry
You don’t like cheese?
Cheese is food not fashion!
¿Porque no los dos?
Can you eat the so-called cheese hats?
No, the cheese is a lie, the crimes never end
I have unironically seen an edible cheese hat. Check mate
I don’t believe anything what this Administration says.
Not to mention the constant k-hole he seems to be in
Trump administration photoshop in 3, 2, 1…
All world-historical personages happen twice; first as Rasputin, then as Musk.
We can only hope they all end the same way twice.
Rasputin had a huge dick whereas Musk is a huge dick. Math checks out.
Who’s the Russian Queen now?
Trump officials deserve everything that is coming to them, and that includes dealing with an attention-seeking narcissistic billionaire who owns their boss.
