C'est pas encore confirmé mais Politico en parle aujourd'hui :
"Elon Musk devrait quitter ses fonctions auprès du président américain dans les prochaines semaines. Donald Trump l’a fait savoir à sa garde rapprochée, dont plusieurs membres de son cabinet. Bien que le chef de l’Etat continue d’apprécier son travail, le multimilliardaire, à la tête du “département de l’efficacité gouvernementale”, est de plus en plus vu comme un allié encombrant par l’administration américaine et les deux hommes ont convenu que l’homme d’affaires devait retourner à ses affaires."

Analysis: "Musk has a simple diagnosis of what’s ailing America: It’s being destroyed by empathy."

"Musk has argued that empathy is a suicidal trait that is a driving force behind civilizational extinction".

The west should get tough: "bar its doors to immigrants of a certain type & endure temporary hardship so... the woke mind virus will die.”

Psychopathy is marked by lack of empathy &, hence, conscience.

“They’ve got some very bad things going on in South Africa,” #Trump goes on a #ConspiracyTheory based tangent when he outlines the reciprocal tariff against that nation. Trump & #Musk have repeatedly amplified false claims about the persecution of #white Afrikaners in #SouthAfrica, & made an exception to his refugee ban to screen Afrikaners for #refugee status. Trump included in his tangent a typical criticism of the #media for how it covers South Africa.


USA! USA! Stripped to the bone

“The DOGE Axe Comes for Libraries and Museums

The Trump admin, with #Musk’s so-called Dept of Govt Efficiency, has gutted a small federal agency that provides funding to libraries and museums nationwide.

This threatens student field trips, classes for seniors, and access to digital library services.”

" #Trump has told his inner circle, including members of his Cabinet, that #Musk will soon be stepping back from his 👉🏼current role👈🏼... remains pleased with Musk & DOGE..." but 👋🏼

"It also represents a stark shift in Trump-Musk rel'ship from a month ago, when WH officials, allies were predicting Musk was “here to stay” & Trump would find a way to blow past the 130-day time limit"

EXACTLY what a #SOCIOPATH would say:

#ElonMusk has a…diagnosis of what’s *ailing* #America: It’s being destroyed by #empathy. In a long interview w/Joe Rogan, in numerous tweets…, #Musk has argued that “empathy” is a “suicidal” trait that is a driving force behind civilizational extinction. It is time, he believes, for “the West”…to bar its doors to #immigrants of a *certain type* & endure “temporary hardship” so govt can be transformed & “the woke mind virus will die.”

”After being handed a bruising defeat in the state’s Supreme Court election on Tuesday, Elon Musk angrily demanded that Wisconsin pay him back “in full”… “I want $20 million wired into my account by end of business Wednesday,” the furious South African declared. “And I want it all in cash, none of that worthless crypto shit.” “Until I am refunded, every voter I bribed is my employee,” he continued.” (The Borowitz Report)

Loser says what?

#ElonMusk is so full of crap, he claims that the #Wisconsin #VoterID requirement on the ballot “was the most important thing.”

It literally was already required of Wisconsin voters, the amendment merely codified it.

They are incapable of admitting when they lose.

Susan Crawford was projected to win an open seat on the #Wisconsin Supreme Court race, keeping the high court’s 4-3 liberal majority intact and delivering a blow to Elon #Musk and #Trump, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Juhu! Wegen des Interesses u.a. am #Langzeitismus von Elon #Musk, an der Bedeutung von #KI und den Taktiken des fossilen Lobbyismus zog der Patmos - #Verlag das Erscheinen meines neuen Buches "Verschwörungsmythen" (2025) um einen ganzen Monat vor!

Ab heute ist es erhältlich und vorhin brachte mir die Post dann auch das traditionelle Erstexemplar.💟 Freue mich sehr & bin gespannt, ob das Medium #Buch derzeit wirklich eine Renaissance erleben kann! 🤓📚🙏 #Verschwörungsmythen scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-…

"Guess who showed up to defend #Tesla? The Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, and a guy dressed as Hitler.

As #Musk continues to tear through the federal government, and Tesla’s stock price continues to plummet, the organizers of the Tesla Takedown movement have pledged to continue to protest, with the movement now reaching other parts of the world as well." #TeslaTakedown

Fend for Yourself: Under Trump, Consumer Protection Bureau’s Probes of Big Tech and Finance Firms Freeze Up

Companies may avoid consequences for alleged wrongdoing as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau drops lawsuits against Capital One and Rocket Homes and pauses investigations into Meta and others — including providers of medical credit cards.

#Technofeudalists and the perceived #AI threat incongruence

(2/n)

... importantly, there is, in my view, no discrepancy on a strategic (intent) level:

a) #Musk's primary goal is, as you know, to transform #humanity into a #MultiplanetarySpecies. Colonizing the closest possible habitable planet (#Mars, #Terraforming) is indispensable for this lifty aim. That will cost the global economy billions of dollars for many years, that will then be missing for feeding the poor...


Best picture so far that describes the current situation in the White House

#Trump #Putin #musk #maga_plot #maga_faschismus


" #Wisconsin's attorney general on Sunday asked the liberal-controlled state Supreme Court to stop billionaire #Musk from handing over $1 million checks to two voters, an appeal that came hours before #Trump's ally planned the giveaway at an evening rally.

An appeals court on Saturday rejected the legal challenge by Democrat Josh Kaul, who argues that Musk's offer violates a state law prohibiting giving anything of value in exchange for a vote" abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/wi…


Just a worthwhile reminder for #TeslaTakedown folks: #Tesla was never a real car company under #Musk. It was always an unprofitable grift propped up by massive government subsidies. The bubble was always going to pop at some point. It's always been vulnerable. There will never be robot taxis, or robots, or any of the other bullshit he's always promised to pump up the hype. That was always a lie.

The work you're doing is great and important, and you will win. Elon will find more ways to dump money into Tesla to prop up the stock, but, in the end, it will collapse. Tesla should have died a long time ago. You are attacking the only thing Tesla has: image. Keep going, you will win.

Q - Do you know why #Musk invested so much in robots & #AI ?
A - Because that’s the only way by which he can hope to make any friends.

“Musk-Trump are creating the bloodily moronic situation in which the United States will have to fight wars to get the things that, just a few weeks ago, were there for the asking. And of course wars rarely turn out the way one expects.”
—Timothy Snyder, The Imperialism Has no Clothes
#musk #trump #usa


“The American imperialism directed towards Denmark and Canada is not just morally wrong. It is strategically disastrous. The United States has nothing to gain from it, and much to lose.”
—Timothy Snyder, The Imperialism Has no Clothes

“As with everything Musk-Trump does, however, the cui bono question about imperialism in Greenland is easy to answer: Russia benefits. Putin cannot contain his delight with American imperialism over Greenland. In generating artificial crises in relations with both Denmark and Canada, …the Trump people cut America loose from security gains and create a chaos in which Russia benefits.”
—Timothy Snyder, The Imperialism Has no Clothes

”…Vance opposes helping Ukraine, spreads Russian propaganda…, and is best known for yelling at Ukraine’s president in the Oval Office. …the response of Musk-Trump has been to ignore this larger reality completely while allowing Biden-era aid to Ukraine to come to an end. Denmark meanwhile has given more than four times as much aid to Ukraine, per capita, as does the United States.”

“Musk-Trump inherited a state with unprecedented power and functionality, and are taking it apart. They also inherited a set of alliances and relationships that underpinned the largest economy in world history. This too they are breaking.”

Money is pouring into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election so fast that political observers now believe it is likely to reach $100 million by Tuesday, election day.

Already, it has become the costliest judicial race in U.S. history.

Whoa, yesterday, #Trump illegally stripped #CollectiveBargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of #FederalWorkers in 18 different departments across multiple #FederalAgencies.

The admin stated that “Certain Federal unions have declared *#war* on President Trump’s agenda.”
