DOGE-Master Elon Musk issued an ultimatum to federal employees on February 25th saying in a post on his social media platform X that federal employees – untold millions of them – must respond to an email justifying the work they completed this week or resign.
Being the good sport that he is Musk submitted his own list as an example of a “good week'”:
Five things I did this week to justify my federal job to myself:
Installed invisible puppet strings on Trump Introduced neurolink biochips into Trump’s Diet Cokes Ignored two of my children’s health crises because…..well….I was busy working Cut myself shaving with my CPAC honorary gold chainsaw Declared Trump a Non Player Character in my new video game
A quick bit of background . . . Yesterday, Tuesday, March 5, 2024, a date that may well live in infamy, Elon Musk met with Maximus Trump to discuss, apparently, presidential campaign funding. On the surface, as signaled by Musk, it did not go well for Trump. The generally mendacious Musk sought to offer assurance of his intentions with this X/Twitter posting: “Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President.” In regard to stiffing Trump, as you see, showing an even-handed approach, Musk offered not a glimmer of joy to President Biden either. In recent days, he’s indicated that Biden’s immigration policy is akin to “treason,” indicating he has no understanding of the law of treason, nor of voter registration laws when he opined Biden is “importing voters” for Democrats. Given Elon’s MAGA streak his sandbagging of Biden is according to Hoyle. But Trump?
Musk wrote, “just to be clear,” but Musk himself treats “clear” as opaque mud, as a license to steal. For example, the sleazy Musk could effectively support Trump by donating indirectly, for example, to one or more of his PACs, like the Make America Great Again PAC, aka, around here, the Pauper Street Person PAC. He could also, on the sly, purchase Trump assets, although, even for a Trump/Musk dynamic duo, this would be difficult to do given the oversight over his businesses imposed by his fraud trial judgment.
But how about this? Musk loans Trump a godless number of millions. Collateral? The Musk-related promises he’ll get in return after Trump takes office. Those promises need not be cash to have enormous cash value, all they’d need in most cases would be Trump’s signature on a bill that provides Musk’s businesses certain valuable concessions hidden within a 1,000 page tax bill. Musk might be offered a cabinet position, like Secretary of Musk-Related Matters. Valuable government funds for driverless automatic commercial jets might find a way into his Musk’s capable hands. And there’s no end to the space programs that may need a futurist lunatic at the helm, if Newt Gingrich is unavailable.
Kidding aside, there is no way that Musk will not become involved in Trump’s campaign. Have you met him? And he’s not exactly a “campaign adviser” kind of guy. He’s a cento-billionaire, who unlike most billionaires, likely has cash available, or superlative credit, if needed or desired, to loan Maximus Trump any cash he needs. This could help the poor man pony up: $83+ million owed E. Jean Carroll; nearly $500 million owed to New York; untold millions more for future defamation victims; galactically large legal fees; some left over for future divorce settlements; and (hopefully) money for prison canteen purchases.
Neither Trump nor Musk possess any moral qualities or legal fears that would prevent them from striking a bargain. How would we like Elon Musk as a silent partner to the presidency? This would have been nearly unimaginable in the old world B.T. (Before Trump), but this kind of devil’s bargain is now staring us in the face.
