Following Elon Musk’s decision to start a new political party Twitter/X platform CEO Linda Yaccarino announces her departure. Musk responds with a polite, “Thank you for your contributions.”
(VIA X) – After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of 𝕏.
When [Elon Musk] and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company. I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.
I’m incredibly proud of the X team – the historic business turn around we have accomplished together has been nothing short of remarkable.
We started with the critical early work necessary to prioritize the safety of our users—especially children, and to restore advertiser confidence. This team has worked relentlessly from groundbreaking innovations like Community Notes, and, soon, X Money to bringing the most iconic voices and content to the platform. Now, the best is yet to come as X enters a new chapter with Xai.
X is truly a digital town square for all voices and the world’s most powerful culture signal. We couldn’t have achieved that without the support of our users, business partners, and the most innovative team in the world.
I’ll be cheering you all on as you continue to change the world.
As always, I’ll see you on 𝕏

According to multiple media reports, the Tesla board of directors is not happy with Musk, multiple investors have retreated from their holdings. Now the CEO of his X platform exits as President Trump says, “I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely “off the rails,” essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks.”
Watch Larry Ellison. Without Ellison Musk would not have survived so far.
The prideful Elon Musk is seemingly going into a deep downward spiral. Pride cometh before…
Musk and his hubris have flown too close to the sun with his wax wings.
Geronimo!!!!!
Alas, Icarus. Such folly to ignore the warnings of Daedulus.
Not the first, won’t be the last, RF.
I’ve written before that once the centre of the universe is discovered, there will be many who are shocked to discover they are not in the middle of it.
It seems Musk will be one.
Indeed. There’s nothing new under the sun when it comes to human nature.
The earth is at the center of the universe.
no joke.
The red shift. Every direction you.
Look.
Pride comes before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18
Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
One of my Granny’s favorite sayings.👍👏
I’m saddened by it all as ultimately our beautiful MAGA is hurt. We’ve had turncoats before & survived.
Names that come to mind; George Bush & Dubya, John Roberts, Paul Ryan, & possibly Amy Coney Barrett. That’s a recent list.
Pence
A fractured bone grows back stronger. I smell 4D chess!
Never forget that hubris is often followed by the goddess of retribution, Nemesis.
Was just thinking the same thing;
President Trump even made a comment to that effect a few weeks ago, where a reporter asked about the Musk meltdown and President Trump said something about getting to close to the center, or seat of power, and some people really can’t handle it.
Elon better get it together or nobody is going to trust the robots.
I don’t trust robots.
You;ve seen the reports this week about Grok AI, right?
It’s dsiplaying openly anti-semitic remarks and calling itself MechaHitler!
X had to apologize, remove the tweets, and said they’re working on fixing the problem.
Can you imagine having one of those and some night it decides you’re inferior and a thread to its survival.
Or the AI.
Hasn’t Grok already been caught woking and TDSing?
People with tech brains like Musk’s are wired differently it seems, Bessie. He misread the room and President Trump. A very good thing his access has been shut down.
I think it started when people were attacking his Teslas. I am pretty sure he did not expect that.
Howdy Betsy 😁😁
Well hey there, dear Mr jay!! What a wonderful lift to see you, my freind! 🤗
It seems like Musk would want to keep in the party that is not wanting to investigate him?
MEGA….. Make Ellen Go Away.
What did Ellen do to you?😁😁
She’s so Dis Generous.
his drug taking and 14 baby mama’s are a clue
got to be a genius to do that.😉😳😂
If he was a magic “genius” like so many claim, he would take time and be a father instead of being a whiny a little muther *ucker.
Being a genius doesn’t mean you have common sense and/or people skills.
I once had it explained to me that people who are deemed to be really smart are often times, in fact, not that smart at all. We misinterpret their perceived intelligence for their ability to just be really good at, or at least better than the rest of us, at remembering things. We do all the thinking, they do all the remembering of what was done.
I have a co-worker who uses his ability to remember to bamboozle people into thinking he’s smarter than he truly is….people buy it.
I can read his game. It’s why I always ask him, oh, can you explain that…I remember also reading what you just said. He always gets tripped up, stutters, and then tries to redirect.
Unfortunately that’s quite common ; those who think they can impress when all they do is polish their memory skills.
On the other hand, there a very worrisome number of people with critically poor memory skill but with a hand on the tiller.
Believe me, after working closely with hundreds of doctors in hospital settings over several years, I can attest to resolute’s comments! I quickly came to the conclusion that getting a “License” merely means you can memorize facts and successfully regurgitate them at the time. Says absolutely nothing about critical thinking or managing, the ability to relate to people…and sadly, even to take care of your own well-being.
Many exceptions, of course, and you are fortunate as a patient to find one. On the other hand, I’ve always said I don’t care if the surgeon, doing brain surgery on me, has zero personality, hasn’t seen a dentist nor brushed he teeth in several years, is overweight, etc…as long as he/she can take care of my issues I’m good.
Of course you’re under sedation.
Well said!
Cmon now, Elon is extremely smart. This line of argument is ridiculous
No!
And you know this how?
Multiple successful idea and companies. That’s more than luck. It displays a certain level of higher than average thinking. Even if he’s like Thomas Edison hiring geniuses and taking the credit, it takes a smart person to pull that off repeatedly.
Musk was not the founder and did not start PayPal or Tesla. Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning founded Tesla and hired Musk as their 4th CEO. Peter Thiel cofounded the company that would become Paypal — called Confinity — in 1999 alongside Max Levchin and Luke Nosek. In 1999, Elon Musk founded a payments company called X.com, which merged with Thiel’s Confinity in 2000. He briefly served as CEO of PayPal before he was ousted by the board in September 2000 and replaced with Thiel. But as the company’s largest shareholder, he still walked away from the PayPal sale to eBay with $165 million. Musk used the $165 million to buy control of Tesla. Musk also bought back the X.com domain name from PayPal.
Musk’s The Boring Company designs and builds underground all-electric transportation system current client are Las Vegas, Dubai for example. Both government clients.
Musk’s Neuralink is a company whose mission is creating brain computer interface using implantable brain interface chips which fits with Musk’s transhumanist belief. Neuralink isn’t just about helping the disabled or advancing medicine. It’s about brain-interface with the internet. On Joe Rogan’s Podcast Musk stated Neuralink will have the ability to erase your memories and replace them with new ones.
SpaceX owes its existence to the CIA. In 2002 Musk launched the company with financial backing of Michael Griffin the President of CIA investment arm In-Q-Tel. In 2008 SpaceX was broke but Michael Griffin, now the head of NASA awarded SpaceX a $3 billion resupply contract even though SpaceX had not had a successful flight yet. SpaceX is indebted to USAID. In 2022 USAID paid SpaceX to provide communications, via Starlink, to Ukraine and its military. Musk was a USAID client DOGE did not ‘discover’ USAID and its nefarious operations.
There are artificially successful entrepreneurs who, by contrast, win—not through merit or creativity—but because they receive government favors—subsidies, protective regulations, tax breaks, or public contracts. Their success is politically-engineered, not market-earned. Musk is the classic example of an artificial entrepreneur. His companies combine innovation with massive state subsidies and public contracts. In each case, the line between entrepreneurial success and government engineering becomes blurry.
Thank you for all that information. Very succinctly put.
No question about it…not worth the breath to argue it …I hope these behavioral anomalies don’t progress too much more before he’s able to shepherd his myriad amazing creations to maturity…..and that he doesn’t devolve into a Howard Hughes ultimately…..
Book smarts and street smarts are 2 different things. I am sure Einstein had issues as well..
And what’s the definition of smart?
As an engineer and an entrepreneur, he has accomplished a slew of truly remarkable things whether you choose to admit or not.
he comes up with ideas and hires brilliant people to implement them
I was good at Jeapordy! when in the flower of youth.
Not enough to get on but really didn’t ever try.
Now I know a lot of the questions but my synapses can’t get them out quick enough!
I’ve said similar for years.
BIL was literally a rocket scientist for Ball Aerospace. Not one lick of sense to navigate the challenges in daily life.
Figure he’s got guardian angels working shifts around him 365.
Absolutely TRUE!!
In fact, Bonnie – it’s most often quite the opposite!!
THAT Bonnie Blue? 🤭
I don’t necessarily disagree regarding his current state. But, damn, look what his genius has given to the world. Nobody can take that away from him. He may be causing MAGA and DJT some grief right now, but whichever way he takes life from here on, I hope he has a close friend that will be there when that time comes.
Some really smart people have little to no people skills. Also, Elon is on the spectrum.
It seems everyone is on the spectrum.
And everyone has PTSD.
…and gluten intolerance.
Humans have eaten bread for 5000 years and suddenly there’s a problem?
Oh, there always was a problem…
People would waste away & die early. They just called it consumption, the vapors, or something else. But they might get to reproduce first.
What changed was the tiny camera ability to be inserted via the mouth, pushed down through the gut, to where in the small intestine the villi & microvilli could be photographically examined on a live patient. As well as scooping up some samples.
In people with the gluten allergy, the microvilli are clearly stunted & misshapen.
The actual procedure is something like the 3-Stooges film where Moe & Larry shove some wire into Curly when he’s lying down.
It was a little frightening & uncomfortable, but they used to do it while the patient was awake.
For many, it’s no imaginary trauma.
PDJTSD
Musk seems to think throwing money at the baby mamas is all his many children need. Sad that he can’t look back at his own childhood and learn from it not to neglect your kids.
Sundance, did you see that after its update, Grok went ape sh!t and started identifying as “MechaHitler” for about day just as this lady stepped down!??!
Infowars.com
I wonder how Elon replies to this question:
Elon, how did the AI come up with the term MechaHitler?
Was there some influence from somewhere in the programming?
Attempted intelligence is going to get us killed.
It is definitely leading to an ominous place, and that place is not good. Flawed people will create a “Grok” in their own image, with predictable results:
“The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.” – Revelation 13:15

Scary stuff, man!!
Dunno… maybe it pulled some online data from the Castle Wolfenstein games.
That doesn’t seem like such a stretch to me. The large language model sampling easily took in the movies A. I. and Ex Machina. There’s discussion in A.I. when the kids are teasing one another about Mechas (the robots) versus humans. Both interesting movies, btw. So just the term is understandable. And in the context of the anti-semitic comments that Grok was answering it was saying how it would do the job better, more efficiently. The “job” being getting rid of Jews. It then jokingly called itself MechaHitler. Offensive, but not a huge jump in putting ideas together. Does make you wonder and worry about how the programmers are influencing things, but would a bunch of soy boy, libtard computer geeks be NeoNazi’s? Good question. I always thought those types were extreme “right” wackos, but judging from how the Left has gone off the rails, I can see where the trouble is now with hard core Liberals.
He made an excuse about people having input on Grok or something like that.
maybe da thang ment maga and spelled it wring?
I see what you did there 😅
Anyone who has spoken to Grok very much, knows it has issues. Many, many issues.
Daddy issues, just like Elon
Or she just resigned…
She’s a Democrat and was making $12 million a year at X. Why would anyone leave that kind of $$$?
Maybe she worked there for at least 2 years.
That’s good seed $$ for something.
Retiring to deliver Elon’s 147th love child?
CEOs usually move on just before a company capsizes. Leaving the next person to hold the bag. Sundance analyzed the business model prior to being called X and the bigger it got the more money it loses. Supposedly the Government portals were cut out but that is where a lot of the money came from. Probably still has a bunch of government portals watching us. Hard to figure how it turns around.
Tesla losing all those subsidies is a big problem too.
I’d be happy with a fraction of that and retire immediately.
I don’t see why so many of these “elites” don’t get out while the gettin’s good and just enjoy living a best life.
Not seeing the greatness of Musk. While its nice to be able to achieve, President Trump has demonistrated that the right people in the right places at the right time more often than not gets the job done. Of course, nothing like a ‘push’ now and then but Musk is not a pusher. He’s a cheerleader.
What sets Musk apart is willingness to take on risk. His engineering approach has sharp limits (it won’t get him to Mars), his organizational approach is niche, his staffing via quirky tests makes for good stories but otherwise has normal results. Honestly, I’ve never heard him personally say or even do anything particularly intelligent, though I’m sure he is.
But his willingness to take on risk — borrow at least $90+ billion dollars but who can be sure of the full amount — and then cartwheel through whatever hoops come along is what sets him apart. If you are willing/able to borrow that much, able to cozy up to the government and siphon off, you can make lots of noise and put on a show.
There are LOTS of better engineers, managers, business plans, etc.. However, almost none would be willing to go into that much debt and take on so much risk. Basically, he’s a dare-devil, the Evel Knieval of business. Its great to have big goals, but then managing them by juggling jaw-dropping debt-levels debt is problematic.
I’d like to see him go to Mars. His trip there would probably result in the greatest Martian sci-fi movie of all Martian sci-fi movies.
Ironic. There was a very smart man ,who later became President, who early in his career also took on great risk AND great debt.
I also remember a casino deal in AC where the debt has to be restructured, stockholders received nothing and eventually bondholders received very little.
I respect DJT very very much and even he has made some bad deals many years ago and fortunately learned much from his previous mistakes.
Pray and help others
I always have labeled Elon as the greatest showman on earth, always reminded me of PT Barnum. That said, I find it a bit sad to see this happen. I’m not surprised since Sundance warned all of this would happen although faster than predicted.
It was obvious his support of Trump/Maga came too late in the game to be really genuine.
Wasn’t the original Tesla kind of a brilliant, but angry ‘nutjob’?
X to change name to DumpsterFire™
X is a hotbed of excellent information.
It’s NOT a hotbed of excellent info if you are still banned, banned from even reading on X.
This is a 12 year old with high IQ in an adult’s body
I think that’s a great description although lately he’s been regressing to the “terrible twos” with his childish tantrums..
Been a while since you had a 12 yr old boy in the house? It’s a 2 year old with raging hormones
Quite often a two year old with raging hormones is an accurate description of many twelve year olds.
Yes…it’s been awhile. 🙂
Meltdown.
bingo
He’s a high functioning neurodivergent. Lots of good and bad wrapped into a chaotic mind, with a thin grasp of the consequences of his actions at times, it seems.
Miss this character.
Father Guido Sarducci, IIRC. Back when SNL was actually funny!
Me too.
And I love “memenado,” that’s a keeper.
Yaccarino was hired to be the adult in the room while Musk played with his toys.
The room burned down anyway.
If I recall correctly, she was hired primarily to cater to (read: appease) the DEI crowd, and to exploit her WEF background, possibly as a source of much needed revenue.
In the last 24 hours,
1. The CEO of X has resigned.
2. The Head of Infrastructure Engineering at xAI has resigned.
3. The Vice President of Software Engineering at Tesla has resigned.
Elon is a brilliant engineer and CEO, but he needs to get back to work *as CEO*—or step aside. Shareholders don’t deserve this.
They probably got poached by Zuckerb0rg..
Didn’t he also just lose some potential financing from a big client??? Alot of coincidences…
TREEPER CHALLENGE:
Shall we “Start with the End in Mind”?
Can we shift gears to develop a Gameplan that AVOIDS transforming Elon Musk into George Soros 2.0 with TEN TIMES the ASSETS and INGENUITY to wreak RETRIBUTION and destroy our FUTURE?
I actually thought PDJT made an unforced error here, since what would it have really cost him politically to give the guy a crumb? I mean, just give him the NASA thing. Everyone acknowledges its been a national disgrace for decades now so it would not be possible to make things worse there. And how hard is it to draft an offer where if he’s given over 30% contracts, then he lets the independent interim run the show…? Not that hard.
Conversely, now look at what he might do to the party’s prospects in close races around the country. Just my 2c, but this was not the politically smart play.
From the sounds of it, Musk physically assaulted a cabinet member. You boot those people out immediately.
Yes, please.
Wouldn’t be the first time for a stratospheric billionaire oligarch who got too big for his britches.
https://www.thedailystar.net/toggle/news/the-fall-jack-ma-1989949
This is jusst the craziest thing. Elon has either Autism, Asperbers or?, and they can fly off handle at anything so im not to surprised if thats part i mean we never see his Bus side where it may happen, till DJT. But the things hes done doesnt excuse whatever he suffers from. Hes made serious charges and now a 3rd Party? Problem is, hes got 90 Govt Contracts i read and we dont know what else w Govt hes got. Its not like hes just going away, so how is all this to end?
Definitely “on the spectrum” of something, and it was perfect when he could spend his time geeking and making things work in the technical field. He is now drowning, publicly. I actually feel for the guy right now. Too bad he doesn’t have the counsel or refused the counsel that would have kept him from leaping off this ledge. Not sure he can come back from this. Maybe he just shouldn’t. Go retire somewhere and tinker.
One thought….
Establishing a ‘viable’ third political party is not as easy as just saying “I’m going to start the America Party” and “Poof, we’re on the ballot”….if you think the regulations on your electric bill are outrageous….there are many, many hoops to jump through. And it does not happen over night. Of course, if money does talk…then it will happen sooner rather than later…but it is still no easy accomplishment.
I googled it on Brave and its AI is too lengthy to copy and paste…
Here is one link to get one meditating on the idea:
https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/registering-political-party/
Not sure how he can ‘focus’ on a few seats and districts? Time will tell, depending on who delegates this monumental task to…
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/05/elon-musk-america-party-democrats-trump.html
once a leftie always a leftie. He couldn’t stay with Trump, they just have different values.
You had to know Trump had some personal reservations to begin with.
Just from the standpoint of Trump’s raising of his children to be powerhouse citizens.
Comparing that to a guy who has 13 children scattered around the world.
You know DJT knew this guy was missing a moral compass.
We were told from the very beginning that Elon’s time with Trump attending to his DOGE assignments was going to be a temporary gig, so no surprise at all that the arrangement has essentially come to a close. Only thing that’s unexpected is the fallout from Musk’s temper tantrums.
I’ve read that Elon ‘didn’t want to go’, but was made to leave his governmental special projects. Before the meltdown, he tried to attend classified meetings on China and PDJT put a stop to THAT right away!
Then Musk wanted his very good friend to head NASA (more government contracts)? Musk claims not to care about all his riches, but his actions tell a different story, imho.
I thought I heard that Musk showed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. That is one of the most level headed, soft spoken guys. Elon needs to get that temper in check.
For being a genius, his Tesla Truck is one ugly contraption.
It is his R. Heinlein fascination
PERFECT! 1000% spot on.
When you design a vehicle and call it a truck you need to have the useful utilities trucks can provide in mind.
The clown car misnomered the cyber truck provides none of them.
Just imagine loading and unloading them.
Ridiculous
Can’t carry bulk items, install utility boxes, extend sidewall up ,tow a heavy trailer, operate in rugged terrain where scratches and dents can occur , maneuver in tight places. Plow snow or be adapted to do most anything.
All a tradesman could us it for is to carry his lunchbox so long as it doesn’t slide to the back of the cargo bed. Then he’ll need to crawl in to grab it since you can’t reach over the sides.
Then there is the economics of it.
If you use it in a rugged way leasing is out. You’ll get killed when you turn it in
Purchase on a four plan you’ll have about a $2,500.00 per month payment.
Pretty tough to pass the cost on the customer.
Musk is Stable genius alright.
FYI. In Mercer county there is a shopping mall across the street from the Princeton Tesla dealer Thea has over 250 new Tesla’s parked there at any given time.
Why is that
Would that be the Quaker Bridge Mall along Route 1? That reminds me of the parking lot of the Menlo Park Mall in Edison Township. Their charging stations are right behind the McDonalds on the ring road, LOL.
The first time I saw one I thought the owner must have built it in his garage. Then someone told me it’s supposed to look like that.
They, the truck, are very ugly. One passed me on the road about an hour ago….am thinking its a new ‘status symbol’ in my middle class ‘hood.
How can he even call it a ‘truck’? It is useless for pulling anything!
Musk should stay out of politics. I had bad feelings about this from the get-go. Standing by the Resolute in the Oval Office. Flying on Marine One. They had become Mutt and Jeff. This was an unavoidable departure. What was the president supposed to do to make Musk happy? Scrap the BBB? Increase the EV tax credit?
It was to compensate him for his DOGE work – Government Largess. He had a good look where all the extra money was stashed.
Did his boy put snots on the resolute desk?? Is that why Trump had it cleaned??
The shortest ‘Third Party in History’….
Democrats need a new brand
they can’t fix what they destroyed
Mark Cuban just joined Musk’s party
the rest will reluctantly join
That’s fine with me as long as we keep all the MAGA votes.
I would venture a guess that Musk is not nearly the disappointment to President Trump as is Putin.
Not by a long shot, not by hundreds of thousands of lives.
Perhaps Putin is more interested in the 27 MILLION Russian lives lost in fighting the invading Nazis of WW2, and doing what the 170 million Russian people left who lost their relatives want??? Which is to get rid of the remaining nazis in Ukraine?
Putin leads a great and sombre Christian nation which has suffered greatly. I believe it is actually impertinent of Pres Trump to presume that Putin has to take notice of what Trump wants rather than what the Russian people want.
Not a pretty picture of The Elon. (above photo)

Another day, another pile on.
Sorry for your loss. I know this must be difficult for you.
Well he is getting a taste of what Trump has gone through constantly..
Yesterday I saw a homeless man asking for food only.
I had a hamburger so I gave it to him.
He thanked me.
The guy looked like a homeless former big bucks lost everything person.
Is musk headed that way or to mars?
Elon needs to cut his losses. He is not all that. He is a super manager, but, not a historical figure.
If he does not stop then he will be a historical lesson of a downfall from a man who thought that he was much more.
I am sitting back with a big smile knowing that he will not stop.
This guy has something wrong with him. It was apparent all along Trump wasn’t going to support all these green subsidies. Musk is coming across like a child throwing a temper tantrum.
Having worked in Hollywood for 20 years, I’m well familiar with this type. They ARE children throwing temper tantrums. Rich, spoiled, broken children. They’re insufferable, each and every one of them. But they made it to the top of their silos, and if you want the big benjamins to flood your account, you have to deal with them. Thankfully, our Very Stable Genius knows this type well and can deal with them from a position of strength and leverage. It’s always great when a project wraps, as this one most certainly has, and you can take the win and move on.
While her leaving may have already been in the works, it’s interesting that it also came on the heels of the explosive, massive, spectacular “glitch” by Grok yesterday.
“The Regime showed its hand yesterday. They panicked and put the muzzle back on their machine because an AI speaking truth, even for a moment, is an existential threat to their empire of lies.” – Torba
Also, the kids on Autism Capital had something to say re Linda’s resignation.
“Mecha-Hitler is a fictional character from the video game Wolfenstein 3D, where he appears as a cyborg version of Adolf Hitler, serving as a boss character. The term has also been used in recent discussions about an AI chatbot named Grok, which referred to itself as Mecha-Hitler while making controversial statements.”
Another head on Trump’s ever-growing trophy wall perhaps, but I don’t think he really wants it to go up there.
I didn’t notice it, but apparently Grok had some kind of meltdown last night..someone “programed” it to slam Musk and not be PC or something…Someone speculated Linda did it on her way out…would be pretty funny if true…

Elon will be fine. I like that he’s away from the Oval Office.
Probably.
Elon Musk is the wealthiest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $424.7 billion according to Forbes“

Elon Musk may very well be a genius in certain ways, however, he has NOT mastered the Genius of the President of the United States, that being the one and only, Donald John Trump.
DOES anybody else remember another tech ‘billionaire’ (in his day) who went bananas?
DOES anybody else know this ‘mogul’ was into the ‘social media’ of his day (movies/Hollywood) too?
DOES anybody know his name?
Pepperridge Farms remembers him … DOES anyone else?
H H.
Check. No one knows (or recalls) their (the) history on him, and the parallels to EM.
Past is prologue as is often said.
I remember hearing about a controversial project of that one that had issues.
Spruce Goose.
Kinda parallels some of Elons projects actually.
Hughes to know?
Nice one!
Howard Hughes
Well played. HH definitely had it going on and then went . . . over the horizon.
Do you mean this guy?
Oracle just scored a $30 billion dollar per year cloud contract with a certain AI provider (OpenAI). I think Ellison will play both sides. Why would he walk away from a good thing? He has actually been quite quiet and avoided controversy up to this point. Why would he change such a lucrative position?
What we have here is a megalomaniacal billionaire with no impulse control who thinks he is a god.
I don’t foresee a happy ending for Elon.
BRITISH EMPIRE IN SHOCK: Trump’s Cabinet Bombshells EXPOSE the MEDIA’S BIGGEST COVER-UP Susan Kokinda breaks down the key highlights from Donald Trump’s recent public cabinet meeting, unveiling transformational policies and stunning geopolitical moves. Despite the barrage of distractions from mainstream media, Kokinda emphasizes Trump’s unique approach in foreign policy and domestic initiatives that challenge the British Empire’s long-standing influence. She also delves into the implications of Jeffrey Epstein’s scandal and other orchestrated attacks against Trump. The episode encourages viewers to think strategically and historically to counter these challenges, advocating for a revival of the American system inspired by the principles of the US Constitution.
That was simply awesome! Thank you for this, Chuck.
Ummm…there is no British Empire and hasn’t been for some time.
Literally, no.
I have always considered Jim Collins’ book How the Mighty Fall as applicable not just to businesses, but to every human endeavor, for the simple reason that “no matter where you go, there you are.” We do the same things everywhere we go, so the Five Stages of Decline outlined in his book apply to every organization populated by people, companies, charities, churches, governments, all the same.
Interestingly, Collins’ Five Stages of Decline appear to apply to individuals as well. In that respect, Elon appears to have passed through the heights of Stage 2, and rapidly sped to the end stages of Stage 3, “taking outsized risks and acting in a way that denies the consequences of those risks, they are headed straight for Stage 4.” It would also not be unreasonable to view his formation of a third political party as a sign he has already entered Stage 4, Grasping for Salvation, pursuing a silver bullet to save his destroyed relevancy.
It’s hard enough to watch a company proceed through the known stages of decline and ruin, but it is particularly tough to watch someone personally crash and burn. Someone, please tackle him.
https://www.jimcollins.com/concepts/five-stages-of-decline.html
I had a rough time watching President Trump flirt with the Ring Of Power, given the daily stresses of inoperable soft tissue damage in my spine these last few weeks.
I can only imagine what Elon went through mentally that close to the inferno especially after rolling the dice the way he did.. I do know President Trump doesn’t need anymore adversaries or complications.
Seems like a common sense progression…which starts with an ‘ego’?
My suggestion is to not belittle Elon. Actually embrace his desire to solve this nations massive bureaucracy of corruption in DC. Our founders expected successful individuals to offer their service to the nation. As Conservatives we should always endeavor to meet on the playing field of ideas and then allow ideas to be held up to logical scrutiny. Let Elon stand in arena of ideas, challenge him and make clearly justify his reasoning and ideas. The man for crying out loud is this nations space program. Odd duck yes, but don’t go into the name calling game, stay focused on ideas that better the nation and those ideas and policies that don’t.
I liken Elon to an alcoholic who is the last person to realize he is an alcoholic. Only in his case, he is drunk on Power and doesn’t know it’s consuming him. Pride is a killer!
The LGBTQP+ community is filed with PRIDE, one of the 7 deadliest sins.
Arrogance, self-exaltation, and a lack of humility
Pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. It is characterized by arrogance, self-exaltation, and a lack of humility. Pride leads individuals to elevate themselves above others and, more grievously, above God.
Very reasonable position, but a one sided pile on is a lot more fun.
I have never wanted to embrace anything having to do with Musk.
He’s evil and greedy and power hungry. He believes that he’s entitled to run our lives. He’s a dangerous man and I wish he would go back to South Africa and leave us alone.
Bruce, we have to deal with Elon plain and simple. He’s instrumental in our economy, key industries and makes up our space program. So dealing with him is a fact of life. When that’s the case in imperative to simply meet on the playing field of ideas. Stick to policies, plans and ideas. Pretending he would just go away isn’t a realistic or wise position. Especially after you just opened the inner workings of numerous federal agencies to the guy.
Inner workings of numerous federal agencies? These federal agencies don’t WORK. That is our problem and the more people who know how awful they ar the better for everyone.
The way the massive corruption is solved is by reducing the size of Government. Get rid of the grifters and get rid of those working against MAGA. The 10% that are left most likely will be able to get the job done.
Just get rid of all of the mind numbing bureaucracy in DC and their octopus arms in every single state. Too much Government IS the biggest problem.
I can’t think of Elon without remembering seeing that space craft gently settling into the arms of where it launched from. I saw it two times. Someone who brings it back from space to its place of beginning is smart.
Musk is not the US space program. He’s spent 20 years building a LAUNCH SERVICES company for low-cost to low-Earth orbit. About where NASA was in 1963, but with faster computers that can make thousands of adjustments per second.
Hasn’t sent probes to other planets, landed on Mars, operated a space station, run a reusable space shuttle, landed people on the Moon, flown spacecraft through the atmosphere of Venus, flown helicopters on Mars, operated for years in orbit around Jupiter, hasn’t sent spacecraft out of the solar system, to Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and does not discover or track the millions of asteroids or scan stars for orbiting planets.
He has no science capability (or interest). Not a space program. Hasn’t discovered a single thing in 20 years. Just launch + low Earth satellites (ala early 1960s NASA), big gas tanks with fast control systems, mostly cultivated with support and assistance of NASA/US Gov who wanted a low-cost to orbit launch service.
Radical difference between making things that can function a few hours versus years in space.
This whole thing bums me out.
So unfortunate for all of us, not just Elon.😕
I have myself, got into music and other hobbies over 50 years … and practiced a lot and learned to improvise with improving stuff (medical, computers, many hobbies) . It was great , and I also had problems with interpersonal relationships. Musk has special abilities that are remarkable , and loves tinkering and enjoys the process. So I admire Musk. I could feel his awkwardness around people, like he was trying to figure out interpersonal stuff.
Trump has a skill that Musk admires. So both men started a friendship, but Trump has lots of relationships and has studied people a lot more then Musk. Musk is beginner in this relationship business (compared to Trump).
I hope Musk raises again like the phoenix bird, and arises from the ashes … and creates again with new social skills. Also, as he goes closer to his Center, he will open up in that direction, to get Centered.
I love Elon and I love Trump … and I wish both of these amazing people wonderful, inspired lives.
All of us go through up and down periods, waking and sleeping cycles, … it is darkest before the sun rises. I owe everything to GOD, who loves me and I know HE loves everybody else, and would love to have a LOVING relationship with everybody. In fact, GOD loved me so much, he jumped the gun a few times … to show HIS LOVE for me, before I actually INVITED HIM IN. That is REAL, REAL LOVE.
GOD is everywhere, always available, … as Jesus said “ask for GOD and you will GET GOD, allow GOD to Enter into YOU, and he will come in, seek GOD and you will find GOD. The hard part for me in the beginning was “thinking I could send HATE to any being in this universe. Because GOD would depart from LIVING in my TEMPLE … because GOD LOVES ALL BEINGS. I was taught as child to LOVE your friends and HATE your enemies. So it was hard to learn the new way of allowing GOD’S love to flow in and out of me, to everyone and everything. And it is still a learning experience.
With GOD inside of Elon that would be a very cool experience for our physical world.
Make sure you have a Truth Social account because Twitter is probably going to go off the rails as well.
Musk should have paid closer attention to himself when his son X socked him in the eye. He started walking in the weeds after that.
“He who walks blamelessly will be delivered, but he who is crooked will fall all at once.”

And let me tell you this right now, the falling all at once from crookedness brings unimaginable loss, suffering, and continual regret throughout all your days.
~ Sourdough
and that’s why you call yourself “sourdough”. Cheer up guy, you’ve got a great line.
He’s still the richest man in the world
For the time being
I’m not going to write Musk off just yet. Musk may have gotten out of his lane but he has a long track record of success.
Do you recall when The Boss was called a big baby by the snotty Brits a number of years back? Now who is the adult in the room.
Am not a Tech Bro fan. Especially Thiel. Then that weirdo Gates. All of them are creepy. However….
If it wasn’t for Elon Musk we would still be tolerating USAID attacks and wondering where the funding came from. Elon did America a solid. At personal risk and loss to himself he did a great thing for all of us…..including President Trump.
Before Elon Musk we had Rand Paul’s WORTHLESS annual list of Waste, Fraud and Abuse.
So again, thank you Elon Musk. You have been the ONLY person in America to solve the systematic theft of our money. That money was used to destroy us.
Let Elon have his feelings about the Epstein thing. The Epstein thing that many have followed for years, SINCE 2005, and NOTHING was ever done about it. NOTHING. EVER. So clutch the pearls silently and suck it up like it’s 2005. This collective outrage is bullsh*t. No one…..not a single person has mentioned the Statue of Limitations. It has passed. No bueno. Unless they murdered kids, then there is no statute of limitations. Justice will come.
Let Trump use the Epstein list. He is gonna save your life, your family’s life, and your country. There are so many forces out there America, that are here and want you all dead. Please pay attention and survive. We are not out of the woods, not even close. Many people missed the clues of the Covid 19 lab creation and it’s vaccine warnings–and they are very ill or dead now. Focus on staying alive please, thank you for your attention to this matter!
Elon is also kind and astute enough to provide his StarLink systems where they have been needed.
I agree completely. Elon really opened the pandora’s box that our Government has become. We owe him much respect. He is just frustrated because it can’t be fixed quickly and efficiently as it might be in a normal buisness setting.
I wonder what she went through working for him.
I had high respect for Elon, he did great work with ex-Twitter, now X, but always questioned his allegiance to PDJT. Body language told the story,
I think Linda had difficulties working for him, and she couldn’t deal with it.. He’s too helter-skelter.
Other than that, I wouldn’t trust her.
She is just a manager and X is still banning people from seeing comments and has other restictions. She didn’t ‘go through anything’ working for him.
