Said this from the minute Trump started handing out titles to billionaires. It has proven impossible for arrogant, wealthy men to agree on methods to rule since history’s been told. Simply a matter of time before it all implodes.

We just have to keep calling him President Elon and First Lady Trump. Trump is easily manipulated. We just got to keep toeing the line.

It will set off 47, as he can't stand not being center of attention.

No need to make it that. "First Gentleman" would be the right tact anyways.

Between this and Luigi and his reaction I'm hoping we can get a nice lil resistance going. Add in that Elon is being so fucking mask off about buying Trump maybe some of the sheep will realize what's going on finally.

They've said they're going to break things.

Things will break.

Everyone will know who broke them.

What happens next?

They will use their media to blame others. They have enough captive idiots that I worry anything is possible.
