And he’s caught between a rock and a hard place for 2 things where he cannot win either without angering the other. You see, Tesla shareholders are *very* unhappy with Muskrat because he is not paying any attention to it and has not come through on some of the promises he made, namely, self-driving cars, a Robotaxi fleet, a less expensive new Tesla model, and plans to sell humanoid robots. Tesla is also affected by President tRump’s trade war, and, I quote, “Important to note that Tesla is NOT unscathed here. The tariff impact on Tesla is still significant,” he said. Some parts of their vehicles come from overseas. So, he also needs to add in tariff fees, and that will likely drive prices up, not down. A less expensive Tesla model? Not hardly.
Then there’s the other side of this coin. President Buddy, Co-President, whatever you want to call him, means that Elon is also caught needing to stay in Agent Orange’s good graces. Except … DOGE has pretty much been an abject failure. He keeps reducing the amount DOGE has saved, from 2 trillion, then eventually down to a few hundred billion. The Wall of Receipts has a gazillion things wrong. They’re trying to find fraud, waste, and abuse. Instead, they’re getting their sticky hacker fingers into people’s personal information. He doesn’t need to see a damn thing with my name on it. Any of that stuff had *already been found*, so there’s nothing there for them to reduce. You folks know how I feel about DOGE, and it’s not in a good way.
Is E-yawn ever going to step back from DOGE and get back to work on his businesses? The Tesla shareholders alone are getting angry with him. We don’t know about his other companies, including SpaceX. SpaceX is having a lot of trouble with its Starship program, namely, it keeps blowing up after the first stage has separated. That could also make shareholders unhappy. Elon really does need to get back to business. The question now is whether or not it’s too late to reverse the damage that’s been done.
But then there’s his relationship to Traitor Tot and all that goes with him. He got the president elected again (gahhhhh). Too much criticism of tariffs could harm his bromance with Trump. Musk became Trump’s largest financial donor last year and has been among his closest advisors since the inauguration. He carried his son around almost like a security blanket. Elon let his son play IN THE OVAL OFFICE while handling a press conference. He has also handled multiple press conferences while tRump sat at his desk and looked bored. What the hell is up with *that*???
Which one will you choose, Elon? You were pretty good at balancing everything. Well, until your ignominious, major loss in Wisconsin. You’ve been hiding since that happened. We don’t see you at a press conference or other actions anymore. We haven’t seen you *at all*. Are you finally going to give up your government place and get back to what you do best? Your shareholders are moving from “hey, remember us?” to “get something done *now*, a$$hole.” You’re not just playing with fire. You’re trying to play with lava, and it’s heading towards an eruption. Time to give up *something*, Muskmelon. Look at the pros and cons of each position and decide. It’s time.
*****And now, please read a very special request from our awesome boss******
Zoomers, we feel guilty asking for cash, but if you can spare a small amount, it will keep us trekking through cyberspace. Many hands make light work, many small contributions add up to enough. And most of all, we thank you for coming here to read. Ursula






















DOGE, the origin story:

“You’re not just playing with fire. You’re trying to play with lava, and it’s heading towards an eruption.”
Technically, he’s playing with magma. It only becomes lava AFTER the eruption and the stuff flows down the side(s) of the volcano.
“You were pretty good at balancing everything. ”
Actually, Musk was good at being a con artist, so good that few realized it. Now more and more people are starting to realize it. His companies actually have a lot of problems — I don’t think he can fix them. I’m not sure anybody can.
