Is Elon Musk the Co-President? | Guest: J. Burden | 12/20/24

With a massive, 1,500-page spending bill full of pork working its way through Congress right before Christmas break, Elon Musk used his social media platform to help crush the legislation and get a more trimmed down version introduced. This sent politicians and media pundits into a tailspin as they screamed about an unelected billionaire wielding so much power. Has Musk taken unprecedented action, and what does it mean for the political landscape? Podcast host and writer J. Burden joins me to discuss.

Trump/Elon vs the RINO Christians is a great point.
They might not be declared Christians but 'you shall know them by their fruits' says a lot about the people who have been representing us until now.

Merry Christmas! We are grateful for you both!

It's hilarious that the state funding paper is so large, that you need an AI to go through it.

[@imissnickplur4964]

Merry Christmas, Auron, we heart you!

[@Sensible_centrist]

Great episode with some heavy hitters in the super chats.

[@JunkSock]

Algo comment. The fire rises.

First bill was the "Big Ask", now the second bill will pass with no problems even though it's still bad.

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

Please don't discount the importance of the economy in Trump's victory, I'd say that is the one issue that brought in the largest swath of voters to Trump.

[@D3r3k2323]

I bet you could find a gay Elon/Trump fanfic if you searched the internet long enough

[@reinedire7872]

Merry Christmas y'all! Have a good one!

[@paulvorbeck7478]

I heard they still passed all the pork.

[@jl6723]

Answer to any headline with a question: No.

[@MiskatonicSocialClub]

This post has merit, such merit.

[@AnythingsPossible92]

​@MiskatonicSocialClub what a scorcher of a comment!

[@LongDefiant]

Trump and Musk remind me of Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas.

[@SalmonJonesTheMagnificent]

I would be fine with that tbh

[@thesinofpride9433]

Donald Augustus and Elon Caesar

God I hope so.

Devon Stack is right about Trump

[@dvg4104]

What does he say?

[@Vingul]

@ Not allowed to be frank about that on here, lol. He has done several streams of his own about the subject and also appeared on Millenniyule two or three days ago.

[@reinedire7872]

Let me guess, he says Trump sucks and we're all doomed. What else would someone with a channel called 'Black Pilled' say? It's not that he's wrong, it's that Trump potentially slows the speed at which we're headed for the cliff. He's better than Kamala would have been, he was better than Hillary would have been, and he would've been better than Biden was. If we're gonna be gloom and doom, at least be honest about the gloom and doom. Let's not become accelerationists. Also, be thankful that we can trigger progressive lefties along the way.

[@dvg4104]

@@Vingul -- Fair enough. You know what YT does.
I'll have to look up Devon Stack's take(s) on Trump. I have not seen his content in a couple years.

[@Vingul]

​@@dvg4104 in that case may I recommend his PatCon series, little to do with this matter but one you probably missed (if it's all of two years anyway). Really eye-opening, certainly for me.

[@JosephdeMaistre-i4g]

lol no
