Who’s playing that guy more, Musk or Putin?

u/UpperApe 7d ago

Putin is playing Musk who's playing Trump who's playing Thiel.

Vance is just happy to be there.

u/cyberlogika casually dropping the best political roast of the decade.

It’s like one of those nesting dolls but you’d have to blur it on antiques roadshow

Thanks, I hate it

u/locofspades 7d ago

Im with you up to Trump playing Thiel. Thiel just bought the VP chair and likely has more pull over trump than vice versa. Hell, Trump probably owes Thiel money or something.

u/AngryScientist 7d ago

That's literally Trump playing Thiel. Vance has been ignored since the election. Unless Trump kicks the bucket or is removed, Thiel got nothing for his money.

*When Trump kicks the bucket or is removed.... ftfy

How quickly people forget that Musk and Thiel are old comrades as well.

As long as someone (anyone) randomly gives him eyeliner he’s good.

u/TheBigDoitch 7d ago

What’s wrong with a man wearing eyeliner are you transphobic?

u/AdSufficient4058 5d ago

youre missing the point a little....

u/TheBigDoitch 5d ago

The point of making fun and pointing out when anyone who isn’t a woman wears eyeliner, you could just say you’re a sexist Nazi homophobe and skip the rest.

u/AdSufficient4058 4d ago

he isn't even wearing eyeliner.... nor am i a sexist nazi homophobe.... but thanks i guess!

The other 2 being awful humans and complete morons, Vance still comes off as the Ralph Wiggim of evil here.

Ralph Wiggum of evil

u/Basic_Ad4861 7d ago

At some point I expect Vance to play the role of the “fall guy” when one of the Trump/Musk policies goes sideways

22

u/DomoOreoGato 7d ago

Vance is like the mini poodle being carried everywhere in a luxury purse. Not sure where or what hes doing but happy

Cushiny furniture everywhere.

u/Backpedal 7d ago

Who? Oh yeah, Vince. I keep forgetting about him.

u/pruplegti 7d ago

That's because Vance is bottoming for Thiel

u/TheBigDoitch 7d ago

I missed the part when we were saying Musk is owned by Putin now, when did this happen? I did get the memo about Tulsi Gabbard being a Russian spy though. It’s so great calling everyone we don’t like Russian assets and Nazis though! It’s so effortless! Oh and don’t get me started about that insert Fox News employee he is such a nazi Russkie hahahahaha

2

u/UpperApe 7d ago

I missed the part when we were saying Musk is owned by Putin now, when did this happen?

When Musk started to force himself into the Ukraine/Russia conflict, neutered Ukraine's ability to mount a counter-offensive at a really critical time in the war, told Ukraine it should just give Russia everything it wants, and confessed to everyone that he talks to Putin regularly.

So yeah, you missed a lot lol

2

u/TheBigDoitch 7d ago

Ukraine would have lost the war by now if not for Starlink so go ahead and thank Musk. US Sanctions on Russia prevented Starlink from being turned on near Crimea without approval from the Biden administration such as a permission from the US President, so you can go ahead and sound your disapproval to sleepy Joe for the failed offensive.

Elon owns the greatest space technologies company on the planet, Russia is a huge contributor in this field, of course they talk shop and the future of space. It’s not a crime to be a powerful man and talk to another powerful man, what is the subject matter in which they talk about that you find so alarming? Don’t forget to add links that aren’t quoting an “unnamed official close to the matter”.

Is that a mouse in his pocket, or is he happy to be there, be there?

u/Mission_Albatross916 7d ago

Vance is waiting patiently for his turn

u/Jebist 7d ago

Vance is hoping for another golden shower.

u/EquipmentElegant 7d ago

Why would putin with a networth of less than 50B control someone worth 400B

u/UpperApe 7d ago

Let's see if you can figure out what everyone else already has

u/EquipmentElegant 7d ago

I mean one is running a country that has: a declining rocket launch rate, declining GDP, and declining happiness rate. The other bought a road and renamed it to Meme st

u/iiztrollin 7d ago

Vance might be the smartest in the bunch get his name out there lay low come back when things aren't as crazy with an actual plan. Yeah one could wish

u/Common_Lettuce_2594 7d ago

I think Putin’s been playing Trump for a very long time. But yes. Throw in some Santos and Jinping and voila a puppet regime

u/mark_is_a_virgin 7d ago

Who is Thiel and why is his name all of a sudden all over the place

Trump expressed power by lying and making people show their loyalty by defending those lies. He runs his administration like a reality TV producer by introducing fake narratives and encouraging petty squabbles.

Project 2025 is very codified, but it will be interesting to see if Trump's reality TV strategy will tear it apart, or they will find a way to take him out like Reagan. It's not like his declining cognitive ability isn't glaringly obvious.

u/Garconanokin 7d ago

And do Republican voters even care?

They don’t.

u/NoConfusion9490 6d ago

I have a feeling Putin has said like 8 words to this guy and is as confused as anyone about all this.

u/sonamata 6d ago

Matthew Perry's bloated corpse.

u/AnyParty1114 7d ago

Idk why people can’t understand the fact that Elon has serious issues with how badly the dems are running things and feels an obligation to do something about it as a man of his stature. Dudes a patriot with a lot of money/resources. And leftists’ brainwashing is showing by going from loving to despising a guy over him voicing criticism for their side.
