No oligarchy to see here.
Yep 2025, the year the united states of America officially became an oligarchy.
Ahh good old trump, truly a man of the people surrounding himself with the most regular of regular Joes.
He’s a parasite and should be in jail.
We’re all just screwed
Money really can buy you anything in America. Trump has betrayed the sanctity of your nation and made a mockery of your political institutions.
And he’s a foreigner…
Oh cool. The richest man in the world will be controlling the most powerful person in the world during which time he will get his hands on AGI.
Can’t legally be president. But bought a presidential win and is now literally in the fucking White House.
Yea. It’s called the “Oval Office”
President Donlon Mump

for the right price, you can own a Supreme Court Justice.
so nothing is impossible with owning the White House.
this dude is a fucking foreigner with world wide business interests where he regularly meets and has dealings with foreign governments, to include adversaries to the United States, and unless im mistaken there has not been a background check on him to grant him any form of a clearance, not to mention the richest man in the world
corrupt ass fucking administration from day fucking 1
Makes sense so he won’t have to drag his son human shield around.
Taxation without representation
America voted for this, not sure why all the surprise. It was pretty clear something like this would happen when he gave Trump $277 million.
I thought Trump was supposed to drain the swamp?
Scary
His office space will be in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Which is where the Vice President’s office is located. It’s essentially a neighboring building to the White House for everyone who has never seen it.
Still not great, but clarification none the less. I assume he is the only non government official in that building. I can’t find any information that says other CEOs or corporations have similar office space.
>The space anticipated for Mr. Musk’s use is in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which is adjacent to the White House. The location would allow Mr. Musk, who owns companies with billions of dollars in contracts with the federal government, to continue to have significant access to President-elect Donald J. Trump when he takes office this month.

Imagine if Soros had an office. The minds that would explode would be unimaginable. But our billionaire guy is better.
Remember when “House of Cards” had a billionaire getting too close to politicians and it was a big scandal. Now, even dumb plots from TV are just “news”.
Hmmm must’ve missed the part where we elected this douche. I’ll never get over the fact that the people who voted for Trump and went on about “draining the swamp” deluded themselves into thinking any of these billionaires give a fuck about them. It just blows my mind.
Richest person on paper*
Very unswampy
Why not? He paid for it.
Elon bought this election. I do not believe that Trump won this election fairly.
I’m not going to storm the capital over it, but I am mad about it.
Is he wearing boots?
Those are the shittiest looking boots I’ve ever seen, at-least get something with style. Like even a basic Ariat!
We don’t have to sit back and accept this, but if we expect it to change there will need to be sacrifice. Power takes and takes, but it will not give back unless it fears death.
Will Elon Muskrat and Vivek Ramaswampy share an office, ya know, for efficiencies.
# ALL HAIL PRESIDENT ELON AND VP TRUMP!
Fuck Elon.
This is such a massive national security risk. There’s no telling what meetings he’ll be in or what he’ll overhear in a chaotic White House.
Time to flood the FOIA request regarding musks finances and make as many ethics complaints as possible
So that he can more easily turn the United States into apartheid South Africa
America sold it’s democracy. End stage malignant capitalism.
This makes me literally ill
Former white house employee adding some local color. The White house is a campus of multiple buildings, with around 3000 staff. The Eisenhower building (We’d call it the Old Executive Office Building) is the large grey building next to the white house. The west wing is a short walk from the old building. Access is restricted, so not just anyone can walk from the OEOB into the white house.
Even though the OEOB is an old building the offices can be much bigger than the ones in the west wing (which is where the President, Vice president and their immediate advisors are. These offices are not large. The first lady and a small number of their staff are in the east wing). Those advisors in turn have staff that work under them, so they’re in either the Old Exec or if you’re really far down the totem pole, New Executive office building which is adjacent to Layfette park on the north side of Penn. Ave. In the OEOB you’ll find offices labeled “first lady”, “vice president”, etc. Oh, and if you want to get anywhere you’re taking the stairs. Elevators exist, but they arent great.
I guess I should end that the white house itself, not a lot of people work there. The main areas are for state functions, so they are usually empty, and the upper floors are the executive residence. The basement levels have maintenance staff, the bowling alley, and a flower shop.
PS- yes there are bunker(s) and “secret” tunnel(s).
It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
This can’t be happening.
Im no US citizen, but I think the French had the right idea way back when.
It’s almost like a parody of a government….honestly…a pack of billionaires who got voted in on a platform of lowering costs and immigration who upon coming into power will immediately levy tariffs to make everything skyrocket in price and then ship in a whole bunch of immigrants to take tech jobs…..like it’s a joke right? Jesus Christ it’s so ridiculous….then the president is a 78 year old with dementia who is threatening to use the military to take over countries after he promised to be anti-war…..if it wasn’t real life for Americans it would be absolutely fucking ridiculous.
I can’t believe people actually voted for this. Dumb, dumb people
Hoping he fall Into a Ketamine hole he can’t climb out of..
Under the desk in the oval office.
And guess what… when he’s done with you, you won’t have insurance, SS, Medicare, or any sort of safety net. And..while they plan to give Billionaires another tax break, you will be paying twice as much for groceries. Now go fly your Trump flag while you still can afford to.
No oligarchy, no racist USA 🇺🇸
President Musk has a better inaugural photo than VP Trump. 😆
Don’t let the drug dogs in
What? Why??? He’s a private citizen, not elected to an office. Is it because he’s “appointed”?
What kind of Sam-Hell is this?
