General Trump Administration F**kery Thread (2025-2029)

[Pull Up the Roots]

The DC bureaucrat who could deliver billions to Elon Musk.

Elon Musk has forged a relationship with a Republican figure who could open up a geyser of federal cash for his Starlink satellite internet business — and it’s not the person running for president.

Online and in person, the tech titan has been building a public alliance around his company’s policy goals with Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission — an unusual link between a regulator and his potential beneficiary that could mean a payday for the world’s richest man.

With Musk emerging as one of Donald Trump’s top supporters for president, their embrace offers a window into how Musk could use personal connections and the power of his X platform to push his own business agenda if he becomes part of a Trump administration.

Trump has said that if elected, he would name Musk to run a new commission to trim government waste. Musk appeared at a Trump rally and is pumping $75 million into a pro-Trump super PAC. At the same time, one of Musk’s companies — SpaceX, which runs Starlink — is in line to collect hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars in federal subsidies if some key federal decisions go his way in the next administration.

As a widely rumored contender for FCC chair under a Trump administration, Carr could exert critical influence over those decisions. He has already inserted himself into Musk’s business before the government, saying the FCC treated the SpaceX founder unfairly.

The public relationship goes back to at least late 2023, when Carr said on X that the FCC and six other agencies were subjecting Musk to “regulatory harassment” under President Joe Biden. The post sparked discussion on the popular “All In” Silicon Valley podcast, which Musk amplified to his 200 million followers on X. Musk began following Carr’s account himself on July 1.

Over the past year, Carr has attacked Democratic FCC commissioners for denying Starlink money from a rural broadband subsidy program, blamed Vice President Kamala Harris for slow progress on broadband expansion (“Truly staggering levels of waste and incompetence!” Musk responded), and sent a confrontational letter to Brazilian regulators who tried to place limits on X and Starlink.

Musk boosted each move online. “Much appreciated,” he wrote to Carr after the letter to Brazil. In August, Carr visited the SpaceX Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, and posed for a photo with Musk, which he posted on X with a warm endorsement of Musk’s business practices.

For Carr, a longtime conservative gadfly on telecom issues — and author of a chapter of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 — the sharp public critiques of Democrats are familiar. But his apparently tailored courting of one business leader is something new.

Rubio time

I still don't like the Trump is able to make his supporters think he's anti-war. A lot of dudes actions set the stage for what's going on in the Middle East now

Then the opposition party needs to actually become anti-war in order to draw out the distinction

think the lady in pink regrets not voting for Kamala?

Why would she, Rubio's stated position here isn't meaningfully different from Kamala's stated position.

Why did Israel want Trump elected?

Why did Israel want Trump elected?

Because they recognize that most anti-genocide activist pressure is coming from people more aligned to the Democratic Party than the Republican Party (although this is beginning to change). Code Pink is never going to vote for a Republican, but they might vote for a Democrat. As a fundamentally racist Apartheid state, Israel sees itself more in the Republican Party than the Democratic Party.

please stop giving fuel to the idea that these fukking agencies aren't out of control

This was a quick pivot by you to conservative talking points

Be careful not to lean into left wing facism.

We’re here because the voters want it and others couldn’t be bothered. This is how democracy works.

This types of boosted messages are how astroturfing works though. Yea, they’re breaking the law, but we know these laws don’t actually have real consequences attached to them and the president can pardon them anyway.

There isn’t some imaginary column holding us up that posts like this suggest.
