I saw this comment this morning and it feels pretty accurate:<p>"It’s never a good sign when CEOs think they must literally live in DC to successfully run their businesses."<p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/prchovanec.bsky.social/post/3lgv2lj4rwk2d" rel="nofollow">https://bsky.app/profile/prchovanec.bsky.social/post/3lgv2lj...</a>
I feel like this is a damning statement this about the current political environment. Someone like Zuck thinks it is a useful to his company if he spends a significant amount of time away from it in DC dealing with political things. I'd imagine most people would agree that CEOs should be focused on the act of running their businesses rather than managing political situations.
It's quite a bad omen that the last sentence even needs to be said: "... Trump last week denied that Musk would be getting an office in the White House itself."
It seems unclear if he's looking at build a home, or if he is looking to buy up some of the government office building the Trump administration wants to put up for sale.
Don't worry, he just wants to lower the price of eggs and combat unemployment!<p>Perhaps the Jan 6th people should consider moving to Washington and hold Trump accountable. Whereupon he'd have them arrested.
"Elon Musk, who is leading the Department of Government Efficiency and has been working out of SpaceX’s Washington office, has reportedly also been seeking to invest in a DC property, prompting a backlash from locals in the city’s Adams Morgan neighbourhood."<p>Adams-Morgan isn't really a Musk-style neighborhood. Kalorama, on the other side of Connecticut Ave. NW might be.
