Is there any way we can encourage this civil war between Trump and Musk
Wait, Trump means “Fart” in British slang
and Musk is how animals smell each other and stuff…
They’re both smelly!
Just keep pointing out the reality, that President Musk is really running the show, while puppet dumpy takes orders.
It’s not new. Take a look at all the billionaires telling him what to do. He’s not in charge.
Ohh and the egos on both of them. This is going to be like working on a marvel movie.
What Trump is too stupid to realize is that this is Musk’s presidency. Trump has always been a puppet to money and Elon can just buy him off, like he bought his way into Tesla.
And Musk os too stupid to realize that Trump cares about the image of holding piwer, not about the power itself. He’s very easy to control from the shadows, but Elon can’t keep his face out of the public eye.
Let’s hope his ego doesn’t let him realize that
He can’t do fuck all, Musk was elected president. Trump can smoke a fat dick.
Keep saying it over and over.
Fight! Fight! Fight! (grabs popcorn and a few beers).
The hyaenas will be at each others’ throats constantly. That will be the one defining feature of the next Trump administration.
This specific tension happened a lot sooner than I expected.
Let’s see… a guy famous for (among other things) owning a company that builds electric cars teams up with the guy who said he wants to outlaw electric cars. Fireworks were inevitable at some point.
I don’t think EVs are the key issue here. The key issue are the grotesquely overinflated egos they both have. It’s basically impossible for them to accept anyone as equal.
It’s called narcissism and they are both textbook examples of it.
No it’s a guy who wants to be king vs a guy who wants to hold the whip but both view themselves as heroes and the greatest gift to humanity.
One thinks his personality is what won him over and will keep all the support of his followers and one thinks he’s the smartest person in the room and his correctness will show that he deserves all his followers.
It’s cult leader narcissist vs cult leader narcissist. They don’t even have to get to policy before the breakdown occurs.
Tesla produces primarily stock market manipulation schemes, cars secondly…
The value isn’t tied to the cars they produce now, so it doesn’t matter how many cars they actually sell.
Trust will be the one defining feature of the
next TrumpMusk administration.That was an autocorrect error. None of those fuckers trust each other one bit.
I guess donvict better keep that “Truth” “Social” scam running for a while, because he’s going to need a platform to bleat on about Elmo when he gets pulled from Xitter.
If it’s this easy to manipulate trump, just imagine how easy it is for Russia.
I think this is hilarious. I wonder if they have some kind of agreement that trump can’t just back out of. Maybe it was a handshake deal and he’s just now getting annoying enough?
It isn’t really an ‘agreement’, it is power. Money is power, and that makes Musk extremely powerful. He has shown that he can literally buy congress - either directly, or by threatening to back challengers. And while trump has the title of President, he doesn’t have the power: it has been shown that trump backing a person just isn’t enough to get them elected any more, unlike Musk’s money backing a person.
But people actually stormed Capitol Hill and went to jail for Trump, not Musk. I don’t see any backwater dispossessed citizen taking part in a coup for Temu Tony Stark.
so…we can just pit the vipers against each other until they bite each other to death?
Thats the plan.
Too bad instead of getting to watch from the sidelines safely, we are stuck in the arena with them.
Unsurprisingly, this also works on Trump supporters. They get furious when you even go so far as accidentally and unintentionally imply that Musk’s opinion will influence Trump’s actions.
Wait until JD Vance remove Trump using 25th amendment see how that blows their minds.
“We didn’t vote for Felon. Wait, ok, not that Felon”
“So I guess it goes from Putin to Musk to trump to the cleaner’s… right, Kent?”

Hot damn I get this reference and love that movie!
At the risk of sounding naive, what movie is this a reference to?
Real Genius it stars Val Kilmer.
Thanks! Didn’t realize that was the movie even though the other comment mentioned it. I thought it was a joke about Trump claiming he’s a stable genius.
You’re welcome. You got to check it out. A great 80’s movie.
Right? A Real Genius quote in the wild just made my day!
Yeah don’t see many quotes from that movie! It’s in my top 10 and I own that movie. Great sound track too.
8 years ago I’d have thought “Elon will step out of the limelight to avoid upsetting Trump so he can use his White House access to make a ton of money.” Now, I know he’s just as narcissistic and stupid as Donald Trump is.
Something in him changed. Broke. Maybe all the drugs fucked him up. Idk. I used to look up to him. In the last say decade, I’ve condemned him. I’d love to see him flogged in public.
His origin story is that he bullied a kid so much for dead parents in his school that the kid eventually pushed Elon down the stairs and he swore to never be able to be picked on again.
He’s always been a villain he was just charismatic enough and pretended to be the good guy until the mask broke and he went full villain to try and put the mask back up.
