        I know the two people you’re referring to, but I’m not sure which is which in that sentence.

        That or Trump is tired of him and sees this as an easy way to get rid of him. Doubt it though

          Trump is allegedly already sick of Elon. Depending on whether Elon keeps being a sugar daddy or not, there might actually be a small chance.

    People are hopping in to say this will be a nothingburger, but they’re forgetting something very important.

    Donald Trump is a giant, petulant, attention-obsessed baby. The whole President Musk thing has been needling him. Fascists are about as easy to bait into infighting as leftists, and we’ve placed a lot of bait. This provides Donald with an excellent moment to betray and cement his power over Elon.

    Obv the power dynamics aren’t fully known, maybe Elon is just an intermediary for Putin and Trump will have to just sit and take it, but I just cannot imagine Trump suffering in silence. Maybe this gets turned into an opening salvo.
