Iām a little on the fence about this idea - on the one hand, both Musk and Trump wanted some distance between them (Musk being the most unpopular part of the administration, and Musk seemingly believing that if he stopped being openly involved in DOGE, his businesses might bounce back). On the other hand, Musk and Trump are wounded narcissists with very poor impulse control, who routinely air their grievances with public attacks, and who said some things that canāt be taken back.
I rather suspect, however, whatever the reality here, itās not going to amount to much. As much as Iām hoping to see Musk get deported and SpaceX nationalized, I donāt remotely think either will happen. Hell, Iām not convinced that Musk will stop giving money to MAGA candidates and causes. And the feud, if real, may be over - Musk already is indicating heās regretting the blow-up in tweets this morning.
Oh, Leon, everyone saw you all whacked out on ketamine at the White House the other day. You are so out of control, you have about 5 years left and then 12-15 women will fight over the remains of your fortune for decades. Lawyers are currently salivating at the thought.
Yeah, the Democrats should build a progressive majority by (checks notes) embracing anti-science hucksters and fascists who want to destroy the government⦠yep, thatāll really make the party better!
I think that the fall out is probably real, but there is likely an element of kayfabe at playā¦
also, could be that Trump knows that they donāt have to votes in the Senate to get the bill through, and now if it does fail, he has someone to blame that isnāt him.
Yeah, probably not. Itās all posturing, as thatās how these dumbasses believe āreal menā actā¦
