The escalating feud between Trump and Elon Musk just went to the highest level when the former DOGE leader called for the impeachment of the sitting president.
His money is tied up in his companies, which are crashing. Tesla stock is dropping steadily, and the only reason it was making any money at all was because of EV credits, which go away in the Big Beautiful Bill. That’s why he hates it so much. It dooms Tesla, which will be bankrupt within two years.
Now he’s threatening to decommission the only American spacecraft that goes to the Space Station. That gives the government the excuse to cancel all contracts for Space X, or even confiscate it.
Kill Tesla and nationalize Space X, and he’s got nothing left.
Which means I doubt there’s going to be a bunch of Republicans suddenly jumping to Team Musk.
GOP grifters avoiding the biggest pile of money to grift, and you’re confident grifters will actively avoid it? I’m not so sure. I’m betting a number of opportunistic GOP will sign up on the Musk train if it means getting a paycheck/personal superpac donation.
I feel like if he wanted to he could out right buy half the GOP congress people though. Money holds a lot of political power when the politicians are for sale.

I don’t know. He’s got tons of money and politicians are like flies to shit with money.

He already announced he’s done donating to the gop after he burned all that money in wisconsins Supreme Court race.
Because he’s a man known for never going back on his word before…

Donald Frump controls the military, Melon Husk does not.
In what world is the president going to illegally use the military to kill a billionaire?
They have the CIA for that.

He has the KGB for that as well!
The KGB has Trump. Maybe has Musk too.
Now might be a good time for Putin to off both of them. Maximum chaos effect.

Half it’s been proven buying a politician is not expensive at all. He could buy everyone.
He could buy all of them, politicians are particularly cheap. $10K each could buy the entire Congress. That’s nothing to Musk.
I bet Thiel wants it too. Get his personalityless puppet into power quicker.
