• Trump dismissed Elon Musk’s peace offering, calling him “insane” and showing little interest in reconciliation.
• Their public feud, sparked by Musk’s criticism of Trump’s policies, escalated on social media.
• While Musk initially threatened to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft and later appeared open to reconciliation, Trump remained unconcerned and focused on his legislative agenda.
Anybody have a TLDR for people who have been blissfully unaware of the Space Karen vs Twitler slap fight?
Oh yes, please create a new party buddy.
Narcissists hate being ignored or called unimportant. Trump flippantly dismissing him as “nuts” and moving on is the ultimate insult.
I’m sure Musk has an army reining him in, but that’s legitimately hard for Musk to ignore.
Musk may be the richest man on earth, but there’s several things he craves that none of that money can ever buy. Like respect. Love. Being able to hold your pee. A working dick.
You know, the simple quiet enjoyments the majority of working class people don’t have nearly as much issues with.
Most of his money is in the US and DJ Trump can tank Musk easily.DJ Trump doesn’t have to worry about winning next term. We are eff’ed
Money, baby. He still (alas) has enough right now he could afford to primary every single Republican that is hard-core Maga, and potentially make Trump a lame duck for two years(depending on how the cult views all this). Which would mean that Trump would no longer be newsworthy, and would drive him up a fucking wall. Of course, then we would have to deal with a new political power and cult of musk
ToMAYto, toMAHto.
What cant’ a couple of millions won’t fix? Musk just needs to “donate” a few more millions and it will be all water under the bridge.
I don’t think Trump needs Musk anymore at this point. With all his crypto grifts, market manipulation and other schemes he made quite a penny for himself.
I’m also bet Trump would like for Musk to be knocked down a few pegs, so he could point at him and show the other oligarchs what happens when they don’t play along.
There’s a neat little concept called the keys to power. A totalitarian dictator doesn’t hold all the power power - they must share it with generals, officials, oligarchs, aristocracy - many people who extend their control. A president has even less, they need to spread it wider
If you lose the keys to power, your own power dwindles. Trump had the oligarchs, and the apparent head oligarch (Musk) has been ousted. What does that say to the other oligarchs? Most of them were threatened into compliance… If Musk breaks with Trump without consequences, his authority dwindles. If Musk gets deported or something, Trump’s value as an ally is depleted
Musk may be more valuable as a scapegoat to trump with all the pending fallout of DOGE costs and the coming recession.
It was meant to be this way.
They are litterally following a WWF script
Turns out hiring Linda MacMahon as the Secretary of Education was just show she could teach them how to write wrasslin’ scripts.
Fucking Pandas.
I feel you. That’s exactly what Putin did. Get rid of one oligarch so the other ones knew what happens if you don’t toe the party line.
You mean someone is going to mysterously fall out the window?
Nothing is off the table.
Reverse South African Prince scam…
You could swap the names Musk and Trump and it would still be true.
While Trump initially threatened to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft and later appeared open to reconciliation, Musk remained unconcerned and focused on his legislative agenda.
Yup.
Trump is so spiteful that this will be wonderful to watch.
It’s nice to see, it’s unfortunate they’re fighting for the wrong reasons.
That’s not all bad. At least mom and dad are fighting over who gets custody of MAGA. It would actually kind of suck if Elon went back to pretending to be a good guy and fronting for liberals pretending to address climate change.
As if there is ever a right reason… They are both unreasonable. Just lucky
I want Lonnie to challenge Donnie to a cage fight. Alas, he’d back out of that if Donnie accepted, just like with Zuckafuck. But Donnie shitting his diaper in a chokehold would be hilarious. And Lonnie pissing himself from all the ketamine would be assured.
Can we please try to make this happen?
Don would chicken out first, TACO
They are both out of shape. Probably fight by proxy
It takes one to know one.
It’s fun to watch two people competing in the marketplace of ideas
