    All of a sudden, Trump and Musk are trying to terminate each other. While Trump is trying to bring Musk’s companies down, Musk is calling for his impeachment, calling him out on Twitter as a sex trafficker who was involved with Epstein.

    Funny how predictably all of Trump's alliances end up going in this direction. What's even better is Trump was dumb enough to think he could wipe out the entire government's ability to function with a single bill in the legislature rather than hundreds of separate bills.

    Walking this back and breaking it up probably will take all Summer and substantial work getting done probably won't happen until August when the government runs out of money again. And at that point how much money will Elon have spent to line up new GOP leaders to replace Trump? Sure would be fun if they ended up destroying each other.

    leon is now trying to shift all the blame to trunk, hoping his old liberal pals will come back to the buying table.
    i hope they are smart enough to realize the con he is trying to pull.

    More important than Elon not only failing to get liberals to like him again, but as Lao Tzu teaches in the Art of War: "Never interfere with your enemy when they are making a mistake."

    Update: I just fact checked that quote and turns out its been attributed to Napoleon, which is kinda funny seeing as we're talking about

    That's what makes it so fun... The whole world will never forget what the US is doing to itself right now... They'll be laughing at us for centuries and it seems like the show is just getting started.

    It's about time.

    Use him up, chew him up and spit him out.

    It's happened for over 50 years.

    What else us new?

    Reminds me of the Iran-Iraq war, I was for both sides. Or Hitler vs Stalin.

    Elon's "wealth" is based on the value buyers give to his TSLA stock. When that confidence is lost, he'll only have the corporate property left. His MAGA 'friends' never were fond of Elon's earlier and current businesses.
