If/when Trump and Musk fall out, what will it be over? The results?

Not a single mention of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, who were married twice. Note: they began dating when he was 22 and she was… 14.

The past is a foreign country they do things differently there…

Leon is always trying to do the amazing and impossible: build autonomous cars, send rockets to Mars, etc. But this was his greatest challenge of them all: making Trump look mature and disciplined in comparison with someone else!

Yeah, he can always say he got a bad batch and now has a new supplier.

I thought it was the other way around. He sobered up for a minute and went “wait, what am I doing?”

Sad to see they have made up but I wonder how many Scaramuccis it will be before they have a clash of the egos again.

If this break results in fewer government contracts for Musk’s companies, that would be a good thing.

I claimed they would be back in a week. It didn’t take that long. Couple of five year olds.

Don’t insult my child like that!

Maybe. Or maybe he has believed for a while that he could arrest the plummet of his Tesla stock price by means of a Drama: Elon Defies Donald; Elon Realizes Donald IS the Dear Leader (After All).

Not that I don’t think Elon was impaired during the Drama. He was definitely abusing something (likely the ketamine, but with him, who knows?)

He wanted a way of changing the “Elon sleeps at the White House/Elon is Donald’s right hand” narrative, that wouldn’t be dull. No simple “Elon walks away” would do. Also, I think he is genuinely pissed that Donald’s bill doesn’t mandate EVs, and that Donald snubbed Elon’s choice for NASA. Elon’s pride required that he do something Dramatic to in response to those insults from Donald.

To sum up: I think the Drama was partly fake (because Elon never said anything genuinely unforgiveable*) and partly real (for the reasons given in the previous paragraph).

.* On the topic of Musk’s remarks about Donald not winning on his own:

I don’t think this is quite right. Donald enlisted the help of quite a few people in addition to Elon during his campaign. If he were truly at the level of mental disturbance that would require he become President with NO help at all, he wouldn’t have enlisted those supporters to appear with him, etc.

That said, he certainly is mentally disturbed. Just not in a way that would require him to campaign all by himself (out of a belief that He Is Enough).

Just call it confiscation of suspected drug assets.

Besides, he’s a furriner. He might even be illegal. It’s okay to take their shit.

Maybe slept with a girlfriend, depending on how much I liked her and other factors.

But all real men are pedos anyway, so what’s a harmless joke among buddies, amI right? Besides, who would believe that old goatfucker?

Since when has that mattered to the orange idiot?

:laughing:

Better yet, say that the reason why Musk bought Twitter in the first place was so that he could own the world’s biggest archive of child porn and the world’s biggest network of people who produce it. So that means we’ve got to seize every electronic thing he has ever touched and all of his money (which is obviously all profit from the illegal stuff). If Trump said something like this I’d almost believe it and if anyone other than Trump said it, I’d fully believe it.

It was dumb of Elon to brag that he’d be around for forty years. They might not be good years.

More grist for the mill:

The former boss of the Department of Government Efficiency has ramped up his attacks on White House staffer Sergio Gor.

Elon Musk has accused one of President Donald Trump’s top aides of committing a federal crime.

Weeks after the epic breakup between the president and the world’s richest man, Musk has continued to snipe at Sergio Gor, the director of the presidential personnel office, who he believes fueled his falling out with Trump.

So trumpie and elon are on the outs again? I guess you have to check to see if elon’s personal flag is flying over the White House. Like the way you tell if the monarch is in Buckingham Palace.

Musk accusing another government department head of committing a crime. Between this, Bannon going after Musk, and Tucker Carlson skewering Ted Cruz, I’m almost enjoying this.

It would be more fun to watch if they were using real skewers. Or roasting spits.

Bring back jousting !

Be of good cheer, jousting is still [again] here!

They’re fighting again!

I love it when Mommy Daddy and Daddy fight. :boxing_glove: :boxing_glove:

More like Daddy and Uncle Fester.

On the ‘Musk may create a third party’ story: there’s speculation that he may base it on the uproar over the Epstein files. Much of MAGA is freaking out over the Trump Justice Department’s failure to make public what Donald promised to make public back when he was campaigning.

Imagine Donald’s surprise when his fans actually expect him to do something he promised…but in any case, Elon sees an opportunity here.

Siphoning off votes from the conspiracy-theory-focused crowd can only harm Republicans (who count on a lot of votes from those people) and help Democrats (who do not).

Sounds good to me…
