    Covering up all the money they are siphoning to Elon’s businesses. This was never about improvement. It’s about securing contracts. We all saw this coming. Elon was supposed leave after he had the contracts secured.

    Haha, elon is pretending not to be a nazi, because he is a ketamine addict and trump is pretending not to have anything to do with elon, because everyone hates him.

    I wonder sometimes what it’s like exactly, being in the Cheeto guy’s head because the idea that he and Elon would have a falling out eventually just seemed so utterly predictable to me, some guy, that it’s sort of hard wrap my head around how he could fail to see this coming. People will say o shouldn’t be surprised, it’s not complicated, he’s just dumb but like, this isn’t like a policy thing, it’s not that I’m surprised he didn’t expect his ideas to fail it’s just this personal relationship was so clearly not to last because of what both these guys are like and I’d have thought this should be obvious to Trump himself from prior experiences with people. It was never going to work where the new friend and political ally views himself as at least an equal, Trump’s obviously going to hate that.

      Trump, Elon and all the other narcissistic sycophants aren’t friends, they’re barely even friendly!

      Rather they’re all simply leeches who are using each other to get what they want. They have no friendship or loyalty for each other, which is hilarious when you remember that Trump brought all these people on for their “loyalty”.

      And Trump is stupid enough to confuse a complete lack of morals and willingness to do whatever you order with loyalty.

      The moment any of them blink the others attack and Trump is barely keeping these fucks under control, to the point where they’re literally punching each other, in the white house!

      Yeah, I can’t figure it out either. Except that Trump is a user - a people user - and he saw Musk as someone he could use.

      There are two things about this falling out that surprise me: First, it took a LOT longer than I expected, and second, it’s nowhere near as contentious as I expected.

    No it wasn’t he shut down all the investigations into himself and stole a ton of data to give to Russia.

    How could that all be bullshit?

    Brian Tyler Cohen doesn’t always respond to tweets. But when he does, he responds to tweets by Brian Tyler Cohen.

      Yeah, his youtube channel is mostly “DESTROYS”, “BRUTAL”, “ERUPTS”, “FREAKS OUT” headline hype. Not healthy to consume, even when you want tramp gone.

      It served its purpose, it cut aid to those who needed it and gave money to those who didn’t. I think maybe they thought that cutting the social safety nets would have saved more money, but that’s all they’re going to be upset about.

        Turns out the real welfare queens were the military and healthcare insurance companies all along.

        Also, Elon was able to install some backdoor hacks for foreign leaders with his access to about a dozen of our agencies’ systems.

        If a regular citizen did that, the FBI would kidnap and torture them.

    “There are no silver bullets.”

    That’s the easy most accessible piece of Wisdom in Business there is.

    Of course, Trump hasn’t actually learned that lesson, because his whole style is to ride the wave and hope for the best, not to actually think about things, before or after, which is why he’s so easy to manipulate by others and why you get things like him chickening out so often that there is now the TACO trade.

    As much as I’d love to see Musk be on the next rocket, functional or not, to Mars, I also expect Trump to take 0 responsibility for any negative outcome and all credit for any positive downfall regardless of his actual involvement no matter how remote.

    Cohen said Mango Mussolini will go after Leon’s cash. I would not be surprised and hopefully they attack each other.

      their egos are so massive they will out each other for election fraud. That is after all what they had on each other all along.

    Musk now has internet-connected backdoored computers installed on multiple government networks that were previously airgapped.

    He isn’t going to just give up access peacefully.

        If we’re going by that logic, then all of Fourteen Eyes, yeah.

        But this is about one specific billionaire who is known to be extremely mentally unstable and on copious amounts of drugs who was just publicly denounced by his dear leader.
