• 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.

    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.

    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.

          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

        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.

    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?
