    Well we all know it’s true, Trump is mentally weak and is easily manipulated by President Musk.

    Reporters need to start asking trump how he likes working with such a wealthy person as Musk…

    Their egos are too big to coexist

    What Trump is too stupid to realize is that this is Musk’s presidency. Trump has always been a puppet to money and Elon can just buy him off, like he bought his way into Tesla.

      And Musk os too stupid to realize that Trump cares about the image of holding piwer, not about the power itself. He’s very easy to control from the shadows, but Elon can’t keep his face out of the public eye.

      I think it was an YUGE step for Trump to admit he can’t do the job on his own. And, to let Rupert Murdoch and Vladmir make him let Elon have control could not have been easy. So kudos Don, for admitting you’re just not smart enough and needed help.

      The greatest South African inserted Immigrant President of all time.

    Unsurprisingly, this also works on Trump supporters. They get furious when you even go so far as accidentally and unintentionally imply that Musk’s opinion will influence Trump’s actions.

    8 years ago I’d have thought “Elon will step out of the limelight to avoid upsetting Trump so he can use his White House access to make a ton of money.” Now, I know he’s just as narcissistic and stupid as Donald Trump is.

      Something in him changed. Broke. Maybe all the drugs fucked him up. Idk. I used to look up to him. In the last say decade, I’ve condemned him. I’d love to see him flogged in public.

        I can’t even be excited for the awesome things some of his compaines are doing. The engineers ar Space X are doing amazing work but all I think about when I see it is Musk.

        His origin story is that he bullied a kid so much for dead parents in his school that the kid eventually pushed Elon down the stairs and he swore to never be able to be picked on again.

        He’s always been a villain he was just charismatic enough and pretended to be the good guy until the mask broke and he went full villain to try and put the mask back up.

    The hyaenas will be at each others’ throats constantly. That will be the one defining feature of the next Trump administration.

      This specific tension happened a lot sooner than I expected.

      Let’s see… a guy famous for (among other things) owning a company that builds electric cars teams up with the guy who said he wants to outlaw electric cars. Fireworks were inevitable at some point.

        I don’t think EVs are the key issue here. The key issue are the grotesquely overinflated egos they both have. It’s basically impossible for them to accept anyone as equal.

        No it’s a guy who wants to be king vs a guy who wants to hold the whip but both view themselves as heroes and the greatest gift to humanity.

        One thinks his personality is what won him over and will keep all the support of his followers and one thinks he’s the smartest person in the room and his correctness will show that he deserves all his followers.

        It’s cult leader narcissist vs cult leader narcissist. They don’t even have to get to policy before the breakdown occurs.

        Tesla produces primarily stock market manipulation schemes, cars secondly…

        The value isn’t tied to the cars they produce now, so it doesn’t matter how many cars they actually sell.

        That was an autocorrect error. None of those fuckers trust each other one bit.
