Fight! Fight! Fight! (grabs popcorn and a few beers).
He can’t do fuck all, Musk was elected president. Trump can smoke a fat dick.
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.
Let’s hope his ego doesn’t let him realize that
The hyaenas will be at each others’ throats constantly. Trust 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.
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.
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.
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.
Trust will be the one defining feature of the
next TrumpMusk administration.
I think this is hilarious. I wonder if they have some kind of agreement that trump can’t just back out of. Maybe it was a handshake deal and he’s just now getting annoying enough?
It isn’t really an ‘agreement’, it is power. Money is power, and that makes Musk extremely powerful. He has shown that he can literally buy congress - either directly, or by threatening to back challengers. And while trump has the title of President, he doesn’t have the power: it has been shown that trump backing a person just isn’t enough to get them elected any more, unlike Musk’s money backing a person.

If it’s this easy to manipulate trump, just imagine how easy it is for Russia.
All part of the theater…
so…we can just pit the vipers against each other until they bite each other to death?
Thats the plan.
Too bad instead of getting to watch from the sidelines safely, we are stuck in the arena with them.
Oh, they are not getting along. Is it time to pacify the populace with some WWE drama!?
Who is the heel Muskrat or Aotus? Maybe they will take turns, won’t that be entertaining!
“So I guess it goes from Putin to Musk to trump to the cleaner’s… right, Kent?”
"It’s times like these I ponder the immortal words of Socrates who said… ‘I drank what?!’
Hot damn I get this reference and love that movie!
At the risk of sounding naive, what movie is this a reference to?
Real Genius it stars Val Kilmer.
Thanks! Didn’t realize that was the movie even though the other comment mentioned it. I thought it was a joke about Trump claiming he’s a stable genius.
You’re welcome. You got to check it out. A great 80’s movie.
Right? A Real Genius quote in the wild just made my day!
Yeah don’t see many quotes from that movie! It’s in my top 10 and I own that movie. Great sound track too.
Reporters need to start asking trump how he likes working with such a wealthy person as Musk…
Their egos are too big to coexist
They should ask Vice President Trump if he enjoys working under “President Musk”
First Lady Trump*
Let him think the public (rightfully) sees him as Elon’s bitch.
Nah, demeaning to women, and I’m not even the type to say that for a lot of things.
Let’s make Trump Elon’s First Lad.
Let’s make Trump Elon’s First Lad.
Now, now. We don’t need to. Trump’s already volunteered for the position.
First man Trump, although does it counts for the title if they’re not married?
Like Ilgar Rahimov for Putin?
They should ask Trump if, while hanging around Musk, Trump has now seen how rich people live.
This is the way
This is the way.
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.
Wait until JD Vance remove Trump using 25th amendment see how that blows their minds.
“We didn’t vote for Felon. Wait, ok, not that Felon”
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.
Lol it’s so easy to manipulate Trump into turning on people.
It’s lucky that Elon is the president and not Trump.
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.
That fuckin dunce is never going to be smart enough to admit fault in anything. Dude could shit his pants and blame someone else in the room the next day, no problem.
I think he does shit his pants. MAGATs went through a phase of “real men wear diapers”.
We have audio of him clearly shitting his pants on camera
Like, why the fuck weren’t more people memeing with that?
