I’m not at all surprised, but I’m confused by how otherwise rational, level-headed people treat someone as despicable as Trump like he’s some kind of second coming.
What is it?
One after another gets thrown under the bus, yet others keep lining up for tickets to board the same bus.

Don't understand it. Since I was a boy I've been trying to understand how so many bright talented men followed Hitler to the gates of hell.
In Trump's case the fear and closeness to power factors are way less attributable (in a 'free democracy''}. So, it could only be greed upon greed plus perceived commonality such as supremacy and hatred of 'the other'

Business and politics are tricky. Musk desperately trying to save his business.

If the MAGA sheep boycott Tesla and X, Musk won’t have any customers. Noting will be left when they demand all of Musk's lucrative government contracts be cancelled.

He's now tweeting that DJT is part of the Epstein files. WTAF????

Elon is implying that his association with DJT is crippling Tesler (sic) and other parts of his RE business model so he is lashing out big time. DJT is King Midas Bizarro.

Yes, I am surprised it took this long. However there was a 270 million dollar cushion and Elon got his regulations and oversight out of the way.

This will get very interesting. Tariff Man is making an enemy of a guy who spent $200 million to help Tariff Man get elected, knows where the bodies are buried so to speak, has a bully pulpit called X, and can spend billions of his personal funds to get Republicans thrown out of the House and Senate. Let's see how many members of the House and Senate take sides in this fight. And let's see how many members of the House and Senate vote for Trump's Big Beautiful Bill if Musk threatens to give financial support to candidates who primary them.

Musk is threatening to start a 3rd political party now. I just voted in favor of a third party in Musk's poll on X smile

Don't put this past Elon as some effort to rebuild his Tesla customer base. He knows MAGA aint buying his electric cars and the only way he can sell more cars in this climate is to turn on Trump.

GOP in panic since they were depending on his pocket to bail them out in the mid terms if they pass that big "disgusting abomination" bill. I expect it to fall apart spectacularly now that Musk and Trump in a Twerf war big grinbig grin

"The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

'He is an illegal alien': MAGA leader calls on Trump to deport Musk 'immediately'

The feud between President Donald Trump and Tesla/SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is rapidly intensifying, and now one of Trump's most influential backers is calling on the president to deport the South African centibillionaire.

According to a Thursday report by the New York Times' Tyler Pager, Steve Bannon – who went from being Trump's 2016 campaign chairman to Trump's official White House chief strategist during his first term – wants his former boss to send the world's richest man back to South Africa. The MAGA podcaster told the Times that he was convinced that Musk's immigration status should be scrutinized.

Musk already fired back saying that he will set about decommissioning his spaceship named Dragon immediately. NASA uses his spaceship to bring its astronauts into space. NASA have astronauts in space...As we speak

Two ego maniacs...was never going to work out...Trump must not have let Elon too close to administration..

 
Drapsey 2025-06-06 13:19:26 


As per CNN (if we can 'trust' them on this subject) a truce on the #45/47 vs Elon Musk is imminent. Wonder if the mention of the Epstein 'files' was the tiebreaker.

Allies tried to broker Trump-Musk peace. An Epstein files allegation complicated things

“This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted. The President is focused on passing this historic piece of legislation and making our country great again,” Leavitt said.

Musk has not detailed how he would have gained access to unreleased files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and has not provided any evidence of where his information was coming from.

In reply to Walco

MAGA don't care about the 'big beautiful breakup'. They don't care if Trump was friends with Epstein or guilty of the of the same crimes as Epstein.

Musk was useful to Trump during the campaign. Spent millions of dollars to get Trump elected. Musk was useful in the early days of DOGE until he pissed off a lot of people.

Musk is not useful to Trump anymore. What MAGA do care about is that Trump validates their bigotry.

Musk is not useful to Trump anymore.

Trump has used and discarded many before, but never anyone with 300 billion dollars and a bully pulpit like X. It's not just Trump who should be concerned about a Musk split with MAGA. Every congressman and senator should be concerned as well.

The idea of a third party intrigues me because I think it will draw more votes from Republicans than Democrats.

 
Drapsey 2025-06-07 18:12:54 


And the kas-kas continues ...

Trump says Musk will face 'very serious consequences' if he funds Democratic candidates

President Donald Trump on Saturday said there would be “serious consequences” if tech mogul Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in favor of the GOP’s sweeping budget bill.

“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.

I'll bet on an ICE 'raid' on our African American brother.

I always thought that a breakup between the two was inevitable, but who would've guessed that things would deteriorate to this level.

He'll have Musk deported.

Remember there was some story about Musk violating the terms of his student visa, which supposedly made him ineligible for naturalization. Nothing came of it then because he was shelling out his millions in buying votes for you know who.
