Him and Trumps goals aligned for months, but I always knew that he had his own agenda and goals in mind. I don't mean that in a discrediting way, just that it was naive to assume differently and it is not Musk's fault if others did. As far as the tiff, both acted childish yesterday, but Musk crossed a line by threatening to remove SpaceX which could jeopardize astronauts. If any lefties whether politicians, celebrities or regular people suddenly love Musk after six months of acting like he is the worst threat on the planet, it is concrete proof that their opinion is solely dictated by the media and/or TDS. I must say that I have not seen much of that here in the last few pages and I am pleasantly surprised. I think it's important to note Trump threatened to break contracts with Musk 1st, no? Before we paint Musk as the bad guy. The new Bill proposes 6 Billion in cuts on Nasa projects. Some in different stages of completion. Is this the kind of thanks Musk deserves for being the fall guy? Thinking about selling or giving away Tesla now?

From staunch ally to enemy in how many days? WTAF Its fooking embarrassing for we AMERICANS I haven't had time to read yet but I want to. Im curious you know how I am. My filters are gone. I don't have that many fuqs left for either of them Elon saw HIS bottom line shrinking so he bailed. That has to be part of it Quien es mas macho???? @-@ It's a fooking freak show. MAGA hold up yer FIST SMH I don’t like the chaos in this latest skirmish, and wasn’t a fan of the chaos in his admin the first time. I think they both are behaving quite badly and it’s a bad look for them both. I think what Musk said on Twitter about Epstein was interesting, though I think he was actually quite careful in what he said. I don’t care what the rest of the world thinks, and to be fair I didn’t worry when Biden was an animated corpse supposedly at the top of his game, and the like. It bothers me a bit that this is happening now simply because it somewhat neutralizes the “You dummies thought they were telling you the truth about Biden!” angle with liberals. Beyond that, probably a good time to get the popcorn out. 1

Taro T Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago 19 hours ago, stevestojan said: I’ll show my ignorance here. I understand why Elon would want this. Either short TSLA through a couple layers or get the left to buy his cars. But I’m missing what’s in it for Trump to be called a pedophile by the man with the world’s largest microphone other than just being a distraction to his tariffs. Sorry, honestly missing it - I’m not doubting it because nothing is out of bounds nowadays but fill me in?. Not saying ANY of this is staged or fake; just answering your question of what's in it for 47? Well, he's claimed prior to getting reelected that he wants the Epstein files released. His opponents have been calling Epstein's client list a nothing burger and imply (or explicitly state) that following through on releasing those names would be just going after his political enemies with no actual meat on the bones of any of the accusations. Musk said that 47 shows up IN the Epstein files. That's common knowledge to EVERYBODY because he flew on one of Epstein's other planes from FLA to NYC, he was at many parties that Epstein was at and was photographed with him, and he banned him from Mar-a-Lago. But there has been nothing brought forth yet that indicates he ever went to any of Epstein's properties nor that he specifically took the Lolita Express to Epstein Island. And NOW Democrats like Swalwell are yelling that the Epstein files MUST be released. We know 42 flew to the Island. As did other luminaries like Bill Gates. So, now, much like Brer Rabbit and the Briar Patch, 47 is about to get thrown into the Briar Patch too, which is exactly what he wants and the morons that hate him will be the ones that got them released. IF this stuff is fake; that's one big reason why 47 would want to be playing the charade. 1 1

Thinking about selling or giving away Tesla now? I do not feel a particular loyalty or disdain to either. Both made many irrational threats, but the one that I referenced would put astronauts in jeopardy. TSLA is not a core stock in my portfolio, but I occasionally buy and sell it strategically, this doesn't change that, and neither did his alliance with Trump (besides buying a little before November anticipating a spike from a Trump win). I would not buy any electric car until the range, battery life and long term value get better. I would never vandalize anyone's cars for any reason, but even more so for political ones. Overall, this does not worry me that much yet, they are two hotheads feuding and will probably patch up as quickly as they started the feud. 1 1

Big Blitz Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago And there it is…. He also cast doubt on the notion that Musk’s opposition to the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” is jeopardizing the bill’s chances of success, saying he’s “very confident” that the bill will pass the Senate before July 4. “The Republican Party has never been united like this before. It’s never been. It’s actually more so than it was three days ago,” Trump said. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-elon-musk-consequences-funds-democratic-candidates-rcna211605 Musk gets the distance he needs from Trump and DC - at minimum Tesla dealerships will stop burning. Trump gets the bill. GOP takes away the ridiculous Dem talking point about President Musk and fighting the oligarchy nonsense. My opinion - Trump was comfortable with this after the Wisconsin SC election a few months back that Elon put 20 plus million of his own money into and lost. Elon himself is not going to be a king maker going forward in politics. His Trump endorsement was unique and awesome. But not THE reason Trump won. Which was a confluence of several factors. Elon’s most important contribution for Rs going forward is X. So long as it exists the Dems no longer control the narrative. And that’s what is vital for Rs in elections. Elon will be an influence and important voice. On X. Not campaigning with Elon himself. It’s no longer necessary. You can’t replicate what he did with Trump. It never works that way in politics. But he will help R causes as a continued thought influencer and that’s what matters.
Big Blitz Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Yep -Elon created distance from Trump, which could be beneficial for the long run of Elon’s work in the private sector. Now if Tesla starts booming, the Left cannot claim that Trump is helping his billionaire buddy. This also might help with the Libs keying and firebombing Teslas. -The narratives that Elon controls Trump, and vice versa, have been dispelled. -The Left now have a heightened interest in the Epstein Files, something they used to claim was a conspiracy theory. They are now emotionally invested. -Trump came off as looking stable, mature, goal-oriented, etc., and disproved a lot of anti-Trump talking points with how he handled this little spat. After analyzing the current outcome of the feud, I can see the potential advantages of Trump and Elon having distance between each other, now that Elon’s time as a special government employee is over….
