Trump v Musk; popcorn moment!

[fixingmylife]

Musk has just tweeted that Trump is on the Espstein list. Shock horror, not! :-) This is going to roll and roll. USA elected children to run the country and to be the leader of the Western World! Popcorn at the ready......

I said (as did many) that this moment would come. Amazed it happened so quickly.

Musk will always have known about Trump and Epstein…..but have been prepared to ignore it while it suited him. Now he acts all morally outraged. Fucking hypocrite. He couldn’t care less.

hope Trump deports him though. Can’t stand either of them. When do we think ICE will come for him?

I agree. Wouldn't have thought anyone could be worse than Trump, but the thought of Vance is utterly terrifying.

Because Elon was so arrogant he forgot who actually buys electric cars. You know, those pesky little people, the buyers.

Overwhelmingly they are environmentally conscious people, with left-leaning sensibilities most often Democrat or independent voters.

They're not climate sceptic, gas guzzling, prepping for the apocalypse, two things they'll never take from me are my truck and my guns, frack baby frack, Trumper Republicans.

By creating tension and drama and pretending to suddenly hate Trump, Elon is hoping to win that buyer base back. The anti-Trump base. The Republican base isn't where it's at. He realised that albeit late.

What's going to happen to the South African refugees who are apparently victims of a genocide that Trump brought over?

Well, it's certainly extremely entertaining but I think that's the whole point. Musk is either playing his hand brilliantly or is just completely imploding. I'm just glad we sold our Tesla shares months ago and didn't buy a Cybertruck!

I haven't been following this enough. Is it true they were they given farms to manage in the USA?

Right! I'm disgusted, but Trump really is the lesser of the two evils ☹️

I’m surprised that they made it to inauguration day tbh.

The breakup was inevitable.

I agree and also think the Zia Zusuf resignation is also linked somehow.

The only positive about Vance is that no one likes him. The Republicans won because of Trump in the same way Reform's popularity is due to Farage - and look how they keep imploding.

The Trump/Epstein claims aren't new though, are they? MAGAs believe what they want to believe so not sure this would make any difference. What would be hilarious is Musk claiming he definitely interfered with the election.

Has Musk only just noticed that the tariffs could cause a recession? Because otherwise you'd have to wonder why he didn't say anything when they were first announced.

JD was put in the WH by Thiel who is Musk’s big buddy. My money is on Trump going one way or another and replaced by Vance. As Carole Cadwalladr said, never ever underestimate Peter Thiel who plays the long game.

Or producing proof that the Russians helped to fix the election.

That would be like the gift that keeps on giving, wouldn’t it? This is literally the only good thing to have come out of his presidency so far - the entertainment is top notch.

I think reform, Musk & our mate Tommeh might be hanging out together soon.

I did think it was probably all a setup to try and restore Musk's reputation, but I can't believe it would go this far if that were the case. It's going to make them both look terrible - the paedophile and the guy who was fine being mates with the paedophile (and letting him play with his son...) so long as he was getting paid. Fuck me, dunno how he's going to get out of this one!

Interesting. I don't know anything about Thiel, I will have to do some reading.

Two massive ego's, one who thinks he rules the world and one who thinks he owns the universe......and they fall out. Who could have predicted that?!

They both thought they could use the other to promote their own interests, and will end up with them both on their arses!

Its fucking hilarious!

What a shame Musk can't run for President.

Instead he's going to talk about setting up a new political party just to try and fuck off Donnie. Yep I bet he will try and cosy up to Farage. That'd be amusing. Farage then gets to play peacemaker or piggies in the middle. And hopefully gets trampled in the handbags at down.

Musk will have a sudden overdose or Trump will suddenly have a medical overdose. Then they'll pretend their best buds to try and make even more money.

Trump falls out with everyone sooner or later. His first presidency was littered with key people leaving and Trump rubbishing them.

But Musk - after all the DOGE hype it’s going to be interesting.

Why would he cosy up to Farage? He already fell out with Farage over Tommy Robinson and said he wasn't fit to lead Reform and Rupert Lowe should lead it instead.

An interesting, obviously very intelligent and scary man.

Huge libertarian and (was?) long time Trump supporter but likely looking to put his man in the big chair at the WH.

Gabriel Gatehouse's podcasts The Coming Storm are worth listening to. I think he might talk about Peter Thiel in some of those. But article here is kind of the flavour of the podcasts.

Totally disagree. It was always inevitable that they’d fall out - it was just a matter of when. Both massive egos with completely conflicting agendas. Arseholes.

I did wonder at the time if Trump gave Elon the black eye.
