The soap opera turns sour

[bannork]

Tech billionaire Elon Musk spent the hour of President Donald Trump's press conference both fact-checking the U.S. leader and attacking him for not being grateful to him.

"Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate," Musk wrote on X, replying to a user.

''Such ingratitude," he added.

 

"Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will, anymore," Trump told the press Thursday. 

'Such ingratitude': Elon Musk unloads on Trump with big 2024 election claim

Oh no

[Jingthing]

This "president" is such a corrupt, immoral, and disgusting person that he even makes Elon Musk look almost decent in comparison.

Elon Musk says Donald Trump appears in files relating to the disgraced paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein as the pair dramatically fall out in a public spat.

 

The Tesla boss gave no evidence for the claim but it comes after the US President said he is “disappointed” with Elon Musk for publicly criticising his signature tax bill.

 

In a post on his on his social platform X, the billionaire said: “@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.”

Easiest way to save money is cancelling Elon's contract's according to Trump. Tesla down 14 %. Trump media not doing much better, down 8%.

Totally left field. So unexpected. They seemed so happy together.

 

A "nasty, so nasty" comment from Trump about Musk is due soon.

[JAG]

I must confess that I am surprised. I had thought that their relationship would endure, both had something the other craved, money and power. I have posted that a couple of times.

 

Perhaps I reckoned without their respective egos? Trump may have found another source of cash - the Middle East perhaps?

 

Still, jolly entertaining. And probably more entertainment to come when both parties inevitably start talking about principles!

As to the Trump - Musk dustup, Ms. Karoline Leavitt says (in effect) as she has said before:

Boys will be boys.

[harada]

Under the bus you go Elon, next.😂

[Hanaguma]

How long will it take until the left welcomes Elon back into the fold.....

 

Personally, I agree with him. The deficit is out of control and needs to be reined in.  I guess Trump is learning the gentle art of politics quickly.

He had access to the Epstein files, and, maybe, made copies (I would have in his position). Who knows, if the two former lovers keep quarrelling like this, perhaps, in a rage, Musk might publish them on X... 😆

Quite remarkable!

 

He must have been on a special course! I mean, no one could be such a "nob head" naturally, now could they!

How smart was Vivek to get out of DOGE less than two weeks after he was named to lead it with Musk?

[frank83628]

Oh look, those that were attacking Musk since January all of a sudden do a 180.... so predictable

There is a scene in a Dirty Harry movie where he gives a guy a heart attack by just talking to him.  I imagine hearing the name Epstein coming from EM might affect DT the same way.

Welcome to Twentyfirst Century US entertainment.

It's also quite possible that they secretly agreed to the public dustups to get Musk back in good graces with the lefty terrorists attacking his various business interests.

 

It's 4D chess.  Not checkers like the ex-Biden team's playing.

I’m thinking he’s going to do his best to wreck trump then take his experience and knowledge to China were he can continue his space program.

I am wondering about this too. It is all too convenient, seems scripted...  Trump is an expert troll, he has been trolling Canada for months. I can see the two of them getting together and planning this whole thing, just to mess with the media and their willing syncophants.

I've made no secret about being a wingnut conspiracy fan.

 

But so many of them keep coming true recently...

Maybe it's possible with the 215-214 vote on the "Big Beautiful Bill" there are some Republican Reps. who never (or their staff) read it.

Just sayin'.

Congressman Mike Flood tells crowd he didn't read portions of the Big Beautiful bill before voting to pass it

I presume not if he gets paid enough. 

I wouldn't trust the system though, backdoors wouldn't surprise me.
