He wouldn’t care as much as you when he bans you from X, Donald. 😁

Of course, gotta be a fool to not see it would all end badly two of the biggest egos in the world.

[spidermike007]

Of course. I predict this goon will go after Musk on every level possible, he will try to cancel his government contracts, he will try to steal his money, you will try to cancel all the Tesla tax credits, and he will try to cripple the man for having the audacity to tell it like he sees it, and to speak the truth, something that you never, ever should do around Trump, as he abhors truth on every level possible. Truth has always been the enemy of the huckster and scam artist. 

[Jim Blue]

Interesting to see what his net worth would be without all those Government contracts ?

Trumps team is now looking at deporting Ellen, or is it Elon?

America, the country where even the men are frail, entitled Karens.

What a <deleted>ehole.

It started right after Muskngot what he wanted for his business. He played Trump and Trump was too stupid to see it, just like his followers. Once Musk told Trump he was leaving Trump did exactly what Trump always does and bashes, degrades and try to bully the point that leave him. Only problem is Musk has F you money and Trump doesn't. Hahahaha  even worse for Trump is Musk will tell the truth about the dirt on Trump!   Now that's big league Winning isn't it?

Well, he's catching up, alas mostly in crypto, but also by turning his presidency into personal money making machine. If people keep on buying his coins, paying millions for dinner invitations, donating planes, etc., Donald actually has a chance of exceeding wealth of Musk, if the latter keeps on sending his companies into the ground by detachment and ignorance.

 

Source for part of the above with a tiny bit quoted:

 

"The bottom line is it appears like he's profiting off of his public office," said Virginia Canter, State Democracy Defenders chief counsel for ethics and anticorruption. Canter, who co-authored the new report, served as senior ethics counsel for the Treasury Department under both Republican and Democratic administrations.

I haven't looked lately, but the whole little feud was escalating. Musk first announced that he was decommissioning the SpaceX Dragon program, but then changed his mind a few hours later. 

 

Anyway, if the Tesla stock keeps going lower, it might be an excellent buy.  I bought a buuch at $150, and I'd happily buy more, even at the current level.  This will blow over. 

 

Don't take this as any kind of financial advice. Jut my feelings about it all.

The whole of dictator Trumps empire is a joke, Musk was a joke to begin with........😂

Doomed relationship from the start, two Alpha males, both with incredible power

Trump threatens to cut Musk's government contracts as their public feud escalates.

 

That bromance dissolved about as quickly as I thought it would.  Up next: he'll turn over most of his cabinet by the end of the year.

Who knew dating a guy dressed in black into chainsaws and K would end like this...

I'd revise that for my version:

 

Two of the biggest LOONS in the world!

And  then of course there was this, as recently reported by the New York Times:

 

On the Campaign Trail, Elon Musk Juggled Drugs and Family Drama

As Mr. Musk entered President Trump’s orbit, his private life grew increasingly tumultuous and his drug use was more intense than previously known.

Updated May 31, 2025

As Elon Musk became one of Donald J. Trump’s closest allies last year, leading raucous rallies and donating about $275 million to help him win the presidency, he was also using drugs far more intensely than previously known, according to people familiar with his activities.

 

Mr. Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it.

Which now has led to this:

House Democrats investigate alleged Elon Musk drug use

Jun 4, 2025

 

The top House Democrat on a key investigative panel is asking President Trump whether he had any knowledge of alleged drug use by Elon Musk.

...

Driving the news: Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), the acting ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, sent Trump a letter asking him "any information you or any Administration officials have regarding whether Mr. Musk consumed any illicit substances" while running DOGE.

...

Reality check: Trump is unlikely to respond to the letter, and Lynch as the ranking minority member on the panel has no power to compel him to testify or turn over documents.

Musk says Trump is named in Epstein files

06/05/25

 

Billionaire Elon Musk alleged that President Trump has ties to convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein as the part of his growing feud with the president, a fight that boiled over and turned personal on Thursday.

 

“Time to drop the really big bomb,” Musk wrote on X, the social platform he owns. “[Trump] is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.”

 

Minutes later, he followed up: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”

They also have a battery plant in China, Musk needs to stay out of politics the backlash of teaming up with Trump is decimating Tesla.

 

China are fast becoming the leader in EV's making Teslas very expensive in comparison which is why Tesla needs a new cheaper car.
