Musk vs. DJT - C'est pour rire.

First, they seemed to be in love with each other. Now, the hatred burns like the fires of Hades.

Is this how it is supposed to go at that level of U.S. politics?

My amusement is beyond my experience.

That’s really what is driving Trump nuts. His “wins” have always been questionable and he would have never been president without outside help.

I don't see how they're going to make up, though.

Two really weird personalities linked together. That trick never works.

Plunder and pilfer from the US Treasury and exploit the political power invested in them to achieve an unimaginable access to self enrichment.

That plan is working out just dandy for them both.

The hidden feature of what trDUMP + Musk are up to is to achieve a silent and secret digital coup de' tat so they can amass the Mother load of unauthorized accumulation of personal, private, data on the US citizenry so they can feed this information into a Mother database that can be used against us - but to their financial advantage, reaping billions and billions of dollars to the digital bro-ligarchy.

We have heard of Cambridge Analytica and how that accumulated data was used to throw an election in trDUMP's favor by creating a mini digital propaganda outlet.......

This digital coup de' tat to build the Motherload of consolidated private data is 1,000 times more powerful and way more dangerous than Cambrige Analytica ever hoped or conceived to be. But never the less this is the blueprint from the Cambridge Analytica drawing board Musk/Theil/trDUMP are exploiting to build their Motherload Monster database of each and every American. They seek to hijack the country via sucking up all the information on everybody. Then hijacking the military might of the USA entirely at their disposal - so they can then rule the world exclusively at their terms.

This Musk + trDUMP effort to drag each other and the Big Beautiful Bill through the mud puddle is likely only Kabuki Theater to divert public attention away from their desire to build the Motherload of all Databases. So then they will have a death grip on the throat of America - and all the riches from within will become their's to enjoy - to the exclusion of everyone else.

You have heard of bank robberies and bandits that pull such things off.

This is country robbery,... taking what is ours primarily because we paid the tab to make this country what it is and has become. These tech-bro-bandits seek to rob us of our country from right out from under our noses - then calling the USA their's and their's alone.

They somehow feel entitled to do this because they won the financial lottery game and they feel their wealth and accumulated riches bestow upon them the right to shit on us whenever their little hearts desire.

And like all bitter divorces, there won't be any letting up from either side.

Trump will attack Musk using the power of the government, and Musk will attack Trump using the power of his pocketbook.

It may amuse us and put some focus on this disastrous budget Republicans are wanting to inflict on us all, but it is not good for our country.
