we at least get one more day of it before then. I'm hoping that eventually it goes so far as a masked ICE agent deporting musk after having his citizenship revoked by trump! (LOL)

I kind of did. It's not as though either of them was willing to play Jan Brady to the other one's Marcia.

Of course! There can only ever be one Marcia. . . Or am I thinking of The Highlander? The point is, both of them operate from a Zero Sum perspective on life. There is no way that either of them can truly share power/the spotlight/control, you name it.

I was just thinking that since Musk knew he could never be elected POTUS, he figured that buying and (presumably) controlling the Most Powerful Person in the World would give him the satisfaction of being de facto POTUS. The problem for him (and all of us, really) is that Trump cannot be controlled; he can only be manipulated-- and all too easily, at that.

So, why didn't Musk just stick with manipulation? Maybe something in his psychology prevents him from using that tactic. Maybe it was too oblique a method and he just wants to be Marcia so badly that he can't even pretend to be Jan.

Like everyone in the DU community, I hope this isn't a Burr vs Hamilton type of spat that destroys both. Thoughts & prayers while they fight.

We know who wins this battle of the clicks. I hope Elon bans Taco from posting on his site. Even if he doesn't have the guts to do that he can make sure Taco's posts always have some glitch in them to keep the numbers low. Truth Social is about to prove it is way overpriced in the market of dangerous investments

His ugly mug in the middle. Telling trump to deport Musk.
I would love to see him taken out by Musk as collateral damage. Bury his nasty ass once and for all.
