Do you believe the fight is real? [View all]

Musk was always planning to leave after what, 100 days or so? Rump gives musk a gold key to Washington. Then, musk is out, and within 24-hours musk is meanmouthing trump's signature bill for tax cuts to the rich.

musk has to repair the damage done to Tesla, which apparently contributes a lot of money to his empire, although now, with all the new government contracts he got, that may become moot. I dunno. I don't think it is salvageable. But, he's going to try. He sure didn't anticipate the loss of Tesla.

I'll believe this when trump reneges on one of those billion dollar contracts that musk got. musk participated in DOGE until he eliminated all the detriment he had from the various departments he trashed. Also, probably got some real dirt, and some backdoor secret control, over all that stuff. Plus the contracts. So, he really, really profited from this association. trump will have to take away some contract to get even with this double dealing on musk's part.

Musk shows his true colors when he attends a presser and accepts that gold key, and then immediately denounces the bill. What a lowlife. But, he has to do something for Tesla. His first loyalty is to himself. So, don't believe whatever he says about "bankrupting the U.S." He doesn't care about that as long as he gets his cut. Which, as far as I can see, he already got. He already took food out of the mouths of other people's children.

I am not so sure that this isn't a ploy on both their parts. I don't follow musk, and most people won't let him rehab his own reputation by following his lead. He's a rat. But, trump uses such stuff to distract, he thrives on chaos and musk is still the richest man on the planet. He's still useful no matter what. So, I think this could be a setup.

It's not that I think that musk isn't capable of sticking a knife in trump's back. I just am not convinced that this is real.
