they can survive if they pass the bill, having Musk do creative theatre would take the onus off Trump's failure. Just thinking out loud. The drug thing doesn't fit that scenario, unless it was coming out anyway. In any case, I would be a fool to take anything at face value. Everything they do is theatre. When was the last time anyone could verify that Donald told the truth?

I don't think so. Musk is violating very basic boundaries of Taco's malignant narcissism. Scrivener7 Jun 2025 #9

I agree. Musk's contract was up, he really wasn't fired. travelingthrulife Jun 2025 #10

There were a million ways to keep him on. Maybe not fired, but definitely "let go", laid off. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jun 2025 #35
