I believe it's a media tactic to publish stories like that, Trump's bromance with Musk is sour, Trump not happy with Netanyahu, Trump angry with Putin. All these stories serve the purpose that Trump can show growth. In reality, neither Trump or Musk care.

its all a distraction and sanewashing. to the horrible tarriffs, the doge cuts, the continued support of gaza, notice how all that partially disappeared from the MSMs, they are complicit because they are owned by conservatives too.
and the biggest one right now, is medicaid/care and tax cuts right now. it was the same tactic they used to bury all the luigi news from DEC-JAN.
all those trump's(hate this or that") are just gaffes.
And neither have the capacity for growth. However, Trump does care what people think. It's part of his narcissism.
He certainly doesn't care what i think
Yeah in this thumbnail image it looks like Musk is holding back a smile as if it's all a setup to dupe the masses.
The image is from March, but who knows
I am more inclined to believe Thiel set him up to be the face of all the DOGE work and then had him step down when Kratsios was nominated.
I also saw something about nuralink stock being up though, so could be a distraction
I just see it like two fat kids fighting over a burger. Only so much of the US to eat.
he polls terribly? HE'S NOT AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. How the fuck does he poll?
You can poll anything, you just need money to run a poll and people to answer.
You can create a poll for anything?
If you read the quote from the anonymous source in Trump's voice...it sounds exactly like the way he would shit talk somebody
Right? I was surprised it said anonymous because I immediately had his face in mind when I read it.
Dont believe in Eloj. Still a Nazi. Picture probably for all show. Avoid Tesla at all cost.
Also SpaceX. Fuck SpaceX - that actually hurts me to type, but yeah fuck 'em. Their employees should all go work for a competitor.
Like either of them ever actually liked each other. Purely a transactional relationship never without an expiration date.
I hope he gets sued to high hell and Trump refuses any pardons or support and Elon legitimately ends up in prison.
Or he gets cancer.
Or he overdoses.
IDGAF at this point, he needs to end and Tesla needs to collapse.
I can think of like a dozen people who need to go away and never be heard from again. Elon is just another grifter
Trump, Musk, Putin, Netanyahu, etc are symptoms of a disease. We need to treat the cause or a new douchebag will simply fill the void.
Nah, it's all an act. Polls show that HitlerPig's numbers are slipping, so they are blaming his associations with Skum and Putin, so he is talking them down right now. It must be them, right? Everybody would love HitlerPig if those other guys were out of the picture.
Now that he's disavowed Skum and Putin, his numbers will certainly go up. That's what they're thinking.
It won't work. Everybody hates him.
why do i still see the scumrat sucking around the Whitehouse
They want him to take a out of the limelight approach I guess.
He’s just now figuring out he’s disposable. “Brilliant business man” gets fucked over by sundowning Nazis.
Appears
This looks like it was either made in the 2020s or early 2000s no in-between.
This is what it felt like, living from the early 2000s to the 2020s.
Terrible
They're both shitcunts with massive egos, I knew it wouldn't be long before there was a rift
Did he beat the cabbage?
Wonder if elon still calls?
Or, he's trying to distance himself by using the media. Like how he usually will make false statements to gain attention to Doge Coin or the boring company and all the other companies he tries to get attention for.
So he was really "fired" or asked to leave DOGE.
I supported DOGE's mission to cut federal spending and honestly I think DOGE was the last chance to save our Republic. The fact is the USA is a late-stage Republic and with every multi-trillion dollar spending bill we are witnessing the end of the Republic. Trump's "big beautiful bill" is going to cost 3.8 trillion dollars. Remember the COVID inflation? It's about to get even worse than that. Every new spending bill is bigger than the last, and pushes us deeper into the death spiral of hyperinflation. We are following in the same footsteps of every failed Republic before us. The Romans debased their currency, the Weimar Republic tried to print their way out. We are next.
I see a lot of left-wingers comparing this administration to Palpatine in star wars. What if I told you DOGE was the last effort to avoid a Palpatine scenario?
There are too many cronies in Washington DC. Too many entitled people who think they deserve wealth and power, who stuff our spending bills full of pork. The spending will be cut, but we had a choice. We could choose to cut spending willingly and preserve the current system, or we could go full steam ahead into hyperinflation and destroy the system, resulting in the collapse of the dollar. DOGE wanted the fed to cut spending willingly. Musk wanted to preserve the system. Now we will realize the alternative.
LOL - What if I told you that is not DOGE's mission and it never was?
The whole point of DOGE was to make federal employees AFRAID. That's it, and in that, and only that, they have been supremely effective:

This has been the stated purpose from the beginning. If you believe otherwise, then you missed them telling you this:
“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” Vought said in a video revealed by ProPublica and the research group Documented in October. “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down … We want to put them in trauma.”
As always, the cruelty is the point. It's NEVER been about efficiency.
Well TBF, I think they also existed to cover up the money that was being stolen to pour into these AI data centers, but disguise that missing money as "savings." Pretty sure they thought they would be able to make so much money so quickly, that they would just be able to replace it before anyone realized all of those "savings" numbers were just bullshit.
Not that they ever planned to actually bring any of the jobs back, but likely thought they could replace the money that was stolen and then just automate those jobs anyway bc AI is apparently magic

DOGE is nothing but a money funneling operation of your tax dollars directly to the wealthy while it weakens and destroys the institutios keeping this country afloat. It's the exact same in motivation as the "Big Beautiful Bill" that shit stain you voted for put out. Good job guzzling bullshit and pretending it's intellect juice.
