It’s the latest example in how the once-shaky relationship between the billionaires has steadied.

    He’s trying to have Elon Musk endorse him instead of Kennedy because he knows he needs every single billionaire bootlicking and/or conspiracy theorist voter he can get.

    He knows Musk is still pissed at Biden for snubbing him.

        Trump says whatever he feels that at the moment would get a positive reaction from the audience at the time with zero regards to consistency or truth.

        At the moment of saying that, he wanted to gain Musk’s support.

          Musk is pretty much fucking Tesla into failure at this point, so he’d just have a convenient excuse for its fairies if the sentient cowlick banned EVs.

          Edit: that was supposed to be failure, is it just me, or it’s autocorrect getting worse?

      He just licenses an engine from GM, then put that into the Teslas. Maybe even rename the company to Otto.

        No, it just means that Elon gets a big government paycheck due to the government forcing him to close his 10 Trillion dollar business (Trump math)

      He’s made several statements that Tesla is a AI company. So after the mocking he got for the Cybertruck he maybe he want to pivot Tesla into… I dunno making Grok sound like more of a smug douchebag or something? I mean it’s fairly common knowledge that he’s on a lot of drugs, so who knows what he’s thinking?

        I’ve been rewatching quantum leap lately and it has me wondering what would happen if Sam failed to save the day. His missions were time sensitive, so once a given event would have passed without Sam fixing it, would he have been stuck in that place and time forever?

        If so, would his lifespan be his age/body or that of the person he leaped into?

      It’s not that, it’s more that two raging narcissists can’t occupy the same space at the same time.

    Once he lets these shit bags in it will take a revolution to get them out. Remember that when you go vote. With Democrats we can kick them out because they’re weak shit bags. But the rule now is to never allow republicans back in the room ever again. Let their cults die.

    Yup, he’s already been working around the clock to make an even more scummier administration. I think he even wanted Vince McMahon involved too. Just more cushy jobs for people he finds friend in, through his fractured world perspective.
