    if Putin taught us anything it is that internal division is the greatest force an enemy can use against you. Look at AMerica right now. It isn't here by accident or circumstance. the division ha been orchestrated and fostered.

    Truth Social finally lives up to the first word in its name (mostly because they failed at the second word, but still, probably an improvement):

    If this is fake then Elon will be removed as CEO of Tesla in an emergency meeting by the board. Not sure that's worth the lulz.

    Or maybe it's just two alpha narcissists who both had their pride hurt and aren't used to backing down.

    Yeah. This is two people surrounded by Yes Men all day who aren't used to any static.

    throw in some ketamine on one side and little rubio cheering the cheeto on and here we are...wow..

    elon is like anyone else with half a brain and any speck of pride, they realize what a true idiot the cheeto is and wonder out loud how in the hell he ever got here. nobody could actually believe he could be that stupid and be where he is, yet. here we are.

    if he would truly fund a third party of moderates, I might even like him again

    Musk, Trump Feud Explodes as President Threatens to Pull Subsidies, Billionaire Floats Third-Party Challenge

    The growing feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk reached a boiling point on Thursday afternoon when Musk voiced support for creating a third political party and Trump threatened to pull Musk’s governmental subsidies and contracts.

    “Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle,” Musk wrote in a post on X.

    The Tesla founder included a poll for his more than 200 million followers asking users to vote “yes” or “no” on the idea of a third political party to challenge Republicans and Democrats.

    Not surprising since his one real success other than his current gig as grifter-in-chief has been as a reality television star. Contrary to his image as a business genius the reality is that he has had a long string of failures.

    And thus, our government is a barely functioning reality show. Good times

    Agree. Elon managed to permanently damage the brand. What will save Tesla is the company's success as a manufacturer of large storage batteries. They're essential for large solar and wind farms which cannot be relied upon to produce power 24/7. An example.

    After the Epstein tweet, I'm sure Elon is hearing from trump's "bodyguards" Just like Katie Johnson, Megyn Kelly, and anyone else who has hurt his feelers.

    If you have seen Andor season 2, this makes more sense.

    a reality star that fomented discord between the subordinates to be able to be arbiter on high, deal maker of all deal makers. that is his core power, it makes up for the fact that he can't pronounce Yosemite or tell you who Patton is. Elon and the treasury secretary and rubio ready to rumble probably gave trump his biggest woodie since the last epstein party. It was game on when they pulled the NASA nomination. Just surprised ELon went scorched earth but I guess the autistic side of him mixed with the ketamine goes full no filter

    Meanwhile, you can always count on buffoons like Steve Bannon for further stir the pot. At least he did admit that DOGE found ZERO fraud.

    - Seize SpaceX
    - Deport Elon
