It’s incredible that Trump is still able to convince people to do his bidding only to be humiliated whenever it suits him. Has anyone ever worked with him and came out better for it on the other side?

Elon built a kingdom for tyrants, then got mad when the crown didn’t fit his head. He thought buying Twitter made him king, but Trump just reminded him he’s court jester with Wi-Fi. This is what happens when tech bros flirt with fascismβ€”they end up discovering hierarchy the old-fashioned way. From underneath it. Blessed be the lesson learned too late

This explains dictatorship hierarchy well. No wonder they want a destroyed government, ballroom, luxury airplanes, and all the taxpayers money.

πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘This makes my day! Couldn't happen to a more perfect person. I've never cared for Melon Husk. He's white privilege at it's very worst. I hope his stocks tank on the news. I dont like weird ass Besos either, but give it time Trump will turn on him nextπŸ˜‰

C’mon Elon. Do one good thing in your life and testify under oath about the 24 election.

Saying yet again, it’s like nobody ever read Bulgarov’s β€œThe Master and Margarita” except for maybe Bowie and Jagger….

Tech bros warring, not surprised. In the authoritarian model of tech bros domination over us lowly serfs, they didn't think the dog eat dog mentality would come to bite them. MuskX will no doubt change his tune to rival the sycophantic cabinet in lavish praise for felonpotus - he who demands unquestionable loyalty, and pits rival over rival in a game of thrones, US version. It's the only game bullies know how to do. But it will bite pedopotus eventually as well.

β€œGradatim Ferociter”- step by step ferociously. No clue there, I guess. Blue Origin β€˜s motto makes me wonder about what’s up now. now. That’s what they’re doing, maybe their craft will be better for it but I’ve found SpaceX’s adventures and β€œURD” (or RUD) as they call explosions- to be much more fun to watch. And Schadenfreude, obviously. (Still, I was stoked to see the boosters landing for reuse and the β€œcatch” by the Chopsicks was impressive). It’s hard to be an aerospace geek now that we know who these people really are, and apparently NASA will soon be a hollow shell.

Musk, Bezos, Thiel, etc. are fools. They are merely oligarchs: people with a lot of money who are trying to leverage that to gain power. Trump, on the other hand is a kleptocrat: someone with power who uses it to gain money.

Oligarchs are a kleptocrat's natural prey. Musk is a gazelle who tried to control a lion, and now he's paying the price. He should get down on his hands and knees and thank God that Trump is a much less effective kleptocrat than Putin is; if he was a Russian oligarch, he'd be taking his own space flight right now, right out a skyscraper window!

ELON

250 million to get Trump elected

He was β€œco-president”

He was β€œthe first buddy”

He was going to β€œrule the world” -

He could flash a heil hitler salute and take a chain saw to our government

Mini Elon could wipe his boogers on the resolute desk

He could spend 20 million on a state election- and lose!

And after he had done all of Trump’s dirty work he became toxic πŸ₯΅

TESLA tanked

He became a worldwide pariah and suddenly he was gone - everything crumbled

And now a kick in the balls by taking away millions in government contracts

KARMA IS PRICELESS!

If only the infighting didn't have spillover effects on everyone else.
