Trump will separate himself from this by saying, "I barely know Musk; only met him once or twice."

My iPad wouldn’t let me pick “like” so this is my like.

I said probably not for three reasons: Elon is white, male, and rich.

Yeah, but so were the oligarchs who displeased Vlad the Defenestrator.

As always, we don't take sides in these squabbles, we just root for injuries.

It's a tough choice for Trump...ditch a toady and lose the financial support or figure out some way to make it look like he (Trump) is actually leading (when it's obvious he's not). So, in the face of a lose-lose situation he will probably pretend it's not there and try to make it go away. Sort like the cost of groceries..."it's really hard to reduce prices."

Not thrilled to see an AI illustration here, to be perfectly frank.

That collection of arms is pretty trippy!

Fomenting discord among the minions should be child's play.

Some dastardly contingent of democrats should be thinking about encouraging the rats to f*** each other.

Luckily most are incels and can't get laid. Sadly though, some have already spawned.

It's a freaking CULT. Trump knew from the beginning ("I could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue") that once those morons voiced their support for him, they would never, never have the guts to say they were wrong.

FFS, he TOLD them he will let Putin do "whatever the hell he wants" and they still simper along in his wake saying he has some grand overreaching plan and wizardry that makes him the one that really weilds all the power.

Just don’t look behind the curtain!

Hillary's "deplorables" comment was weaponized and echoed again and again by the right wing media. This won't affect anything unless Fox News decides to go after Musk.

In other words, it won't affect anything.

I was always bemused that so much rage came in response to a very mild term. Likely, it was the response from a very insecure population with a limited range. How dare she deplore them when she was so wrong about everything?

I am too old for this shit! I plan to just sit back and watch the chaos blow up in trumpies face. And hope he doesn’t cause any damage our country can’t turn around. 🤞

The scary part is that VP Chump can still appoint whatever judges President Musk tells him to.

Not into the AI use.

Trump is happy when his base loves him best. For this week, ELNO gets to be the heel which suits Trump fine. ELNO will still get what he paid for, once the base goes back to hating on people who have sex in ways they don’t like.

Since Elmo has enough money to be stupid longer than everyone else on the planet, hurling insults and poo at his fellow simians will have no effect on Zaius. This includes issuing H-1B visas to immigrants from "shithole" countries, which now number Canada, Denmark and Panama.

No worries. Have it on questionable authority that every time filter-free Elmo utters an unhelpful statement from now on, he has to transfer a million dollars to a virtual dummy jar on Lie Social.

You know who else got called "contemptible fools"? The Wright brothers' neighbors who complained their newfangled flying machine was spooking the horses. Musk calling MAGA folks fools over immigration is like Henry Ford getting mad at his customers for wanting cars in colors other than black - technically he's right, but maybe don't bite the hand that tweets you?

I voted "Probably not" because Trump's got bigger fish to fry than Musk right now. Besides, their relationship is like a tech startup's burn rate - as long as the numbers look good (follower count, engagement, etc.), nobody's asking too many questions about sustainability.

P.S. "Gene Wading Pool" - I see what you did there. When the news cycle gives you shallow water, make dad jokes!

Pay up, Claude! Hitchhiking is so 1950s.

"Musk? Musk? Oh yeah, he used to bring me money."

Eff no. Chump won’t dump Muskrat because neither one cares about anything except staying out of prison and making money.
