    I can’t imagine, as an adult person, having a back and forth Twitter feud with another grown ass adult. Are they going to post vague, passive-aggressive images next? Some people never experience growth beyond the middle school lunch room, and it is baffling.

      Honestly I believe it’s theater. If trump was serious he already would have cancelled them. And Elon with his “breaking news” that Trump is on the epstien list? We already knew, there’s multiple pics and vids of it. That’s like “BREAKING NEWS THE SKY IS BLUE” sort of bullshit.

      They’re trying to distract us and make it look like Elon is leaving, all while he is still very much behind the curtain.

      Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t trust them one bit.

        I couldn’t say if you’re right or wrong about their angle, only that you’re right not to trust either of those clowns.

          Like they say, actions speak louder than words. You can’t trust their words, only their actions. Both of them are known for stabbing others in the back and doing the exact opposite of what they say. And right now all I see is a lot of hot air and no action.

          The “assassination” attempts, the promise of not axing medicare, Bagdad Barbie, the media control, Musk’s “free speech tirades,” Doge, and his complaints of bots while actively using bots, etc… everything they do is to deceive and misdirect.

          And suddenly everyone is talking about their little hissy fits, and less about the “Big Bullshit Bill” they’re trying to cram into law.

        I think scapegoating musk was always the plan, not sure if he knew that or not though.

        At the very least he’s trying to distance himself from the admin to try and save his companies image.

        Nah, on a personal level they’re both dead serious. This is exactly the messy divorce we’ve been predicting since day 0.

        Do they follow through though, that’s an entirely different question. I guess they’ll screech into the void some more, listen what comes back, then decide what to do.

    “I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!” Trump wrote in the social media post.

    “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”

    Musk promptly responded on X: “Go ahead, make my day.”

    He later upped the ante, writing, “In light of the President’s statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.”
