“He’s finished, done, gone. He polls terrible. People hate him,” an anonymous source close to the Republican Party told Politico. “He’d go to Wisconsin thinking he can buy people’s votes, wear the cheese hat, act like a 9-year-old. … It doesn’t work. It’s offensive to people.”

    I believe it’s a media tactic to publish stories like that, Trump’s bromance with Musk is sour, Trump not happy with Netanyahu, Trump angry with Putin. All these stories serve the purpose that Trump can show growth. In reality, neither Trump or Musk care.

      And neither have the capacity for growth. However, Trump does care what people think. It’s part of his narcissism.

      its all a distraction and sanewashing. to the horrible tarriffs, the doge cuts, the continued support of gaza, notice how all that partially disappeared from the MSMs, they are complicit because they are owned by conservatives too.

      and the biggest one right now, is medicaid/care and tax cuts right now. it was the same tactic they used to bury all the luigi news from DEC-JAN.

      all those trump’s(hate this or that") are just gaffes.

      Yeah in this thumbnail image it looks like Musk is holding back a smile as if it’s all a setup to dupe the masses.

        The image is from March, but who knows

        I am more inclined to believe Thiel set him up to be the face of all the DOGE work and then had him step down when Kratsios was nominated.

        I also saw something about nuralink stock being up though, so could be a distraction

      I just see it like two fat kids fighting over a burger. Only so much of the US to eat.

    If you read the quote from the anonymous source in Trump’s voice…it sounds exactly like the way he would shit talk somebody

      Right? I was surprised it said anonymous because I immediately had his face in mind when I read it.

    Like either of them ever actually liked each other. Purely a transactional relationship never without an expiration date.

    I hope he gets sued to high hell and Trump refuses any pardons or support and Elon legitimately ends up in prison.

    Or he gets cancer.

    Or he overdoses.

    IDGAF at this point, he needs to end and Tesla needs to collapse.

      Trump, Musk, Putin, Netanyahu, etc are symptoms of a disease. We need to treat the cause or a new douchebag will simply fill the void.

    Nah, it’s all an act. Polls show that HitlerPig’s numbers are slipping, so they are blaming his associations with Skum and Putin, so he is talking them down right now. It must be them, right? Everybody would love HitlerPig if those other guys were out of the picture.

    Now that he’s disavowed Skum and Putin, his numbers will certainly go up. That’s what they’re thinking.

    It won’t work. Everybody hates him.

    He’s just now figuring out he’s disposable. “Brilliant business man” gets fucked over by sundowning Nazis.
