    Daily reminder that it’s always a good idea to tweet Trump with messages like “why aren’t your ideas as good as <insert scumbag here>?”

    Get them in the habit of tearing each other apart and we can keep them occupied for most of the next 4y.

    The hyaenas will be at each others’ throats constantly. That will be the one defining feature of the next Trump administration.

      This specific tension happened a lot sooner than I expected.

      Let’s see… a guy famous for (among other things) owning a company that builds electric cars teams up with the guy who said he wants to outlaw electric cars. Fireworks were inevitable at some point.

        I don’t think EVs are the key issue here. The key issue are the grotesquely overinflated egos they both have. It’s basically impossible for them to accept anyone as equal.

        No it’s a guy who wants to be king vs a guy who wants to hold the whip but both view themselves as heroes and the greatest gift to humanity.

        One thinks his personality is what won him over and will keep all the support of his followers and one thinks he’s the smartest person in the room and his correctness will show that he deserves all his followers.

        It’s cult leader narcissist vs cult leader narcissist. They don’t even have to get to policy before the breakdown occurs.

        Tesla produces primarily stock market manipulation schemes, cars secondly…

        The value isn’t tied to the cars they produce now, so it doesn’t matter how many cars they actually sell.

        That was an autocorrect error. None of those fuckers trust each other one bit.

    I think this is hilarious. I wonder if they have some kind of agreement that trump can’t just back out of. Maybe it was a handshake deal and he’s just now getting annoying enough?

      It isn’t really an ‘agreement’, it is power. Money is power, and that makes Musk extremely powerful. He has shown that he can literally buy congress - either directly, or by threatening to back challengers. And while trump has the title of President, he doesn’t have the power: it has been shown that trump backing a person just isn’t enough to get them elected any more, unlike Musk’s money backing a person.

        But people actually stormed Capitol Hill and went to jail for Trump, not Musk. I don’t see any backwater dispossessed citizen taking part in a coup for Temu Tony Stark.
