Context:

Trump is following. He’s trying to pretend otherwise but he’s following. And unlike all of Trump’s other bad hires or hires he gets tired of, he can’t just shitcan Musk. Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollars. He’s got a bigger megaphone. And he’s got his own brand. I’m pretty sure there will eventually be a really big and really ugly falling out between the two of them. But it will take a while to get there and the costs are potentially quite large for both of them.

Trump has sewn himself into a sack with Elon Musk, a few billion dollars, a cat and a snake, and had the sack tossed into the Tiber. That’s the story here. And it will go on for a while.

Musks megaphone is a joke. Some of us knew Musk was an asshat a long time ago, but it's more common place now.

Musk is simply good at marketing. EVs were a buzz -gets into EVs. For a while, any halfway decent articles about 'Tesla' would go viral online. -Bought Tesla. Carbon Fiber was in - wanted to make all Teslas carbon fiber. Have you seen any paid ads for his shit? -It's all media buzz, and that buzz is dying.

Fr, Musk has always ever been a dumb lucky fuck! But unfortunately they have discovered the Hungarian (our) example.! He already is, but he will the richest fuck that ever lived! He is already handling government contracts (as of handling the nasa space launch contracts)

I wonder what else he will take over

I’m looking forward to the headline that Trump had the secret service off Musk as an “official act.”
