  1. I know there is a serious crisis meeting at The White House right now.
     
  2. If Musk stays on the current path all might be forgiven

    LOL. We can watch many of Musk's businesses go broke that are highly dependent on government contracts.

    'Go ahead,' Musk says as Trump threatens to cancel government contracts


    As we've reported earlier, Trump posted on Truth Social: "The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!"

    Over the years, Musk and his companies have received at least $38 billion (£28bn) in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits, according to analysis by the Washington Post.

    Musk replied to a different tweet, which shared a screenshot of Trump’s message: "Go ahead, make my day..."

    In another tweet, where Musk copied Trump's post, he says: "In light of the President’s statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately".

    Dragon is the spacecraft that's been taking Nasa astronauts to space.

    Dem's would never turn on each other, this proves Republicans are too retarded to be corrupt.
    Elon should support Vivek, extreme honesty vs the corrupt status quo.

    I am just waiting for Trump to forcefully take over some of Musk's businesses (e.g. SpaceX) which will be declared strategically important to the United States.

    He’ll hand it to 1789 capital.

    what’s funny is that Trump is blaming Biden for not canceling contracts with musk when he let doge keep them.

    If you wrote a fictional novel about the events of the past 24 hours outlining the battle between Musk and Trump most readers would find it unbelievable --- but here we are in real life.

    Musk Demands Trump is Impeached—as He Threatens Elon’s Money
    https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-threatens-to-take-musks-billions-as-war-goes-nuclear/

    Elon Musk’s spectacular falling-out with President Donald Trump has escalated further, with the former DOGE chief suggesting the president should be impeached and replaced by Vice President JD Vance.

    The latest attack came not long after Trump threatened to cancel Musk’s government contracts, claiming Musk had “gone crazy” after not getting what he wanted in the mega-spending bill.

  10. Apparently Elon has lost his damn mind. A falling out pissing contest isn't that much of a surprise considering who we're dealing with, but the Epstien list claim...that's something he cannot walk back. True or not is irrelevant in that regard. Musk is done. Is it possible that one of the wealthiest and powerful people in the world can blow there life up so quickly, so publicly? Can one man completely destroy a corporation in a relative blink of an eye? Eccentric is one thing. A temper tantrum of this magnitude? Crazy world we live in.
