    No way, Fat Bunny. You were talking a lot of shit before the election and then you got your ass handed to you.

    The words Trump said were 'Fight, Fight, Fight' and this thing ain't over.

    "Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't voluntarily leaving the Apprentice, he was fired by his bad (pathetic) ratings, not by me," Trump wrote in a message on his personal Twitter account. "Sad end to great show."

    This is coming from a person who demanded Covid lockdowns, mask and vax mandates. He gets real emotional when he hears a woman say 'You can't tell me what to do with my body' as he demands they get injections.

    Thats rich.

    It's intersting that Trump's team have branded Elon a narcissist. They are likely worried about two occupying the same space.

    The key distinction between a true narcissist like Trump and a bit of a narcissist is motivation.

    If Musk’s actions stem primarily from a need for admiration and validation, it would indicate clinical level narcissism.

    If his behavior is driven by the practical need to sustain attention and funding for his projects, it would more be a role he plays intentionally.

    Being the same age, I find it odd that it seems Elon and I had near the same library growing up. I however reached for more absurdism, Douglas Adams, Tom Robbins etc. Surrealism, humour and quite a lot of optimism. Musk misses double entendre sometimes, notably Starship Troopers recently but he also gets Iain M Bank's Culture wrong, he just sees it as neat names and cool ideas but misses how it is profoundly, optimistically, socialist.

    As you would expect from a Scottish man of that background.
