Trump and Elon Bromance is starting to look like a messy divorce

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/05/trump-musk-fight/

Trump responded with posts on Truth Social saying that “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.”

Musk volleyed back, declaring it was “time to drop the really big bomb” that Trump “is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day DJT!”

I knew this day would come, too many egos involved.

At this point I could say" (Any Name Here) is in the Epstein Guest Registry…". Looks bad, sounds bad but right this minute, nobody knows and at this point we’ve got to ask does anyone know who’s in the book? Does the book even exist?

Funny how people forgot what leftist trash Musk was when he started throwing money around. He sold fake software to Paypal, made enough money to get on the board, forced his way into being CEO of Paypal, then took a buyout from Ebay and ran before the fraud was discovered there, used that money to get on the board of Tesla, engaged in lawfare to harrass the founders out of Tesla so he could take over… Seeing the pattern? Not once before his son got trannied by the California Family Court, not once before X was threated by an advertising embargo, not once before the Biden admin started thinking of giving contracts to Boeing, ULA and other contractors over SpaceX did he start making noise about free speech and rah-rah Donald Trump. He bought his way into the government, just like all the other startups he bought into, started some good things with DOGE, but as soon as his EV credits got threatened, he pitched a billionaire-sized tantrum. Some people can’t help themselves, and Musk is one of them.

It’s two very powerful individuals with very different temperaments. But in the long run, they do have very similar goals. Things turned very messy in the past 24 hours. But after a cooling off period, I’m confident they will come to an understanding. Elon has ‘conditions’ that make him react more emotionally than Trump. But in the end, his intelligence will win out, and they will make peace.

This is what happens when the President is for sale.

Cancelling the E.V. mandate is evidence of the opposite. Suggesting cancelling the funding to his companies is further evidence that you’re incorrect.

Except he’s always been opposed to EV mandates, this was all about them raising the deficit, remember.

What does the deficit have to do with the statement “This is what happens when the President is for sale” or my response to that statement?

Look at which comment it was in response to.
Either way I don’t know if I am going to really engage in this conversation as you seem like a nice guy and I don’t want to piss you off.
Also this thread is going to BLOW UP pretty soon and I don’t know if I have the time.

MAGA people calling each other leftists as an insult is so funny to me.

Elon lost all credibility with the looney libs when he teamed up with Trump. The only way to get the looney libs to stop burning down Tesla dealerships would be to have a falling out with Trump . Real or fake. So he starts bad mouthing Trump and then he can be accepted by the looney lefties. I’ll bet that the loonies will now accept him back in to their cult. Just like every thing in our government, it’s just for show.

Maybe it is all just theater. Guess we will have to wait for the 2nd act to see.

Have you not read anything. The whole reason for the falling out was that the BBB is going to increase the debt by 5 trillion.
