Musk has, perhaps, put himself in the position of allowing Trump do to him what Putin did to many oligarchs in Russia. Knock off some big ones and the rest come to heel. Trump can totally destroy Musk through contract cancellations, subsidy cancellations, DOJ investigations and IRS audits and anyone who thinks for a second that Trump won’t do it doesn’t understand Trump.

I remember a picture of Putin meeting with his oligarchs sitting at a VERY VERY long table (probably could seat 60 people), with the oligarchs at one end and Putin at the other.

Very odd, but very telling.

Amusing to watch, but in the end none of it matters. The Republican base is so morally corrupt that none of this matters as long as Trump keeps bashing their domestic enemies (liberals, blacks, feminists etc). Trump said he could shoot someone dead on Fifth Avenue without consequences and he was right. It's great to see vile underlings like Musk get their comeuppance, but it's not as if shooting Ernst Rohm on the Night of the Long Knives was a step back to democracy for Germany.

“However, there is also growing evidence that the 2024 presidential elections were affected by substantial voter fraud in favour of Trump, so maybe it wasn’t all Musk (I will cover this topic in more detail soon).” Can’t come soon enough! Please don’t delay on this.

It's my understanding that there was no paper ballot count in the seven swing states. Thus it would be possible, using AI, to switch Harris votes to Trump and then have them revert back after being tallied. The Repuygnants had four years to plan this and babbling all that time about an Election that was not stolen makes it ever so much harder to fight one that actually was. Putin in 2016 and now AI in 2024.

I don't think anyone cares about Trump being in the Epstein files as everyone knows his sexual habits, unless, of course, minor girls were the recipient of his lust.

As for Musk's immigration status, look he has had weeks and weeks to alter documents as DOGE seized incredible swatches of data and records.

As for both being losers, well neither will lose as much as the American people which is of course of no concern to Musk or the President.
