Yes, yes! I knew it would work. Seems like pretty much everybody got the same idea at the same time and it's working a treat. If you can't defeat your enemies, turn them against each other!

Now would be a good time for a reminder that there is no such thing as a moral billionaire. Scientifically, sane people retire to lives of luxury with their families long before they reach that level of wealth. The only reason to seek such wealth is out of a sick desire to control other human beings. Religiously, scripture says that there are no wealthy people in paradise. In the end, they all burn. Scientifically or religiously, you do not become a billionaire unless there is something broken in your soul.
That's why it says the oft misquoted "the love of money is the heart of all evil." That "love" is the key part of that equation.
"I am an alpha male."
The narcissists are fiiiightiiiiing!
"I AM SPARTACUS!".
"NO YOU ARE NOT! I AM SPARTACUS!".
"NUH-UH!"
"AM SO!"
"Bruh, what are these dorks going on about? Pass me another brew and fire up that J."
Time to lean fully into this: Elon is doing all this to expose the ridiculous control money has over politics
Good..I hope they tear each other to pieces.
maybe we'll be lucky and they'll be too busy tearing each other apart that they won't have time to tear this country apart.
I would think Trump pretending to be fabulously wealthy but being exposed as a populist grifter, and Elon being the richest guy in the world, would hang in the air like Trump's stench.
So we really did get our second African American President.
First illegal immigrant President, too.

Something wrong with your eyes, Bizzle? It's right here. *hands a fat wad of cash*
This dude is so fucking easy to manipulate.
Really, the exact trait that I want in a leader 🙄
If he's so easy to manipulate, then why don't you do it?
No seriously please, help us.
Its the ones comfortable with manipulating people that are precisely what we do not want help from
So which one gets into a horrible accident /assassination?
Either one has the willingness and lack of foresight to take out the other
What, junior assistent deputy backup "president" Donald Trump is furious that President Elon Musk outranks him and gives him orders? He cannot be mad at President Elon Musk, President Elon Musk could order a nuclear strike on his house, does lowly Donald Trump not know that? He should thank his President Elon Musk for bringing him with him to the white house, Elon Musk's new residence!
Trump is pretty vulnerable. He won’t complete his full term
Oooooooo, President Elon is gonna be pissed at poor man Trump and cut off his funding.
Trump better shape up and kiss the ring.
Yeah, how dare Trump talk to his superior, Elon Musk, like that?? It’s unconscionable!
Why are they calling journalists? I thought all the news was fake.
Yeah, I thought journalist always called him. Him being a "ratings machine" and all.

It would be helpful to constantly remind Donnie that Musk is about 100 times richer than him, too.
Probably more considering that Trump's wealth is based on lies
And Musk's isn't?
The whole Tesla bubble is all lies all the way. I don't follow other companies, but I would expect it to be the same.
His is stock valuation, Trump's is home made real estate valuation.
I predicted this a while back: Having two thin-skinned megalomaniacs working together never works out in the long run. Trump and Elon are both too dysfunctional even to be able to work individually with patient people without it going off the rails. Having them working together with each other is doomed to explosive failure eventually.
The funny part is Trump doesn't even take office for another month, the relationship might fall apart before he's even inaugurated and actually in power, let alone lasting "long term".
Did someone say murder-suicide?
Yessssss poke the thin skinned bears... Have them tear each other apart
Can we not insult bears with this comparison, even the weakest, dumbest, most cowardly bear is still leagues better than them. Except Koala but they arent even real bears so fuck em, Nazi punks of the bear world.
Did it stop being president Putin, or is Trump just getting spitroasted by both of them simultaneously?
I would like to return one mental image please
It’s intriguing, though, who’s in front, who’s in the back, and does it even mean anything?
I predict this will be an ongoing but toxic thing, like a really bad relationship between two people who just won’t break up.
They’ve essentially married themselves to each others’ power… But also, they literally need entire media platforms to stroke their egos.
Sounds like he might be easy to manipulate by the media.
Did you hear that Trump is just following orders from the religious right, that Christian nationalists are the true president? All his anti abortion and anti socialism stuff is just following orders from his master.
Except Joe Biden is president of the United States…
President-elect Musk it is then
I had this discussion with people IRL recently, wondering who the real power behind the throne was, because when they let him do interviews on his own, it's clear the orange figurehead is too far gone with dementia to be this organized and focused on the transition. I hope that the real power behind the throne is Leon, because he's so stupid. Dangerous, yes, but not as insidiously dangerous as somebody smart.
In any case, I want this to be true. It's exactly what I would've predicted, so I'll keep calling him President Musk.

Hear me out: put them in a ring and let the gladiator games begin. Let the ego flow. It's best for all of us.
Guess the journalists will answer " Weird Flex, but OK"
Nooo fuckin way I’m doing the Abramson thing again
Trump must give amazing head. Must be those soft fatty cheeks.
