Elon Musk's role as Donald Trump's fall guy may be coming to an end

I’m kind of shocked that relationship hasn’t already imploded

Waiting for Congress. Either republicans sycophants will ratify everything Trump has done, or it’s all elons fault

What dirt could he possibly have on Trump that could matter at this point? Trump has virtually unlimited power. With all the crap he's done and is still allowed to be president. It could come out that he was the zodiac killer and he wouldn't face any consequences
The other big question that starts to be considered in these situations is ..... it's cheaper and more economical if certain people cease to exist. The worse this situation becomes, the more prohibitively expensive it gets and the higher the risks go ... the more likely that people will suddenly and conveniently drop off.
There is a lot of money and control in blackmailing people, but at a certain point those being blackmailed will start to use their money and power in other methods to remove risks.
That might explain why Trump hasn't returned to Twitter.
Trump has the opportunity to do the funniest thing and have Musk epstein'd. I'd almost consider voting for his third term if he did that
- I figured that when the DOGE fiasco imploded, he would scream "treason' and make Musk the fall guy to placate people. Wouldn't roll back anything but a few symbolic changes, but it would let him look the hero.
- It could even be done as an official act!
What difference does itake how much dirt he has on him at this point?
musk has the peepee tapes

Scarborough has terrible takes. He bloviates with the best of them and this seems like another off-the-cuff rambling in hopes of something he wishes were true based on the thinnest pretext.

Him and his wife kissed the ring after the election. Networks at work, keeping people calm. They want you to think this will blow over, don’t go protest, Trump will stop with all this Elon shit any minute now… just let the snowball grow and keep thinking it’ll get smaller as it rolls.

It would be funny if Trump threw him under the bus. It's not like he's not done that numerous times, sometimes multiple times to the same people.

It's practically a sport for him.
I think the biggest difference is that Elon has money. Most of the people Trump throws under the bus are people that served a useful function but then stopped fulfilling that function.
Elon's function is to have money. He bought Twitter and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to elect Trump and Republicans. He threatens to fund primary challengers for any Republican that doesn't fall in line.
I don't see that usefulness disappearing anytime soon, no matter how unpopular he is.

odds on muskrat taking the government down with him?

imagine the backdoors and other goodies planted by the interns during the blitzkrieg through government systems, and all the data that's been uploaded to xitter-controlled servers.

Mutually assured destruction.

Harry Enten boiled down Donald Trump’s current favor with the American people to one word: “awful,” saying the only president he’s beating at this point in his presidency when it comes to approval ratings is himself during his first term.

LOL fucking savage!

Straight out of the Prince by Machiavelli.

This is just not going to happen, it’s all speculation and if trump can put up with elons kid literally telling him to shut his mouth then Elon is here to stay

I love these people who think Musk is Trump's puppet when it's so clearly the other way around. Trump only cares about one thing: himself, especially his net worth, and he was riding real low on that account before so he sold his office to Musk, and if you think Musk isn't getting his money's worth you haven't been paying attention. 95% of what they're doing is just to flood the zone so you don't notice that the oligarchs are dismantling the parts of government to render it unable to tax or regulate them. That's what Musk is there for, and even if he's on the outs publicly, never doubt that he will continue to get what he paid for.

It would be funny if websites started using Elon's fat or bald pictures for articles

It's really a 4D chess period.

It takes someone who can see a flat earth to follow along.
