If Elonazi actually manages to maintain the attention span to see this through over the next 1.5-2yrs, I'm all in and here for it...
But, the reality side of me holds little to no hope this particular tantrum will last. Especially given Mafia Don Mangolini holds the checkbook for all Elonazi's gov't "income". 🤡 🖕 💩

I do not like that Elon Musk.
Never uttered a word I believe or trust.
He has fathered and fled more kids than Nick Cannon.
With a soul and heart more grotesque than Steve Bannon.
When he goes to jail the world will dance.
Until then we can smile as he pisses his pants.
-
Oh, you don't like Elon? I couldn't tell, @JailElonMusk. 😆
-
Beautiful
-
Took me a long time to figure out why you didn’t rhyme the last word
-
-
Good, also fuck him
-
I wish they fight to the death
-
And both loose
-
-
-
-
they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth
Win win.
-
Democracy is when the richest man on Earth can help elect the politicians he likes.
-
"Look, democrats, I'm on your side again! Please buy my cars"
-
Elon's only concern is those government handouts his companies have been getting.
He doesn't care about the trillions in US debt, people losing health insurance or anything that doesn't affect him.
-
He didn't say that... He wants a third party.
-
Thats a much better scenario for dems than him pandering to dems

The best use of a Tesla, is having it on fire and blocking ICE traffickers.
...honestly, that might actually be a good way to protect our communities. Teslas would make for a decent gatehouse barricade at anti-trafficking checkpoints. Nothing of value is lost if a ICE vehicle tries to force their way through.

He's gonna be the first person denaturalized for his "nazi rhetoric" as a theatrical farce of normalizing deporting US citizens. It'll be in a "this is what u dem's asked for" way with tv propagandists showing hand selected tweets calling for musk's deportation from liberal pfp accounts.
-
I think it's all theater to win over all the rightwing folx that he cultivated during this tour. These are the folx that are gonna be hurt the most from this bill and are just ignorant enough to buy a Tesla out of some weird culty appreciation. Mans trying to salvage a lagging brand.

-
I want this Nazi FUCK out of my country
-
*planet
-
I want him removed from the Space-Time Continuum
-
-
-
I mean, go ahead Muskrat, but please also go the fuck away.
-
Baby boy’s heart is still broken.
-
If I can't have him....
-
-
Ok so wtf?
“Why aren’t you as genocidal as my family!”
Next to….
“I’m trying to fuck my daughter as hard as I can!”
The rest of us….
-
Primary with who? They're all MAGA.
-
So almost all of them?
-
Nope. 51-50.
-
My brain in a sleepy state injected the word "Republican" in the title. Lol, oops.
-
That's the senate
-
-
-
I used to think that romance subplots in movies/tv shows are so ridiculous, then I see this divorce on the news. 🤣
-
Pretty much my only hope at this point is that these two fuckers will take each other down.
-
If one wins the fight, I'd want it to be Elon because he doesn't have the following Trump does.
Elon's already on his way down from his pedestal, all he'd gain from attacking Trump is taking Agent Orange down with him.
Therefore who I root for in the feud is without question, Elon The Musky Husky.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does this mean? He threatens to 'primary' members of Congress?
I've tried searching, and that wasn't much help, employees of said member are to quickly start looking for another job. Something happens at the end of term.. And a Time magazine article, which was beyond useless in explaining what it is.
I'm none the wiser.. 🤷

Congress members in the US are elected in constituencies. For each constituency each party typically fields one candidate. Before the actual election, the parties hold primary elections to determine the candidate for the constituency for that particular party. Pretty much anyone can run in these primaries. Your chance of winning very much depends on the support, i.e. funding you have. If Elmo decides to fund candidates that would challenge the incumbents in the primaries, he could likely unseat quite a few of them on account of having a lot of money. And yes, this is all deeply undemocratic.
-
And yes, this is all deeply undemocratic.
Agreed, and it's worth noting the Republican party has done the same thing to candidates who weren't far enough to the right.
-
Thank you. Every time I think the US election system couldn't be any more open to corruption, I'm proven wrong. Learning something new every day.

-
Alright, time to start primarying if you're not totally full of shit, elon.
-
One of the rare times Elon and I are on the same side
The Big Beautiful Bill bans all legislation that regulate AI and more importantly, bans Transgender Healthcare for all but the very rich.
-
Is he going to invent something worse than MAGA? !
-
Yes, the X party, most likely 🙄
-
-
Looks like Musk has been hitting the Ketamine again. He's going to be wearing a diaper permanently if he keeps this up. Not that anyone cares about him I guess.
-
-
Good!
-
Is ‘primary’ as a verb a thing?
-
[Nods in English]
-
People have been trying to make it a thing for a while. I don't know whether or not it started at a news outlet, but multiple news outlets have picked it up, so...
-
Trump had been using it to threaten Republican politicians who didn't do what he wanted, said that he'd support their opponents in primary elections. I hadn't heard it prior than that.
-
-
that worked out great for wisconsin didn't it...?
-
Primary them with his own toadies he means
-
Do it if you're not a bussy.

Oh, this is going to get good, isn't it?
No. Its going to continue getting worse unfortunately......
Might as well have some entertainment while civilization is collapsing
Gallows humour and schadenfreude is all that most people have left to enjoy.
"The story of America"
Meh, I can see no harm from Republican infighting.
No. Trump will threaten NASAs contracts with SpaceX and musk will say "sorry daddy".
That's the neat part, NASA has already been severely cut by this bill.
MACO!
The difference is that Musk doesn’t depend on Trump to remain relevant (or solvent). All those others absolutely do: They were nothing before Trump, and nothing without him.
An explosion of dumpster fires.
(settles back and puts feet up with a giant bowl of popcorn)
No nothing is good about two asshole like this going head to head.
