“Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday, followed by “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!” Oh this is fucking great.
In related news, Republicans speaking anonymously to Wired were not that worried about the blast radius from the now-accelerating breakup between their daddies. Well, mostly not that worried. “If Musk actually successfully gets any votes switched to tank this bill and kills it,” a “senior” minion said, “then I think at that point he’s fucking dead to Donald Trump.” Others say this came at basically the worst time possible because Trump’s got “18 months” and then that’s it. “Some of the priorities of President Trump are not possible outside of this bill,” said a source, obviously earlier.
The more cautiously optimistic minions say shit like “If this really is a divorce and they start butting heads, it doesn’t take much for Trump to put out a Truth Social post that undermines what Elon’s trying to do.” A strategist “My advice to clients, many of which are in Congress in the Senate and seeking reelection, is to take the side of their voters and not the side of Elon Musk.” Meaning Trump.
“If you vote to basically throw your district under the bus, that means you’re going to lose in November anyways,” added one of the other sources about which side to pick.

Oh and some food for thought as they ponder this question: Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years …

Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?
