“Everyone is stating that I will destroy Elon’s companies by taking away some, if not all, of the large scale subsidies he receives from the US Government. This is not so! I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE, in fact, THRIVE like never before! The better they do, the better the USA does, and that’s good for all of us. We are setting records every day, and I want to keep it that way!” posted convicted felon President Trump on his shitty Twitter clone Thursday morning.

Huh. You know “Everyone” saying that could reasonably include Trump himself given statements such as one from 23 days ago in which he posted “Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one. Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!” and then later on camera unsubtly threatened to have the ketamine-brained billionaire denaturalized and deported.

Now not “everyone” but a lot of people on Musk’s social media network on Wednesday pointed out that Elon had kind of said Trump is in the Epstein files in early June which kind of tracks with the timeline of the Wall Street Journal’s reporting of the White House being informed of this, sooooooo…

Well you know, maybe Trump’s just trying to mend fences with a former pal after a nasty breakup.
