Could Trump put SpaceX out of business? Will ruining Elon Musk save us "big money?"
Don't watch if you are a hard core 47 supporter, lest you be triggered.
Excerpt from the video transcript:
Elon Musk is on the verge of blowing upall of his companies that he's worked so hard to build with his latest feud with Donald Trump that continues to escalate with every new development with the big beautiful bill. Now that it's passed the Senate, it appears that Elon has temporarily quieted down a little bit on X.
But nevertheless, the situation remains very, very tense between the two men, and it's likely to escalate again when the bill returns to the House for more changes, for another vote. And I can't imagine that Elon isn't going to post more inflammatory statements like this one:
"Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame. They will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on earth".
That doesn't sound like a statement from somebody who's going to calm down anytime soon. And Trump is firing back. Number one talking openly about deporting Elon Musk, which is not an action without parallel, and he's making his own threats. For example, 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 you should have Doge take a good hard look at this big money to be saved.
But is all of this just bluster? What could Trump really do to Musk when it comes right down to it? And what kind of money would it actually save the US taxpayers? Well, the answer is he could do a lot to damage Elon Musk and SpaceX. And in so doing, he would utterly destroy America's dominance in space.
Yes I have. That was Trump's response.
As I said, Elon initiated the attacked.
Elon attacked the bill not Trump, he didn’t deserve that post. And the post is stupid because it would hurt America to do that to Elon.
Elon attacked everyone who was going to vote for the bill. He said he would primary everybody who votes for the bill.
Elon's comment is "stupid" because it would hurt America.
Another 5 trillion in debt would hurt America.
You’re so FOS.
