And if Elon is serious - and I think he probably is - his third party will split the GOP vote I’m afraid and hand Dems victories in many places.
Careful what you wish for, Freepers... !
You really are coming across as a cheerleader for anyone who opposes President Trump. How is that helpful?
Childish Trump response.
Dems always get everything they want;with stupid GOPers ( re damned RINOS and the mentally ill ), they'd rather get NOTHING, than some of what they want.
Half a loaf is better than NONE...as the old saying goes.
I saw the little news conference and don’t believe Trump was being at all serious.
The deportation line was the result of a reporter suggesting it.
Trump was being playful.
Trump is acting like a baby.
Its embarrassing for both. I would really hope they are screwing around, but if they are, they have me fooled.
Is NOT equal to we are going to deport Musk.
It simply implies they might reduce subsidies Trump thinks Musk's companies get using DOGE.
Maybe its all a psyop
Maybe its a fake fight to distract leftists, for some unknown goal
Maybe they find this public shit-posting to be fun
This is not good. I thought that perhaps it was a game between the two to reel in the Democrats into doing something stupid, but it looks like it might be the real thing.
I value the friendship of these two men, who each have a problem with being discreet, in addition to holding their tongues (even in private) . . . regarding their disagreements.
Both fellows have made clear, what their concerns are re the budget. President Trump is leaning toward "growth is going to pay off," while Elon Musk is a bit more interested in "cutting costs."
Both fellows seem to mostly agree re cutting the size and some of the wickedness (disguised as "care" and "DEI") of the federal principality.
I wish that these guys would focus on being well-behaved leaders - setting good examples. Skip the smash-face utterances (that are too common, here at FreeRepublic.com).
IMHO
Trump wants unlimited funds to be donated from the rich to political campaigns. If the USSC allows that then it will give Elon a ton of power no matter where he is.
When working as a team, one should seek out wins and know there will be some losses. His "all or nothing" approach serves nobody but himself.
Sounds more like Trump is just joking around (I hope).
Talk about pork, what about Bidet’s ridiculous green new scam? Elon is showing his climate-cretin self again.
elon, come back to the fold.
Trump is being particularly nasty and foolish with the deportation threat. Musk is a naturalized citizen ... Like his first wife Ivana ... Like his current wife Melania. Would he like Melania to live under such a threat? He won’t be president forever. He shouldn’t go there.
I wish these two would make up, but if he hasn’t gone after Hillary or Soros yet, he’s got no business going after Elon.
This whole Trump / Musk Feud is foolish and juvenile..
Like two bulls fighting in a field, and not even over who gets to mount the cutest cows or who get the nicest patch of grass to eat.
At least Musk has backed off a couple of times, and tried to calm things down. But Trump seemingly can’t ever forgive or forget a slight, real or imagined.
