Someone on Twitter also asked me why I never criticize Trump. The answer is simple. I spent four years from 2016 to 2020 not only criticizing Trump but actively trying to bring him down. I was fully on board with Russiagate. I marched in the Women’s March. I went along with the lie that the Access Hollywood tape proved he was a sexual assaulter (though deep down I knew that was not true).
For the last ten years, there has been nothing but criticism of Trump day in and day out, 24/7, every second of every day. Do I think Trump was on Epstein Island? No, he’s already been cleared of it. If they had that kind of dirt on him, they surely would have used it. Instead, they had to try to frame him to impeach him, to vote him out. They raided Mar-a-Lago. They indicted him four times.
The reason I don’t waste my time criticizing him is that I support and vote for the Trump I know exists - the whole Trump. The good Trump, the bad Trump. The guy who says things he shouldn’t, the guy who might be in over his head with Putin. The flaws are part of the deal. This is like voting for a Great White Shark, saying, “Why don’t you care that he eats baby seals?”
Why don’t I care? Because I care more about ending “gender affirming care” and biological men playing in sports. I care about how the billionaire class has gutted America and the reliance on slave labor overseas. I like that Trump is strong enough to face all of this down and try to do something about it in the short time he has in office.
Why would I waste a second of that time criticizing him? What more can possibly be said by now? I went into my support willingly. If he did something I thought was unforgivable, I would say something. I am not in the “Trump cult.” There isn’t a “Trump cult.” Some people are fiercely loyal and protective of him because they watched him almost get shot in the head on live television. They love him but it isn’t a cult.
A cult would mean everyone takes the vaccine when Trump says to take it. That didn’t happen. A cult means everyone is commanded to obey and comply - that’s true on the Left, not the Right. A cult pushes a singular ideology everyone must believe — true on the Left, not the Right.
In the case of Musk, I think it’s personal. He feels abandoned by Trump. But more than that, he risked his whole business to help Trump win. He got very little in return for that. The Left destroyed his Tesla brand. They called him a Nazi. They burned his cars. Advertising plummeted on X. On top of that, Trump got rid of the EV mandate (I think). So yeah, he feels burned.
But he’s still the richest man in the world. Hard to feel too sorry for him. He still crossed the line when he said Trump was in the Epstein files. He’s still a big baby who is overly sensitive and throws tantrums. I side with Trump because he is the one in power now and is in a precarious position. It’s not all about Elon.
That said, I am grateful to Elon. I have written about him a lot....SNIP

I wonder if the Trump-Musk quarrel is just kayfabe.
I hope that’s all it is.
well said and i feel the same.
I wonder if the Trump-Musk quarrel is just kayfabe.
Part of it is just that———an illusion——
making people think they’re watching an actual beat-down.
The two had to invent an MO to get Musk back
into the good graces of his coterie of interests.
The last tweet I saw from Musk makes me think it was.
I support Trump because he’s been right about everything. He’s never said anything I disagreed with.
Not only do I never criticize Trump ... but I can’t!
The immeasurable, unalloyed evil of his opponents repulses and terrifies me!
People forget that Musk is on the autism spectrum. Sometimes it shows. This was one of those times.
It’s performative for all of the small and petty people out there.
“A cult would mean everyone takes the vaccine when Trump says to take it.”
In reality, he URGED people to take it. It never became a mandate until Biden stole the election.
The same reason I never criticize Mom. I like her and she has always had more wisdom than I.

I trust Trump having America’s best interest at heart. That is why I don’t criticize him, even if he makes a mistake on occasion.
That is some common sense thinking. Sometimes those that took the right pill can be very level headed.
“People forget that Musk is on the autism spectrum.”
Probably true. It’s easy to rationalize bad behavior by blaming it on autism, ADHD, Asperger’s, etc. He probably skates on things often drawing on these “reasons”.
He’s a man-child, and spoiled. He had to have some level of self control to achieve all he has. Sometimes he chooses self control and sometimes he chooses low impulse control and poor coping skills.
I appreciate what he did to help PDJT win. I believe that he and RFK were huge in making this happen.

Bingo.
Also, back in November we had a choice.
Trump or Kamala’s puppeteers.
