I’m honestly wondering if this whole thing between Trump and Elon os a Kayfabe.

The thought occurred to me as well. Elon took massive hits with his businesses for supporting Trump. Creating a view that they are enemies and that Trump is against him, may win him back a bunch of the left-wing kooks calling him a "Nazi", and setting fire to his businesses.

This may all be show and theater, but it could also be a collision of egos.

I wish that were true. But, sadly, I think we’re seeing PRIDE COMING BEFORE THE FALL.

So Trump controls the executive and can fire anyone, cancel any contract, deport anyone EXCEPT Elons companies. Wrong. The President runs the executive branch. Elon went all out in Wisconsin and you now have a Democrat court as a result. He’s not Trump.

When he becomes an enemy agent acting against America then he is stepping into a whole new world.

Concur, I doubt his loyalty to the USA.

I think, as a visionary, we should try to read between the lines, and read THE lines, of what Musk is saying and doing.

I'm thinking that accusing Trump of being an Epstein Island pedophile is a bridge too far. I think Musk should have stopped far short of making that accusation.

You say stuff like that, and it gets personal.

‘ Concur, I doubt his loyalty to the USA.’

His loyalty is only to him, always has been. He’s not the only one either.

As I commented on a previous thread, SpaceX accounts for about 95% of US launch capacity. If Trump wants to cancel SpaceX contracts, who is he going to get to launch US government payloads?

I saw this coming months 6+ months ago.

So easy to predict. Two strong personalities that hold grudges and have a history of blow-ups...

yeah, this was inevitable

Those who want to throw away everything Trump has done for this country in order to embrace Elon Musk are people who have been looking for an excuse to turn on Trump all along.

They support dumping the populist who has made it his mission to bring prosperity back to the middle class in exchange for an ultra-wealthy businessman who’s heavily reliant on government mandates and subsidies and supports the unfettered importation of foreign workers via the H1B program.

If Musk controls space force that would be horrible for national security.

When Trump touted he was going to give everyone 5k in savings I knew right then we made a mistake. Now Harris was worse so we were between a rock and really hard place...I foresee the nation spiraling out of control now....

So now Musk wants to blackmail the country in order to get his subsidies back?

Unhinged and unreliable; look at all the damage he has done to TSLA shareholders.

When Elon sent out a Tweet right after the election about MAGA being racist because we didn’t want HB1 I said he is mentally unstable and Trump needed to cut him loose. Of course I was eviscerated. I stand by my statement. The guy is very troubled and we have no idea what a nut like him will do.

You (we) ain’t going to see the files. If they had wanted us to see them, we would have already seen them.
