Ah, there it goes.

Musk is China & SA compromised, not Russia.

Hopefully JD Vance will sit in on them.

Makes sense. They'll have to figure out who gets custody and visitation rights for him.

QuoteFor sale at the White House: one bright red Tesla Model S. Should run fine; the owner just seems to have had buyer's remorse.

Less than 24 hours after President Trump and Elon Musk engaged in a rancorous public spat, Mr. Trump has decided to sell the red Tesla he got in March, according to a White House official speaking on condition of anonymity because the person wasn't authorized to speak publicly
Awarded 17 Zoupa points

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

Quote from: Zoupa on June 05, 2025, 03:12:32 PMMusk is now tweeting about creating a new party "for the 80% in the middle". Dude sieg heiled twice like 3 months ago.

He is aiming for the middle between Himmler and Rudolf Hess.

There was a report a few weeks ago suggesting Musk and Thiel had been corrupted by Russia.  Doesn't exclude that money had been funneled by other countries to fulfill the same goals though.

It's all very confusing.  Musk is making pedo allegations, which makes him the Kendrick Lamar of this feud.  But that would make Trump the Canadian side, which just seems wrong.

I saw it said it is Kendrick vs Drake but both are Drake.

Anyway this nonsense seems to have cooled off. I figured this whole Trump vs. Musk thing was the usual pointless courtly intrigue signifying nothing like usual.

But this seemed more serious. Like an actual falling out, not merely a courtier failing to please the king.

We'll see. Once everybody's drugs wear off this might all signify nothing.

Even if it is serious I doubt it'll affect Trump. A few mean things said on twitter isnt any worse then all the shit that has slid off trump over the years. 50% of Americans just don't care. Probably more, actually, that's just 50% of voters. People who didn't vote probably don't care either or they would have voted. In a real fight only musk has something to lose.

The destruction of Elon Musk as a dangerous political force is just as important.

Trump is ancient with no clear successor.
