Donald Trump and Elon Musk have gone from happily using each other for mutual benefit to openly slagging each other off in public. Yes, it is a complete and total shock that the relationship between these two extremely well-adjusted, deeply altruistic, entirely compos mentis individuals has broken down, possibly for good.
On Thursday, Musk took to social media to go scorched-earth on the president in a series of escalating posts that caused shares of Tesla to plunge and, as of this writing, included this claim:
This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.
Musk preceded that accusation by calling Trump a literal ingrate, writing , “Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate. Such ingratitude.” Those comments were undoubtedly inspired by Oval Office remarks in which the president shared that he was “very disappointed in Elon,” whom he said he “helped…a lot.” That disappointment stemmed from Musk’s public declaration on Tuesday that Trump’s spending bill was a “ disgusting abomination .”
Anyway, it appears it’s now Trump’s turn to lob one across the net, and there’s no telling in which direction he’ll go. Will he slap Musk with one of his patented mean nicknames ? Will he claim he didn’t need Musk’s money to win the election? Will he weigh in on Musk’s claim that he is “NOT taking drugs”? Hey, maybe he’ll deport the guy! ( Steve Bannon has said he should.) Sure, the South African–born billionaire is a dual US-Canadian citizen, but that doesn’t matter anymore !
Trump was positively listed on the flight logs already revealed long before his second term. If MAGA really cared about this, Trump would never have been elected.
The reason Bondi stalled and released old files and old info was to further the cover-up, not to be "transparent".
Musk after digging into every aspect of government files including all the American people, Musk probably does have the dirt on Trump.

Maybe. Maybe not. I find it hard to believe that the Biden admin would have sat on that sort of ammo and not have used it, though, if it was there to be used. Maybe if exposing it would have exposed a lot of people they didn't want exposed? Maybe there's so many people from all over the spectrum it implicates that no one on any side will release it.
The low-simmering drama between President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk over the past week over Musk's opposition to Trump's budget bill exploded into white-hot war on Thursday afternoon, with Trump threatening to revoke Musk's billions of dollars in subsidies and federal contracts and Musk casually asserting that Trump is a child sex predator .
Steve Bannon told the New York Times on Thursday that he has been advising President Donald Trump on how best to fight back against Elon Musk’s ongoing attacks, including opening investigations into his companies and deporting him.
“They should initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status because I am of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien, and he should be deported from the country immediately,” Bannon told the Times’s White House correspondent Tyler Pager. Musk, who is from South Africa, became a U.S. citizen in 2002.
Rep. Adam Smith (R-WA) offered a similar take, writing on X, “Far be it for me to offer Trump advice but if he wants to get back at Musk there’s a simple option. Send ICE after him. Deport him for lying about his immigration history when he applied for citizenship. Come on Don. Don’t let Musk push you around.”
Bannon added that he believes the White House should also investigate reports of Musk’s regular drug use as well as his efforts to get classified briefings on China, which Trump said he personally stopped .

The clown show has erupted.
What did we ever do to deserve this.
Our politics is now the WWF.
You hire a bunch a clowns to run the government and you get a circus
It is an embarrassing spectacle. The world is laughing at the USA and we did it to ourselves.
Musk just retweeted a tweet saying Trump should be impeached.
The theatre of the absurd…and dangerous in its implications…

How did it come to this? After all, it wasn’t so long ago that these two were basically roommates and/or father and son . They held rallies together . They performed infomercials in front of the White House. Musk bought Trump a second term, while Trump threatened jail sentences for people doing harm to Teslas. Sure, Trump was using Musk for his money and Musk was using Trump for power, but still!

Seems to me that Trump has his dirt all over him and has been walking around filthy for years now. Not enough people care.
